Propaganda? Those are just the facts, Tard. So, far the Kherson counteroffensive is a slaughter of the UFA. Do you think this is something stupid and inconsequential like pro sports? There are facts on the ground that have profound consequences. Do you even know where the Kherson Oblast is or what the poor bastards in the UFA had to traverse to bring the attack?
Let’s assume you aren’t a troll. Here’s an expert from Belarus who does a daily analysis using Western and Russian sources. Here’s the most recent:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEPIkSRcRno
As you will see, he’s reasonably objective, and today’s news isn’t all good for the Russians.
“I’ve got one word for what’s going to happen to the Ukraine army, “cauldron”.”
Yeah been hearing about these fairyland “caldrons” since February. 60K in donbas (never happened), 12000 in Luhansk (never happened)
Caldron smaldron...
Yanushevich, not Yanukovych.
No identifier is provided in the article as to who Yanushevich is.
He also confirmed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched an offensive in all directions in southern Ukraine, but added that the authorities can only provide official information from the military. “We must remain calm and not interfere with our military,” Yanushevich stated.
*****************************************************************
Meaning: We’re not going to hear ANY bad news from the Ukrainian military.
Hey, let’s give them yet another tranche of money and material,
Prove it with reliable sources.
The way the Russian army conducts operations they can’t build a latrine without expending massive amounts of munitions removing brush and three small trees. The smart thing to do would be for the Russians to pull back across the river, but the politics won’t allow it. They will stay there and lose men and equipment until there is no escape. The real strategic battle is west and south of Doneskt where these troops could be doing something useful.
I agree. They can probably make the Ukrainians pay pretty heavily for awhile, but that advantage will shift, and the possibility of a full-on disaster north/west of the Dnieper will be there.
But the effect on both sides' morale, particularly Ukrainian, that would come from Russia losing that territory north/west of the Dnieper would be significant. It'll happen anyway at some point, but I guess they just don't want it to happen now.
Tremendous difference in fighting FOR YOUR OWN LAND & fighting to TAKE land from another.
MORE FYI 8-31 9P.m. EST
A soldier of the 2nd Army Corps of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Andrei Morozov said that due to the wear of the tanks and ammunition of the corps, weapons and shells of 122 and 152 mm caliber are being deprived.
In his blog Morozov reported important information that the 1st and 2nd Army Corps were deprived of 122 mm artillery due to a lack of shells of this caliber, and now they are taking away 152 mm D-20 guns due to the lack of proper weapons and shells in the frame Woe to the Russian army. I wonder what it could be? The main means of defeat in war are howitzers. Howitzers of two caliber - 122 and 152 mm. If they take 122 and take 152 mm, then there are no other howitzers. Russia probably stores old Soviet howitzers D-1, but they are also 152 mm, and the shells from them fit D-20, so it would not be worth taking the combat kit. So, they are re-armming not to howitzers, but to another caliber.
And of the other calibers, the enemy remains 76 mm ZIS-3 of 1942 model, 85 mm anti-tank guns of D-44 model 1946, 100 mm anti-tanks BS-3 of 1944, 130 mm M-46 rifle of 1951.
Let’s see, if so, the news is GREAT.
First, the shell power of these systems is much less, Second, they do not shoot at the hinge, but at the floor trajectory, this is much less dangerous,
third, Russia does not produce these calibers, stocks are limited, so they will run out even faster tray.
If this happens, it does not mean that the Russian army will completely run out of 122 and 152 mm caliber. Russia produces them, but no production can compensate for such a huge expenditure on such a large front. Therefore, the Russian General Staff concentrates deficit shells to reserve its needs and reduces supplies for army corps recruited from mobilized in the Donbas. But next year, these measures will no longer help, and the entire Russian army will face the need to limit the expenditure of shells.
For us, this indicates that the hits of Ukrainian HIMARS, Point-U and saboteurs on Russian arsenals cause irreparable damage to the enemy. Also, a huge expenditure of shells during the artillery offensive deprives the Russian Armed Forces of major calibers. The USSR missile reserves were not bottomless after all, for 31 years they were consumed worldwide.
