They like to say that the Russians have trained them to fight Russians over the last 8 years.

They have held the line since March with infantry and Javelins, as a result the lines in the south and east haven’t moved much in a month and a half. Now that heavier hardware is arriving I expect to see them start to advance. My eye is on Izyum. Watching there we’ll see.

The Russians are stretched thin as it is. The Ukrainians are also stretched thin, but they have held the lines for a month without western hardware. Now lets see what they can do properly equipped.

China is airlifting pallets of Fix A Flat to Russia to help them deal with that dry rotted tire problem.

That’s my assessment as well. I think we are already seeing fruits of the equipment arriving at the front lines. The Ukes are very aggressive about Snake Island. They are kicking the Rukes well past Kharkiv. They lost Mariupol , can’t win them all. The Ukes really wiped out the Ruke attempt at the river crossing recently. I think these obvious victories are a result of western intelligence and longer range, more accurate firepower coming on line. In the case of Mariupol it was simply too little too late.
