    After Russia is pushed out of Kherson, that means Russia does not control the capitals of two of the four regions it annexed through fraudulent referendum making it one of the most significant Russian retreats of the war.

    Some trivia: the western side of Dnipro river is the 'right bank' and eastern side is the 'left bank' because you have to think like a river, not a geographer.

    Geographers think in east and West
    Never right and left
    It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

    In other news, RUS retreat from Kherson is happening today.

    Hell yeah !

    Russia blowing all bridges and retreating from Kherson. The ex-mayor of Kherson, who was a Russian spy, is now dead as he was fleeing to Crimea and died “in a road accident”… I guess no 10-story windows nearby that he could accidentally fall out of…

    The Russian occupation of Kherson is truly horrific. Bucha pales in comparison. Russia is doing everything it can to hide its atrocities including running crematoriums 24hrs a day for months and forcibly transferring residents to areas under Russian control so people can't testify to Russian barbarity.

    10 towns surrounding Kherson confirmed liberated between yesterday and today. The Russian military is conducting a somewhat organized retreat so a major haul of captured military equipment is less likely but still possible this time around. Russian troops are also stealing everything they can before exiting. U.S. DOD and Ukrainian MOD suggest there are still ~20K Russian troops west of the Dnipro so even though for now it looks like things are happening fast yet orderly, it could still get ugly for Russians trapped on the right bank of Dnipro.

    On the right bank of the Dnipro river, between 18,000 and 22,000 russian soldiers remain, but not in positions, but crowded in the crossing area.
    The RF Armed Forces may suffer record losses

    lol WHAT?


    Guess you can see how Katyusha rockets were a game changer in 1943? The proto-MLRS, the Katyusha ["The Katy"] started out as excess aircraft wing spars used as a monorail for lots of dumb rockets. The key though, was the Studebaker deuce & a half trucks they were mounted on. American Lend Lease.



    By the time the Red Army was ready to go on the offensive in 1943, they had figured out it's 5x easier to launch a rocket from a tube than a rail. Plus they had thousands of Katyusha launchers built by then, and could open up with hundreds at a time... Ground the Germans into dog food, and there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it.

    Today, HIMARS and other American MLRSs continue this fine tradition of grinding the enemy to dog food and scrap metal when he's just too hard-headed get out of the fucking way.
    And once again, he can't do anything about it.

    Bitch about the American MIC, but they're efficient overlords.

    Ha. All I was trying to say was that it looked like a particularly large flurry of rockets being fired of at once. Good history lesson though.

    idk the nature of the occupier supply troubles. One concern I heard is they can't get enough fuel because the Kerch rail bridge is out. Retreating to the left bank does shorten the line, but the retreat itself burned a lot of fuel, and the shorter supply line probably doesn't reduce fuel requirements very much. They did remove the 2 chokepoints crossing the Dnieper, but if fuel into Crimea was the problem, that problem ought to remain.

    There also two routes connecting Crimea and Kherson oblasts. Ukrainians are surely planning to pressure those.

    Unrelated - with all the Ukrainian (filtered) good news, it's worth noting that Russia fights hard, and adapts. Recently I see reports of them pairing Orlan observer drones and kamikaze drones, making hunter-killer teams that are very effective against Ukraine's mobile artillery (and probably anything). This remains a brutal war. Arming Ukraine looks to be the quickest path to ending it.

    Ukraine

    AFU crossed the dnipro river and are moving swiftly south. There are explosions that indicate they may be flanking the troops that retreated from Kherson.
