I think twitter banning people is dumb, but that tweet doesn’t “point out that some members of the Ukrainian military are actual nazis.”
It got banned for misinformation. The user said that Ukraine was using American artillery to shell the Ukrainian city of Donetsk. Yes Donetsk is a city in Ukraine, but it’s also the capital of the separatist region that refers to itself as the Donetsk People’s Republic. The DPR is also a Russian ally and a major hub of Russia’s GLOC to the middle part of the offensive.

No the HIMARS are not the cure for Snake Island. They are part of the solution though. The Harpoons provided by Norway and/or the Neptune ASMs freed up by those Harpoons are the other part. The HIMARS destroy the weapons on Snake Island and then ASMs keep it from being resupplied.

Ukraine won’t be able to retake Snake Island. The Russian dolphins have been deployed there

That’s what the other kind of harpoons are for.

Ukraine does not have the harpoon technology to defeat the Russian Dolphins. If they attempt to engage, a lot of Ukrainians are going to end up in some dolphin rape dungeons

Better be careful though...have to shoot and scoot...
Russians would like nothing better than to destroy a HIMARS and/or Harpoon launcher with a stand off vessel launched Kalibr. Not sure about the Kalibr accuracy - hope it sucks, but it will have greater range than any Ukrainian weapon I believe.
Hope I'm wrong about the Kalibr threat, maybe someone who knows more can enlighten.

Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavsky
quote:
Tarnavsky described the shift in Russia’s tactics. “If before they simply marched in large columns, now they have started to actually fight,” he said. The Russian Army has split its forces into smaller groups, which it uses, along with a sizable fleet of drones, to identify and target Ukrainian positions, hitting them with artillery and air strikes. When a particular zone or village has effectively been levelled, ground troops—a mixture of regular Russian soldiers, Wagner mercenaries, and fighters mobilized from the Russia-backed separatist territories in Donetsk and Luhansk, Tarnavsky said—move in to try to seize the rubble.
quote:
Tarnavsky also estimated that Russia has an advantage of up to seven-to-one in artillery batteries and a similarly large stockpile of munitions. As a result, Russian forces can rely on wave after wave of indiscriminate fire from large-calibre artillery, along with missile and air strikes, to soften Ukraine’s defenses, inflicting large casualties before they advance.
quote:
Ukraine’s military doesn’t lack soldiers; mass mobilization efforts and an influx of volunteers have doubled the ranks of the armed forces since February. The more pressing shortfalls, Tarnavskiy told me, are of experience and skill. “A lot of regular military personnel have been killed,” he said. “They are replaced by doctors and mechanics. We have manpower, but much of this core”—those with combat experience who could lead and motivate new recruits—“is either dead or wounded.”

This made me go look at the history of Ukraine
TIL: Ukraine had a government in exile from ~1920 till 1992 when the 1992 Ukrainian governement voted to recognize the current Ukraine government as a continuation of the exile government who accepted and stepped down.

Which is why it's laughable when I see people say Ukrainians are just Russians, and that Ukraine has always been part of Russia.
That shite will get your arse beat in Ukraine.

Appears the insurgency has begun...
Ukrainian civilians living under Russian occupation have blown up a café close to the puppet government’s headquarters in the city of Kherson in what appears to be the first terror attack in occupied territories.
At least four people were injured in the explosion targeting the shop frequented by Russian soldiers, amid growing signs of a resistance movement inside the swathes of Ukraine controlled by Moscow.
Russia described the explosion as a “terror attack” on Russian-held territory in Ukraine, with a Ukrainian military official saying the café has been used by Russian leaders who have “had lunch there since the first days” of the occupation.
“Today's explosion shows that the fight will not stop for a second or a minute. Kherson Oblast is Ukraine,” he said following the attack.

That has been my concern for Ukraine. Can they minimize losses enough that incoming replacement troops have a chance to learn under the experienced guys.

Do you jerk off to a picture of Putin every night? Just curious. Sorry but from what I’ve seen Russian troops look like an absolute embarrassment. The ones that aren’t sent out to be cannon fodder are destroying their own vehicles so they don’t have to advance. Yes Russia has an advantage in artillery no question but they are old as shite systems that even as you said have to carpet bomb to hit their targets while the Ukrainians, with less artillery, have better quality that are far more precise in what they hit with far fewer shells needed to accomplish the task.
