How has this map changed in the last 4 months? A quick glance looks like it's looked for several months.
In the East, the Ukrainians have gained a lot of ground -- the blue area is quite large -- but the great significance of this is that they are now in position to cut key Russian lines of communications, or already have done so. The Russians have a hard time moving anything except by rail, so if you take out their rail lines, they become an immobile, ill supplied target. They have also stopped the Russians short of the area where Ukraine's large (and up to now, untapped) shale gas fields are located, which was a prime target for Putin.

In the South, the Russians have a large force on the right (North) bank of the Dnipro River around Kherson. There are only two permanent bridges across the Dnipro in this region--one just east of Kherson and other other over the hydroelectric dam about 30 miles upriver, both of which have been damaged (the hydroelectric dam is apparently passable for civilians but not heavy equipment). The Ukrainians are now about 15 miles away from the hydroelectric dam. If they cut off that bridge for the Russians, and get to the other side, they can cut off the canal that runs through the Isthmus of Perekop down into Crimea, almost all the way to the Kerch Straight. This canal is evidently a crucial water supply for Crimea; without it, most of Crimea (it's mostly farmland until you get way down to the south) really isn't viable, as the Russians found when they occupied the peninsula in 2014 (and the Ukrainians dammed the canal).
One more thing I wanted to add just to give perspective: Someone pointed out that Ukraine is about the same size as Texas. In fact, if you overlay Texas on Ukraine, it's pretty similar in shape, just with the Panhandle lopped off, and a chunk of SE New Mexico taking its place. The blue area in the east is a triangle that is about 100 miles on 2 sides, and 150 on the third. That would be like taking a chunk of East Texas, out of the NE corner, that runs from Paris, to Texarkana, to Center, and back to Paris, just to give you some perspective.

Someone posted pic of Texas over Ukraine a few pages back. Pretty interesting to see.

Hang some fishing line from the bottom of your drone and fly right over the top of the other drone. It will tangle in the rotor and crash them. I guess you would need a release mechanism or something so that it doesn't pull you down also
kind of a reverse AA WWI Blimp. You could do a tension release clip, wind isn't/shouldn't take it away, tiny weight at the bottom to keep the line below you.

I like where you are going with that.

All you have to do is get a small net and fire it at the other drone. You will foul the rotars and down it goes.

THere are those contraptions that fire a weighted net to bring down a running man.

Average citizen Ivan asks "But I thought this WAS Russian soil. Did we not annex it???"

Page two of the intake form on the International Legion Website.

Quote:
"You are here to begin the validation process to gauge your suitability and preparedness to participate in the Ukrainian-russian war in the International Legion. First of all, Ukraine is fighting against the world's second strongest army which carries tons of equipment, machinery and people. It's not a low-grade war, it is an extremely active high-intensity battlefield with thousands units of artillery, missiles, close battles, civilians rescue missions and various types of possible missions. Every day more than a thousand people die on both sides.

Secondly, which is even more important - our enemy is a pure evil - russians don't respect any rules and laws. This war displays multiple evidences of internationally acclaimed rules of warfare violation. The conflict is reported and witnessed to be of the highest levels of cruelty with pervasive wartime atrocities. Putting it simply - it is hell on Earth.

This is not a place for a military tourism or an opportunity to gain extra skills - we don't have time to train people that are not ready. If you're not ready - each day could be your last day out there.

There're many sad stories about foreign legionnaires being totally unprepared for Ukrainian warfare reality coming to Ukraine just to find out that they are not ready before they quit. In order to avoid their mistake, when filling the application please be as honest as possible.

Are you ready to face and participate in real warfare?

Are you ready to sit hours under artillery attacks?

Are you ready to wage war in the absence of the most modern weaponry, using only those at hand?

Are you ready to be taken captive with a very high chance of tortures and abuse? It is proven that russians do torture prisoners of war despite the international human laws.

Are you ready to sleep in the dug-out shelters, under sub-zero temperatures, without shower and habitual food, surrounded by an enemy, fighting one-on-one for you life?

If the Ukrainian war reality is not as in Hollywood movies - are you ready to stay and don't run away after one week?"

sounds like a lot of fun.

have to give kudos to being brutally honest with what awaits the volunteers.

no doubt the Ukes are more honest about reality than the Russkies

You aren't looking very hard if you think things look the same as they did 4 months ago.


If you follow this stuff everyday then the changes look fairly obvious, however I can definitely see how someone who only checks in on the war at several points in the year might think that.

Generally speaking, Russia still dominates most of the areas it did in June, only eastern Kharkiv and the most Northern area of Donetsk have the Ukrainians successfully liberated. Ukraine has a long way to go.
that's not correct

Ukrainians have liberated thousands of square miles north of Kharkiv, east of kharkiv, in the center zone leading to Lysychansk, and in the Kherson kessel.

This is the proper response. We're not launching strategic nuclear weapons because of the use of tactical nukes in Ukraine. We will annihilate every identifiable Russian military asset within the borders of Ukraine using conventional weapons, however. We means the United States and NATO.

This is a really big fat bright red line that the west has drawn. I assume it isn't a bluff.

It would be a shame if HIMARS air burst cluster munitions blanketed the airport.
