WarGonzo: Lyman is fucked, Russia has reportedly been forced from Yampol, Drobyshevo has either fallen or soon will.
Alexander Kots:
▶️Lyman encircled, Yampil abandoned, Drobysheve falling
▶️Ukrainian sabotage-reconnaissance groups active along supply road to Svatove, parts of which under AFU artillery control
▶️Russia inexplicably wasting missiles and drones elsewhere.
WarGonzo: Drobysheve has fallen. Lyman under full assault and supply lines being destroyed.
Putin pulled a Hitler and ordered no retreat and now the bulk of the forces holding the front are about to be captured or killed and their armour will become a new Ukrainian brigade.

Pentagon on mobilization: "If you think about the consequences that they kind of feel that they're in right now and you compare that to World War I and World War II, that certainly says a lot about what the Ukrainians have been able to do to the Russian Army." Image
Pentagon: "It's much harder to generate that force than I think folks will say...The mechanics of outfitting that size of a force is very difficult...The majority of the people who would train those individuals, those individuals are in Ukraine."

Image
Pentagon: "We haven't seen an increase [in armour]...The Ukrainians have done a pretty good job of destroying Russian equipment over the course of the last seven plus months. And as you would guess, that equipment is in most cases irreplaceable."

I wonder if this is still true. Would they actually be crazy enough to invade the North again with even less combat-capable forces?
The Union State seems to be mobilizing. Looks like they are going to go for Kyiv again, this time alongside Belarus?

Gigachad Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi and Lieutenant General Mykhailo Zabrodskyi call for ATACMS and other long-range strike assets in order to negate Russia's true "Center of Gravity" and end the war.

Nothing else will do it. ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/356…
"It’s precisely this [long-range strike] capability that should be considered as the Russian army’s Center of Gravity from a military standpoint. As long as the current situation persists, this war can last for years."

"Russia’s...Center of Gravity...lies in the war’s 'remote' nature for most average Russians. Thanks to this lack of proximity, they perceive not so painfully all the losses, failures, and...costs of this war in all its senses."

Pavel Luzin: Russia's Soviet ammunition stocks, especially of 122 mm and 152 mm shells, have been depleted since 2002 and especially after Chechnya, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014, Syria, and now this: theins.ru/en/politics/25… Image
Luzin: Given estimates of shell production/restoration and firing rates (>7 million shells since Feb. 24), Russia will face severe shortages in artillery shells by December 2022.

This is even without counting munitions destroyed in Ukrainian strikes.
Image
Luzin: Aside from shell shortages, there is also wear on artillery systems and Russian logistics and maintenance leaving much to be desired.

Apparently, the practice of regularly using S-300/400 as land-attack systems began at least 5 years ago.
