Reports that the Russians are withdrawing 15km on the left bank to stay out of UAF artillery range. Hopefully the UAF fill that void…..
15k isn’t enough, HIMARS have a range of 80k with a precision of 1m 🤯
So these Iranian supplied missiles. Where are they? Its gone very quiet on them.
I think the Iranians still have to make them. They wont be wanting to deplete their own stocks.
Do the UAF have the ability to air drop across the river with sled and chute cargo?
Otherwise relying on a few ribs is very risky.
With Javelin and rpg amti tank even infantry can still be effective but if you need ammo, food, medevac or fuel you have to use air really to get in amd out fast.
Still good luck to them, we could lend a herc or 6 and lob some lightweight stuff out the back, and use a spectre as fire support

Whilst the Russian airforce are underperforming I wouldnt fancy the chances of any of those over Ukraine.
All the more remarkable because according to Putin Kherson is now (and forever) part of Russia, yet Zelensky visits and Putin wouldn’t dare.
Isn't it amazing how typically these dictatorial 'strong men' are never seen outside their heavily guarded palaces or stage managed rallies? Putin's a coward, didn't even dare go to or even dial into the G19 personally.
The footage of the celebrations in Kherson is really heart warming!
Ukrainian liberation videos are my new favorite thing, in an increasingly bleak world that level of pure relief and joy is a ray of light, even if the reasons behind it are so horrible.
Can you imagine how high morale is for the troops that have been the first into liberated areas and have had that reception? You'd walk tall for the rest of your days after that.
Fixed Russian positions in the Kinburn spit. Sitting Ducks
All those artillery dugouts will be geolocated and highly vulnerable.
15k isn’t enough, HIMARS have a range of 80k with a precision of 1m
HIMARS gets the headline, but most of the warfare and trench attrition is still basic artillery/MLRS and mortars. Literally millions of shells versus 1000 HIMARS rockets.
Cowardly bastards. More attacks on civilians in Kyiv

There's a prominent UAF soldier in those Kherson videos, with a distinctive nose..... he's already about 8 feet tall, truly scary looking ****er getting hugs from the liberated civvies.
There was a great video a few days back of a Ukr Major General going for a walkabout in Kherson very early after the Russians left, he was all smiles and taking hugs and flowers from happy Babushyas.
Couldn't help notice that his security detail remained ALL BUSINESS throughout though, masked, armed to the teeth and on full alert, some very intense lads there.
Even the General himself had a very expensive Fort handgun and multiple mags in his chest rig, ready to go.
Russians taking it badly

Have we seen the state of GBNews Pro putin conspiracy theories lately?

G19. Right now.
Do it publicly, unanimously and immediately.

Stunning propaganda coup from Zelensky.
I'm just trying to see if Surging Lavatory's plane shows up on Ads-B or FlightRadar. He's on his way home apparently.
Edit: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=157717
RA 96023 Special Flight Detachment.
Edit: tracking now switched off and heading north towards China.
Nice plane, be a shame if something happened to it
Most of those artillery rounds, especially Russian, do absolutely nothing, 🤷♂️
Stunning propaganda coup from Zelensky.
The propaganda is for the west only while in the east they just see it differently in an opposite way.
Social media in the SE Asia are laughing at the language used by PM toward Russia and they also accuse of US intention to create conflict in the region.
However, the praise is given to the language used by the Indonesia President calling for peace on both sides. SE Asia could be the "king maker" in future.
Thanks for reminding me why I'd never want to live there.
Isn't that because there is a wider admiration for autocratic 'strong men' in SE Asia?
Not that I think Putin is a strong man, he's a coward who's terrified to leave the Kremlin whilst Zelensky visits the front line and happily mixes with troops and civilians.
Strong men don’t hide in their bunkers 🤷♂️
However, the praise is given to the language used by the Indonesia President calling for peace on both sides. SE Asia could be the “king maker” in future.
Highly doubtful (to put it mildly) as they have little or no political, economic or geographical influence and leverage with either party.
If you look at president Erdogan of Turkey however...
I thought Russia was running out of missles months ago.
Iran supplied approx 100 missiles to Russia a few days ago,
Reported to have an accuracy of 10miles 🤦🏻♂️
Some of those accurate Russian missiles have landed in a NATO country and killed civilians. Article 5? I know that won't happen and would be OTT for what was probably incompetence and/or rubbish kit, but the escalation potential is there.

On missile would be an accidental act. 2 is deliberate assuming they where long range.
There's a tweet further down which refers to an explosion in a grain drying room. Nothing about missiles.
This needs to be confirmed as being caused by errant missiles before I'm going to comment.
I seriously hope this is just people jumping to conclusions. russia is loosing without the need to escalate

Agreed. Apols for jumping the gun, this definitely falls into the 'unconfirmed' category for the time being.
Ukraine has been under long range attack all day
This is from https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/polish-premier-calls-urgent-meeting-national-security-committee-2022-11-15/
No comments yet but all the eyes in sky will know.
Poland was always at risk. They’ve been saying so all year. Same for Moldova and Lithuania. Power cuts and infrastructure being hit not limited to Ukraine today… how much is “carelessness”, and how much is a deliberate threat…!? Well, that lack of clarity is how Russia has been operating for decades now.
That's a missile from the air, hence the crater and trailer still in the vicinity.
Seems to be possible that parts of an S300 air defence missile were found at the scene. unfortunately it might be Ukrainian. They've been under massive Russian missile bombardment all day, they'll have chucked a lot of ordnance at all the incoming. Some of it may have gone stray. TBC obvs.

Well contrary to the earlier tweet I mentioned I don't suppose the Polish Committee on National Security and Defense Issues would be convening to discuss a grain dust explosion.
https://twitter.com/NOELreports/status/1592594384708517890
BUT... if it is an S300 it could be Russian one being "repurposed" for ground attack or a Ukranian one being used in an anti missile function.
Does this mean we get a 4 minute warning in the morning?

I think our warning system got outsourced to the track and trace lot.
So expect a phone call a few hours after you are a heap of radioactive ash.
This really isn’t a funny situation to joke about.
I don't think it's a situation to get too alarmist about either.
Using some rough distances from Google maps, Lviv is 45 miles from the Polish border, crash site is 15 miles into Poland and 60+ miles north of Lviv.
That's quite a lot of wrong direction and distance for something fired as an interception against incoming from Belarus or Russia.
How far past target would a couple of missiles fly if damaged, against gravity?
