Russia has blown through its soviet inheritance and they do t have the manpower like the soviets either. Imagine all the restless “federation” members who have been held in check by force looking around and seeing these forces are a fraction of what they were.
Russian manufacturing cannot find people to work, why? They are all at the front, wounded or dead and what does Russia need. More fodder for their SMO which will increase the worker shortage and Acela’s their demographic time bomb
Putin master strategist

Ukraine bragging that they shot it down with a MANPAD.

Probably a cover story for a patriot battery.

[lodi90]

There are two Patriot batteries. One in Kyiv and one in roaming mode.

“Ukraine bragging that they shot it down with a MANPAD.”

“Probably a cover story for a patriot battery.”

Let’s keep the Russians guessing and chasing ghosts, while it happens again.

Any other good cover stories to float?

Partisans? Saboteurs back at base? New drone? Mini-sub? Sharks with lasers?

F-16 pilots, take note.

Ukraine can strike Crimea using US-made weapons, Jake Sullivan, the US national security advisor to President Joe Biden, tells CNN “We’ve said we won’t allow Ukraine to use US-made weapons to strike Russia. And we believe Crimea is Ukraine,” Sullivan said.

Anything less will encourage Russian imperialism and embolden autocrats around the world.

“To be brutal about it, we need to see masses of Russians fleeing, deserting, shooting their officers, taken captive, or dead. The Russian defeat must be an unmistakably big, bloody shambles. In other words, not an elegant ceasefire, writes @EliotACohen.”

There are two Patriot batteries. One in Kyiv and one in roaming mode.

It makes sense to have one of the Patriot batteries in "Roaming Mode".

That way, UKR could position the battery well behind the FEBA, but close enough to support the counter-offensive.

Since the counter-offensive is being delayed, locating the second Patriot battery near the coast & close to Odesa could enable this battery to shoot down a large number of the cruise missiles.

Just a guess.

I want to recommend the movie Sisu.

Southern flank of Bakhmut:

@GeoConfirmed 4 hrs

The Battle of #Klishchiivka/#Кліщіївка.

Based on the @GeoConfirmed footage (take into account the delay before the release of the footage) the battle of Klishchiivka is a fact.

@NLwartracker 3h

"As I said two days before in my thread, when (not if) 🇺🇦 forces take Klishchiivka, the only thing between them and the defensive positions on the borderline between Luhansk and Donetsk (Popasna) is the defensive line on the T0504 manned by units of the 3rd army...

These units are battered and depleted units, who have been receiving untrained mobniks as replacements. If this last line of defense falls, the road to Kodema and Zaitseve is free, here are no notable defenses in these area's."

“locating the second Patriot battery near the coast & close to Odesa could enable this battery to shoot down a large number of the cruise missiles.”

It makes sense to point them at the borders, where most of the intrusions occurs - like the Black Sea Fleet, and the Air Bases on Crimea. The Southern coast from Odessa to Mykolaiv has good elevation to site a radar.

[blitz128]

How far from a control center can launchers and radar units be set. Seems control center, then radar, then launchers are order of importance
Can radar or detection equipment be widely dispersed and launchers set closer to front for range purposes be done? lol

[BeauBo]

Sorry, I don’t know

Russians fighting Russians:

@visegrad24 2h

BREAKING:

The Free Russia Legion, made up of Russians fighting on the side of the Ukrainian Army, has crossed into Russia in the Belgorod region and has taken control of three settlements Kozinka, Glotove, Gora-Podil

Heavy fighting is taking place for control of Greyvoron.

@visegrad24 1h

Traffic jams forming as more and more Russians are fleeing the city of Belgorod, following the incursion of the Free Russia Legion (allied with the Ukrainian Army) into the region, taking control of 4 settlements near the city.

@KyivIndependent 50m

Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov addressed Russian soldiers in a video on May 22, urging them to surrender if they do not want to die because the situation on the battlefield is set to “get worse.”
