what im seeing...
the ukr forces in the east are working as 5 army groups (multi brigade with support) unit numbers are made up for ease of ID
1st Army is in the defense holding kherson
2nd army in the south is building up, prep fires and waiting for the winter freeze
3rd army is fighting a defense battle against the mobile russian forces.
4th will move soon due to being north and will have the ground freeze first
5th is a defense army covering the belgrod front and acting as backup..
again this is oversimplified but it gets the point out that different sectors will move when they have the ability or orders to do so... relax things are working well overall. we are all waiting for the next push, but it has to be done right.

i collect ammo, and i have everything from US 8inch rounds to russian 152 to 20mm and lots more. i have never seen a plastic case till this year
the fact is that russia moved thousands of tons if not over a million tons of ammo to the LPR and DPR, they had thousands of rail cars full of ammo all moving to ukr and offloaded into ASPs.. this was a HUGE part of the ammo they had for wartime ops...
question of the day...
why is this guy still employed???
after a statement like this "russia may open a second front by attacking nato with ground troops, so we cant give ukr any more gear". ukrainetoday.org/2022/09/16/ger…
really??? with what units??? ALL major ground force units that can fight are now in ukr or on the border. ru has no major commands left that can fight!!! NONE!!!
in addition, they have already found out that a gen mob would tear the country appart. so no,, as long as ukr troops are not in russia no gen mob, at all
all missiles are NOT THE SAME. please stop. this morning you have a vid of a german gun system taking out a russian missile, then you have a russian vid showing russian ADA TRYING to take out a himars rocket and some people are going .. see the same thing. NO
the german system took out a cruise missile, built like a drone it uses air and flies at relatively low speed along the horizon. that is russian old tec that has been rehashed and is a dud. US drone targets at ranges fly faster than them at gunnery in the US.
that is a easy target for a gun with a fragmentation body and proximity fuse system on a radar guided gun. they will hit it if it comes in its engagement area.
i have been posting about this for about 2-3 months. it was only a mater of time till ukr was able to do this. ukr has a huge aviation sector and building drones with longer and longer range was only a mater of time. now how many can they build? im thinking lots.
with more advanced manufacturing, a 60 country parts base, motivated workers, and a history of making things happen ukr will have many MANY long range attack drones in the sky faster than russia will be able to counter them.
combat class.
lots of talk about air defense and how it works by "experts". just to set things straight..
MOST ADA rockets DO NOT HIT TARGETS. they are flying anti personal bombs, like a claymore. they have a warhead but normally its not in front. it blows up when passing the AC. this allows a spray of steel or copper to cover a huge area for a better hit.
with military aircraft you have .. engine, control areas, fuel, ammo, and pilot.. just hit one and the AC is going down. if you have a rocket that goes for a direct hit all the time you will have a lot of misses
