Poland sending 200 more IFVs to finish equipping another Ukrainian mech brigade.

"The Wolverine is a good choice for the high-tech 21st Brigade. It's fast, with a top speed of 60 miles per hour thanks to its 500-horsepower diesel engine. And its 30-millimeter autocannonthe same gun that arms the U.S. Army's Europe-based Stryker wheeled fighting vehiclesis a killer."

Quintuple HIMARS hit on Orc formations training out in the open on beaches.....Smile You're on Candid Camera

https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/15g558y/ukrainian_himars_strike_takes_out_200_russian/



quote from the article: "Kyiv did not officially confirm it was behind the strike but a Ukrainian official speaking on condition of anonymity, told Kyiv Post: "It's a really funny situation there. They stood in the open air for two hours listening to the speech.

"That is enough time to fix them, transport the HIMARS, enter the coordinates and hit them."

At least the sharks in that area are going to eat well.

Ukraine supposedly changes tactics, or is it just an acknowledgment of the attrition approach it's been doing all along?

HIMARS are just disgusting weapons. The Russians don't seem to have anything to match it.

Unsure why tweets 2&3 won't embed but the links still connect to the tweets.

Time: How the Ukraine Counteroffensive Can Still Succeed

Quote:
There is one thing the West must not do. It must not lose sight of the importance of helping Ukraine liberate the strategically vital terrain in the south on which the counteroffensive is now focused. This is not a matter of altruism. Europe and the U.S. need this war to end in a way that reduces as much as possible the likelihood that the Russians will launch a new war of vengeance and conquest some years hence. The positions the Russians now hold in the south are far more advantageous militarily and economically than those they held before the 2022 invasion. They will make the prospect of reversing Russia's embarrassments through a new invasion far more enticing. They will also badly complicated Ukraine's efforts to prepare to defend against such an attack. They cripple Ukraine's economy by severing it from access to international trade through the Black Sea and depriving it of the mineral wealth in the east that had been one of its major economic engines, as well as large areas of agricultural land. It matters to Ukraine and to the West where the lines are drawn when the fighting stopsand both Western and Ukrainian interests are badly harmed by allowing the lines to remain where they are.

......just as importantly, Russia keeping the south badly outflanks much of Ukraine's strategic depth and interior lines.

Both are essential for Kiev to continue to handle the size and resources mismatch between the two.

The full article is excellent, btw, I suggest people take the time to read it through.

Russia is on the verge of collapse. The ruble is now worth barely more than a penny ---- down from 17 cents less than a year ago.

I just hope Putin goes peacefully.

No, it's at 1.1 cents, down from 1.7 cents. It was around 1.4-1.5 cents prewar. Still pretty bad, but not an order of magnitude collapse either.

ETA It's down from around 3 cents circa mid 2014.

Soooo… The ruble (0.011 USD) is worth less than the peso (0.057 USD). Tell me more about that robust Russian economy.

Been a busy day, so I didn't have a chance to post this. Reported about 13 hours ago on LiveUAMap:

Destroying the Russian supply dumps is key to withering their ability to defend.

Bilohorivka has been holding pretty steady for quite a while. Hopefully they can root the Russians back out of these positions.

This is on the Russian-occupied side, a bit west of Nova Kakhovka.

Not a single shot fired at the UAV upon approach!

It would have been great if they travelled in pairs and hit the starboard side as it started listing to port.

That boat is out of action for while.

RuZZia really sucks at war!

She's not sunk, but she's definitely hurt. They're lucky it happened so close to port.

I don't think anyone's Navy is really set up for this type of threat. I'm betting Taiwan is looking at this right now and putting a fab together.

If it's listing to port, you want to continue hitting the port side to try to get it to roll over. If you hit the opposite side you potentially equalize the buoyancy and increase roll stability. I imagine that one of the hardest decisions a commander has to make is when to abandon pumping and deliberately start flooding compartments to maintain stability.
