This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

Yesterday was a bad day to be a Russian artillery man.

They may not be as sexy as other categories, but every vehicle matters.

"Chairman of the Southern Operation Command Humenyuk said that Ukrainian troops were trying to push back Russian troops 3-8 km from the Dnipro River, throughout the region of #Kherson ."

The Kherson region is very fertile for Ukrainian advances. The local population seems more likely and able to assist versus some in the East who have been under occupation for 10 years.
 
In depth piece suggesting that Russia is stripping Kaliningrad of S-400 missile systems to replace losses in the Donbas and Crimea. The Ukrainians have been pounding these systems with HIMARS, and even a commando raid in Crimea. This follows on systems moved from the Kuril Islands in the Far East to the front lines.
How long do Russian military leaders allow their forces to be destroyed and hollowed out?
 

Ukraine war live updates: Russia says it’s ‘destroying’ Ukrainians that crossed into occupied territory, vowing to inflict ‘hell’ on them​


Fierce fighting has erupted between Russian forces and Ukrainian units that crossed over the Dnieper River to the Russian-occupied eastern bank of the river in the southern Kherson region.

Battles are concentrated around a number of villages on the east or left bank of the river where Ukraine has managed to establish several footholds, but Russian forces are now reported to be pounding those positions.

A Russian-installed official in the occupied part of Kherson said Russian forces were “destroying” Ukrainian forces “on the largest scale” in the village of Krynky, where he claimed they had been trapped.

Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War painted a picture of mixed fortunes for Ukrainian forces in the area, citing Ukrainian officials, Russian military bloggers closely following developments in the war and open-source evidence.

In other news, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that any internal and external attempts to interfere with the 2024 presidential election in Russia will be suppressed.

Putin said any measures necessary will be taken to prevent any illegal obstruction of the election, including any pressure applied to the electoral process. Russia has long been accused of interfering in the electoral processes of other countries, particularly the U.S. vote in 2016, although it denies the allegations.

Ukraine has claimed initiative in Black Sea and forced Russian navy to pull back​

The president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said on Thursday that Ukraine had seized the initiative from Russia in the Black Sea and forced Russia’s naval fleet to pull back in the eastern part of the sea.

“For the first time in the world, it was in the Black Sea that a fleet of naval drones began to operate – a Ukrainian fleet,” Zelenskiy wrote on the Telegram.

“I would also like to note that now – as one of the main results of our actions – Russia is unable to use the Black Sea as a springboard to destabilise other regions of the world.”

 
Is it me or are the sizes of explosion from the Israeli weapons much larger than the explosions from the Ukrainian weapons?

I don't know the answer to this but years ago was suprised to read that German explosives were more powerful than Great Britain's at the beginning of WW2. I just assumed explosives were explosives.
