About time, when thought. Next year?
The Russians have always been very good a saturation artillery strike, something rather effective at trench lines, troop concentrations, and leveling cities. But far less effective against individual items like tanks
Keeping score on rounds fired means little except tracking ammo usage and barrel burn rate, 100 rounds may not be able to do what 1 precision round can do, and even if you manage to hit the target 100 rounds are gone and the barrels are that much closer to rupture and most certainly range and accuracy are diminished. Not to mention pesky counter battery fire
A lot of lessons are being learned
Cluster munitions - may play out like F-16s: drawn out as long as possible, then postponed, ensuring more UA casualties, while continuing to cover some politicians’ butts.
That is my concern, as many have said we are asking the Ukrainians to fight a war against a major power as we would never do, then complain about results.

While tying one of their arms to a stake.
One of the reasons we are "seeing" the results of counter-battery fire is UKR now has drones that can fly and loiter far behind the FEBA.
One such drone is the Ukrspecsystems MiniShark.
MiniShark specifications:
Length – 1.25 m
Wingspan – 2.6 m
Maximum take-off weight – 5 kg
Flight duration – 2 hours
Radius of combat use – 35 km
Working altitude – 1000 m
Maximum speed – 120 km/h
Payload – an optical-electronic observation complex with
10-fold optical magnification
Operating temperature range – from –15 °C to +45 °C

For all out there who claim Ukrainians are not intelligent( those statements alone are enough to show their intelligence), like with the shark the Ukrainians have done more with less than anyone I can remember
Amazing what an existential threat to their very lives can bring out.
War always brings out great innovation, and the beginning of the war looks nothing like the end.
Ww2 was perhaps the greatest example of that.
Elon is great at many things, but twitter has him wrapped around a pole.
Again, RU forces are using tanks for indirect fire.
These tanks are well within range of the FPV drones.
RU artillery is MIA.
More reporting says it will be M483 and M862 155m DPICM shells. After total silence on Russia's extensive use of cluster, thermite and thermobaric munitions, including on residential and other civilian targets, Russia/Putin supporters will suddenly find their moral outrage that Ukraine is using cluster munitions.
dieverxity splatters
go libs go
The difference is Ukraine will use cluster munitions on Russian military targets. The Russian army prefers to use such weapons on towns and cities. When they can’t keep a town, they will use airburst thermite on it after they withdraw. So much for liberating their fellow Russians.
Will be announced on Friday.
“The Biden administration has decided to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine and is expected to announce on Friday that the Pentagon will send thousands as part of a new military aid package worth up to $800 million for the war effort against Russia, according to people familiar with the decision.”
“Expect another US military aid package for Ukraine Friday, which will include cluster munitions for the first time.
The number of rounds remains in flux, but almost certainly over 100,000 DPICMS, according to one person familiar.”

Will say it again, the Russian mindset is not something most can wrap their heads around
It is fascinating to watch RT
And it seems so normal to them
“Mutiny Aftermath Jolts Ruble“
Makes sense that that political risk is what triggered the recent slide in the ruble.
“$43.5 Billion Outflow Takes Toll”
But the underlying fundamentals continue to deteriorate as well. Russia still seems on track for financial crisis.
Like how it was described in The Great Gatsby, when a character was asked how he went bankrupt - slowly for a long time, and then all of a sudden.
Best guess is that sometime next year will be their financial “Come to Jesus” moment, but markets will see it coming ahead of time (already do).
I can follow a Twitter link that someone else posts, but still can’t see the rest of someone’s posts. Twitter isn’t posting in public anymore, only to account holders. I am moving on, going back to other (slower) sources, hoping to find a less nosy competitor (but doubt that I will).
