  1. Also the non destroyed HIMARS systems seem to not be used... strange no... they have them but not use them anymore.

  2.  @fishpawnz838  Not really, they announced today two depots destroyed in Kherson area. Otherwise silent. No big targets hit like few weeks ago. No bridges damaged. Nothing. So out of ammo? Destroyed? Which one is it? Surely they have targets to hit! And Ukrainian propaganda would not miss even tiniest target - so what is the deal?

  3.  @agent19kentuckypotbaron15  But no spectacular hits - unless you include hospital in Doneck.

  4.  @fishpawnz838  No. there was a report of some rail tracks derailment around a week ago, both nothing more recent.

  5.  @fishpawnz838  Well, it is HARD to hide when enemy is at your door. I.e. its hard job for Ukraine to pretend they are not taking HUGE losses when their troops are overrun. So ho did Russians made all these gains if Ukraine did not suffer heavy losses? And follow-up question, if Ukraine has such a huge army, why is it shifting units so much from one front to the other? Ukraine has not provided any reliable troop loss numbers. Since beginning of the war. We can only guess losses are HUGE from actual reports from the front line. We can also guess from same reports that Russian (as in from Russia) losses are light. Who cares what each side says - just use facts to extrapolate.

  6.  @fishpawnz838  Nothing of note - like I said last report was of some sabotage action in Kherson region on railroads. Before that the bridges were hit. Nothing else in that region. Today supposedly 2 ammo dumps were hit in Donbass - but nothing yesterday or day before.

  7.  @fishpawnz838  I have exactly opposite view, Ukraine is loosing badly, constantly lie about their losses and their "wins" (in quotation as there aren't any in recent times). Russia simply does not even give losses figure. My current estimate for losses KIA for Russia is around 8000, for allies around 12000 and for Ukraine more then 60000. I expect the ratio to move even more loop sided for Ukraine, i.e. we will see 3.5, then 4 and then maybe even 5 to 1. After first few weeks of combat I said Ukraine should negotiate way out of this. But they did not listen. I was totally right. Now b/c they elected a comic they have a tragedy. But hey, it was AFAIK a free vote, so its their fault. We see what phase 3 brings in September - but I expect nothing good for Ukraine.

  8.  @fishpawnz838  Well, if you trust these guys you should look into what Russia claims ;) I.e. there is not confirmation of any strikes today on ammo depots. Nor yesterday nor day before.

  9.  @fishpawnz838  Well, so far we are mostly debunking Ukrainian lies ;) Come on, look at the map - you do not need to lie when your troops are advancing. Even pro Ukraine maps show massive numbers of units and few Russia units (or allies) yet Russian / allied troops are advancing. This suggests massive casualties on UA side. Eventually propaganda fails, even the best one, when enemy knocks on your door. It was hard to hide defeat once allied bombers flied over Germany followed by Russians at the door to your capital. Same here. You can make claims all you want but ground reality catches up. Eventually you simply will see Russians in all of Donbass. Whatever you pretend they are just ghosts or not, will not matter.
