Ukraine's deputy defense minister had prematurely claimed Andriivka, south of Bakhmut, was under full UA control. 3rd Assault Brigade says that's not correct yet, and that there is heavy fighting there and in Klischiivka.

Apparently, the scope of Ukraine's naval operation on the day Sevastopol was attacked was wider than previously understood.

OTHER SHIPS
TIL that Turkey prohibits the passage of Russian warships through the Bosporus Strait. So Russia's Black Sea fleet is really just that and hasn't been able to transit to deep water since March, 2022. Reading more about this, that was when Turkey invoked the 1936 Montreux Convention which allows them to restrict passages during times of war. One exception is they can't restrict passage of naval ships returning to Black Sea ports where they are registered. Apparently, however, Moscow is now circumventing this by using civilian merchant vessels to supply logistics to its military operations in Syria and Ukraine.
Related side story. New US sanctions on Turkey for playing both sides of the conflict and turning a blind eye to its own violators.

Hard to tell how much damage was actually done. Looks like the drone may have been hit just before it got there.

Russia continues to probe/test NATO members to see what it's allowed without retaliation.

At first glance you might think a war of attrition favors Russia with their endless supply of manpower but in modern warfare the side with the better long range weapons wins.

Side with bigger battleships
Side with better aircraft carriers
Side with longer range bombers
Side with longbows

Thank you to the dozen or so posters who frequently update this thread. I've followed this war from day one, and this conflict has been brutal, but fascinating to follow.

It's a crime that so much of eastern and southern Ukraine will end up looking like that "village" in order to eject the Russians.

I don't think it will be long before we see Brimstones attached to these UAVs especially if the Brits are already hanging them from a Drone. Hitting a ship with a threesome salvo would provide significant increase in actual impact of the UAV following those hits.

The weaponry R&D of the Ukes is quite impressive. Reminds something between Q in 007 or the line in Armageddon where Bruce Willis says "I am sure you have a team of men somewhere just thinking **** up"

"Mobilized people will not return home until the end of the Northern Military District, there will be no rotation - Kartapolov.

The mobilized Russians will leave the combat zone after the end of the special military operation (SVO) on the territory of Ukraine. Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrei Kartapolov stated this in a conversation with http://Lenta.ru.

"They will return home after the completion of a special military operation. No rotation is provided . They are entitled to leave for every six months of service, and they now go on these holidays," the deputy stated the return date."
