“A battle for Odesa and Ukrainian access to the Black Sea will make Mariupol look like a kindergarten game.”
Retaking Kherson, and having the Dniper River as a defensive line, would make the defense of Odessa much more secure.
The Ukraine started a widespread mobilization months ago, and they are entering the window where those new forces will be available. A few months later, newly mobilized Russian replacements could be ready, so the Ukrainians likely want to shape the battlefield more favorably, during their window of opportunity.
“This strike at the bridge knocked out Russia’ top of the line air defense radar defending the bridge.”
Rehearsing for the Kerch Bridge to Crimea...
I saw some discussion that Russian Black Sea fleet vessels have been leaving Stevastopol, and deploying to ports elsewhere in Russia, to avoid longer range missiles in Ukrainian hands. Not sure if that is true or not.
Heavy artillery strikes by Ukraine against Russian positions across the entire Kherson region tonight.
Smart for Ukraine to strike again tonight while Putin is in Iran.
Ukraine strike big in Kherson tonight while Putin is in Iran.
According to information published by Tass on June 8, 2022, a group of 47 warships, boats, and submarines will participate in Russia’s Navy parade in St. Petersburg on July 31, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said.
DAY OF THE RUSSIAN NAVY, 26th JULY
15 July 2022
Every last weekend of July, Russia celebrates the Navy Day. Traditionally, the celebration starts with the formation of the personnel of the ships and the raising of the St. Andrew’s flag - the main sign of the Russian Navy. The flag symbolizes courage and bravery and consists of a white canvas with two blue crossed lines - St. Andrew’s Cross. The history of this flag dates back to the time of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called.
The main event is the naval parade, which involves the ships of the Pacific, Baltic and Black Sea fleets. The Navy Day 2021 will be celebrated in St. Petersburg for the fourth time. In addition to the main ships sailing along the Neva River, naval aviation and pedestrian sailors’ procession will participate in the celebration, that will finish at the Palace Square. Only on this day you can see an unusual phenomenon for St. Petersburg - the opening of bridges during the daytime. After the parade, the celebration usually continues with concerts and excursions to the ships. Some ships organize an open day for everyone. The day ends with a colorful fireworks. People from different cities come to see the parade, because this day really becomes unforgettable. Such a huge number of warships and aircraft at the same time can be seen only at the main naval parade in St. Petersburg every last weekend in July.
That’s what the Globalist Sorosbot troll is paid to do.
“Heavy artillery strikes by Ukraine against Russian positions across the entire Kherson region tonight.”
I would be surprised if this had anything to do with Putin being in Iran.
My guess is that they are kicking off their operational plan to retake Kherson - and whatever else is in that plan.
Perhaps there will be a long preparation with fires, perhaps not so long. But it seems like the opening salvo.
Is Moskva one of the participating submarines?
Today was a good day for the good guys.
Ukraine hit the bridge again today.
Key bridge in Kherson region ‘badly damaged’ by Ukraine shelling

“Ukraine hit the bridge again today.”
Its within range. It can’t run.
Its just a matter of time.
The launchers have to scoot around and hide like a shell game, but I’d guess that someone will fire on those bridges every night, until the desired effects are achieved.
“Smart for Ukraine to strike again tonight while Putin is in Iran.”
While the cats away the mice will play. btw.... the way Putin scampered off the airplane. See the video. He is swinging one arm because he has balance problems. He has trouble with heat. He takes off his suit jacket immediately as he jams into the limousine. I am sure the Mullahs ran the A/C at maximum for Pooty.

“The launchers have to scoot around and hide like a shell game, but I’d guess that someone will fire on those bridges every night, until the desired effects are achieved.”
Night time is the right time to fire on Russkie installations. Less visible to drones.... I would hide the launchers in the forest or groves. NOTICE has Russkies just bought 300 Iranian drones. Who knows. Maybe Iran makes good solid drones? But these drones can be used during daytime to try and find the Ukie’s new stand off launchers and artillery.
