“When the UAVs see the battery, it’s like a VIP target”

Ukraine made a fleet of wooden HIMARS decoys & Russian forces wasted valuable cruise missiles from their dwindling stocks to blow them up.

Great insight into Ukrainian tactics from @John_Hudson

To think NATO has been afraid of Russia. How shameful that looks now. At least we are turning the tide with weapons.
Makes you wonder if NATO had stomped on Russia 15 years ago with their first incursions we wouldn't be in this mess.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing of course.

Russian-appointed head of Kherson Stremousov fled to Voronezh, Russia.

It was possible to establish that yesterday and today Stremousov recorded his video messages from the Marriott hotel in Voronezh on Revolution Avenue, 38.

Meanwhile in Russia the media is reporting the events in it's own way ie. "theres nothing to see here, move along". As the media in the west has its finger on the pulse, it is hard to find any news in Russian media. Just a few short mentions of "shelling of kherson" or "missile strikes in kherson" or "outstanding victory, billions of Ukrainian tanks destroyed".

Enemy losses in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen. Consider a full-fledged battalion. "Another attempt at offensive actions by the enemy failed miserably," our defense department concluded.

But this article is the most telling of them all: since this has been written this morning and the emphasis is so strong that nothing is happening there, the Russians on Kherson are are probably about to collapse. And who's the one saying so? the same a**hole who has fled the area (see ORAC's post #8649 )

According to him, Kherson was, is and remains a Russian city, all offensives are useless. "All those who go into battle today, trying somehow to live with the incomprehensible idea of ​​Nazism, are doomed, their attacks are useless. Russia does not start a war, Russia ends the war," Stremousov said.

First thing I would have done for this or any other major NATO weapon system that I was going to get limited numbers of.

Reservists of the 'glorious' army #Russland 's at morning roll call near the front. The #Vodka supplies you brought with you are exhausted, now it's time to get new ones.

You can take something sweet with you. You must also have your passport and identification code with you. Please don't be lazy and go, especially if you live nearby. This can save the lives of our guys from the ZSU

Dogs are sensitive to their surroundings physically and the emotional state of the people around the dog. If the carer of the dog had been a casualty, the dog will be traumatised if they were bonded to that person. Constant noise and concussion is going to harm any dog, even a cat is going to be annoyed.

That dog was in shock without apparent injury, in need of a caring person.

Putin doesn't need to apply for that job. No self respecting dog would lie done near Putin.

I wonder if there is any truth in it? trouble is that still does not get rid of the combat effectiveness of them, they simply become an obstacle to overcome further down the line. The fact they are allegedly negotiating means they know they are stuffed, it will also allow those wanted for warcrimes to escape.

The remaining Russian command in Kherson is secretly negotiating with the Ukrainian military to declare Kherson an open city. In exchange for allowing an evacuation with light weapons for the Russian occupiers in Kherson. The agreement does not apply to collaborators!
