The Marine Infantry Command’s claims are the first to come directly from the Ukrainian military about advances across one of Russia’s most significant strategic barriers. Earlier this week, Andriy Yermak, head of the president’s office, confirmed for the first time that Ukraine had established a foothold on the eastern side of the river.
The wide river is a natural dividing line along the southern battlefront and Moscow’s forces have used it since leaving the area around the city of Kherson in November 2022 to prevent Ukrainian troops from advancing further toward Russian-annexed Crimea.
They not only killed helicopters.
They destroyed spare parts/engines & most importantly killed skilled helicopter maintenance techs
The VKS rotary wing airpower retreat behind Rostov-on-the-Don is about rebuilding a shattered military spares supply chain and reorganizing shattered maintenance units into something that will be militarily deployable.
This takes time that the VKS doesn't have.

I will give you one thing you are persistent...but I would hate someone like you being a leader as when you get it into your mind that you are right you will fight to you are dead...and when God judges you will find out there was no right or wrong side in this particular case...and you wasted your life for nothing.

The air defense has worked, but there are dead. What happened in Sevastopol?
Our sources in the Ministry of Defense told the details of the enemy’s morning attempt to attack Sevastopol.
The interlocutors confirmed the official information - the enemy attacked Sevastopol with two missiles. Both missiles were shot down, but four sailors were killed by falling debris .
The crew of an “experimental” military patrol died. “We decided to send boats out to sea during air raids (and not only) to hunt enemy sea drones.
“This time they sent four people, armed with automatic weapons and a machine gun, on a simple civilian boat. Unfortunately, one of the missiles was shot down right above our sailors. All four died,” one of the sources said.
It was decided to consider the emergency a “tragic coincidence”; patrols will continue to go to sea to fight enemy drones.

Drone directed mortar fire...very effective.
The drone is a quadcopter, most likely a DJI Mavic drone.

“’We are having to make tough decisions right now about the security assistance packages that we are providing to Ukraine, because we are coming near the end of the rope’, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in a briefing with reporters Wednesday. ‘The runway is getting shorter and shorter for our ability to support Ukraine in the manner in which we have been, and that funding is drying up’.
When the money is gone, Ukraine will have no choice but to unconditionally surrender.
Watch SpaceX launch Starship, the biggest rocket ever, LIVE up close and personal!
This is the second fully integrated full stack test flight of Starship and the mighty Super Heavy booster, the largest and most most powerful rocket to ever fly.
It produces over twice as much thrust as the Saturn V that took humans to the moon.
The goal of the test is to get further along than IFT-2 in April 20th which didn’t make it to stage separation while also hoping the improvements to the launch pad hold up better than the previous attempt.
If all goes well, Starship will re-enter near Hawaii about 90 minutes after it lifts off from Starbase, TX, nearly completing an orbit of the Earth.
This would allow the teams to test the reentry profile and heat shields for the first time from orbital velocities.
