To: PIF and PIF and yet more PIF,
Notice all my posts.
To: FtrPilot -- in a longer list --
See what my Oryx' boasts.
Seconds, speedy seconds
Mark each daily thread,
For to some wags it seems thereby
I win my daily bread.
Sing and dance with joy,
Don't look askance, fanboi,
Click and click, and click and click
For the carnage I enjoy.
:)
17 unsolicited comments by you on your own thread. It is rather masturbatory.
Yakymivka near Melitopol. SOF UA or guerrillas blew up a railway bridge on the only line going to the Crimea.
Tell your Putin to say goodbye to his land bridge.

Special forces. Cutting Putin’s land bridge,
Tell your Putin to say goodbye to his land bridge.
Deep in RU held territory.
Is there anything on Russian social media channels confirming the AFU is that far behind the lines?
It isn’t my fault that Speedy wrote 17 unsolicited comments on his own thread. I just pointed out the fact that it is rather masturbatory.
Aside from the outright lie and snark, one could make the same claim with the same faux authority and appeal to emotion that you -- Big Mark -- are a supporter of "your Biden." And, as a supporter, you would be Big Mark the Jock.
The fascinating thing about debate and disagreement is how quickly some so rush to the Maximum accusation and Mark the lie, quite Goebbels-like.
Melitopol, Tokmak, Enerhodar are now cut off from rail resupply and reinforcements from Crimea.
Your fantasies about Speedy masturbating are really creepy.
Crimea rail to Zaporizhia land bridge was just cut by Ukraine. Deal with it and stop your whining.
To date equipment and vehicle losses, estimated:
Russia, 10,906
Ukraine, 3,585
That is a 3:1 ratio. Even assuming Orxy has 80% of Russian and underreporting half of Ukrainian losses, that's still 1.9:1 ratio.
For all the talk about Ukraine hasn't won, neither has Russia, and they are paying a huge price for it.

The Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like. Lies and systematic corruptions may in fact have dragged Russia into this war with Ukraine, which has been heavily backed up by the US and NATO. We will present the evidence, you make your own decision, because the Russian Army, is not what you think.

Designed to support the U.S. Army Captains Career Course, “Understanding Combined Arms Warfare” defines and outlines the important aspects of modern combined arms operations. This is not a complete history of combined arms warfare. It is intended to highlight the most important aspects of the subject.
The beginning of the documentary establishes a common understanding of combined arms warfare by discussing doctrinal and equipment developments in World War I. The second part compares the development of French and German Army mechanization during the interwar period and describes how each country fared during the Battle of France in 1940. The film concludes by showing how the United States applied combined arms operations in the European Theater in World War II.

[ Russian Retreat En Masse | Footage: Russians Run For Their Lives. Defense Collapses! | Their Distance Was Futile ]
••Day 472: Jun 10
Today there is a lot of news from the Velyka Novosilka direction.
Here, after a short regrouping, Ukrainians ramped up the intensity of their attacks in order to leverage newly captured positions and generate new gains. One of the main axes of advance became the hills west of the river.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Ukrainians gained a foothold right above the settlements, and as I told you last time, even if Russian claims were true and they indeed recaptured the settlements, they would not stay there for long due to the overwhelming fire from the hills. And this is exactly what happened.
Today Russian sources confirmed that they decided to retreat from Neskuchne to more reliable positions. Ukrainian sources also posted drone footage that confirms that Russians abandoned their positions around Storozheve as well.
Some non-mainstream Russian sources claimed that the front line collapsed under the pressure of the second wave of Ukrainian attacks all the way to Makarivka.
But this is just the beginning because Ukrainians also launched a massive attack from Zolota Nyva. Russian sources reported that, at first, Ukrainians launched a small attack on Novodonetske to fix Russians forces and protect the flanks while almost immediately launching a powerful attack towards Urozhaine.
Even the most prominent Russian sources confirm that Ukrainians very quickly cleared the tree lines, and the fighting is taking place right in front of the settlement.
As you can quickly notice, this attack completely cut off Russian forces in Blahodatne, and Russian sources confirmed that Russian forces retreated to avoid being taken into a pocket, which means that Ukrainians secured Blahodatne without a single shot being fired.
There are also at least 3 more lines of attack along the western section of the front line, namely toward Rivnopil, Novodarivka, and Levadne.
The freshest reports indicate that Ukrainians secured new tree lines in front of the settlements, however, the assault units are reportedly small, so for now, these are just supporting attacks.
Overall, in 1 week of storming operations around Veluka Novosilka, Ukrainians managed to liberate around 95 sq km of the ground.
When it comes to the Kherson region, in the aftermath of the destruction of the Kakhovska Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, 600 sq. km of the ground appeared under water. This means that the topography of the region has completely changed.
90% of Oleshly and Hola Prystan, which are the main Russian strongholds where they were hiding most of their equipment, were submerged under the water.
The flooding has also destroyed many Russian first-line field fortifications that the Russian military intended to use to defend against Ukrainian attacks. Rapid flooding has forced Russian personnel to evacuate as fast as possible.
Recently released footage shows how Russians are using boats from the local tourist center. Unfortunately for Russians, there were only blue and yellow boats left.
Recent footage also shows that Russians had to use their transport helicopters to evacuate from the Kinburn Spit because the flooding had reportedly cut off the main supply roads.
Ukrainian Southern Operational Command Spokesperson Nataliya Humenyuk stated that in some places, Russian forces had to roll back by up to 15 km.
Local residents also showed what happened above the dam. As the reservoir has been gradually emptied, the river width has shrunk by multiple kilometers. In fact, if we look at the satellite footage, we can see that vast areas have turned into land.
If we increase the contrast of the image, we can also see how narrow is main river path. This means that if the water levels continue to recede, Ukrainians will be able to establish a pontoon bridge and conduct a mechanized assault on a completely naked and unfortified part of the front line.
••Breaking through the first line defense means the UA strategy was good in general. Break throughs happened at Lobhove, near Huliaipole and Neskuchne.

