Probably targeted by Russia supporters who are reporting posts en masse

Having experienced - 1st hand - what kind of 'content' the FB 'doesn't like', I doubt it's algorithm.

If there's just one complaint, they block first, then ask questions - all provided they ask (or listen to answers) at all. Lately, they just block people and that's it.

Welcome, Don, to the best Ukraine war channel.

Please, never say it’s a Ukraine war channel. Ukraine didn’t need and didn’t want it. This is a Russian one

Many thanks, Tom, for all the latest updated. “Real life” let me out some days, so I read it in a row. And thanks also for add Don’s work to your channel, a great addition!

Thus, welcome Don!!!

Tom, it's a good idea to cooperate with a sober-headed author. As your dedicated reader, I support your decision.

This is a great cooperation, thank you Don for the excellent content and Tom for bring this to us.

If I may be so bold, I would have one purely technical question. As mentioned some time ago - I really like to use the text-to-speech feature. But it is not too cleaver and it 'reads' also every external link what makes it hard to follow the content. So I am wondering whether it would be possible (given it does not cost you, Tom, too much time) to hotlink these external sources? No problem if not, I can read :) but I would very much appreciate if this was possible. Thank you again.

Very interesting and detailed. Gives great granularity about what the situation is like for people on the ground.

Also a question: is any effort going into making infantry clothing, etc that might conceal their heat signatures? That would seem to be very necessary in these night operations.

Would also think manufacture of same would be possible somewhere in the US/NATO.

I'm not aware of any such effort. Ukraine doesn't have enough thermal imagers but they have more than Russia from western vehicles and a limited number of dismounted devices. This often gives them an advantage over Russia at night. Ukrainian tanks are more likely to operate at night and sappers enter the fields at night to clear mines being covered by Russian defensive positions.
