Russia-Ukraine War

Edit: sorry just to clarify the arsenal 16km away was the recent one hit so that's 2 last night and 3 in total recently. Still a good week 👍

So two arsenal's 16km apart. And that's seperate to the one down south? So 3 last night plus a 4th recently? Is that correct?

That doesn’t sound like drones in the video

Eh, I think you've double-counted the first one. Toropets (Tver) No.1 the other day, still burning; Toropets No.2 last night/this morning ; Tikhoretsk (Krasnodar) last night/this morning.

It looks to me like this is the Ukranians applying the "road to Kyyv" strategy all over again. They know the Russians are shyte at "last mile" logistics, have traditionally depended on being able to steamroll their way into occupied territory and then hijack the local rail network to funnel supplies forward.

The Ukranians created a traffic jam on the road to Kyyv and fecked the whole plan up without having to get involved in any full scale battles. Now they're doing the same - draining the frontline forces of men, munitions and machines; sabotaging railway lines, and targetting fuel storage facilities, making it increasingly difficult for the troops at the frontline to remain effective.

Apart from destroying the munitions, attacking these sites has rendered them useless as logisitical hubs for the foreseeable future. This will inevitably force the Russians to redirect supplies to fewer and fewer sites, probably further away from the front line, with onward transport along narrower and narrower corridors.

I think Ukraine has decided to stick to largely drone-based defensive battles while they concentrate on starving the Russian attackers into eventual submission.

The fact that these ammo dumps were full way beyond capacity shows that the Russians DIDN'T really have an ammo shortage , although these were probably also the logistics centres for all the north Korean ammo coming in , if Ukraine have gotten most of the ballistic missiles and more of anti-aircraft missiles it'll be a huge plus ..

Russia HAD huge stocks of missiles for s300 and s400 systems , and obviously is making them as fast as they can - but apparently they are burning through them at an alarming rate - firing million euro+ missiles at Gmlrs missiles and even drones ,gets fairly out of hand pretty damn quick ..

Apparently even their s300 stocks could be a bit constrained , they need to be refurbished, every decade or so .. which takes time , and apparently they fire them at everything right down to unguided 120mm rockets ,

You're right they'll never be out , but stretching them is the quay , I assume part of the north Korean munitions thing ,is to be able to use obsolete artillery pieces ,that the Russians may not have huge stockpiles of ,

I don't think north Korea uses a lot of standard russian 152mm shells ..

And I wonder would they tool up to make 152mm

Hell yeah!😎

One would hope so. If there's some truth to that and Intel shared with the west, the west need to come out publicly and state any attack by Russia on Ukranian nuclear facilities will be defended by western aircraft etc...

No point in the west sitting on the sidelines. Defending them after they have been attacked would be useless.

Yeah, it's clever tactics. Who knows what's next. Bridges and train depots or something.

101 drones shot down according to the Russians.... seeing the effects I really hope Russia keeps "shooting" down these drones

The kind of crap that a stroppy eight year-old would spout after some other kid nicked his ball.

They really are cretins, and probably drunk ones at that.

Play stupid games…….

Saying in the comments he was being sexually assaulted with a broom handle live to his relatives in the US for the purpose of extorting money from them. Went too far and then the rest.

No interest in peace from Russia... I seem to remember a lot of posts earlier on the thread bemoaning reluctance from Ukraine to negotiate with Russia, when it was obvious Russia had zero interest in negotations and was effectively demanding surrender.

All gone quiet for... reasons.

RUSSIA TODAY SAID it would not attend a possible second Ukraine peace summit in November, despite Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky signalling that this time he would invite Moscow’s representatives.

It seems like Ukraine has developed a new tactic to devastating effect on Russian military logistics. These long range drones, that we previously seen flying solo, are now being mass produced and released in swarms against major munitions dumps deep inside Russia. We've seen three major arms depots destroyed, taking out tens of thousands of tons of of Russian missiles and bombs, depriving Russia of strike capability.

I don't know what's in Zelensky's victory plan. But if it adds onto what we've seen in the past couple of days then Russia must be very worried. Nowhere in Russia is safe
