Based on high resolution imagery, I can say that two Ropucha class LSTs were hit last night during the a Ukrainian missile strike on the Sevastopol port.

One of the ships has a large scorch mark on its side, and another can be seen being towed into a dry dock. Both ships are afloat.

The next U.S. military package for Ukraine is rumored to contain Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb a long range precision munition. This thread will try to explain why this could be a game-changer. With the current front line, these munitions that have a maximum range of 150km would essentially cover the entire Ukrainian territory occupied since February 2022 and even parts of northern Crimea.

This is very likely not air defense but a Bastion-P firing from the well known firing position in Olenivka. This site has been used a number of times during the war.

Geolocation of the Russian ammunition storage targeted this morning.

P.S I’ve done all of it from my smartphone.

In the video above we see this tall tower and a stripped chimney.

I’ve geolocated this (coal power plant ?) to the outskirts of Luhansk.
