Ok people. I looked through the thread and noticed several things that are absolutely unacceptable:
1. Inflammatory language such as calling an entity a coward or implying another user is stupid
2. Personal insults
3. Useless phrases


Do not post anything that resemble the above. Us moderators have deleted many posts like them and warned everyone numerous times. If the problem continues to get worse, we have the absolute authority to ban the perpetrators from replying to this thread. So act with civility. If you disagree with someone, reply and refute in a polite manner. If that user is too stubborn, just move on and chill out.

Russians shooting down four(!) jets in a single day means that the Ukrainians are growing desperate. They are trying to forestall as much territorial advancement as possible in exchange of throwing the kitchen sink at the Russians.

This implies that once Donbass falls, further territorial advancements are likely to be much faster.

From footages seen online it doesn't seem that Ukraine is using its fixed wing airforces all that much, much more footage of helicopters lobbing rockets. I wish the Russians would upload some footage of the claimed shoot down of Ukranian jets, much more of such footage/image early on in the war.

Early in the war there was plenty of images from crashed jets, for planes crashing in Donbass it wouldn't be too difficult to locate the wreckage. Shooting down of helicopters would be more likely due to their requirements to stray within the AA umbrella. It just doesn't make much sense for Ukr to waste jets on strike missions when they have a bunch of GPS guided artillery shells that can do the job fine.

Russia should have given up Snake Island long ago. It is totally unimportant and concealment is impossible.
I think the real importance of snake island is less to do with physical missiles based there, but more to do with EW and the intel gathering aspect of things.
From the looks of it, looks like Ukraine still attempting to retake Snake Island after countless of failed attempts to raid it, what a waste of military resources which could be pivotal in keeping Donbass front at least manageable....
Meanwhile Ukrainian grain...

As for what was most likely the aim of yesterday's attack on Luhansk. Spotted a few days ago. A weapon that Russian MOD said earlier it wasn't using in this conflict. Things have changed now it seems.

With the losses caused by Precision rocket artillery, could Russia possibility use their AWACs fleet to aid in detecting, identifying and destroying incoming HIMARS shells? One would assume that a GPS guided shell will have a very different flight path compared to a unguided rocket...

Looks like Nikolaev got hit big time yesterday:
Some kind of troop concentration from that million man strong army perhaps.
