Once again, Lancets do their work on M777s. One image is a Krab though.


Ukrainian ammo depot targeted and destroyed. Video didn't say what means but that targeting reticle is a sign of a Krasnopol attack. Ukraine ammo starved as it is, losing one ammo depot after another doesn't help.

Despite the tricks of Western countries supplying the Ukrainian armed forces with inflatable models of their rifles, our intelligence clearly reveals the real goals. So, two M777 howitzers were spotted. The coordinates of the target were transferred to our artillery. Msta-S self-propelled guns were left to work on the enemy. As a result of the strike, shrapnel damaged the guns of Ukrainian militants. The BC bunker caught fire and exploded
141 countries voted in favor of the anti-Russian resolution, seven were against, and 32 abstained.

If I were the AFU I would order a retreat immediately, they only have two rural lanes to retreat. You'll have to sacrifice two Brigades on this one, but at least save the rest. In Lysychansk they had the competence to contain the Russians in an attempt to cross the river, this time it will be difficult to close the siege.

If I were AFU, Bakhmut would probably a good place for an offensive. Against exhausted enemies, once fresh Western assistance arrives, a Bakhmut offensive would be a huge symbolic victory and probably is a place people don't expect a Ukrainian offensive as opposed to the southern Crimean land brige.

Russia is trying to lay siege on Bakhmut for moer than hald a year by now - talk about bleeding the attacker dry. I don't think that an army incapable of taking a 50,000 people town is to be reckoned with when it comes to winning this conflict. For me a Ukrainian victory is more a question of timing than "if".

If not and the threat is real, Russia need to push faster for a big threatening offensive that would need reinforcement of all troops available for Ukraine.

Baby steps. They've been trying to take Bakhmut for 6 months now and lost 99% of Kharkiv Oblast and western part of Kherson trying to link with their fellow Russians in Moldova is just a wishful task.

Ukraine received the first 4 Leopard 2A4 from Poland. They look kinda rough...

Considering how thing have been going in the area, Kremena, Kupyansk, etc, thats just cope at this point.
4 of them ? Will they pile them for 3 months to do an offensive in May or they will just bring them to the front to test them ??? That's the big question. They need to build a logistic chain for their ammo too.

Will be interesting to watch them on the front.

They are not going to battle until a significant amount of Bradley's, CV90's, Marauders and Leos arrive in Ukraine. We could be talking about late spring before we see western armor in battle.

I wouldn't speak so categorically. There could be a number of reasons and outcomes for the use of Western armor.
