The war in Ukraine is a tragic situation for both countries.

But, everyone dies.

No one gets out of this life alive.

Ukraine Situation Report: Ukrainian Troops Training With Howitzers Optimized For Guided Artillery Rounds
Having the M777A2 howitzer means Ukraine can more easily and effectively employ Excalibur guided-artillery shells in the heat of combat.
Excerpt:
Ukrainian troops are now training on M777A2 towed Howitzer that is optimized for firing GPS-guided artillery shells. These are the same shells that were promised as part of Washington’s most recent $400 million military aid package.

In the most-recent security assistance package, the U.S. Defense Department has only said it will be sending 1,000 rounds of 155 mm howitzer rounds that provide “greater precision” than standard shells for the M777. The New York Times on July 13 reported that the precision 155mm rounds were indeed Excalibur guided artillery shells.

Ukrainians have harnessed the weapon’s power to hone in on specific high-value targets and are using them so effectively that the U.S. is sending another four launchers. That will bring the number of HIMARS in Ukraine to 12, on top of tracked M270 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) donated by other NATO nations.

The Ukrainians may have gotten some targeting help from the Russians themselves, according to a video that popped up on Twitter recently. It appears that one Russian soldier or collaborator filmed several others loading a truck with ammunition inside one of their massive ammo dumps in the Donetsk region. When the video was posted to social media, the Ukrainian Army was able to identify the location and target it with artillery.

It would seem that Ukraine has run out of tank killing ATGMs and has not been resupplied by NATO. Russia has yet to make any significant attacks on the Ukraine supply line, but if NATO is slow to resupply, they may not need to.

It is now a war of logistics. Whoever is the first to run out of weapons, ammo or men will loose.

Now start documenting the Infrastructure destroyed in Ukraine.

Russians are not just destroying Ukrainian tanks, they are destroying Ukrainian ports, apartments, markets, roads, etc.
