They probably don't have spare and the logistic is messed up big time for Ukraine forces... so they are leaving them behind in big number. The launcher have been given like candy...so they don't give a ****.
The War in the Ukraine

A little about the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson-Nikolaev direction. A video message from the soldiers of the 18th marine battalion of the 35th brigade, stationed near the village Bereznegovatoe, Mykolaiv region, appeared on social networks.
Ukrainian marines refused to follow the orders of the command due to heavy losses
Soldiers of the separate 18th Marine Battalion as part of the 35th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recorded a video message to the command refusing to follow orders that lead to losses among personnel. The footage was published in the telegram channel by the former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Ilya Kiva.
The soldiers are asking society to influence the top leadership of the battalion and brigade "for their criminal orders", to convince the command to withdraw the remnants of the battalion from the front. According to the military, they are given the task of attacking the enemy under artillery fire.
“We are suffering heavy losses in the dead and wounded. Over the past four days, according to our doctors, 80 people, and according to our data, there are much more killed and wounded, there are also missing and captured,” the Marines said.
The fighters also noted that in the four days of the offensive they could not capture a single settlement. At the same time, the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not refuse to defend their country, but they demand a different leadership that "values the life of the patriots of Ukraine."
Earlier, the military of the 3rd Battalion of the 115th Brigade also refused to carry out combat orders, including from Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, to maintain its position in Severodonetsk. They are dissatisfied with the lack of heavy equipment that could cover them. They were later sent to pre-trial detention.

These articles are referring to ATACMS munitions with a range of 300km. But the HIMARS with A31A1 precision guided munition and a range of over 70km (said to be 84km) has been confirmed. This is a far superior system to Ukraines existing systems. It has over twice the range of the much vaunted M777 howitzer which was the latest and greatest only a couple weeks ago.@gadgetcool5 bro do you smoke, I have a good quality Hopium and Copium for you, satisfaction guarantee.

Snake island is small enough to be saturated by dumb fire, no need for precision strikes. The only thing Russian can do is to hunt them down with air power/drones....
If only the thrust from Belarus was a thing, they don't even need to take Kviv, just close enough to base drones and artillery, they could have shut down western aid entirely
I can’t imagine the Ukrainian grouping in Donbas being able to handle 30-45 more days of this. Things are starting to crack. Mentally it must be draining going through this. The French Army went through the same thing during Verdun. What saved them was the Somme Offensive by the British. I don’t see a similar Somme Offensive saving the UAF in Donbas. They are getting annihilated.
Whoever approved of this offensive should be fired. It didn’t make no sense to send these men into open terrain with with no air cover to get destroyed by Russian artillery and aerial assets. I’m pro Russian but it’s disgusting to see Kiev willing throw the lives of these men for likes and retweets on Twitter. As someone earlier pointed out Ukraine has numerical manpower superiority over the Russians in the Kherson/Nicolaev region. But Russia has the numerical superiority in armored vehicles and artillery. Air superiority is the cherry on top. So with that it was brainless to do an offensive. What Ukraine should do with their manpower advantage is turn Nicolaev into a fortress to slow down any future Russian offensive to Odessa. Instead they are falling for Russian bait to launch offensives to annihilate them. Ukraine’s military and political leadership is brainless like Austria Hungary in world war 1.
This place is north of Davydiv Brid? Curious as to what's happening here. Suriyak doesn't show any movement on his map yet.

Please keep this thread civil and refrain from these type of comments.
I heard that a Ukrainian officer reportedly said that the Russians were firing 1500 shells per day and that quite a few of those troops are experiencing shell shock. Something along the lines of how they are walking is similar to ww1 shell shock victims. Now IDK if it’s true.
