Another TWO Patriot systems destroyed? Are they having to compromise their positions to make up for the lack of 155mm rounds? Or are they fake? https://twitter.com/GloOouD/status/1766445017046904864 |
Just putting some of the recent numbers into context.

Many Russians and Ukranians are now abroad. Also many Ukrainian nationals are in occupied territories.

Or are they sending over sacrificial aircraft in order to spot the Patriot batteries?

Showing a large Russian column destroyed, I have posted the quoted link only as the end shows single troops being taken out by drones and one is a bit gory.. so be aware.

A good read. Just a short part of it.
A general expectation is that Netanyahu will come to the end of his political career when the present war – actually the fifth between Israel and the Arabs – comes to an end. Putin is set to be in power at least until 2030, but even his time seems to be running out. He has not won his war of aggression against Ukraine, initiated in 2014. He has not conquered Kyiv or Odesa, not even Kharkiv and Kherson. The magnificent Ukrainians, few and badly armed, have stopped – yes, stopped – what was considered the world’s second-strongest army, a victory so unbelievable that many in the West began to fantasise about what could happen next, and consequently, now as the war, very naturally, has stalemated, believe that the Ukrainians are facing a defeat. I do not believe in this doomsday scenario. I expect another two or even four years of war, then a Ukrainian-European victory as the alliance behind Ukraine swings into a serious war economy. The bigger picture tells us already that the Russians are bogged down, suffering disastrous losses of men and material on the front, and that money is pouring out of the Kremlin coffers, and that the Russian public may be slowly waking up to the disaster that their rulers have created and are presiding over, rather nervously, I believe. |

Usual caveats:
"Russian Grounds Forces are claiming to have Captured a Leopard 2A6 which was Abandoned recently by Ukrainian Forces near the Frontlines in the East." https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1766902879204295095?s=20 |
The Mystery of the Mig 29 loss may be solved as a pilot is reported killed in action.
Fighter pilot Andrii Tkachenko, Major of Ukraine’s Air Force, has been killed in Donetsk Oblast while undertaking a combat mission. Source: Plast Sambir, a chapter of Plast, Ukraine’s national scout organisation; Yurii Yuzych, spokesman for Plast Sambir, on Facebook Details: Plast Sambir said that Tkachenko was killed in the skies over Donetsk Oblast on 8 March 2024, while undertaking a combat mission. Tkachenko served in Ivano-Frankivsk, then Kharkiv, and then again in Ivano-Frankivsk. Since the beginning of the war in 2014, he carried out combat missions as part of the Anti-Terrorist Operation and the Joint Forces Operation, the designations of Ukraine’s efforts to oppose Russian forces in Ukraine's east in 2014-2022. |

The lack of coordination and communication among units leads to confusion and disorganisation on the ground, resulting in ineffective offensives and unnecessary risks for troops. |
