The impact of the HIMARS. Ukrainian leaders can't stop saying thank you.



I hope we can keep the pipeline flowing with such weapons. From the reports I've read recently, it appears russia is running out of steam. If so, now is the time increase the pressure.

The thank you starts at about 3:45 into the video.

Don't believe anything until russia denies it (and don't believe anything once russia claims it).

Russia has claimed a ukr tank kill number that is something like 104% of all tanks ukr started with combined with what have been donated and captured.

Yet ukr still has brigades of tanks. Pretty good trick.

Maybe even take some more territory. But the rubber bands are stretched really thin. And ukr is about to bring a lot of fresh fighters and equipment into the arena.

Surely that was for russian public consumption. But lets not laugh too hard. It will still be a long grind.
