WTF is up with those ranges? 1592 kilometers certainly doesn't equal 9.357 miles. The kilometers is obviously way too high, and 9.4 miles seems way too low, and has an extra decimal in the number. Am I missing something or reading what they are trying to say wrong?JFABNRGR said:Mix a few of these up and down the trenches and it won't matter.

From everything I've heard about how dug in Russian defensive lines are, count me a skeptical that this is accurate that AFU are actually trying to capture the flag right now. I would be absolutely delighted if it's accurate though!

They don't understand yet.Quote:
that's going to become a one-sided video game of epic proportions for the Ukrainian artillery. Drop a few artillery beacons in there and let her rip.
Got it. That makes way more sense.GAC06 said:

FWIW the Ukrainian territorial gains from the Kherson counteroffensive have now been reduced to 0. At least in the South RU command knows what they're doing.

Has it been confirmed that the soft-target ordinance has already made it to Ukraine?

#Ukraine: Ukraine received new rockets for HIMARS/M270- here we can see a pod of M30A1 guided rockets.

M30A1 differs from previously seen M31A1/A2 by an alternative warhead with 182000 preformed spheroid steel/tungsten fragments and is designed to be used against soft targets. pic.twitter.com/iAUkjPuaEn
Kyiv. Sirens. The explosions have already been heard in the Kyiv region.

The latest reports from Russian units in Kherson do not suggest a withdrawal. These units are trapped and are being decimated as the Ukrainians advance. Other reports talk of having nowhere to run with bridges blown. They are not hiding the collapse, the sense of panic is real. pic.twitter.com/hDfKihPVPA

Locals constantly heard screams from the Russian torture/death camp. At this time, police can state with certainty that Ukrainians were buried alive, & suffocated to death by smoke inhalation after being forced to wear gas masks stuffed with burning rags.https://t.co/RxUiLwItWT

One of the reasons Russians had to revert to social media to request air support and aid was that Ukraine is said to be employing Electronic Warfare and jamming equipment in the Kherson region. They can`t get in touch via radios #Ukraine #Russia #Putin #Putinswar #RussianArmy pic.twitter.com/SVWTKryqcO

so the joke here is that these vehicles are being fitted with explosive-reactive armor that is meant for tanks and other heavier vehicles https://t.co/LayP9rKB1P

Agree with the hangings. But first, pull out some of their teeth as well.Red Pear Realty said:
Box full of teeth recovered from a Russian torture chamber outside of Kharkiv. If true/real, this is grounds for some hangings after this is all over.
Meanwhile on Russian state TV: grim predictions that Russia is at least two months away from even attempting to advance. Also, some surprising admissions about how unprepared they were and the magnitude of the losses they've experienced in Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/VXL05R7JpN
