Things just got a whole lot worse for Putin.
According to the White House, the $800 million in security assistance will provide Ukraine with: 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems, 100 drones, "over 20 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenade launcher and mortar rounds," 25,000 sets of body armor, 25,000 helmets, 100 grenade launchers, 5,000 rifles, 1,000 pistols, 400 machine guns, 400 shotguns, as well as "2,000 Javelin, 1,000 light anti-armor weapons, and 6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems. The US will specifically provide Switchblade drones to Ukraine, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. The small, portable, so-called kamikaze drones carry warheads and detonate on impact. The smallest model can hit a target up to 6 miles away, according to the company that produces the drones, AeroVironment. It's unclear which model the US will send to Ukraine.The Switchblade drones were added to Ukraine's extensive list of requested military and technological assistance after Ukrainian officials consulted with congressional partners over the weekend on a draft of the list. https://youtu.be/4T5Jcmh8dAk |

They need to be careful. You could have somebody’s eye out with one of those.

More tank landing craft on the way?
Round Africa will take a bit of time. Quote: Four Russian warships were spotted sailing through a strait in northeastern Japan, possibly transporting troops and combat vehicles to Ukraine, the Japanese Defense Ministry said. Four Russian tank landing ships were confirmed to have passed through the Tsugaru Strait between Japan's main island of Honshu and its northernmost main island of Hokkaido from the Pacific Ocean into the Sea of Japan. https://japantoday.com/category/nati...ops-to-ukraine |

Will be interesting to see where they're headed, given the Black Sea isn't accessable to them currently.

They headed south away from Vladivostok… (?) And the ships themselves are very important.

Is it me or is Putin in his speech not only having a go at his elite earlier on, but also starting to sound like Hitler in his dreams of the Russian version of a true Aryan race. (About 1.50)
A lot of his Armour that is being used was apparently shipped from Siberia |
Perhaps Russia will make Turkey an offer they cannot refuse.
And maybe the Navy is rushing to show their loyalty, as slowly as possible. |

A NATO country that bought S-400's from Russia and gave up F-35 program involvement to do so.
On the flip side of the coin they also provide Bayraktars to Ukraine. Looking after their own interests as all countries do. |
More targets hit, transport by the looks of it.

More footage from Kherson airport post strike, taken on foot, they're going to need a serious FOD plod.

From my post 3471
Russia’s dilemma is only worsened by its combat casualties. Although I am always skeptical about enemy body counts, I do believe the numbers of dead are in the thousands (possibly in the 5,000-6,000 range suggested by US sources) and the numbers of wounded much higher. The modern battlefield is extremely lethal, especially for poorly trained or disciplined soldiers. These are very high numbers for just the first two weeks of war and many come from Russia’s elite units — they are hard to replace (and the Kremlin won’t be able to conceal these losses from the Russian public and all those for long.) Also NEW from @CBSDavidMartin: A U.S. official estimates Russians have lost 5,000-6,000 killed in the first 2 weeks of battle. Standard battlefield math assumes 3x as many wounded as killed, so that puts the number of wounded at 15,000-18,000. Which tallies with that figure of losses as a total. |

For a start the US is estimating Russian troops loses at 7000, not the same as 13800.
