It appears that Ukraine has picked up the pace on destroying Russian artillery. With their dwindling tank supply, a lack of artillery will really hurt Russia.
The Russians are doing what the Japanese did in WWII. They need to pull some of their best soldiers off the line and send them back as instructors for new soldiers. The Japanese ran out of their most experienced pilots and it quickly went downhill from there. The US does similar with training like Top Gun and other specialty training. In my case, we had 8 or weeks Basic Training, and then I had 8 or weeks of Artillery training. All the instructors/drill sergeants/black hats, had experience from Vietnam.
I’m really worried, I live 2 1/2 miles from a “blacktop” road, and I recently ordered rock for my road. Brown rock was cheaper than white rock. I must be all kinds of racist?

to Who is John Galt?
I read it n HS about 72. A great book. Really provides an understanding of the atrocities committed during WWII. The perspective of a young boy at the time.
If they toss out the Constitution why bother having a law school Wouldn’t think there would be any laws left after that. Without a Constitution, maybe the NRA could be the governing body.
Just a guess, but it looks like the sunken craft is in the way of the loading ramp where another ship is docked. I can’t tell whether it would block the ramp meaning loading and unloading would be hampered.
I was a trained artilleryman, but never really worked in my MOS, although was assigned to an artillery unit for 5 years. The trick is, when your howitzer fires a round 14 miles and th other guys can fire 8 miles, the guy shooting 8 miles has a problem. Even in the late 70s when I was in, as soon as you shot a couple rounds from a battery, it moved because of ground radar back then. They even have what s called “fuze hole” analysis, where all it takes is a couple sticks to calculate where a round came from.
I was trained in artillery. Back in the late 70’s early 80’s. Even then, once you fired a round, you were subject to radar detection. You would only shoot a couple rounds and then move quickly. Plus we used smaller 105 howitzers and each round still weighed about 80 lbs. Takes a long supply train to keep the ammo moving.
