Looks like a dystopian movie scene with the ferris wheel....
This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

It’s like urban America: double-digit shots fired but nobody is killed
That's also the sound of deer season in rural Iowa.
I don't fully believe this yet but did find another report. Maybe it is based on the other one
Bet Ukraine will find them eventually.
"The RCH 155 is a modern protected howitzer that combines the firepower and range of the automatic and remote-controllable Artillery Gun Module (AGM) with the protection and mobility of the field-tested BOXER wheeled armored vehicle.
As noted by the company, a large ammunition supply and rapid replenishment, the stable gun platform, maximum aiming precision, autoloader, combined with autonomy in navigation and fire control make the RCH 155 the new standard for modern wheeled barrelled artillery.
KMW says the howitzer is one of the world’s most advanced barrelled artillery systems.
RCH 155 can fire up to 8 rounds per minute to a range of up to 40 km with standard ammunition that is achievable with a howitzer. An increased range of up to 56 km is possible with Very Long-range Artillery Projectiles (VLAP)."
I'd bet US sat-intel has already informed them where they are...
Something tells me they already know the new location…..
Afraid I will jinx it but there seems to be a lot of good news today.
"A road is being made between Kherson and Nikolaev to bypass the destroyed bridge, the Kherson OVA reported."
"A road is being made between Kherson and Nikolaev to bypass the destroyed bridge, the Kherson OVA reported."
I think the Ukrainians made up the term just during this war.
Those T90 tanks are very good tanks. Not up to the Leopard, K2 or M1A, but very formidable
Can you explain in a basic nutshell why the T90 is more formidable than the others, but less than the others? I imagine it has to do with reactive armor and software/electronics.*

America's Mighty M-1 Abrams Tank vs. Russia's Lethal T-90: Who Wins?
This could be the ultimate tank battle.

The weak link will be the crew. With their losses and total lack of training infrastructure and time, new crews are going into battle with less than 2 weeks training. I'd imagine the newer latest tech a tank has, the more training and instruction required. Without several months of training, these things will just get stuck/destroyed as quickly as 50 year old T62s.
"The Marine Corps is keeping a close eye on the flow of donated weapons and spare parts to Ukraine to make sure their own service doesn’t run low, the service’s top officer said Wednesday.
“The impact there is not just on how many systems we have, but also parts. We have to monitor very closely because it’s like you have another army or another Marine Corps that you’re feeding,” Gen. David Berger, the commandant, told reporters at a Defense Writers Group event. “So at the same time we look at the number of systems and how’s that going to affect us and our war plans and our training, we also have to look at the parts and will that affect our own readiness, our own material readiness.”
Marine howitzers and other weapons are among the billions of dollars’ worth of aid sent to Ukraine in the wake of Russia’s February invasion.
Lt. Col. Garron Garn, a Pentagon spokesperson, said Wednesday they could not detail each service’s donations, citing “operational security considerations.”
Ukraine can request spare parts for their U.S. weapons through American soldiers in Poland.
The Pentagon’s own stockpiles of 155mm artillery shells and some missiles are “dwindling,” CNN reported last month.
Berger said some people have been surprised at Ukraine’s heavy use of unguided artillery rounds in an era of precision weaponry.
“War’s not like that,” he said. “This is a slugfest. This is a human fight.”

Backfired: Putin’s Prison Recruits Spiral Out of Russia’s Control

We aren't even close to running out of weapons. All we've sent have been stuff we were just looking to offload anyhow.
