“Temps in low 70s, rising by the 10th”

Another class of freshly trained Ukrainian troops graduated yesterday in Canada, and new equipment keeps arriving.

A million rounds of Artillery fired with Western precision, will produce very different effects than a million Soviet -style rounds scattered about.

The Storm is coming.

Indiscriminate mass shelling on a city of line can be effective but bad on ammunition consumption and barrel wear as well as counter battery fire.
What it is not good at is hitting moving targets or targets that reposition. Also what is barrel condition of “stored” artillery and tanks. Like dropping bombs on open fields or peppering a field with a hundred shells and no one there. I guess looks good in the report and they can claim what they want. But is Ukraine MOD numbers are even remotely close SPGs and mlrs have taken a substantial hit as well as towed artillery

Be interesting to see what they have left when a tank can roll onto a trench and fire point blank and not be hit by anti tank stuff, not good. Bradleys and others firing auto cannons into positions is devastating throw in som 50 cal and it is a bad day.
