Theory of diminishing returns?
I like this daily update.
HEAVY fighting.
“Talked to a foreign fighter currently deployed to Severodonetsk. He’s confident that Ukrainian forces there will hold, but his unit is rotating out after heavy losses - 3 killed, 6 wounded from his unit of 24 in just 24 hours of fighting.”
“Theory of diminishing returns?”
Looks like it.
But returns nonetheless.
“Today one of the most famous Wagner mercenary, nicknamed “Vaha”, was killed in Ukraine. He fought in Donbass in 2014-16 (where he executed prisoners of war), but also in Libya & Syria.”

Extras:
UK Sending M270 MLRS (version not specified)
The system has been in use for nearly 40 years. All it takes is a GPS or INS fix for the firing location and met data inputs. Both firing and target points can be somewhat ambiguous in which case the dispersal altitude and rockets per mission are increased to ensure target destruction. The system has automated firing solutions for everything from trenches to moving vehicles. The ammo pods are frag and bullet resistant.

Summary: Russian troops broke through Ukrainian defenses north of Popasna and captured village Nyrkove, approached village Mykolayivka.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes.
- Lyman bridgehead - only Svyatohirsk bridgehead remains in Ukrainian hands.
- Severodonetsk - Ukrainian troops gained control of Severodonetsk attached to Azot plant
- Popasna area: Russian attack from Lypove area towards north that resulted in capture of village Nyrkove, and outskirts of Mykolayivka. -Svitlodarsk area: No changes.
- Donetsk West: no changes
- Kherson bridgehead: No changes.
1. Kharkiv: no changes, Ternova is captured by Russian forces, Rubizhne is in UA hands. Intensity of fighting has increased somewhat, Russian troops attempt to push Ukrainian troops further from the state border.
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 - street fighting, no changes.
6. Popasna area: Russian troops advanced from village Lypove, captured village Nyrkove and were stopped on outskirts of village Mykolayivka.
••Very intense fighting
•• Russian General killed leading the attack during northern advance on Mykolayivka; he was commanding the 1 AK (DNR) - very strange because the 1AK is fighting west of Donetsk (Popasna is 143km north of Donetsk). Major General Roman Kutuzov has been killed in Luhansk Oblast, the general was killed in the village of Mykolaivka, Popasna district, Luhansk Oblast.
••Another general may have been killed in the same attack: Lieutenant-General Roman Berdnikov, Putin appointed commander of the DNR (1AK) in Donbas. Reportedly, he was the commanded of the Orc 29th Army and apparently transferred to command the DNR - странное дело
••1AK’s area of operations is from Svtilodarsk south to Vugledar
••Also killed was the UA commander of the 24th Brigade.
••Very bad development for UA as creates possibility of encirclement of UA troops.
7. Svtilodarsk area: No changes 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: Intense fighting near Davydiv Brid and Snigurivka. Russian troops bring reinforcements to the area, old T-62 tanks. No changes today.
••UA continuing control of Bruskyns’ket is unclear
••Very intense fighting
••Commander of UA 35th Naval Brigade killed.
••Large column of T-62s heading north from Crimea.
••T-62/T-55 was the generation after T-34s from WWII. Not what one would expect Orcs to bring to front because they can be quite easily destroyed.
••(Edit: the reason they may be bringing these old tanks to front is that all the other modern tanks are needed to protect Russia’s borders and provinces.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-62
And joins the legion of 200s. Hopefully, there isn’t enough left to find, let alone take back to the Motherland ...
Perhaps they will add in the T-62s winding their way up from the former Ukraine tank depot in Crimea
Western propaganda to ensure another hotspot corruption funnel is online to replace Afghanistan. The NATO led, US intel heavy Ukrainian troops are getting their a** handed to them.
It’s a true display of not GAF about your people.
You’re bad.
