A detailed list of the destroyed and captured vehicles and equipment of both sides can be seen below. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available

“SpaceX Starlink terminals are playing a key role with Ukrainian forces for coordinating artillery fire, aiding UAVs to drop munitions, helping commanders pass orders, and keeping soldiers in touch with their families. “
“Another important aspect is that many Russian EW systems are used to locate communications sources for targeting. It sounds as though they can’t locate Starlink systems very effectively. This war might have been very different without them.”
No one cares about this boring string of numbers.
I want to see the daily Javelin inventory for Russia.
It shows a change in Russisn tactics. The original idea of shock and awe, using massed armor flopped badly thanks to Javelins, Arty, drones, and good observation and coordination. Now it seems the Russians have decided on a grind it out tactic using their arty and air while advancing with their infantry. Drone missiles are much less effective against a platoon of infantry than they are against a platoon of tanks.
In this modern technological era, tactics must change. The era of armored land fighting vehicles and naval surface combatants is over. The Russians are paying a high price learning this lesson and are apparently changing tactics. The big question is what has our politically correct military learned from this war?

Even if a deal is reached to allow grain shipments from Ukraine, sea mines could make doing so impossible for months.

••Russian Occupation Administration
Donetsk Region: installed new governor came from Russia. New Russian officials from non-military background from industry, construction, trade and one was a regional vice governor in Russia. The new governor was originally from Ukraine.
He’s totally loyal to Russia, hailing from Dnipro region. What Russians don’t understand: the two regions (Dnipro and Donetsk) were intense rivals. Political elites were always fighting negatively with each other, no matter where they rose to power - Kiev or Russia. From regional perspective he not seen as ‘their’ person.
Zaporizhia Region governor switched sides to the Russians.
Kherson Region - member of Parliament and from Ze’s political party switched sides. Arranged meeting with local farmers and invited Russian deputy head of Russian President’s Administration, Kiryenko(?) in power for 20 years. Message sent to media: this region is now part of Russia for good, so no worries. Taking (stealing) grain from Kherson region to Crimea is boasted about in Russian media.
Quite a bit of problems in Ukraine leadership an politics with defections to Russia; this is openly discussed. Even some in UA military are quietly working for Russia.
••Another Russian poll 75% support Putin’s war in Ukraine. Not fair or unbiased poll.
No update tomorrow, WiU will be traveling.

AHS Krab: Poland Is Giving Ukraine a Massive 155mm Howitzer to Fight Russia
Poland this week announced a new defense contract with Kyiv worth roughly $650 million. The money will be used to deliver dozens of new howitzer units, with the first 18 having already been delivered to Ukraine, and an additional 56 now expected to arrive on Monday.
Krab howitzers can fire six rounds per minute, travel at a maximum speed of 67km/h, and can fire standard HE-FRAG shells a distance of 30km. Rocket-assisted shells can be fired as far as 40km.
Russia has just inked the deal for basing rights in Nicaragua. Plans to train freedom fighters there, I guess Javalins are going to be handy.
They blow really good.
“The 🇺🇦 MoD has officially confirmed that Ukraine has received land-based Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
We don’t know the exact version, but I guess that it must be Block-1C or Block 1G. The range of 75 NM will be a deterrent against 🇷🇺 surface assets.”
The best thing that ever happened to Ukraine is the Russian invasion. Sad to say USA the Empire of Lies. USA will lose this proxy war.
Never underestimate your enemies. Question all media accounts. Most of them lie….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AHS_Krab
AHS Krab: 155mm, 52 caliber, 6 rounds per minute (sustained)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2S35_Koalitsiya-SV
Russian 2C35 Koalitsiya-SV SPG fires faster using an autoloader, 16 rounds pm. Range with standard shell is 40km, guided shell 80km, full reload in 15 minutes. The 2S35 has a unified command-and-control system with which all actions are displayed. The system can automatically select the appropriate shell type for a task and the amount of charge required. The turret is fully digital and can be controlled remotely through the unified command-and-control system
We’re I the Russians and had confidence in my company COS, platoonand squad leaders this is what I would do. Launch recon drones with comms to battalion and lower. Locate Ukie strong points and front line command centers and attack with mortars. Mortars are mobile and land with little warning and using them lessens the Ukies ability to eavesdrop on Russian comms and makes counterbattery fire more difficult. If the Russians are willing to make continuing small gains using mortar fire guided by drones and infantry maneuver they could nullify the Ukie advantages from the modern arty . Create a continuous close quarter small unit combat.
