At least it appears the UN are going to go in now according to Kuleba. Its a massive disaster and all efforts need to go into rescuing those civilians. Wouldnt surprise me if the ruzzians still shell the area even with the UN in there though. Putin couldn’t care less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bound to happen, but I agree with the poster that the vehicles should have driven further apart. They look like they're using Russian tactics.. Out of the column I can only identify two Leo's that are taken out (not sure if they're 1 or 2), and several AFV's. I'm sure Ukraine's leaders will enforce better transport routines on the back of this. The idea is that the crew in the leos should survive rather than cook to death, and hopefully Poland can fix the tanks. Edit, I can only identify one Leo 2 that's been taken out.

Mandy Lifeboats Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) The definition of irony A 23 year old Russia decided to avoid a potential call up by taking “an extended holiday” in Egypt. Yesterday, he was eaten by a shark. The video of the event is brutal and I would not recommend watching it.

bickster Posted June 9, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 9, 2023 Things are definitely hotting up again, regardless of the absolute accuracy of the Ukrainian figures they publish each day, the figures do show trends and the liquidated personnel numbers have shot up in the last couple of days, only a few days ago they were down in the 400/500 per day range, todays figures are up in 4 figures for the first time in a long time and, they've rarely gone much higher than yesterdays figure Here's a graph showing the historical figures, the uptick is very noticeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently with operational silence in place most of the reports aren't conclusive though yet. It does seem that Ukraine are finally on the front foot now right across the frontlines.

I think we can all agree that the shark's territory had clearly been invaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see one report claiming that UAF were through the second set of Dragons teeth on the Southern front.

It indicates effective counter battery fire once Russia reveals its positions as Ukraine attacks, it's an area Ukraine should be better than Russia with excaliber shells and Western artillery. I guess we should expect news soon from behind the third main lines of Russia, I'm not so sure how soft the rear is this time but they can't fortify everything.

I'm hoping that push towards Melitopol isn't far away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
