So you have no better source of information. That means that you don’t know if the numbers are high, low, or accurate. Oryx agrees with you that the numbers are not accurate, as they only use images for equipment they can identify as unique. Oryx believes that all the losses are more significant. But you do know this already, and you just are looking for a reason to troll.

I was not the one criticizing Speedy’s post. You were. If he is wrong, please cite another source that is more relevant or accurate. Otherwise, you are just trolling someone that is attempting to provide some information, tainted as is through the fog of war.

Ukraine: military situation update with maps, Sept 5, 2022
(’Orc’ is associated with the various hoards of 13th century Mongol invaders, as well as LOTR evil villains)

War in Ukraine

Artillery (key to success in this war), Fuller explanation of Orc military structure, Other Bonus articles - see previous postings in “Attack on Europe” (FR title search).

(Numbered printed material below - Some of the items below may be out of date, and not updated yet)

••denotes transcribed dialogue.

———————————————————————————————————————
••Energy Situation:
The new UK Prime Minister supports drilling in the North Sea and nuclear power. This could help change to energy situation for the better some years down the road.

Europe continues its bet on “green energy” with some emergency measures (France & Germany) using conventional power generation, after Russia completely cut off NG to Europe. Europe is on a collision course with winter.

••Military Overview:
Kherson offensive is stalled because its normal.

———————————————————————————————————————
Summary:
Major Ukrainian offensive on Kherson bridgehead,
Day 8 of the offensive.
Russian forces managed to maintain control over the situation, especially in the north of Kherson region by withdrawing to new defensive position.
Russian forces face significant shortages of the ammunition on the bridgehead.

Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbas area: no changes
- Donetsk West: no changes.
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.

1. Kharkiv: No changes.

2. Izyum bridgehead: No changes.
••Unconfirmed reports that remnants of the Orc 38th B has been pulled to the Kherson Bridgehead.

3. North Donbas: No changes.

4. West of Donetsk: No changes.

5. Vugledar - Velyka Novosilka, Gulyapole: No changes.

6. Kherson bridgehead:
The main focus and where the action is and where the attention of both higher commands are.

What happened is that Ukrainian troops are having difficulty supplying this bridgehead on the eastern bank (Davydiv Brid area) of the Inhoulets River, which is the last river. They build foldable bridges, some pontoon bridges and ferries.

Everything goes to to continue the supply of Ukrainian troops so that slowed down Ukrainian move in the eastern direction and south eastern direction. Nova Kahovka of the first goal, immediate goal on the western side and Koka is a sister town on the eastern side.

Situation here in the northern part has more or less stabilized: Russian troops withdrew; they have now more stable defensive line. Ukrainian side needs to throw more resources to breach through this new front line. What happened in in summary while Ukrainian troops managed to squeeze Russian troops, they didn’t really defeat it, and it was orderly more or less orderly withdrawal of Russian troops.

In the north, they are able to continue defensive operations, and they able to continue the fight.

That’s a whole key point here: there was no full-scale breach of Russian defenses and degradation of the Russian defensive system. It still operates at its minimum because of their poor supplies, that’s the biggest challenge for the Russian troops right now because they rely on heavy artillery fire. That’s how they essentially stop Ukrainian advances and they do their own advances and offenses.

Because there is a shortage of artillery shells, they cannot use as much, and they’re used to that. They really need this artillery support and it’s not there. What we know is that there are only two ferries that are functioning across the Dnipro River.

There is not enough supply for the Russian troops, for them to operate the way they used to operate, or the way they are designed to operate. They they cannot operate in the proper in a normal their their normal way and therefore there are problems at this point.

The only reason there is nothing big happening here is because Ukrainian command has put more or less what they could into this offensive in between the Davydiv Brid and Sneharivka; and they need to bring more resources and reserves. Also they must create stable supply across let’s river which is has been a challenge, but it looks like that problem has been slowly resolved.

Ukrainian command may resume or may not depending, but we definitely think there is a tremendous pressure to resume this advance. We can’t truly call this an offensive; it’s more like something new in military science, if there is such thing as a science.

This it’s more like an art in many ways, but nevertheless, this is what’s going on right now. Russian troops don’t have enough artillery support the only saving grace for Russians command is that the Ukrainian side also doesn’t have many heavy weapons or enough heavy weapons.

The most important thing is a problem of medium level command; it’s frequently not very competent, although I would say very bluntly incompetent. That allows a lot of opportunity for Russian forces not to be totally defeated and decimated and in the north to withdraw in more or less orderly way with some losses. But they are not critical losses for the ability to continue defensive actions.

There are also as as as I mentioned there are reports that parts of the 38th B has been brought in here to stabilize the situation. Apparently the airborne divisions are not enough, but that could be totally incorrect - just reporting at the face value. It’s all very extremely speculative here.

Ukrainian troops created cracks or created extreme difficulty for the Russian side, but they did not break the wheel. They did not created a decisive solution, the decisive moment for themselves.

Ukrainian troops just gonna do small advances, and eventually squeeze Russian troops out of this bridgehead. There is a chance that it will be a suddenly collapse and disorderly withdrawal of Russian troops. But I would say, if we scale this scenario of slow withdrawal and slow squeeze, it is more than likely a disorderly collapse of the Russian frontline. It’s extremely hard to understand at how low how little of their ammunition Russian side is getting, because that’s really the the answer to this situation, the key to this situation.

We still don’t know if Russian forces still control Zolota Balka, they withdrew a little bit south of it they were becoming outflanked, and they don’t have enough resources to cover the flanks or do any counter offensive small scale counter offensive.

There is no strong salient right now for the Russian side and so that creates more stable frontline for the next couple days. It remains to be seen if Ukrainian side is willing to throw more resources into the fight. So far this whole offensive was expensive, but it’s like normal expensiveness: all offensives are expensive in terms of consumption of the resources. Where there is a problem that expenses did not pay off the return on this investment.

Now it looks like Ukrainian command will need to do double down in terms of expenses again invest and in the hope that they can make decisive breaching of the Russian defensive positions.

“Russia is buying millions of artillery shells and rockets from North Korea”

North Korea has among the World’s very largest stockpiles of artillery shells and rockets. Not particularly known for precision missiles, but mountains of dumb shells and inaccurate rockets.

Connected by rail, they can likely be paid in oil. Don’t count on Russia running out of artillery shells. They have many serious problems that could lose the war for them, but wholesale availability of artillery shells might be the last.

"Ukraine still winning bruh?"

Looks like they are winning in the East today, as well as the South.

Russian forces retreating today from Balakliya (betwwen Izyum and Kharkiv in the East). This means that Urainian forces have crossed the river, to cut off Izyum from the North.

Russian forces retreating around Kharkiv, and blowing bridges behind them. Russian telegram channels are all posting the same message of "There is not panic".
