Did the Ukrainians also have intel about the looming ammo shortage beforehand? Did seem like they were putting a fair bit more effort targeting Russian ammo dumps over the past week
First was an ammo depot going up at Krasny Luch last week…
Then almost certainly another Russian ammo depot, this time at Svatove over the weekend
And now one more going boom at Zymogorye (Zymohir'ya), again in Luhansk
Two targets hit accurately and almost simultaneously? Sure sounds like one suspect is most likely responsible
NASA FIRMS showing fires at both Zimogorye (Zymohir'ya) and Rodakove as at 0722 GMT ImageImage
Fire(s) in the circled area ImageImage
Confirmation of a successful strike yesterday against a valid target at Rodakovo (Rodakove)
Another day, another long range Ukrainian strike on a valid Russian military target.

Meanwhile, Russia launches guided missiles at shopping malls
Back to Zymogorye (Zymohir'ya): Sentinel imagery from yesterday (2nd and 3rd images here) showing huge fire at exactly where FIRMS pinpointed it. Additional fires/hotspots (red) visible on Short Wave Infra Red (SWIR) nearby possibly from rockets launching after cooking off ImageImageImage
HIMARS a game changer. Who’d have thought it…
And again. Stakhanov (Kadiivka). Lots of secondary explosions (the popping sounds) means almost certainly another ammo storage was hit
Revisiting the sites at Zymogorye (Zymohir'ya) and Rodakove (Rodakovo) that were struck a couple of days back. It's no exaggeration to say both targets were obliterated by whatever blew up and burned after the suspected Ukrainian long-range strikes
Popasna apparently. That’s another big boom
Confirmation that HIMARS was responsible for the strike on Zymogorye (Zymohir'ya) wsj.com/articles/new-u… Image
The strike on the recruits in barracks could be this predawn one in Perevalsk which caused “many wounded”?
FIRMS has noted another big fire north of the famous Chernobaevka Airport near Kherson. Possible geolocation to this group of buildings circled (46.7028, 32.5256), dropped pin marks location where photo of smoke was taken .@GeoConfirmed ImageImageImageImage
Note the popping sounds. Means another Russian ammo dump ate rocket(s). World’s smallest violin plays
4th of July fireworks in Snizhne

Another day, another Russian ammo dump ~70km from the frontlines goes boom.
Yes there was one at Melitopol near the airfield yesterday. Detonations of several incoming munitions and subsequent big fire on video, but AFAIK there were no secondary detonations to indicate it was an ammo storage hit
Artillery shells scattered all over the ground at the destroyed facility at Zymogorye (Zymohir'ya), confirming it was an ammo dump that was hit by Ukrainian HIMARS
Above video verified and geolocated to Zymogorye (Zymohir'ya) at 48.5630, 38.9448. Red arrow indicates camera car direction of travel .@GeoConfirmed ImageImageImageImage
Another one for Stakhanov (Kadiivka)
Reportedly near Dibrovne, Kharkiv. Frontline ammo point, but they all count
And Russian ammo cooking off in Donetsk, again
Confirmation that Donetsk yesterday was another ammo dump in the middle of a populated area. Watch your step!

Wild story about a missing Russian Mi-8
If this was indeed the helicopter involved pictured then Mi-8AMTsh 62 Red should be RF-04428
The camo demarcation in the area around the starboard cockpit matches up

Insane helmet/body cam footage of what is purported to be a Su-25 pilot ejecting. Looks like a Russian jet, screenshots in next tweet
Looks like Bort No 09 Red, V markings on engine inlet and tail. Serious fire coming out of port engine
There are two VKS Su-25 Frogfoots carrying Bort No 09 Red from a quick search, these being

Su-25SM RF-91965
Su-25SM3 RF-93025

Looks like this was a strike by a submunition from a Bonus or SMART 155 shell
Both work relatively similarly, the difference being SMART 155 submunitions deploy parachutes before searching for targets while BONUS submunitions deploy winglets
At the 3 second mark of the video, you can see a submunition exploding to deploy its EFP payload (yellow circle) and the target exploding below as it was hit (red circle)

Said something to that effect when all that nonsense was being said about there not being enough time to train the Ukrainians on western systems
Also said this then. Any training on artillery and/or MLRS/HIMARS will not be for newbies out of basic, but to experienced arty guys with 8 years of institutional knowledge of arty use in combat

Looks like the Russians were aiming the the (Kredmash) factory at Kremenchuk when the 1st of two of their shitty Kh-22 missiles hit the mall while the 2nd struck the fringes of their target

See clip from 0.33-0.55. Geolocation coming up 1/x
Red arrow: 1st explosion
Blue arrow: 2nd explosion

2/x
Red X: first explosion (mall)
Blue X: second explosion

Large fire following an alleged Ukrainian strike on a Russian ammo storage geolocated to Svatove, Luhansk Oblast. Yellow line = camera line of sight, Red X = suspected target (49.39344, 38.17779) .@GeoConfirmed ImageImage
Going closer the vegetation and patch of roof with a different colour on the building in the foreground can be seen ImageImage
FWIW the target is within HIMARS and Tochka-U range from, say, Slovyansk Image
