I wonder how many Attack Helicopters? They really impact the near battle on the ground.
“the same attack vector over and over again, with thousands of manpower losses and hundreds of big ticket equipment losses.”
It is jarring to see from our perspective - our leaders would be relieved or even jailed for that kind of thing.
But the Russians have been doing that from the get go in Ukraine, and before that in other past wars. It is a very different Military Doctrine, and a different culture.
Moscow We Have A Problem.
RuZZian vs Ukrainian losses for yesterday

The point to make is that ruzzia should discontinue the use of the Port of Berdyansk as that will surely be attacked in the near future.
Also, since Ukraine is not supposed to use ATACMs on ruzzian soil, they will probably dock all their ships in ruzzian ports, assuming they have enough docks.
“the same attack vector over and over again, with thousands of manpower losses”
The last big meatgrinder assault like that by the Russians was Vulhedar. We watched them send wave after wave down the same road, to be destroyed in the same kill box, gaining nothing.
The Commanding General of that Operation was recently promoted.
“ruzzia should discontinue the use of the Port of Berdyansk as that will surely be attacked in the near future.”
Increased Russian dependence on a few main Ground Lines of Communication - a handful of highways and rail lines, that probably have to bridge rivers at some point.
“...and a fanatical focus on counterbattery operations made this possible...”
Intrepid use of Ukraine’s CBRs has more to do with the successes of Ukraine’s indirect fires than even the HIMARS (I would wager). The neo-Soviet radars had high signatures and one after another were detected and destroyed by Ukraine’s artillery.
Not only do the conventional artillery pieces need to shoot and scoot but the radars must use the same tactic when the enemy has the capability to detect the radar emissions. It appears that Russia lost so many radars that whole sections of the front are not covered.
Meanwhile, the RuZZian Boys say they have no shortage. Can produce millions per year, yayaya.
“Recently, the news that the DPRK 🇰🇵 started to supply ammunition to the Russian army has become public.
Here are the first ever images of what was supplied: 122mm and 152mm HE-FRAG projectiles, which are already being issued to Russian artillerymen.”
“These projectiles appear to be relatively new and were manufactured in the 2000s.”

“Russian ships with military links have repeatedly visited a North Korean port in recent months, with the cargo apparently destined for a munitions base on the Ukrainian border.”
Base is Port of Berdyansk?
A ship loaded with artillery shells could make a big boom.

“The US and European governments are putting pressure on Israel to delay the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. In particular, to buy time for the secret negotiations being conducted through Qatar to secure the release of the hostages held by Hamas.”

Gaetz is the reason for the season.
“The Republican conference voted Friday to no longer back House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as Speaker.
The secret ballot vote came hours after Jordan’s third failed ballot on the House floor. He had lost GOP support with each successive vote.”
“Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) scolded Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a closed-door GOP conference meeting Thursday, telling the Florida Republican to sit down when he tried to interrupt McCarthy’s remarks.”
“At one point, while speaking at the mics during the gathering, McCarthy mentioned Gaetz by name, according to a source in the room. Gaetz stood up to “kind of interrupt him and say something,” per a second source in the room.
McCarthy then shot back, according to the second source.
“Sit your ass down,” McCarthy said, according to the source, prompting Gaetz to “say something back.”
The second source said Rep. Mike Bost (R-Ill.) “was ready to lunge across the room.””

“An Il-76 military transport plane of the Russian Air Force reportedly crashed in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. It is reported that the crew made it out alive.”

Avdiivka meat assaults Update:
The situation is worsening in the Avdos region.
The worst is near the tericon (slag accumulator of AKHZ) and in the direction of Severny.
Yes, the enemy’s equipment is on fire by the dozens, but the occupiers are still succeeding.
I would expect the entire fuselage would have holes in it.
I also expect the interior of the cockpit would have significant damage.
Second army in the world in action. Enjoy
