March 21: Kherson airbase has been abandoned by Russia.
Posted on 03/21/2022 1:11:04 PM PDT by marcusmaximus
Russian Forces starting to lose vehicles by the dozen in the Kherson area.
Expect fighting to intensify there over the coming days.
Ukrainan forces are sat around 35 Kilometres from Kherson city centre as of now, most of that distance is open area.
Reports of Ukrainian Air Force Ground Attack aircraft operating in the area earlier today is 100% something to note.
If they can make a push South with integrated Close Air Support from Su-24s/25s, Ukrainian Forces will find themselves in a good position.
Satellite images have also confirmed that Russian helicopters have been redeployed by land from Kherson Airport, but unclear if Russian ground units are still using it as a Forward Operating Base
Interestingly enough it seems to be Ukrainian Marines leading the offensive toward Kherson.
But as I said, 35km of open area isn't ideal at all.
Worth noting that Ukrainian especially Marines and SF have a superior nighttime fighting capability.

March 21: Kherson airbase has been abandoned by Russia.
Great. Now don’t have to give Ukraine any more money or weapons
Looks like that trache of US weapons has show upon.
Russian collaborator, Pavel Slobodchikov, was shot killed today in Kherson.
Slobodchikov, reportedly supported the Russian occupation of Kherson and was helping create an occupation administration in the city.

The US should supply whatever is needed till Vlad’s head is impaled on a spike in the center square of Kherson.
Russia is bigger and makes ammunition and armored vehicles and planes.
Whoever controls the battlefield controls the recovery of damaged vehicles.
[Russian collaborator, Pavel Slobodchikov, was shot killed today in Kherson.]
The lifespan of a Russian stooge official will be less than a fruit fly on a banana.
some speculation that in light of the Russian failure in the direction of Mykolaiv and Odesa, that they may be falling back to a plan of focusing their war aims on the eastern side of the Dniepr
Is that an attempt at humor?
This report, if credible, is certainly good news - but by no means justifies withholding (military) aid to the Ukraine.

Oh, you hate to see it.
There are videos of several Russian helicopters being towed away from the airport...obviously not in flying condition...truly odd to see them not on transporters by running on landing gear.....
The Russians evacuated their remaining NON-DESTROYED helicopters from their Kherson air base by truck because they were afraid of being shot down by the Ukrainian special forces.
Pretty stupid and desperate for the Russians to put a helicopter on a flat bed truck for transport over those roads.
No Kherson + No Mykolaiv + No Odessa = No Novorossiya for KGB Putin
Yeah, “failing, falling back, focusing” to a country boy that translates to “buttkicked.”
Is that an attempt at humor?
I don't read it that way.
The ONLY reason to give Ukraine money and/or weapons is to support the Deep State Cabal.
Or a case of borscht on a Marine aircraft according to you. You were making jokes about the four Marines dead in a training accident.