Russia claims it has thousands of FPV drones from China’s iFlight company - but in the video they used a green screen to show the drones.
FVP drones are more reliable than the standard DJI drones because they re less vulnerable to counter measures. Because the user is ‘in’ the drone, it makes them very accurate and able to hit specific parts. Video was all fake.

Hungry’s Orbon negotiated with Putin that Hungarians fighting in Ukraine will hold a press conference and verbally attack Ukraine and praise Russian Orthodox Church.
••The Russian Federation has built a powerful line of defense in a three-line system with different levels of fortifications - The Telegraph.
Carefully constructed ditches stretch for many kilometers, and British intelligence described the fortifications of the Russian Federation as “one of the most extensive systems of military defenses that have ever been seen anywhere in the world.”
The Russians had a year to prepare for the counteroffensive, so it should be understood that our heroes are making incredible efforts to break through their defenses. The counteroffensive will not be easy, but we are ready and confident of victor

Kherson Weather:
Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot go on a counteroffensive because of the rain - The Telegraph. Heavy rain turned the land of southern Ukraine into mud and slowed down the Ukrainian counteroffensive.
The Leopard tanks that Ukraine has placed at the forefront of the offensive are forced to fight in a large swamp, which makes it difficult for our troops.

Finally we payed back! Video of the ambushed column of Russian military equipment on the march. With the detonation of ammunition (in the second video).
The place is geolocated - this is the road next to the settlement. Zapovitnoe, Zaporozhye region, far enough from the front. Most likely, the cover was from somewhere in Nikopol or Marganets from the opposite bank of the reservoir (which has almost dried up as a result of the Russian undermining of the dam).

Putin wants to take PMC Wagner troops from Prigozhin The conflict is gaining momentum, now, before July 1, all volunteer units must sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation - this also applies to Wagner PMC. What it does is the complete transition of the Wagnerites to the RF Ministry of Defense.
Prygozhyn reacted to the order from Russian defence ministry. He stated that the Wagnerites would not be subordinate to the RF Ministry of Defense.
“Those orders and decrees that Shoigu forms, they apply to employees of the Ministry of Defense and military personnel. PMC “Wagner” will not sign any contracts with Shoigu.
“PMC “Wagner” is organically built into the overall system, PMC “Wagner” coordinates its actions with the generals on the right, left, with unit commanders.
“What can happen after this order - we will not be given weapons and ammunition - we will figure it out, as they say, when the thunder strikes, they will come running and bring everything”, said the leader of the mercenaries.
Girkin called Prigozhin’s actions a “military mutiny”.

Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan.
A train was crossing the rail bridge at the time it was hit.
They also have removed many exemptions including for scientists and people with degrees, the sick and over 65, also propagandists - basically the only exemptions are for people employed in the defense industry - if they quit they are mobilized.
You are one little man, for using the adjective "big" in your moniker. 1) I am not whining in the least, as a look back at my comments will generally show, though some, like you, have substituted rational, civil exchanges with verbs like "whining," 2) I am dealing with absolutely nothing related to the Uke-Ruski war. It's sad that soldiers die, period. That included some of my own way back when Lyndon Johnson lied to us, mere draftees.
Since you ask (sort of), I don't have to "deal" with whatever, specifically because I see two brutes brawling, both non-NATO nations, and have chosen neither side. What will come simply will come, and you, arm chair general so Mark the Maximum, will have had NO effect on whatever that outcome will be. Neither shall I.
My wee rhyme of the day addresses something other than the war. It addresses the way Speedy posts. something others have also noticed. As the truth may be told, "a cat may look at a king."
