The War in the Ukraine

The video says that this was a Ukrainian stronghold that was destroyed by a Russian missile strike. However it looks to me the Ukrainians blew up the buildings themselves to prevent them from capture. As these buildings are in the 'citadel' area this implies that the Russians may have already breached the defensive line.

Even a couple of delayed fab500 gone deep would not collapse a building of that size so neatly. Would be interesting to know if they are destroying them before the arrival of russian troops or when they are entering it. It clear the view to see the advance of them and deny using it to shot at the next from the higher floor tho.

Ukrainian air defense system unable to defend from Lancet attack.


I already showed this before but it turns out Bukovel was supposed to be an antidrone system. The antidrone weapon however falls victim to a Lancet.


An attempt to camouflage an armored vehicle didn't work against a Lancet.


Ukrainian armored vehicle hit by a precision guided weapon, observed by a Russian UAV.


First video I think might be an Osa air defense system.

The Russian air strike was on the AKZH plant for another video. I misspelled.

Posted this video awhile back and said it was a counter battery radar that got hit. It's actually a US supplied Avenger air defense system.


British supplied Stormer air defense system hit by Lancet.

There's actually a second explosion in the middle after the buildings were demolished. This suggests to me that the Russians did launch a bomb strike towards the buildings which they were not aware that the Ukrainians planned to destroy anyway, and who managed to set off the demolition charges before the bomb hit.

Hearing unconfirmed rumors that units of the DPR, LPR and regular Russian army units are headed to Bakhmut.

It will look more like emotional damage.... The problem with all this hype it's that Russian are waiting for it big time.

The Ukrainian forces need for the dirt to be dry and for a very good cloud cover to mass forces swiftly somewhere and push.

No way they will be able to mass-up slowly and wait for the good conditions, it's willing to be on the receiving end of whatever can fire on their position.
Ukraine mass forces before taking Kharkiv and Kherson and Russia knew and did nothing about it because they couldn't. Ukraine will mass forces for their next offensive and Russia won't be able to do nothing about that either.

Russia has one of the largest conventional bomber forces in the world. If they want to raze whole cities in Ukraine into rubble they can do it. Just consider what they did to Azovstal with a single bomber.
Not with there still being air defenses left, unless they don't mind the bomber loses.

Not to mention, it likely won't accomplish all that much, unless Ukraine gets bombed as much as north Korea got during the Korean war.

Because its not 1943 and we know that mass bombing rear cities achieves nothing (more so when you cant bomb production centers cause they are not even inside Ukraine), and believe or not, most russians have family in Ukraine and viceversa...
