POETS IN DALNJE
To surround.
The eastern fortress city.
Of Pokrovsk.
From the south.
‘Orcs’ forces first.
Have to roll back.
‘Elves’ defenses.
In Kurakhove.
A village on the bank.
Of the Vovcha River.
18 miles south.
Of Pokrovsk.
The ‘elves’ army’s 33rd.
Mechanized Brigade and its.
German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks.
Stand in their way.
On Monday.
A powerful ‘orcs’ force.
Rolled toward Dalnje.
Just south of Kurakhove.
Clearly aiming to fight.
Its way through the former.
In order to bypass.
And cut off the latter.
Well-aimed cannon fire.
From the 61-ton.
Four-person.
Leopard 2A4s.
— 31 of which equip.
The 33rd Mechanized Brigade’s.
Tank battalion —
Put a quick stop.
Put a quick stop.
To the ‘orcs’ assault.
As an ‘elves’ drone observed.
From overhead.
At least one Leopard 2A4.
Firing armor-piercing rounds.
Shot holes through.
Two ‘orcs’ tanks.
An armored personnel carrier.
And several other vehicles.
‘Elves’ drones chased.
After the survivors.
The ‘elves’ army’s 33rd.
Mechanized Brigade and its.
German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks.
Stand in their way.
“Effective work.
Just blows the heads.
Off the enemies.”
The 33rd Mechanized Brigade crowed.
The battle in Dalnje.
Was a return.
To form for.
‘Elves’ tanks.
The proliferation of.
Explosive drones has changed.
How tankers fight.
On both sides.
How tankers fight.
On both sides.
Of ‘orcs’ wider war.
On Ukraine.
The ‘elves’ army’s 33rd.
Mechanized Brigade and its.
German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks.
Stand in their way.
“Enemy and friendly drones.
Crisscross the air space.
Hunting for valuable targets.
Like heavy armor and artillery.”
An analyst wrote.
“This aerial cat-and-mouse game.
Has fundamentally.
Altered tank tactics.”
Today, it’s common.
For ‘orcs’ and ‘elves’ tanks.
To hide in treelines.
Emerging only to fire.
A few cannon rounds.
At targets miles away.
— or, less often, to lead.
Some desperate assault.
Like the ‘orcs’ attack.
On Dalnje.
It’s a new.
“Era of the cautious tank.”
The ‘elves’ army’s 33rd.
Mechanized Brigade and its.
German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks.
Stand in their way.
The 33rd Mechanized Brigade’s.
Up-armored Leopard.
2A4s were anything but.
Cautious on Monday.
They fought close.
— and won.
It helped.
The ‘elves’ tankers.
That the ‘orcs’ column was.
Led by two “turtle tanks”.
Fitted with bulky.
Anti-drone armor.
That obscures.
The crews’ visibility.
And also prevents.
The tanks’ turrets from rotating.
“Limited visibility and.
Engagement options.
Once you ‘turtled’.
Your tank.”
“— and suddenly you find.
Yourself in an engagement.
With a Leo 2.”
Quipped another analyst.
The ‘elves’ army’s 33rd.
Mechanized Brigade and its.
German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks.
Stand in their way.
The ‘orcs’ have redoubled.
Their offensive.
Toward Pokrovsk.
While also launching.
A counteroffensive against.
The ‘elves’-held salient.
In western ‘Mordor’’s.
Kursk Oblast.
U.S. President-elect.
Winner has pledged.
To end the war.
In Ukraine.
— potentially by leaning on.
‘Mordor’ and Ukraine.
To agree to a ceasefire.
Along the current front line.
The ‘elves’ army’s 33rd.
Mechanized Brigade and its.
German-made Leopard 2A4 tanks.
Stand in their way.
‘The One’ is determined.
To maximize ‘orcs’ gains.
And minimize ‘elves’ gains.
Ahead of possible negotiations.
The pace of ‘orcs’ attacks.
Has doubled or.
Tripled in Kursk.
In recent days;
There’s been an uptick in.
Attacks around Kurakhove, too.
The ‘orcs’ going for broke.
— but the ‘elves’ are, too.

Barrage by ‘elves’ rockets.
May have killed.
Or wounded.
Dozens of ‘orcs’ troops.
In southern ‘elves’.
Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
On or just before Saturday.
Worse is coming.
The administration of.
U.S. has finally.
Given Ukraine.
Permission to use its best.
U.S.-made munitions.
Against targets.
Inside ‘Mordor’.
An ‘elves’ drone.
Winging over Tavria.

On Saturday.
When it spotted.
A large group of.
‘Orcs’ troops crowded.
Around their vehicles.
On the edge of a treeline.

At least three.
M30/31 rockets.
Fired by the ‘elves’ army’s.

Held their fire.
Until the ‘orcs’ were loading.
The wounded in trucks.
A fourth round.
— possibly an M30.
packed with 400.
Grenade-sized submunitions —
Exploded among the survivors.
“Perfect hit!”.
Roared an ‘elf’.
War correspondent.
An ‘elves’ drone.
Winging over Tavria.
Initiated the bloody chain.
Of events.
The carnage was shocking.
But purposeful.
While the ‘orcs’ have.
Concentrated their forces.
In Donetsk Oblast.
In eastern Ukraine.
And Kursk Oblast.
In western ‘Mordor’.
They’re sparing just enough.
Troops and equipment.
To increase the pressure on.
The front line in Zaporizhzhia.

