But “they still have enough.”
The blogger added.
—and the missiles are proving.
To be a major obstacle.
To the ‘orcs’ effort.
To eject ‘elves’ forces.
From the 250 square miles.
They occupy in Kursk.
The 60,000-strong.
‘Orcs’-North Korean force.
In Kursk tends to attack.
On foot.
Owing to a growing shortage.
Of modern armored vehicles.
But when it does mount.
A mechanized assault.
‘Elves’ missile teams.
Armed with Javelins.
Are waiting just past.
The outermost lines of.
Mines and tiny explosive drones.
“At the front line.
Our tanks are targeted .
By ATGMs.”
The blogger complained.
“As a result.
Our tanks can only operate.
From concealed positions.”
That is, they’re all but.
Useless in their intended role:
Closing with and directly.
Firing on the enemy.
The ‘elves’ air assault brigades’.
Javelin teams might be.
The most notoriously.
Bloodthirsty missileers.
The most notoriously.
Bloodthirsty missileers.
In Kyiv’s.
800,000-strong military.
But in Kursk.
The missile shooters also.
Include marine and.
Special operations units.
But “they still have enough.”
The blogger added.
—and the missiles are proving.
To be a major obstacle.
To the ‘orcs’ effort.
To eject ‘elves’ forces.
From the 250 square miles.
They occupy in Kursk.
In the span of.
Two days recently.
A single Javelin team from.
The ‘elves’ 36th Marine Brigade.
Destroyed three enemy tanks.
And four BMD-4.
Fighting vehicles.
In Kursk.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
5th Special Forces Regiment.
Has been firing.
Javelins at night.
“Even under.
The cover of night.
‘Orcs’ occupiers cannot hide.”
Commented an analyst.
The ‘orcs’ have their own.
Anti-tank missiles.
In Kursk.
—and plenty of them.
“The only area where.
We are relatively adequate.
Is with ATGMs.”
The blogger reported.
But with only a few exceptions.
The ‘elves’ have been.
On the defensive in Kursk.
Since August.
Their vehicles don’t.
Have to break cover.
Approach the front line and.
Expose themselves to ‘orcs’ missiles.
So it’s the ‘orcs’.
Whose few surviving.
Armored vehicles are.
Disproportionately getting.
Disproportionately getting.
Wrecked by mines.
Wrecked by drones.
… and wrecked by Javelins.
But “they still have enough.”
The blogger added.
—and the missiles are proving.
To be a major obstacle.
To the ‘orcs’ effort.
To eject ‘elves’ forces.
From the 250 square miles.
They occupy in Kursk.
*Because I read “One Ukrainian Marine Corps Javelin Missile Team Destroyed Seven Russian Vehicles In Two Days. They Were Vehicles Russia Couldn’t Afford To Lose.” by David Axe on 22 Jan 2025 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, including a comment of WarTranslated.
