Seems several missiles violated Moldova's air space on the way to strike targets in western Ukraine

Watch the narrative change from "GNSS guided MLRS like HIMARS are gamechangers and will stop the Russians" to "nah, they arent that great and won't stop Ukraine " if used by the Belarusians.
Putin is giving a speech right now, claims the SBU has tried to attack Kursk NPP three times already and also tried to sabotage the Turkish Stream pipeline.
There are claims that during the speech, a new wave of missiles were launched
What major "new ground offensive" you're writing about? Ukrainian forces never left the border with Belarus. Do you even know how many troops Belarus has and how's the morale there?
One possible theory is that Russia was simply using a lot of its "flex" missile inventory before, now that it has basically given up directly confronting NATO it is able to dip into its WW3 stockpile for munitions, hence we actually see missile numbers that makes sense.
Well, there are differences between Polonez-M and Himars, mainly that the former has 4 times the range. But at least the PHL16 at max 500km is not that accurate, with a CEP of 30m. It's possible that the Polonez-M at 290km is not pin point accurate either, meaning it cannot hit moving targets, only stationary depots and the like.
I'm sure you totally know and you will be able to "edumacate" us on how Zelensky managed to do a "multiplication of loaves and fish" on Ukranian troops, managing to mount offensives on the east and south without pulling troops of everywhere else, to even replace the losses
I think HIMARS can't really hit moving targets either.
It is why they are developing the PrSM for them.
Ukraine claims to have shot down +50% of the missiles fired and most of the Geran 2 drones.

Latest from Kadyrov, he's satisfied now.
I thought it was a fair cop that Russians calling attack on Kerch Bridge a "terrorist attack" was indeed loser talk since all is fair in love and war. Similarly I think Kiev calling these attacks terror attack is also loser talk.
Sergey ‘Cannibal’ Surovikin. The new commander of the SMO. Known as a ruthless general.
What does it actually change on the battlefield? Assume all major power stations are shut down by the start of winter and there'll be very limited heating and electricity available in private homes. More people will flee to the EU and the little Ukrainian industry that's left will produce less. As most weapons are delivered from the west, the effect on industrial production won't matter much and people leaving will reduce energy demand. At the same time, the army will still have enough emergency supplies like diesel generators and they won't surrender just because they're cold. Destroying power stations won't stop trucks from transporting new weapons to the frontlines. Destroying the water infrastructure will mean more disease in civilians, but will have little effect on the army. The biggest impact might be on Ukraine's grain production which will presumably drop considerably next year, but that won't make it any easier to conquer territory.
