750 RuZZian tanks lost in 100 days of war.
It is going strictly according to plan!
It’s over. Zelenskyyy destroyed his nation for personal enrichment.
If it were not for fake news, the Soros stooges would have no good news at all.

According to the Conflict Intelligence Team, General Alexander Dvornikov was replaced by General Gennady Zhidko, former commander of the Eastern Military District and Russia’s deputy defense minister.”

U.S. Plans To Sell Ukraine Armed MQ-1C Gray Eagle Drones: Report
MQ-1C gives Ukraine a major leap in capability over its TB-2 drones for missions like electronic warfare support, strike, and surveillance.
Aside from the 4 HIMARS launchers and an undisclosed amount of ammunition, the capabilities in the latest $700 million package include:
Five counter-artillery radars;
Two air-surveillance radars;
1,000 Javelin auto-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and 50 command launch units;
6,000 anti-armor weapons of an indeterminate design;
15,000 155mm artillery rounds;
Four M-17 helicopters;
15 tactical vehicles;
Spare parts and equipment.
Germany announced it would send IRIS-T guided missile air defense systems - arguably one of its most advanced surface-to-air weapon systems — along with four MARS II multiple rocket launchers from its own stocks. The MARS II is a German-specific variant of the U.S.-made M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System, a tracked rocket launcher that can load up to 12 rockets at a time. It can fire the same suite of ammunition as HIMARS, including the M30 and M31 guided rockets.

WiU Commenter #1
The Ukrainians will be getting fewer selections of the types of rockets the HIMAR is capable of firing. Now if the rockets they are getting is the M77 bomblet munitions warheads which has about 667 bomblets per war head spread over a football field per war head. A full volley of 6 rockets pack over 4000 bomblet munitions.
The M270 MLRS and the HIMAR was designed for counter artillery and counter battery. Meaning they are specifically designed to hunt and kill field artillery. The Russians are about to take some truly horrific losses to their artillery and fixed defense troop locations like that defensive line near Kherson. This is American equipment that was designed to survive nuclear wars and the lost of all satellite aid. 4 launchers can zero 24 square kilometers in 6 sec
WiU Commenter #2
M777 have been doing some damage, the Russians really don’t like them. Although a high priority target for Russia, they have had very little success in combatting them, relying on drone strike attempts.

••Russia restricted export of Neon gas which is essential for semiconductor manufacture. Ukraine use to supply 50% of the world’s supply of Neon, now exporting nothing. Russia supplied about 30%. This means that it will be harder to make electronic components and the costs will go up as chip supply tightens
••Taiwan has said it will no longer export high wend chips to Russia, nor will it sell machines needed to make those chips to Russia. Russia has now lost access to advanced chips and ability to produce advanced chips, which it was trying to achieve.
••Russian VAT (sales tax) collections fell 340 billion rubles through April 2021-April 2022. Pain at consumer level.
**4 units of M142, but without long distance rockets - gets only 70km rockets. UK & Germany: 8 units of older M270. Former President Medvedev threatens to nuke west because of these weapons; nuclear drill a few days ago was related to launching nukes on West.

Summary: Ukrainian forces are losing control over Severodonetsk. Russian troops made gains near Popasna.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes.
- Lyman bridgehead - only Svyatohirsk bridgehead remains in Ukrainian hands.
- Severodonetsk - Ukrainian troops lost most of the town
- Popasna area: Russian troops captured Pylypchatyne and Kamyshuvaha.
- Svitlodarsk area: no changes.
- Donetsk West: no changes
- Kherson bridgehead: attack by Ukrainian troops from Davydiv Brid towards Beryslav is stopped by Russian artillery and air strikes. No changes.
1. Kharkiv: no changes, Ternova is captured by Russian forces, Rubizhne is in UA hands. Low intensity fighting.
2. Izyum bridgehead. It is extremely dangerous penetration by Russian troops that potentially could lead to large pocket for Ukrainian troops west of Donetsk. Many Russian units from there were transferred to a salient near Popasna to exploit initial successes of Russian troops there. No changes today.
3. Lyman bridgehead. Only Svyatohirsk remains under Ukrainian control, Russian attack on it. Eventually, it will be lost similar to the rest of Lyman bridgehead.
4. Rubizhne: captured by Russian troops
5. Severodonetsk - Ukrainian troops are losing control of the town pretty quickly - they lost all of the town, only industrial facilities (”Azot” chemical plant) are still in Ukrainian hands.
••300-500 UA militia holding line against the (2 / 2AK). Good defensive position in plant.
6. Popasna area. Russian troops made small but important gains today in particular village Kamyshuvaha which increases possibility of smaller encirclement of Ukrainian troops near Zolote. Also, captured village Pylypchatyne.
7. Svtilodarsk area: no Russian advances today.
8. West of Donetsk: Avdiyivka and Maryinka. No changes today.
9. Vugledar is in Ukrainian hands. No changes today.
10. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. No changes.
11. Kherson bridgehead: Ukrainian army attacked from area near Davydiv Brid, pushed into Russian defenses till village Bruskynske (controlled by Ukrainian army). Russian troops failed in their attempt to counter-attack and cut off Ukrainian forces.
However, Ukrainian troops were stopped in Bruskynske by Russian artillery fire and air attacks. Russian troops retreated to village Kostromka. No changes today.
**Little to no information.
751 irreplaceable tanks gone. Soviet Russia gets weaker and weaker with every passing day.
China is watching.
Policy on the page is:
“Discussing the Russian narrative in any way, shape or form is a no-no.”
Having that policy on FR would eliminate 2/3rds of the commenters
“4 launchers can zero 24 square kilometers in 6 sec”
Let the party begin.

What would the RuZZians on FR do? Have to go read Tass?
The guy that said that thought the Kherson region would be a easy place to start the Orc clearing.
RuZZia has asked Belarus for weapons.
Imagine a year from now. RuZZia may pay Ukraine money just to end the war.

They’d have to volunteer to participate in debunking the amount of territory a HIMARS salvo could clear in 6 seconds ...

I doubt that Lukashenko will fall for Putin’s ploy to disarm Belarus. Lukashenko is smart enough to know the biggest threat to his country is Soviet Russia.

I regret not sleeping through Survey of East European History way back during my college days.
Nolnah’s Razor: Never attribute to incompetence that which is adequately explained by malice.)
WRT the Ukraine, Russia took Ukraine region from the Turks during the reign of a woman czarina by the name of Catherine.
Tennyson wrote a poem The charge of the light brigade, an event during the Crimean war. The adversaies were Russia and England.
Ukraine was often referred to as the bread basket of Russia.
Ukraine was a member of the original UN, a vassal state of the USSR. White Russia(Belarus) was a vassal state member as well.
I must have been asleep when Ukraine became a full-fledged independent nation. That would have been after the Soviet Union choked to death on its own filth.
I appreciate the opportunity to kick resident brandon in the chops for being stupid enough to allow the the nation to run out of baby formula. But Hey all you Ivy League media folks you make brandon look like some einstein character. Goat’s milk and wet nurses is how our forebears got their children by when mom’s milk was unavailable.
