Ferries being used to ferry both Military and civilian traffic, It makes sense from the Russians perspective, Ukraine probably won't hit the ferries if they have civilians on board. The Ukrainians on them probably do not realise they are being used as Human shields.

Rare footage of no less than four M142 HIMARS in action, firing 24 M31A1 GMLRS unitary rockets at Russian targets.

This footage is notable not just for the quantity but also the daytime usage of HIMARS. Note the Ukrainian soldier with possible MANPADS to the left.

Azerbaijani authorities confirmed to supply LGB's for the Su25, I wonder how they will spike the target.

Excellent link, and aviation content! (Drones + mortars as a method, seen that before). Thank you ORAC!

Day time use suggests no credible air threat or those smoke trails would be bringing down the wrath of Khan.

Shoot and scoot is inbuilt. The wrath reactions appear pedestrian by comparison.

Maybe the Russians are beginning to get the message that they are not wanted in Ukraine, and whatever love they felt in Russia is/was all they will ever get.
