Kinda wondering if the fact that the bridge is still out of range is why they haven’t been sent yet.
Might see the decision suddenly made to send if UA got within range.

I’m not sure who is worse, Sullivan or KJP. She feels like she’s entitled to only answer the questions she feels like answering even though it’s her one and only job to speak to the media. Take that binder away from her and she probably couldn’t tell you who the President is but she somehow is deemed qualified to do that job.

I’m almost certain that we have secret agreements with Russia on limits on our arm shipments. Russia ensures they won’t escalate the war as long as we don’t send ATACMS or certain radar systems. shite like that.

Thanks. I learned something new.

Well if that’s the case then they won’t be sent for a long time at the rate of advance that is taking place. 20 miles could take a year or more with how static things are. They don’t need the bridge to go down to achieve a lot of their goals though. If they can get to Robotyne they just about have Melitopol in HIMARS range which can really make things more difficult on the Russians.

I understand the idea that (mass dropped) paratroopers are and maybe never have been significantly useful but that really is looking at it through the risk-averse lens of today
Airborne troops were very useful on DDay. They accomplished their goals.
At Market Garden they almost pulled off one of the greatest operations in modern military history. Poor intel put them near resting German divisions where they had no chance.

That’s what they got for letting Monty take charge. They assumed they would only be facing Hitler Youth and reserve non frontline troops but they got dropped pretty much right on top of 2 SS panzer divisions. Meanwhile Monty had his armor trying to all come down a single road.

…so is anything else happening with this?
Seems like there would be all sort of pics and reports coming in if a “major assault” with NATO equipment was launched

Our intel was reading the German mail; yet they didn’t know two divisions were near the drop zone!!!!

The LSU Alumni Association has a Danube River cruise coming up in October that goes through Constanta. May want to hold off on putting down a deposit.

So now Putin is going to attack the North Pole and go after Santa Clause???? WTF

The CIA got Santa to do sophisticated electronic surveillance for NATO.
Plus, the elvish workers union decided to make cluster warheads for Ukraine in their off hours, when they weren't making toys.

They better get back to work because it looks like they lost some.
What specifically about this explosion, as opposed to the many others we have seen, shows that it is cluster munitions that were hit?
Edit: Clarity

All the bomblets exploding in the air after being thrown up by the initial explosion.

Claimed to be the same area a year ago

Reported as Yemen 2015

Reported as Kalynivka Sept. 27, 2017 - not quite as dramatic

Point being, similar secondary explosions do not appear uncommon and all we know at this point is that something went boom without more evidence that the secondary explosions were cluster munitions, such as debris.
If anything, the similar explosion reportedly at the same location over a year ago would suggest it wasn't cluster munitions.
