The War in the Ukraine

So simply a case of bad luck then it seems like. Interesting choice to put a RnD office right next to a powerplant.
Edit to avoid double posting:
One of the missiles got shot down using a IGLA impressively.
Woah how many power plants did they blew up in one morning
Ok, but diesel engines can be supplied from the EU or replaced with trucks on roads. As more of the civilian population leaves, less infrastructure is needed and more trucks that previously supplied civilian warehouses can now carry ammunition. I do believe it's a good idea to destroy this type of infrastructure, at least it will remind countries like Georgia that even if they win on the battlefield, their country will end up devastated. But it's not going to stop the Ukrainians from fighting
Why are you posting here some random tweets with agenda coming from completely anonymous and unverified users? Let's keep those worthless "sources" out of here maybe.
But you need to start deviating resources to cope, because now the diesel for the tanks, IFV, technicals and MRAPs needs to be shared with diesel for trains and power plants, which adds another layer of complexity as internal fighting develops.
There were articles talking about how units would have to squable over donated equipment, with units at the front not getting any of it, while others at the rear would hoard it. Now you have to add fuel to this.
You also have to deviate logistical resources to set up fuel depots for the trains where they might have not been any, plus distribution points. Specially as many depots have already been lost to missile strikes since the start of the war
Also, depending how long the outage lasts and how much further damage the Russians cause, there is no way 300 diesel trains can pick up the slack of 1600 electrical ones

Well anyone that thinks Ukraine taking some territory from Russia equals to Russia losing the war, might be drunk on some strong Vodka. This is what happens when Russia starts to up the ante even a little. I wonder if Zelensky has some rope available……
Civilian population cannot leave. Men in age group of 18-65 are banned from leaving Ukraine. Loopholes that were used to get away, getting shutdown.
And it does seem like they plan to do the same for women that are fit for service (they create a massive list of jobs that fit criteria), too.
Strikes on logistics mean less supplies for frontline. Cause instead of 4 trains for transportation, you now have just 1. And this 1 would require supply of same fuel that you use for your military.
It is too early. 300k(or more) of mobilized are still in training and forming new units. I suppose offensive would start in November or even December.
I had seen reports of 11 power plants being targeted. Basically all large power plants of Ukraine that are still controlled by Ukrainian side except hydro and nuclear.
