What I fear is with Russia willing to move to a war economy but missing tech imports, they are just going to field tons of dumb munitions and basically level everything. It's going to cost Ukraine more lives to go on the offensive and retake land.

You'd think after that many dumps got dumped on the Russians would do something clever.....wait, what the hell am saying. It's probably the Russian munitions manufacturers that are tipping off the Ukrainians the whereabouts of those dumps.
the almost realtime satellite info they are getting from Uncle Sam also makes it hard to hide that much ammo plus, to be quite honest, all you have to do is follow the railways and you'll find it shortly.

Seemingly informative Ukrainian propaganda video:
well put together, suggest giving it a watch

The Russian army is desperately short on drones. So some kind hearted person sent them a care package:

Ukraine to receive 4 more HIMARS trucks, apparently bringing their total to 12. And more GMLRS replenishments. UK M270s haven't been seen yet in the field but the British like surprises so any day now surely.

Also reportedly 1000 units of M982 Excalibur. Paired with their growing collection of 52 caliber 155mm guns these will be quite painful for the Russians also.

Russia is starting to use the S-300 against land targets

The missiles used in the S-300P series have inertial guidance systems with updates provided by radio link and, for the terminal phase, semi-active radar homing. It’s highly unlikely that, under most circumstances, it would be possible to illuminate a ground or surface target for the missile to home in on, but the inertial guidance and radio updates presumably provide enough accuracy to hit larger, area targets. This is not unheard of. The giant Talos naval surface-to-air missile also had a secondary land and surface attack capability for area targets, but it used a nuclear warhead for that application.

Russia don't have much dumb munitions left at the front line.


So many ammunition dumps have been neutralised over the last two weeks. And the Ukrainians are still going. HIMARS shoot and scoot tactics will worry the Russians.

Also came across a report saying that the Ukrainians are using their air force to attack Russian positions around Kherson. Seems the Russians are lacking in air defense.

Bullshit.
More bullshit.
link it.
Show us your true allegiance. Show us the root of the lies you are so desperately peddling.


Your just making shit up now.

Stop with the name calling, the videos and the other things I posted previously are not a big secret.

There have been videos by Ukrainian units refusing to fight. Some of them are western territorial reserves which were sent into the Severodonetsk salient to plug gaps so they are obviously not going to be pleased since they expected to be operating in their region where they signed up. The videos show Ukrainian soldiers complaining of inadequate weapons/training/numbers/support.



115th Brigade​
71st Brigade​
Cherkasy Territorial Defense battalion​
2nd/3rd company 46th battalion​




101st, 58th, 14th, 71st, Cherkasy, 46th, 110th, 95th​


Mark Cancian (CSIS) says that the Russians are now better organized and forcing Ukrainian forces to scale back their use of drones.

The Austrian channel video linked above or another one from the same channel says that the T-62s were more suited for the Donbass role probably as assault guns while newer T-80s are also being shipped in. New Ukrainian artillery pieces donated by western countries or by Poland are being effectively targeted with counter battery fire. Also Russia has managed to beef up its numbers in east with additional BTGs. All these points to Russia having the initiative in the short term.

If Russia has the initiative then why have they stopped their offensive?

Business Ukraine magazine is reporting:

There is speculation this is part of a plan to trigger massive famine across Africa and Asia, in order to trigger a refugee rush to the EU and bring Europe to its knees.


After seeing the stupid evil exercised by Russia on a regular basis so far, it does seem like exactly the sort of plan Russia would embrace. Short term gain, ignore the long term hatred.

So deep in Russian misinformation you missed the mainstream news announcement?

I had no doubt on this at all… There is no depths The Russian Fuhrer wont go to. Its also means that there is at least two levels left in his playbook. Nerve agent and tactical. Sound like we’re banking on him croaking before we get to those.

I think at this point the "plan" is to let Putin break the Russian central government, and then watch the place murder each other in a civil war. The first faction to toss a nuke at the Kremlin will likely trigger a limited intervention to recover the atomics. After that, nobody is going to care.

Looks like an abbreviated one month course, with a publicially stated goal of standing up 2,400 a month.

Appears to focus on how to use a weapon, survive under fire, and first aid.

Looking down the road a bit, I really do wonder if Ukraine will be the epic "stand your ground nation" that the western democracies and its allies will finally commit NATO troops into should the Ukrainians be pushed close to their extinction as a nation by Putin. I can see a probable scenario whereby NATO would accept Ukraine as a member as a means to get directly involved toward stopping Putin's desire to recreate the Soviet Union of a bygone era that he longs for. If such a scenario would occur I wonder whose side India would decide to be on seeing as if China has already stated its position as an ally of Russia.
