Watching and waiting.
Outside the ruins.
Of Ulakly.
In eastern Ukraine.
In recent days.
‘Elves’ drones demonstrated.
How ‘elves’ drone crews.
And artillery gunners.
Work together.
To spot, track.
Fix and finish off.
‘Orcs’ assault troops.
The 413th Separate Battalion.
Followed the ‘orcs’.
“The enemy is leading us.
To one of their shelters.”
The battalion narrated.
In a video montage.

Spotted movement.
In a treeline.
Presumably outside Ulakly.
Where the battalion.
Where the battalion.
Has been active lately.
The movement turned out.
To be ‘orcs’ troops.
Nearby, there was.
More movement:
‘Orcs’ on motorcycles.
Speeding along a dirt road.

“The enemy is leading us.

After losing.
More than 15,000.
Armored vehicles.
In Ukraine.
‘Orcs’ commanders increasingly.
Send assault troops.
Into battle.
On motorcycles.
Typically, the bike troops.
Lead an assault.
Speeding into new positions.
To secure safe lodgments.
For follow-on forces.
Including increasingly.
Precious tanks and.
Other armored vehicles.

Followed the ‘orcs’.
“The enemy is leading us.

“The enemy is leading us.
To one of their shelters.”
An ‘orcs’ assault is.
Most fragile before.
The tanks arrive.
Which explains why.
Which explains why.
The 413th Separate Battalion.
Moved so swiftly.
To eliminate.
The growing lodgement.
Of bike troops.
Of bike troops.
Outside Ulakly.

Pinpointing the ‘orcs’ dugout.
The battalion sent.
In explosive.
First-person-view drones.
The FPVs blasted.
Uncamouflaged motorcycles.
Meanwhile, artillery.
Bombarded exposed ‘orcs’ troops.
Finally, a second wave.
Of FPVs.
Maneuvered into the dugout.
To finish off any survivors.
“The bunker, along.
With its personnel.
Has been destroyed.”
Was reported.

Followed the ‘orcs’.
“The enemy is leading us.

“The enemy is leading us.
To one of their shelters.”
The successful ‘elves’ operation.
Is indicative of wider trends.
The ‘orcs’ are still.
Advancing west of Ulakly.
After their 39th.
Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade.
Captured the town.
In mid-February.
But elsewhere.
‘Orcs’ gains are slowing.
But elsewhere.
‘Orcs’ gains are slowing.
In some sectors.
The ‘orcs’ are actually retreating.
As Ukraine concentrates forces.
For local counterattacks.

Followed the ‘orcs’.
“The enemy is leading us.
To one of their shelters.”

“The enemy is leading us.
To one of their shelters.”
Around the fortress city.
Of Pokrovsk.
A key ‘elves’ stronghold.
In eastern Ukraine.
‘Orcs’ assaults are down.
80 percent compared to.
Their recent peak.
In mid-January.
The ‘elves’ brigades.
In the city.
Have begun pushing back.

Followed the ‘orcs’.
“The enemy is leading us.
To one of their shelters.”
The battalion narrated.
In a video montage.
“The enemy is leading us.
To one of their shelters.”
It’s possible.
‘Orcs’ regiments are.
Exhausted after.
More than a year.
Of relentless offensive operations.
That have cost them.
A thousand or more.
Casualties a day.
On the worst days.
And also depleted.
Their stocks of.
Armored vehicles.
*Because I read “Ukrainian Drones Followed Russian Bike Troops Back To Their Dugout—And Then The Drone Operators Called In Artillery” by David Axe on 6 Mar 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 an analysis of DeepState.
