Yes it did. The RAF was on the ropes.

Ukraine appears to have Russia on its heels in different areas of the front. Meanwhile China and Russia talk and there’s no big news.

Key Takeaways
Russian President Vladimir Putin and the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) President Xi Jinping failed to reach an agreement on the Power of Siberia-2 pipeline and signed only comparatively minor bilateral agreements during Putin’s official visit to the PRC.
Ukrainian forces appear to be regaining the tactical initiative in different sectors of the frontline in Ukraine. Ukrainian forces advanced in the Kupyansk direction, the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area, and in western Zaporizhia Oblast. Russian forces advanced in the Sumy and Pokrovsk directions.
Russian forces launched one ballistic missile and 154 drones toward Ukraine overnight and an additional 84 drones during the day.

the last portion of the link discusses cutting the northern supply route to Crimea...
his opinion/conclusion....
It’s hard to see any other outcome, except, Ukrainian medium range drones dominating the M-14 and the spur to Crimea (the E105) will inevitably shut down that route. It is an obvious target, we can see them working in this direction, the Ukrainians have demonstrated the have the technology and they know how to use it effectively, and the Russians demonstrably cannot prevent the Ukrainians from making more drones.
At the pace the Ukrainians work, and accounting for weather and the rest of war, a conservative estimate is a lockdown of Crimea’s northern supply routes will be effective in 6–9 months. It could be faster.

Here's the latest innovation for increasing the range. At first we laugh, but then remember the effectiveness of the Russian air defense in this area.

The upshot of this will be hitting all trucks. They may be doing it already. One thing for sure, as soon as it happens, we'll have the videos from the Ukrainians. And the squealing from the Russians.

It's been obvious Putin has feared his population turning on him, so all this footage is great to see. And remember, they're risking harsh penalties for speaking out, which adds weight to how concerned they are.

I guess they just skipped past the whole light sabre rollout...
We know it's going to work. We don't want to believe it, but we have no choice.

Ukraine presented the Behemoth strike drone, a domestic Shahed-type system with range up to 300 km, 75 kg payload, speed up to 200 km/h and operating altitude of 90-300 m.
The drone can fly in FPV or autonomous mode, uses Starlink for communications and carries a tandem warhead combining a shaped-charge penetrator and thermobaric munition.
That's some serious hate there.

The Master Strategist strikes again. The crown jewel of the Russian economy is now 6.7 trillion rubles in debt, over 200% of earnings.
"6.7 trillion rubles in debt" translated into Russian is "bankrupt". When this war is over, the fight over this carcass will rival Bahkmut in casualty count.

Inside a plant making Zmii ground drones: how miners have set up a robot production facility in Lviv Oblast
A group of former miners from Lviv Oblast have built a plant to produce military ground robotic systems, which are known to the Ukrainian military as Zmii (Serpent).
Ground robotic systems are expected to plan a pivotal role in Ukraine's defence industry this year. In the first half of the year alone, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence is set to purchase 25,000 robots – double the total for the whole of the previous year.
Ukrainian engineers have come a long way from their first imperfect machines to more mature systems. Today robots evacuate the wounded, transport thousands of tonnes of cargo, support assaults on positions and even take Russian troops prisoner.

Do you still believe you have better war casualty information than Trump and Rubio? If so lots of us on here would like to see it.
