re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

So Russia had 11 months worth of shells in storage and being produced. The war will be 6 months old next month. So even if the HIMARs were not destroying Russian ammo dumps every night the Russians would start running low on shells this fall and be out of shells in January. However, the HIMARs are destroying Russian ammo dumps every night so those timelines should move up some.
However, it's the logistics that is going to get the Russians. 1000 railroad cars per month is probably not a hard feat for Russia to come up with, but 15,000 trucks per month probably is. Especially since the railroads to the Kherson axis and the Zaporizhia axis have been cut due to the explosions last week. Russia is now going to have to use take at least 5000 trucks per month to move shells the 400 km from Feodosia to Kherson. That is a tall order even if the bridges around the Kherson axis weren't destroyed.

The biggest shocker to me is France. The reason being that France has long had a healthy and active armaments for sale industry. Additionally, France does project military power beyond its borders, even as for hire like in UAE as its defense force.
France is more concerned with losing its influence in Africa than it is Ukraine.

Its not surprising you threw out a meaningless sentence.; Exactly what I expect from you.
Do you understand anything about the Glorious Revolution, or why the claim that Henry the VIII specifically made England 'socially distinct' from Europe is both idiotic and not supported by the actions of England (and technically Wales in 1542) and later the United Kingdom itself? Or how it isn't supported in general, given how the Celtic Nations include areas of mainland Europe, how much Norman French influenced English (up to 45% of our vocabulary) or the English language's closest linguistic branch is a language only in Continental Europe? Or how that notion isn't even supported by who happened to rule the Isles, as even Henry the VIII was descended from a family whose origin was Norman. Alas, I don't expect you do. It's an intensely stupid argument.
Also, are you going to accuse me of googling my answers again, you dumb bitch? Still waiting on that proof.

Notwithstanding that the present royal family of England is known to many in the UK as the Germans.

The highest, though unintentional, compliments I have been paid on this forum is when people have accused me of Googling my answers and passing them off as mine.
Russia accuses Kyiv of poisoning some of its soldiers in Ukraine.
quote:
The Russian defence ministry said a number of Russian servicemen had been taken to a military hospital with signs of serious poisoning on July 31. Tests showed a toxic substance, botulinum toxin type B, in their bodies, it said.
Why can't they provide their soldiers with their own rations... or is that the issue?

It looks like UKR used a Chinese made drone to blow the Russian Black Sea Naval HQ up

Their whole run was hilarious. The Army games have given me so much laughter over the last few days.
Venezuela has been equally as incompetent. There are targets they have to hit with their coax machine gun and I swear if they were shooting at me I would rather be wearing hunter's orange from head to toe than camo because they hit everything but what they were shooting at.
Then there was the Russian T72 that broke down. God help all these poor bastards that can't even play war right.

Explosions reported near Kherson Region’s Chornobaivka
The relevant statement was made by Kherson Regional Council Member Serhii Khlan on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
The local public pages are sharing the photographs and video, showing smoke from at least three explosions.

Looks like ammo dump hit - I think this is the third time for chornobaivka, just outside of Kherson.

Russians planned to conduct a military parade on Kyiv's central street Khreshchatyk. And they did. Yet there's a nuance. The parade of destroyed Russian military machines is a part of this year's Ukraine's Independence Day celebration, planned for Aug. 24.

Looks like Ukraine is celebrating early because it's likely that Russia will launch some missiles at Kyiv on Wednesday.

Do the Ukes have the necessary ability to control the airspace enough to deploy Hogs? I don't know much about tactics and strategy above tree top level but it seems like they would be very vulnerable to fast movers. I know they have chaff and flares along with MWS and JMR maybe ECM too but they just seem like easy pickings for MiGs. The only times I needed A-10 support was when we had complete air supremacy so I don't know if it is needed or not.

All you need for fertilizer are some chickens and goats and a fallow field then legumes then corn rotate annually. Some things like winter peas can also be used as part of the rotation. No fertilizer needed. Should be common practice around the world.
