Two of Ukraine’s most celebrated and veteran brigades, the 47th and 67th Mechanized Brigades, both separately refused to fight this week and abandoned key strategic positions along the front lines. They were reportedly exhausted and upset about having had no real leave since being mobilized at the start of the war, and being forced unlawfully to soldier on past the ends of their contracts.
Ukraine only has about 100 brigades. It can’t afford to lose any, nevermind losing its two most experienced brigades. Even worse, the reason the 47th Mechanized threw in its battle towel was because when their relief brigade, the 115th, saw the scorched earth they were ordered into, they said ‘nope’ and stood down. That, apparently, was the last straw for the overworked warriors in the 47th.
So three Ukrainian brigades refused to fight this week at the worst possible times.

If this is true, then we will sone see Ukey units surrendering to the Russians.
Tangent aside, this is why I think Trump wins in a landslide. He's got unbelievable ammunition that hasn't even been used.
Soon on the heels of President Biden last week signing into law a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine’s defense, President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday indicated that he’s working with Washington on a bilateral money laundering agreement which would last ten years, and includes 10 for the big guy. Volodymyr calls it the “10 for 10 war pact agreement.”
But ultimately a key purpose in locking such a long-term deal in would be to keep it immune from potential interference by a future Trump administration.
Interesting. UAVs will certainly make operating Tanks difficult. Though it be in the landscape best suited for Tanks, Steppe and rolling hills..
Only the UAVs that are big enough to carry ordinance such as a Hellfire missile.
Ukraine has taken out hundreds of tanks and APC's with cheap drones with basic charges or RPG warheads.

Maybe, but I am skeptical. Why don't the Russians just run a jammer and thus disable the link between the drone and the operator?
And Russia has used drones to take out so many Abrams M1 tanks the US is holding off sending anymore to Ukeyland.
Drones and accurate/smart artillery are changing warfare.

Canada is closer.