Winging over Tavria.
Initiated the bloody chain.

Of Zaporizhzhia.
Dnipropetrovsk.
And Donetsk Oblasts.

POETS POPPING SMOKE
The proliferation of.
Tiny explosive drones.
All along the 800-mile.
Front line of ‘orcs’ wider war.
On Ukraine.
Ushered in what.
One think tank called.
“The era of the cautious tank.”
But in Kurakhove.
A front-line town in.
Eastern ‘elves’ Donetsk Oblast.
‘Elves’ tanks are anything but cautious.
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
Rolling out to meet.
A relentless ‘orcs’ offensive.
Tanks from at least two.
‘Elves’ brigades are battling.
‘Orcs’ assault groups.
At point-blank range.
— and popping smoke to escape.
The inevitable drone attacks.
On or just before Monday.
A pair of tanks.
— possibly from the 46th.
Air Mobile Brigade —
Engaged ‘orcs’ troops.
At close range.
In the ruins of.
A shell-blasted neighborhood.
The tanks fired and moved.
Fired and moved.
— and then sped away.
Under the cover of.
Their smoke generators.
Narrowly dodging.
At least one ‘orcs’ drone.
That swooped overhead.
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
The shoot-move-smoke tactic.
Is an effective one.
The shoot-move-smoke tactic.
Is an effective one.
“There are a few.
‘Elves’ battalions.
I see use smoke.
Very effectively.”
“And they take.
Noticeably fewer.
Vehicle losses.”
Noted one analyst.
‘Elves’ tank battalions.
Equipped with ex-German.
Leopard 1A5s and.
Leopard 2A4s.
As well as ex-Soviet models.
— T-64s and T-80s.
It seems — have been fighting.
Around Kurakhove for weeks.
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
In late October.
The ‘elves’ abandoned one.
Damaged Leopard 1A5.
While retreating west.
Toward the most defensible part.
Of Kurakhove.
Which lies on the west bank of.
A tributary of the Vovcha River.
An ‘elves’ artillery brigade.
Blew the bridge over the creek.
A few days ago in order to.
Complicate ‘orcs’ advances.
The ‘orcs’ are still coming.
They can ford the creek.
Erect a temporary bridge.
Over it.
Or just bypass it.
By rolling through.
The village of Dalnje.
A few miles to the south.
‘Elves’ tanks are confronting.
Them at every approach.

To try, however.
At least one Leopard 2 from.
The 33rd Mechanized Brigade.
Devastated an ‘orcs’ assault group.
On 12 Nov.
And now what appear to be.
T-80s or T-64s.
Apparently from the 46th.
Air Mobile Brigade.
Are outmaneuvering.
‘Orcs’ troops.
Apparently somewhere.
On Kurkahove’s outskirts.
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
The stakes couldn’t be higher.
The ‘orcs’ formations in the area.
Including the 102nd and.
103rd Motor Rifle Regiments.
Are trying to get.
Through Kurakhove.
In order to turn right.
And extend the creeping.
‘Orcs’ encirclement.
Of the fortress city.
Of Pokrovsk.
18 miles north of Kurakhove.
If Pokrovsk falls.
The whole ‘elves’ line.
In Donetsk.
Could collapse.
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
The ‘orcs’ aim to.
Reach Pokrovsk before.
The January inauguration of.
U.S. President-elect winner.
— who has threatened to end.
U.S. aid to Ukraine —
Throws the politics of.
The wider war on Ukraine.
Into chaos.
The ‘elves’ are willing to.
Take a lot of risks.
To stop them.
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
As recently as.
A few weeks ago.
It was rare.
For tanks.
From either side.
Of the wider war.
To risk a direct attack.
On enemy forces.
“The sky above the ‘elves’ positions.
Is a constant battleground.
Of its own.”
Another analyst wrote.
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
To survive.
Tankers shifted to.
An indirect fire.
Support role.
Angling their main guns.
To lob shells.
At targets.
Miles away.
That’s safer.
For the tankers but.
Also less destructive.
To the enemy.
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
That ‘elves’ tanks are fighting.
At close range again.
Speaks to the urgency.
Of this phase of the war.
But it may also speak.
To an improvement.
In ‘elves’ tactics.
— especially when it comes to smoke.
Using smoke for concealment.
“Takes a lot of coordination.”
The former analyst explained.
“Wind speed and direction.”
“Time of day.
Humidity, the terrain.
The skill of the artillery crew.
Etc. are all factors.”
“You have to consider.
Maybe one of the most?
Difficult things?
To coordinate?”
The ‘elves’ have.
Little choice but.
To try, however.
To try, however.
The defenders of.
Pokrovsk are counting.
On the defenders of.
Kurakhove to halt.
— or at least slow —
An ‘orcs’ offensive that.
Shows few signs of.
Ending any time soon.
