However it also underlines something Moscow has refused to overtly admit since the war began, and tacitly admitted once Putin declared mobilization: The Russian Army has a critical manpower shortage.

Over the past 24 hours, 🇷🇺 forces have launched at least three missiles and 24 airstrikes and shelled over 15 settlements using multiple rocket launchers. Among the targeted areas were Mykolaiv; Nova Kamianka and Mala Seideminukha in Kherson Oblast and Kharkiv's Oblast Hatyshche.

The strike deliberately targeted the [Dnieper] right bank and the pontoon crossing on it, used to transport civilians. There were no military servicemen on the crossing - only civilians.

There were children among the casualties.
We are told workshop 12 was hit, where components of Neptun anti-ship complexes were being assembled. There were 18 missiles inside the workshop that were planned to be sent to the Motor-Sich plant in Zaporizhia to be equipped with a warhead.

Two missile strikes completely destroyed the western wing of the workshop: only the walls remained and the interior rooms were demolished.

First specifics of the deal that I've read. "Reportedly, Russia traded more than 60 Su-35 to Iran in exchange for several thousand drones that they are now using to terrorize Ukrainian civilians and disabling elements of Ukrainian critical infrastructure."
EXPORTS
so out of the small stock of advanced Russian attack jets, they gave several squadrons to the Iranians and no one has commented on this yet?!
on a purely tactical level, 60 SU-35s can wreak a whole lot more damage than these small Iranian drones can.
do any Russians explain how prolonging a war actually helps Russia rearm, sell oil and gas, get rid of sanctions, end the destruction of their military equipment, puts conscripts back into the work force, and ends the deaths of Russians?sclaff said:
Another good thread by Mick Ryan, outlining latest Russian general Surovikin's upcoming strategy.
More realistic - pull back, consolidate positions, lengthen war, wait for the West to lose interest.
Unrealistic - belief Ukraine's will to fight can be broken by air bombardment.In the last few days, an interview given by the new Russian commander in #Ukraine, General Sergei Surovikin, was reported in the media.

That simply isn't going to happen. The isolationist wackos may be yelling the loudest, but there is no way we are pulling out. We are getting an incredible return on our investment in Ukraine. So far, around $15 billion, no American lives lost, and a dictator being crippled. And in case you haven't figured it out yet, Russia, not the US, will determine how long this war lasts. As for Ukraine, they will fight to the last babushka and stray cat.sclaff said:I suspect Russia has rationalized that the West (US) will bail after the next Congress is seated.
