This makes sense as a way to separate feints from the actual push
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
if this is the counterattack its pretty weak, your first couple days in any offensive is supposed to be your most powerful, in order to maximize the premium gained from surprise. ukraine did not seem to have gained much, and while the offensive was larger in scale than we have seen, they are still quite small.
impressions of a Taiwanese volunteer who fought in Ukraine, offers his experience for those foreigners who are thinking of volunteering to fight with Ukraine
我們的單位 傷亡率就高達50% 陣亡率20% 光我們排就幾乎覆滅的兩次，我是隊上唯二幸運無傷的人 而且我們所在的戰區烈度還不是最高的
50% of his unit suffered injuries, 20% of the unit died. His platoon almost got wiped out twice. He and another guy were the only ones who haven’t gotten injured.
Battles in his deployment area weren’t the most intense.

If that's the least intense, imagine what's the fighting looks like in the moset intense area.
also.
Nova kakhova dam finally got blown, dunno who did that. The consequences tho, Half of Kherson city will be gone, as well as those islands. The other side of the river will also get flooded badly.

Air strike across Ukraine, cruise missiles launched by Tu-95 over Caspian Sea.
It would be interesting to know how much of it is targeting strategic vs tactical target today

This is bizarre
I have no idea why either side would want that dam gone. It was beneficial to both of them.
Especially Russians as the dam's reservoir feeds Crimea with water as well as the source for cooling for Energodar. So i feel it's hard to believe if it's Russians.
The Ukraine in other hand, may lose their "island hopping" operations as those islands in the river got flooded. Half of Kherson city and possibly some flooding in Nikolaev. They kinda lose less so more likely to do so.

But it's their own dam. That power supply is not going to come back, and the stretch of the river below it is now unavailable for amphibious ops for the foreseeable future. The only reason I can imagine is if they want to do a river crossing upstream of the dam, but that goes right into the most heavily fortified area of the line and is still an amphibious operation regardless.
From wikipedia
Turns out we are normalizing the destruction of dams and nuclear meltdowns in periods of war.
