  1. Capturing Mykolaivka means UKR has pushed all the way to the Dnipro River, east of Kherson, and control any westbound traffic over the Kakhovka Dam. Now if they can blow up both the road and rail bridge over the Dnipro into Kherson the RU troops there are cut off from land resupply at the least and possibly lose the ability to retreat.
  2. EDIT- I totally screw up the formatting.
  3. There is a RU dissent that has predicted those penal colonies will be the next ‘Stans to breakaway. His premise is you can’t congregate that many people that already hate you together and not have them revolt at first opportunity.
  4. Almost all of the former Warsaw pact countries are on the top rope with a folding chair waiting to get tagged in. No hearts and minds in Soviet doctrine.
  5. Oddly enough it is being reported that Poland acquired a number of such systems in the last few days. How long is training for these?
  6. Reread it. It was USA takes 5 minutes, unless ROE slows it down, and Ukraine less than a minute. But, yes he started dribbling his far rightwing politics into his threads a a few weeks ago.
  7. Most likely just trying to hold the line and attrite RU forces until all the newly enlisted UA forces having actual training, and all the West's heavy weapons arrive, before a counterattack. Reports around the net that RU is now pulling T-62s out of storage. Speculation for that is RU has lost every tank in the original commitment force. At present loss rates RU will burn through those 250 T-62 in 6-8 weeks.
  8. Reports this morning of another failed RU bridging attempt with lots of destroyed RU equipment.
  9. 75% of RU tanks in the 10K tank reserve are over 50 years old and only 1 in 10 are operational.
  10. HIMARS? Logistics trucks? Showing off to RU and China that we can do way more than the fastest airlift of heavy arms ever? All of those?
  11. The flip side to this is how many hand me down MIGs, and associated weapons, are out there? Yes, sending F platform planes to countries already transitioning to that platform and thus allowing those countries to send the MIGs onto UKR is the quickest way to improve UKR airpower presently but in the long run UKR has to transition to the F platform as they will not be getting any new MIGs from RU. The sooner that process starts the better.
  12. This. Plus, it is easier to sell being defeated by the evil west’s technology instead of ‘little brother’ kicking their ass on the battlefield
  13. I think it is a prisoners for wounded swap.
  14. WWE MC or a Televangelist.
  15. Ukraine is going to have billion$ pumped into the economy via a Marshall Plan type aid for the rebuilding. Russia? Not so much.
  16. Just get it to your contacts in Poland and they will make sure it goes to good use.
  17. What are they firing at? Wasn't it an artillery/drone attack?
  18. Poland on being threaten has so many meme/gif possibilities. https://c.tenor.com/C55U_Sm_T-gAAAAC/masato-tanaka-mike-awesome.gif
  19. Driving north on 1-30 in Arkansas. Shit ton of combat bridging stuff headed south. Is Barksdale the closest AFB to Hot Springs?
  20. Apparently, if they can get missile systems there they deny all of the NW Black Sea.
  21. There is a reservoir on the North side of that blank area. But, yeah come around the East end of the reservoir and cut the road to Kherson is likely on leadership's whiteboard.
