“I think we’ll be seeing more of Russian equipment”
Up to around June 27th, Russia was giving the rebels dribs and drabs of equipment.
After that date, the amount of equipment coming from Russia seems to have been to keep the rebels on parity with Kiev.
If they are upping the quality and numbers of equipment now, IMO we are entering an “End” phase.
To go along with this, there are Twitter Reports that “Babay” went home for couple of weeks, and is on his way back now with “Several hundred Cossack Recruits”.
The Rebels now have undisputed control of several border points, including the contested Izvarino, so the stuff will likely flood in now.
The South Pocket is now completely cut off, with the fall of the Zarachnaya (sp?) border post.
Kiev is pressing in the north though, and the rebels have fallen back from Lysychansk.
Supposedly, the 72nd Airmobile Brigade HQ was “Eliminated” last night and this morning. It would explain the fall of the border posts.
This video was supposedly taken this morning:

Area MLRS can be devastating.
....”If they are upping the quality and numbers of equipment now, IMO we are entering an “End” phase”....
Yes, that’s how I’m seeing it currently. Just wondering who might throw a stick into the fire to prevent “the beginning of the end game”.......there are still too many ‘loose militia’s’ stirring the pot with their own agenda’s. Which is why it might get more heated for a time.
BTW it’s interesting reading the specifics of what’s happening on the ground as you report here on FR.....generally confirms what I’m seeing or steps ahead of my catching up... Appreciate it very much....