Which means another year of war, and at the front there will be only those shells produced by the factories of the Russian Federation and NATO. That is, the multiple gap in the number of shells will begin to decrease. Unfortunately not as soon as we’d like.
Another interesting fragment of Morozov - about the 3rd Corps.
Russian propaganda demonstrates various materials about the 3rd Army Corps, formed in just two months in the Nizhny Novgorod region, and emphasizes that the Corps has received the latest armaments, with Russians claiming the latest SSI battle tanks T-90M Breakthrough, BMP-3 and other modern equipment.
This information initially raised fair doubts. Modern equipment is sharply lacking in personnel connections of the Russian army, who have suffered huge losses, and who are armed with old equipment from storage bases, new equipment from the factories does not cover all losses. Russia throws into battle T-72 and T-80, which were conserved during the USSR. Therefore, transferring the T-90M tank worth over 5 million. Russia cannot afford dollars to some new recruits.
Apparently, the 3rd Army Corps is a reserve compound of 10-15 thousand people, most of whom have no combat experience and had undergone a very short training course.
According to preliminary data, the transfer of its parts to the Zaporizhzhya direction has begun. The task of this little-combatant compound is to take on a quiet section of the front to change the joints, probably the personnel of the 42nd Motor Rifle Division, which is in the Zaporizhzhya direction and can be taken to reserve.
Morozov’s revelations clearly show that the combat capability of the Russian army is gradually decreasing. The superiority in the number and quality of weapons possessed by the Russian Federation is reducing.
When weapons plants are launched at full capacity under the land-lease program, Ukraine will have the opportunity to achieve parity in arms. And this will create a favorable opportunity for full-scale offensive operations.
Of course, all this information is reassuring, but this is by no means a cause for euphoria. At the moment, the Russian army continues to maintain superiority in all types of heavy weapons, artillery, aircraft, tanks, winged and ballistic missiles, and has many times a greater resource of ammunition. However, this resource is not infinite, and after a while the ratio will no longer be so favorable for the enemy.”
You mean Zelensky regime/MSM/MI6/ British tabloid type sources? The sources that reported rubbish like the “Ghost of Kiev”, “Snake Island”, “Miss Ukraine”, “Mass Rape”, and “Bucha” hoaxes as factual? I doubt you know anything about sources. You probably simply have antique prejudices that the Neocons in the Biden administration and others exploit. Go head and believe that the Russians are out of ammunition, have no way to supply the RF forces west of the Dnieper, that the RF forces are staging mutiny after mutiny, that the RF forces are poorly trained, elderly conscripts, and that the RF has been reduced to sending babushkas to fight on the frontlines armed only with broom handles and handbags.
Kherson Oblast has turned out to be a killing field for the UFA. I see that as a tragedy. The Zelensky “Rah, Rah, Rah” contingent here simply sees the war as a form of entertainment.
The Kherson counteroffensive has hardly dented the RF forces so far. Let’s watch what Zaluzhny (of course you know who he is) does in the Kharkov Oblast near Izum. Maybe the UFA will do better there.
Here’s some insight to what is driving the Kherson disaster:https://sonar21.com/ukrainian-counter-offensive-fizzles-out-after-political-push-to-launch/
Deny, deny, deny. Just the daily work of a troll. Let me know when the AFU overruns Kherson. If you were smart, you might claim the Kherson counteroffensive is a feint to set up the real blow which will be directed at Izum, but you don’t even know where that is.

Ukraine receives humanitarian aid, and is just as used to those cold winters as the Russians are.
Russia won't be receiving humanitarian aid, and rely on western parts sources to keep their pipelines running.
Vlad the Imploder has press gangs rounding up farmers who would ordinarily spend the winter doing animal husbandry -- instead they'll be more cannon fodder.
But, the Russian mass suicide is not our problem. [/rimshot!]
Ukraine's strategy and tactics have been well-considered and well-executed, and furthermore have nothing to do with homosexuality or Nazism.
