Prof. Phillips Peyson OBrien on the big boom near Kherson the other night.

While the Prof nails it I'll just mention one detail. The attacks come at night so orc drones can't locate the Ukraine artillery. Even if the orcs could locate the guns from the artillery fire Ukraine will have moved the HIMRS by the time the orcs can launch their inaccurate shells. Shoot and Scoot.

1. Ukrainians are trying to eliminate artillery, weaponry, and the enemy . . ...

occupying their homeland and Russia targets innocent Ukrainian citizens.

4. I remember what happened to the 10 mile convoy in the battle

of Kyiv.

10. They can't make that blunder again

Can they?

3. Slava Ukraini! Thank you for the update.

5. Russia has not moved its depots despite knowing the Ukrainians are targeting them.

The Russians don't seem to adapt very well to current war conditions.
They leave their fuel and ammo in very obvious places. Sitting ducks.

7. Except for using trucks instead of horse drawn wagons

Their logistics system for arty shells is the same as it was in the 19th century. And they are running out of trucks.

8. I know, it is astounding to watch the Russian military.

On paper they were a world class army. In real life, not so much.

I am still trying to figure out why they did not use their air power in the initial days of the invasion.

Yes it looks like they are running out of trucks, maybe fuel and ammo too. Or maybe the field commanders are all in their tents drinking vodka. They seem to be asleep at the wheel. Everyone in the world knows Ukraine is going after RU depots.

9. It is a bit of a mystery. I knew on the second day when they

Hadn't destroyed the Ukraine Air Force that something was amiss with the vaunted Russian military.

11. Yep, Russian AF is ranked #2 in the world, Ukraine's AF ranked #27.

Right it was clear early on in the invasion, RU AF no where to be seen, they had not captured the airfields, no air control of Ukraine skies, etc.

The lack of RU control of the skies over Ukraine led to lack of ground control too.

Really it is one of the big mysteries of the war.

6. Those HIMRS are already making a difference.

And there's only what, 4 of them?

Just imagine if ...
