  1. The meat grinder continues just wish Russia would just the madness

  2. This might be copium but someone (I think US top brass?) mentioned that an army collapse can happen suddenly. One week they’re threatening to encircle a city, the next everyone is stealing bicycles to get back over the border and home. A dictator has to keep up the power projection until the very last moment, because their life depends on it.

    Every day I wake up and hope to read of this happening. I know it’s unlikely, but it keeps the hope alive. No modern society should be tolerating these losses, yet orcs continue to defy the odds…

  3. How much artillery is Russia manufacturing is one of my questions? I heard different claims ranging from it was basically negligible because they don’t have the barrels to up to 1000 guns per month of various types.

  4. If we assume ~200,000 russian KIA in Ukraine to date, the USSR’s war in Afghanistan would have to have lasted ***more than 133 years*** in order to equal russia’s current losses.

    [Edited for clarity, and because my math is a sad joke]

  5. So the MLRS stock seems to be depleted? none/few since days/weeks

  6. Question

    If a tank is used as artillery, is that counted as both a tank and artillery?

  7. The number of Russian army attacks on the front lines has increased compared to previous days. The number of Russian air force attacks remains about a third lower than in February and March. Based on current information, it can be concluded that Russia has mainly restricted air force activities in the southern front area.

    – In the Svatove and Severodonetsk regions, the Russian army continues attacks towards Kupiansk and Luhansk, but has not achieved success. Attacks towards Bilohorivka in the Siversk area have also not brought success. The Ukrainian army attacked Russian forces’ concentration and training areas near the occupied Lugansk oblast’s village of Kuban with cluster munition ATACMS missiles. Considering the scarcity of these missiles in Ukrainian possession, the target must have been a larger group than a few squads. Social media photos showed 116 Russian soldiers killed.

    – In the Bakhmut area, Russian unit attacks remain high, but they have not been successful.

    – The most active Russian unit attacks continue to the west, northeast, and north of Avdiivka. There are reports of small Russian advances. Active attacks continue south of Novomykhailivka and Krasnohorivka villages. There are also isolated attacks south of Vuhledar. In these directions, the Russian army has not made significant progress.

    – Russian units were less active on the southern front. There are reports of Russian unit advances near Urozhaine in the border area between Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk oblasts, but these require confirmation. Russian infantry groups were relatively active in the area around Krinka village on the east bank of the Dnieper. No changes have been reported. Social media is buzzing with information that the Russian army is moving capable units from the southern front to continue the offensive in Donbas. The coming week will show whether these reports are true.
