The War in the Ukraine

I actually think that the resupply of munition is very strategically significant. It frees up Russian labor for producing more sophisticated conventional weapons. There is also rumor that NK will supply long range MLRS and ballistic missiles, a potential game changer.

Are we still continuing the narrative that Ukraine is somehow achieving these escalatory attacks on their own?


You can quite literally, track western reconnaissance at the timing of these attacks.

Who is giving you the impression that folks believe Ukraine is receiving no ISR help from US? From the start of the war US made it no secret about flying ISR aircraft near the war or sharing SAT images.

Firefight in night vision. You see all sorts of projectiles being thrown at each other flying through the air. Then Grads and Solntsepek rockets hit Ukrainian positions in Rabotino.


Zaporozhye front lines have turned into FPV drone hell. Russian MoD releases video of compiled FPV drone attacks on Ukrainian dugouts, field depots and various vehicles.


AFU Grad running away in shoot and scoot gets smacked by a Lancet-3. I get the impression that the Soviet made transporter is still as tough as nails and managed to survive but the vehicle had to stop from damage.


Russian automatic mortars in action. These are devastating against infantry and light vehicles as they shoot mortars like machine guns, putting a large amount of ordnance in a very short time.


TOS-1A Solntsepek used on Ukrainian positions.


Destroyed AFU vehicles. Two BMP-2, BMP-1, BTR-4E, and MaxxPro.


Lancet takes out AN/TPQ-48 counter battery radar in the Kupyansk direction.


Another Kh-38 used on a Ukrainian deployment point in the Kherson region.


FPV drone attacks by Beaver against a Bradley and another AFU vehicle.


Transportation facilities in the Odessa region hit by drones or missiles.


Missile hits being reported in the Kharkhiv region.


Ex-Wagnerians fighting with the DPR 1st and 2nd Army Corps in Klescheevka sends thanks to civilian donations of equipment.


Ukrainian assault at Verbove gets covered by artillery and MLRS fire by the 247th Cossacks Airborne Regiment. Also from the same unit, Ukrainians going through the forest line gets bombarded.


Ukrainian positions being hit by artillery in the Klescheevka direction by the 4th Brigade using night vision.


Ukrainian assault at Berkhovka which was used as a promo when filmed at the start but the final end was a bad result for the Ukrainians.


AFU Kraz ammo supply truck hit by ATGM.

Footage of an attack by two Ukrainian FPV drones on a Russian T-72B3 tank, this is a modernization of the tank created in 2011. FPV drones were equipped with warheads from RKG-3EM hand-held cumulative grenades; the RKG-3EM series grenade is capable of penetrating up to 220 mm of armor. RKG-3 grenades were actively used in the Soviet army before the advent of the RG-18 grenade launcher. Reportedly, this attack occurred in the Krasnolimansky direction, where two tanks stormed a stronghold of the Ukrainian army; for an unknown reason, the grenades mounted on the drones did not work. The video has been shortened.

Tbf attacking Russian naval assets do have a effect on the war, since they are launching cruise missiles off some of the struck ships. It will force Russia to utilise it's airforce more and increase wear and tear on airframes, there have already been a few non-combat related crashes of various Russian aircraft so far due to increased tempo.

The problem is that since the initial salvos, Russia never launched enough to properly use its Black Sea VLS capacity - naval LACM production comprises only 1 of 4 main types in use. (25%) Basically, production capacity is nowhere near straining launch and reload capability.

To stop this, it will require literally sinking BSF to a ship, and even then - making a coastal UVLS stand in Crimea probably won't take much brains or time.

A video of the use of the FAB-500M62 air bomb by Russian aviation has been published. A FAB-500 gliding bomb was struck by a temporary station for the Ukrainian army in Berislav.

Rough estimation of Russian casualties based on Russian own data.

There is a direct contradiction between your comment and the tweet you posted. You state that the casualty estimates are based on "Russian own data" but Russia did not provide any data. If you bothered to inspect the propaganda you are posting more closely, you would notice that the source for the data in question is literally the General Staff of Ukraine lmao.

This article seems a fair and frank assessment of what’s happening on the ground. I wonder how much the situation would change once F-16s are in the mix.

None, because the West's main goal is to keep Ukraine alive barely and use Ukraine as a way to drain Russia. Maybe once the west MIC is done with profiteering, they may consider a half-asses cease-fire.

I think NK may see a sudden economic boom, building munitions for Russia.
