Oh heck yes, AFU is hunting Russian H2O trucks! ⬇️

@secretsqrl123 has sussed out the Russian potable water supply chain and it involves a thrown together bubba engineering with palletized IBC containers used by restaurants for vegetable oil.

Russian H2O supply chain🧵

1/
This is an ICB container.⬇️

Six were on that Russian truck.

Likely they were man-handled onto the truck empty, lashed down, and filled by hose.

2/ Image
This is a Russian IBC water container that was burnt to nothing in a forest fire.

The RuAF Bubba-engineering IBC water truck rolls up to one of these and refills it with a gravity fed hose.

Note the steel pail & bottles to move water to trenches⬇️

Armies with real mechanized logistics have figured out water trailers are logistically more cost efficient to trade out empty for full trailers.

Russia doesn't use truck trailers for regime security reasons.

See explanation 🧵⬇️

The IBC container water _IS_NOT_ for Meat Assault Mobiks.

It is for the permanent garrison of officers and contract troops of a section of the front line trenches.

Meat Assault Mobiks are given 3-to-5 days of water...
5/
...because they are human ammunition not expected to survive.

Full water in containers heat up and cool slower than the air around it.

So at dawn and sun down H20 containers are very detectable by drone thermal viewers.
6/
BLUF:

The Russian potable water logistics are easily interdicted with drones if Ukraine wishes too.

And that @DefMon3 video makes clear, Ukraine is now hunting the entire Russian H2) logistical supply chain.


7/
The BOLO going forward is more Russian complaints of water borne disease from a Ukrainian caused shortage of potable water.

8/8 End

I've been asked to post my four appearances on Paul Woodadge's @WW2TV youtube channel to X.

This was about MacArthur's "Wild Weasel" radar hunters before the term was invented.

Dr Bellamy was PhD heavy lifter here.

Section 22 Radar Hunters


1/
This is the story of Master Technical Sergeant Dermott H. MacDonnell and how his performance as chief radar operator for Marine Air Group 23’s (MAG-23) SCR-270 radar...

The Horseshoe Nail of Victory of the Guadalcanal Air Campaign

2/
...made the difference between keeping and losing daylight air superiority over Henderson Field in the darkest days of the Guadalcanal campaign.

And why you don't know this.

What you are seeing here is the world changing as the barriers to entry to strategic bombing fall.

OWA Drones carry 1/5th the warhead of a Tomahawk just as far for 1/10th the cost.

There are many who say this means OWA drone can't hurt enough target sets to be effective.
1/
Strategic bombing history says otherwise.

Incendiary devices were 10 times as effective at destroying urban areas than high explosive per unit mass per the US Strategic Bombing Surveys'.

2/ Image
Sending twice the warhead mass of incendiaries of a unitary explosive warhead Tomahawk for the same price is 20 times as effective and requires 10 times the air defense missile warshot or gun based ammunition to protect any target.

The use of crippled/wounded Russian men as soldiers is not the only or even the most important indicator that Russia has hit the mobilization wall⬇️

Nor are female prisoners, foreign mercs or DPRK soldiers.

Russia is now deploying Hitlerjugend-esque child-soldiers.

Wall🧵
1/
This trial use of 17 year olds by Putin reported by Ukraine's Center for National Resistance (CNR) closely mirrors the Hitlerjugend Division of the Waffen SS in the Normandy summer of 1944.

The end game of this desperation measure...

...in Feb/Mar 1945 was the Waffen SS using 14 year old kids.

Per the CNR Report:

"Currently, Russia is actively recruiting members of patriotic movements, in particular, the network of military education centers "Warrior" and "Yunarmiya" (Young Army). Teenagers aged 17

There are two thing here that are important.

The use of a 73mm BMP-1 gun as artillery is as good an indication Russian traditional tube artillery is 'supply constrained' as you want to find.

The prime mover shown is even more important.

RuAF systemic logistical collapse🧵
1/
It tells us that Russian motor transport fleet is in worse shape than its tube artillery park.⬇️

It's a visual confirmation of a general motor transport shortage telling us why cholera outbreaks are happening to Russian troops along the Dnipro.

2/ Image
Russia motor transport can't deliver enough fresh water to front trenches.

The latest @AndrewPerpetua video kill list of Russian motor transport shows three tactical trucks, four civilian cars, no Loaf/Scooby vans, one ATV and 25 motorcycles.

The increased Ukrainian use of barbed wire tracks with the appearance of Russian "Motorcycle Dragoon's."

1/
For which see this post⬇️

2/
And this post⬇️

The late Cold War Soviet Army, which both the Ukrainian & Russian Armies stem from, had a cultural aversion to barbed wire.

Russian "Motorcycle Dragoon's" seem to have cured the Ukrainian Army of this.

The timeless, and refused to be recognized by Western Intelligence, realities of Russian Army logistics:

Mobik animal labor moving and removing ammunition from wooden boxes with wet and splinter-ridden hands.

And it has been that way for centuries.

Logistical intel🧵
1/
Image
Each of these "field depots" takes a Mobik work crew a lot of time to unload vehicles.

The time and numbers required to create this ammo depot is detectable by drones.

Because the Russian Army doesn't have pallets and forklifts.

2/
This is how Ukraine gets its military logistics from NATO.

Highly advanced mechanized logistics is easy to spot, assuming you look for it.
