Parade of future scrap metal.

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

Bleed Russia in the East, recapture the South.
"In the video you can see 6 SPG #Caesar loaded on a train. He does not give any explanation about the date or place, but they are surely the 6 extra Caesar that Macron promised to send to Ukraine during his visit to the country a few days ago."
Fortunately I don't think any of these disclosures have panned out yet.

More on the boats the US is shipping to Ukraine.
The Mark VI is a class of patrol boat in service with the United States Navy, designed to patrol riverine and littoral waters. The first two Mark VI boats were delivered to Coastal Riverine Group TWO in September 2015.
The Mark VI is 84.8 ft (25.8 m) long, significantly longer than previous classes of Navy patrol boats. It has a crew of 10 sailors and can carry 8 additional personnel.
The interior is spacious, with berthing for the crew and shock-absorbing seats for other occupants; the seats and sound-deadening berthing spaces and galley allow the crew to operate in relatively high sea states while attenuating crew fatigue and risk of injury.
The boats are fully networked with a command, control, communication and computing, surveillance and intelligence (C4SI) suite for enhanced situational awareness, survivability, and multi-mission support which includes flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the ship. Payloads can be configured to fulfill missions ranging from mine-hunting to defending against swarm boat attacks.
Standard armament consists of two remote-controlled Mk 38 Mod 2 25 mm chain guns and six crewed M2 .50 caliber machine guns. Depending on mission needs, gun mounts can hold M240 machine guns, M134 miniguns, and Mk 19 grenade launchers.
The Mark VI is equipped with the MK50 Gun Weapon System (GWS), a shipboard version of the vehicle-mounted M153 CROWS remote turret that enables crewmen to use its camera and gun from the operator's station below deck.
The aluminum-hulled Mark VI is powered by two MTU 16V2000M94 diesel engines connected to water jets that propel it faster than 35 knots (40 mph; 65 km/h), with a maximum range of 600 nmi (690 mi; 1,100 km).

The American Navy dude would tear that pussy a new a-hole in about 33 seconds.
The Polish Krab self propelled howitzer.
"I don't even ask the guys in these factories they probably work day and night so that the appropriate number of howitzers go to the warehouses, and then they go to the ordering parties."

Not surprising if true but did find that they had already held exercises there in April. Could be a dangerous game they are playing.
Ukraine war: Kyiv orders forces to withdraw from Severodonetsk
Severodonetsk is the current focus of Russia as it tries to take control of eastern Ukraine.

Good for the UK, but it’s up to Turkey at this point.
I just finished a book about IS tank forces in WW2. During the two great thrusts it wasn’t unheard of to move 70-100 miles in a day. Russia is slogging away for kilometers per week. And, we keep hearing about villages gained. A lot of these victories are taking over a village that has a dozen houses. Yes, some cities are being lost, but I just do not see how the Russians keep up their burn rate of men and machines, and hold these minimal advances.
Things my neighbor said to my wife today.
The reason Putin is invading Ukraine is to stop human trafficking and that we are going to learn he's not so bad.
My wife is half Ukrainian.

IMHO their neighbor is naive and believes Russian propaganda. (The nicest way I could say it.)
