so judging by the recent news it appears the Ukrainians have begun to do what i said they should do, cut Russians off in kherson by blowing up the bridges. makes sense to go that route since they have effective long range fire.
For the past few days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been working hard to iron the Alexander Bridge that crosses the Dnieper River. If it is deactivated, then only the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station dam will remain to supply the Kherson group of the Russian Federation.
I wonder if an alternative with barges and two or three berths on each side is being considered.
Or there will be another "gesture of good will".

well for russia's part it can also destroy all the bridges that ukraine currently holds, back in march i used to say that that's what it would/should do. i guess we will see now it is finally being considered. cutting off the bridges has more potential gain for russia than ukraine.

I feel like peoples getting used to total air superiority in modern war because in the past 20 years, US and NATO are only pick a fight with the enemy that have no mean to shoot back.

They did manage to lose an F-117 in 1998, and they are still feeling the effects of that loss today

After the destruction of the warehouses they now go for the AA defenses

So Russia ran out of warehouses just like they ran out of missiles back in March.

Lavrov just announced that the delivery of long range systems to Ukraine means the objectives of the "special operation" will expand deeper into Ukraine and beyond the LPR and DNR.

In March they did not do so because they planned to continue advancing into Ukrainian territory... That today they are considering blowing up the bridges to prevent the Ukrainian advance, supposes a defensive action to prevent the enemy from advancing towards their positions, which would be the opposite of the claims of March or at the beginning of the invasion

It is estimated that the bridge needs urgent repairs and needs to be closed for repair work, this complicates the logistics of the Russian occupants in the city... In the face of an eventual offensive or heavy artillery attacks on their positions, the Russians would be left in a cauldron

Yeah, the Russians are screwed because their troops will be stuck on the wrong side of the Dneiper unable to be reinforced while being chewed up by a massive Ukrainian counter-offensive in the Kherson region. The Ukrainians are steadily striking the area- destroying the bridge, the anti-aircraft radar, shooting down planes. Degrading Russian capabilities.

If I were Russia, I would have to annex the area pretty quickly so that an attack on the region is seen as an attack on the Russian Federation itself.

No, that is not what is being said... The Russians are vastly superior militarily, however, they are being methodically attacked by the Ukrainians who defend their country with what they can, very well.

Not only have they attacked Russian command positions in the area, but several of their ammunition stores are burning, their logistics lines and defense systems... Soften they call it

Xd!

The Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions were occupied from the beginning, the Russians flaunt "Novorussia", so their intention was always to take as much Ukrainian territory as possible (although they lack Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolev and Odessa)...

In the Russian wet dreams, they thought that the Ukrainians would not defend their country. Except for some strategic military actions, the Russian political and military performance in this invasion has been disappointing.

It truly is a disaster, one which makes the day they ran out of all their precision weapons pale in comparison.
This is a clear sign that the Russians will be unable to continue the SMO.
First Ukrainians go into war on tanks, IFVs and APCs against the Russians and are defeating the Russians with ease.
Then the Ukrainian Ghost of Kiev has killed 40++ Russian most modern jet fighters and Su-25SM versions.
After all those glory battles against the Russians they ride the the front in civilian cars, on motorcycles and bicycles.
Now the heroic Ukrainian AirForce has to count on Russians doing mistakes to "score" virtual hits against RuAF.

So with all these strategic Ukrainian victories, how is their Kherson offensive going? Have they recaptured any territory?
