And just another dig at the Russian Army. With all their known problems, you would expect that at least the one thing they are built around should be really good: artillery. The Russian Army is a heavy weapons, artillery based army. As can actually be seen by the total destruction they have left in ...

More leaked Russian casualty figures. Readovka for a short while listed 13.414 Russian soldiers killed, 7.000 missing. Keep in mind, this does not include non Russian Army troops like the separatists (estimated 3.000 to 6.000), Chechens (several 100), mercenaries (Bellincat estimates it at 3.000) an...

And adding to the above... here is a short clip showing TWO smoke plumes. Apparantly two choppers were taken out at the same location.

And another Russian helicopter being shot out of the Sky, apparantly near Zaporozhye today. (edit: other tweet claims it is a Ka-52) https://twitter.com/Arslon_Xudosi/status/1517143584348114948?s=20&t=XfspiFm2qNZi8gFgpNRI-g And that list of dead/captured pilots surely is outpacing the list of visual...

Another Russian jet shot down this morning near Izium. Type unknown, but two pilots bailed out.

No doubt he'll spin it as some sort of victory, but Putin has ordered NOT to storm the last remaining part of Mariupol in Ukrainian hands. So after Kyiv, the Russians also cannot take Mariupol. Sure, they flattened it, but no total victory. And their troops will remain tied up there for the time bei...

Another Russian Ka-52 shot down, near Kharkiv. At least number 11 already, but probably a lot more. https://twitter.com/Blue_Sauron/status/1514889334419247104?s=20&t=t7JcUn1ef3V6qZsmbN0wMw Also one near Kyiv, completely destroyed, but apparantly this one was reported before already, but now reduced ...

The Ukrainians have sunk the Moskva in the Black Sea. Ok, ok, they claimed they have hit with Neptune missiles, the Russians claim a fire has led to an ammunition depot explosion and that it roled onto its side. Either way, ship is cancelled. Most likely together with a Ka-27 which it normally has o...

The real harsh reality is that it was not those new 30BTG of new recruits that made Mariupol fall (if indeed it has fallen). These new recruits are cannon fodder. They are very unlikely to have a major impact on the war, other then prolonging it and increasing the death toll. Untrained, poorly equip...

In numbers perhaps, not in strength. Those are untrained recruits, walking on sneakers, with WWII helmets and even older rifles (no joke). https://www.thedailybeast.com/donbas-conscripts-given-guns-from-1800s-and-dead-frog-infested-drinking-water Here is a tweet about the BTGs by the way: https://tw...

We've already seen Ukrainian missile attacks on an airfield in Russia. We've also seen already a Ukrainian air attack with two Mi-24 gunships on a oil supply in Russia. But now this, seemingly evidence of sabotage in Russia. A railway line was blown up near Belgorod. Ukrainian special forces at work...

Interesting observation by Col(ret) Alexander Vindman (remember him?). https://twitter.com/AVindman/status/1513572846060158983?s=20&t=kvvt_1ynmeBxT-UyEi25xg (short, not enough Russian troops to run their expected offensive in the Donbas) Also, no link for now, but apparantly US intelligence estimate...

Apparantly a Russian helicopter defected to Ukraine. https://twitter.com/MotolkoHelp/status/1511323031104368641 Apparantly, 6 Russian helicopters took off from Gomel for a flight to Russia. One (RF-04812) broke formation and went in a south eastern direction, towards Ukraine. Never to be heard from ...

Burned out wreck of another Ka-52. Tail still in tact, serial starts with RF-134.. it looks like. I don't think this one was seen before.

Seen those pictures/videos of 250+ Ukrainian Marines surrendering in Mariupol yesterday?
Well... maybe not:
