They need Tow missiles to sink Russian navy.

They should have already mined the Harbor and
shore.

Also, they need more UAV drones like the
Turkish drones that destroyed so many Russian
tanks.

Huh. So the Russian Army that is stalled, in disarray and losing to the Ukes is advancing on Odessa.

They struck residential buildings but there were no casualties?

How does that work?

since they have no intention of being an occupying force, this is just one of the final dates of the 2022 Ukrainian Punishment Tour...

Sooner or later, for better or worse, this war is going to be over. So, who’s going to ‘re-build and clean up Ukraine? Or who’s going to get rich off of it?

“So the Russian Army that is stalled, in disarray and losing to the Ukes is advancing on Odessa.”

I saw some reports that some of the limited landing areas around Odessa had been mined.

Harpoon anti-ship missiles have been discussed, but I have not heard of any transfers. It may be a surprise.
