Modern and valuable 48Ya6-K1 “Podlet K1” low-altitude S-band surveillance radar was left behind by #Russian forces at Chornobaivka airport, Kherson.
Expected to be have been made unoperable but time will tell.

It looks like the Russians are attempting to evacuate some from Nova Kakhovka while they hastily prepare defence’s, it has also been reported they have attacked Ukrainian vehicles in the area. Ukraine may be attempting to take it, shelling has been going on, this would give Ukraine control of the eastern end of the Dam and Crimea’s water supply.

Yesrerdays news on UAF offensive on west bank of Dnipr along Kinburn peninsula is evolving, Russian sources claim Ukrainians have captured the village of Herois’ke.
As Nutloose posted earlier the russkies had fortified the shores but apparently Ukrainians are taking advantage of open flanks from the peninsula direction.
waiting for confirmations but this should be good, showing Ukrainians are capable of ambhibious warfare in which russkies haven't quite succeeded (remembering their poor performance in crossing rivers earlier).

I see a future of outflanking and encirclement by UKR. The RU just know head-on assaults., without much battlefield agility.

I wonder if this is Ukraines way of hinting at the peninsula assault, and their capabilities.

She has finally woken up to the fact their capabilities are sh*t and Ukraine has the resources of the free world behind them.

A Russian Prisoner recruited as a mercenary and shipped to Ukraine as cannon fodder eventually captured as a POW and released in a POW exchange returned to Russia and is then executed with a Sledge Hammer.

Now, who uses the term "satan"? Wagner needs to be classified as a Terrorist Organisation, even if only the girls of the Scandinavian, Baltic and Italy have the guts to do so.

The reality here is that the West is saying that they don’t wish to step up military production to any great extent because of the cost. Meanwhile, the Russians are beginning to mobilise their industry……
Like it or not, this war is now a battle of industrial systems - like previous large wars. The post Cold War ‘small, exquisite, periodic and expensive’ approach to weapons procurement in the West is over. We just haven’t fully realized that yet.…

That should have an interesting effect on recruitment and on prisoners wanting to be returned to the loving arms of dear mother Russia.

This is interesting and makes some sense to me or am I reading it wrong?
I do wonder if this is the trap everyone was worried about, Russia was never going to be able to realistically hold the far bank in any numbers as they would be subjected to accurate artillery and HIMARS strikes, so pulling back a large part of their forces to cities to preserve them makes sense.
Ukraines problem now is with Russia withdrawn across the Dnipro and having destroyed most of the crossing points, if Ukraine crosses in force to liberate cities and cut off the main supply route, they will themselves be subjected to the same issues Russia had, ie an in ability to supply the front line due to limitations of getting supplies, munitions and replacement across the river.

Ukrainian sources are saying they have taken control of a Geroiskoe and russian sources are reporting heavy gunfire around Hola Prystan (night when typing so only have the sound to go on), both on east side of Dnipro
To fit this into the situation, Geroiskoe (in Ukrainian Herois'ke) is in the Kinburn peninsula. Hola Prustan is on the Dnipr delta, distance in between these villages is roughly 50km demanding the Russkies to react on a threat from left flank. There goes the Russian natural defence line of Dniepr...

The good news though is that the RuZZians have excellent defensive lines available at low risk, around Rostov. They actually speak the same language there, like the same god king master strategist, and could do with the economic boost of having the RuZZian forces buying hamburgers there instead of being turned into hamburger.
