That last one deserves a bit more mention. From the article:

Quote

 

Konstantin Kosachev, the deputy speaker of Russia’s Federation Council, and Irina Yarovaya, deputy chair of the State Duma, touted what they described as bombshell findings from the “investigation.”

Testing of Ukrainian POWs’ blood, they claimed, uncovered “a range of diseases” that suggest they were secretly experimented on “for military purposes.”

“And we see: the cruelty and barbarity with which the military personnel of Ukraine behave, the crimes that they commit against the civilian population, those monstrous crimes that they commit against prisoners of war, confirm that this system for the control and creation of a cruel murder machine was implemented under the management of the United States,” Yarovaya was quoted telling reporters.

“And those performance enhancing drugs that they are still given in order to completely neutralize the last traces of human consciousness and turn them into the most cruel and deadly monsters also confirm this,” she claimed.

Bizarrely, she also claimed that the presence of Hepatitis A antibodies in Ukrainian prisoners’ blood was proof of an American biolabs conspiracy, since a former health minister for Ukraine was a dual Ukrainian-American citizen who had worked to acquire drugs for the treatment of hepatitis in the country.

“It is quite possible that this was about testing these drugs on military personnel,” Yarovaya said.

There's more but just put the first 3 posts here.

The rest is about the Russians' inability to counter GMLRS volleys as they lack something like Israel's Iron Dome or our CIWS. Their version on the Mosvka and on Snake Island failed, so they don't have the capability to create a land-based version to counter GMLRS fire from HIMARS or M270s.

They are doing a denial attack that means people can still use it but not tanks and heavier armored vehicles while still keeping it whole so when that inevitable Ukrainian counter attack happens they can capture and hold the bridge and use it to reinforce over the river.

They have in essence shown the RU that they can destroy the bridge at any time and are daring them to either try to repair it or blow it up and pretty much completely strand 7 BTGs on the other side of the river. The only other close crossing is a rail bridge and I would guess that is coming next.

That's some serious precision, to make a bridge incapable of carrying just heavy stuff.  I'll allow jt.

Could be the first use of HIMARS against a bridge in combat.  I don’t even know if they’ve used MLRS like that (which shares ammo with it), since a lot of what the US did in terms of infrastructure in the two Gulf Wars was aircraft or cruise missile. 

Could very well be testing the waters and/or hoping the Russians try to repair it and then take out the equipment and engineers (which are hard to replace in Russia at this point).

This will not end well.

From VICE: Someone in Russia appears to be firing a gun from the back of a robot dog.

Quote

 

The robot’s feet, various ports, and its front are completely different from Boston Dynamics’ Spot. There’s dozens of knock offs of the Boston Dynamics dog selling on the international market. The one in the video appears to be a UnitreeYusu “technology dog” selling on AliExpress for about $3,000. The feet, port placement, and joint coverings are all the same.

The robot also has strips of Velcro on either of its flanks. The left flank bears a Russian flag and the other appears with a wolf’s head. In another video on the channel, a man wears a similar patch on his arm. It appears to be a wolf’s head insignia commonly associated with Russian Special Operations Forces or Spetsnaz. That doesn’t mean that Spetsnaz is using armed robot dogs, as pretty much anyone can buy a similar patch online in various places.

The gun is also Russian. It appears to be a PP-19 Vityaz, a submachine gun based on the AK-74 design. As the dog wanders around and fires, it sometimes moves in front of an armored personnel carrier with a unique triangular door. That’s a BDRM-2, a Russian armored car that’s been spotted recently in Ukraine.

Finally, there’s the account the video originally appeared on. Before making its way to Twitter, the video of the dog was posted to the YouTube account of Alexander Atamov on March 22, 2022. Atamov is listed on his LinkedIn profile as the founder of “HOVERSURF” and his Facebook page lists him as living in Moscow. He posted a picture of the robot dog on March 21. According to Facebook’s translation of his post, he called the dog “Skynet.”

You should go through that twitter thread… you can literally see the exact pattern the pod hit in. All pretty much perfectly equidistant.

 

That level of precision is the real denial of the bridge. The RU knows or at least has to assume that bridge is now 100% under surveillance with the possibility of instant fire when anyone tries to repair or cross the bridge. Knowing the bridge is off limits to them for s now just a fact of life that they have to accept. What is scarier is that what that access point now denied, there is only one rail bridge that provides access to the BTGs over the river. Supplying for an advance, bringing in more troops, rotating men and equipment out, even retreating the armor out of that pocket, all have to go over that one rail bridge. 
 

So the real question is does the Ukrainian army now destroy the bridge, just wait and destroy the track in another denial bid, or use it as a trap to cause congestion at that  choke point and then target the trains themselves… 

 

We haven’t gotten into the discussion of locomotives being high value targets yet, but with the RU dependence on rail to bring everything as close to the front as possible because their wheeled and track logistical options suck, the engines are a huge constraint. Start hitting trains full of armor on the track that are not moving do to the bridge congestion and you now have a hug kill box of stationary targets…

At this point we don’t do shit there and give more weapons to Ukraine and monitor their equipment and capabilities. 
russia wants us engaged with Iran, they would love nothing more then that 

It would be better to dangle a carrot at them for some economic relieve If they sit this out.

This.  The rolling stock is always the priority.  Track is easy to repair.  Bridges can be rebuilt with more difficulty, but still not too hard to repair or replace.  But rolling stock, especially locomotives, take time and resources to rebuild and get to where they are needed.  Replacing stock also competes directly with replacing armor and transport trucks for resources.  Set up a choke point at the bridge, shut it down with a missile strike, then rain missiles and artillery on the backed up trains and the personnel trying to unfuck the situation.

Russian thinking is entirely different.   

they will either keep selling the shit products to make as much money as possible with the back-thought that if and when the government comes for them, they will just bribe the government with all the money they made in the last year or 2 and get away without much more of penalty. 

Or they will just blame it on an underling or a supplier and pay a fine. 

shit works different there man.

I realize the fake Kevin Bacon has a blue checkmark next to his name, but unless that number represents the first 2 months of the invasion, and he left it out of his "context", there is no fucking way the CIA thinks only 15,000 Russians were killed.    

almost 500 alone were killed when the Moscow sunk.   and Ukraine recovered something like 8,000 Russian soldiers bodies left behind when the assault against Kyiv fell on its ass.

as Mark Hertling has pointed out, every single Russian tank that is "moving and in action", when it blows up, because of the Russian design, 3 out 4 Russians in the tank are guaranteed dead. and unlike the APC's where Russia might only have 3-6 soldiers in each one (despite most holding up to 14), the ONLY position in a tank that can be left absent would be the loader.  you need a driver, gunner, loader and commander (in an emergency the 3 non-drivers could do each others job).    so that means every tank we see being driven and blowing up takes out 3 Russians for sure and the 4th also dies in every other blast..

Rumors on the planes is the USAF is the driving force behind it to show planes still have a role in close combat support to keep those dollars from going to the Army for drones and GMLS in that role.

Agree with your sentiments on casualty numbers. They may not be including L/DNR or PMCs?

Russian tanks use autoloader, only 3 crew. Autoloader is responsible for the jack in the box turret with the carousel being open inside the tank and no blow out panels.

The USAF wants to divest the A-10 fleet but it has always run into other issues along the way in D.C. The Army is in favor of keeping them but they don't have to fund the NGAD. I love the A-10s but we learned a lot in Afghanistan about CAS and how other airframes can support that need.

Combined with the re-winging cost and parts scarcity the A-10 is expensive to fly regarding 4th gen fighters.
