While drones and missiles are in the spotlight, artillery is the workhorse on both sides. And Russia has thousands of them. Ukraine's latest tactic is going after Russian artillery.

This channel did a painstaking job of counting how many Russia had before the invasion and how many it has now. Russia has lost thousands, but still has thousands left.

According to Russian sources, Major General Vladimir Selivestrov, who commanded the 106th Airborne Division, which is now located in the Bakhmut are, was fired due to "unaccommodating character".

Between those getting fired and this getting killed, lot of opportunities for advancement in the Russian military these days.

This is the most peaceful fight I have seen. The Orcs surrender and run without any resistance. I want this war to end like this.

Inside Russia saboteurs have taken to blowing up railroad control facilities and such. This ties up the railroads more than if the tracks themselves were attacked.
A group calling themselves "Stop The Wagons" is said to be responsible.


Guerrillas have stepped up their acts of sabotage on railroads in Russia.

Agreed, I stop watching Tucker Carlson for that very reason, even before he was sent packing from FOX.

What I will do is defend Conservatives in the USA on this issue. Or at least I understand it to a degree. The mainstream and majority media in this country has been so biased for so long, that many people do not trust them. So, they look for alternate forms of information. Unfortunately, that makes them vulnerable to something like Russian propaganda.

Land mines that come to the enemy, a Russian product copied by Ukraine. Only if Ukraine had these at the beginning of the war. Future models will probably be a lot smaller and less detectable.

It isn't about Ticker Carson, it is about getting closer to the truth. Yes more people than ever questioning the US role in this and rightfully so. The window for massive US aid is closing.

Ukraine attacked Russian Black Sea Fleet with drones. The Russians were able to intercept the drones.

It isn't even a question.
The US offered a ride out of the country and Z said, No. The US then offered assistance and Z said Yes.
So did Canada, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Spain, Israel, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and some others.
Even China has urged Russia to restrain itself. Russia said, Nyet.
Game on.

Meh. They have a much better mass produced device.

As you don't speak Russian, simply watch from around 2:00 here:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2lhnn-mf9o

4 seismic sensors and sound sensors. Does not respond to lighter vehicles. Tilts in the direction of oncoming target. Shoots cumulative charge up in the air, charge scans for target and deploys roof piercing head vertically down into the any tank weakest spot - roof.
That thing on wheels.... meh...
