Dos the UA no longer have Stunga, TOW, Javelin, etc? It seems they have gone to a drone only approach which looks to be problematic. Or maybe those trench lines were unmanned? |

Objest has crossed polish border at 6:43 a.m. from the direction of the Ukrainian city of Chervonograd. This place has already been attacked several times by the Russian side due to the power plant located there. Polish military assured that the object was "under full control, under full supervision". But as per polish military due to weather conditions they were unable to issue a command to target it. The object disappeared after approximately 25 km on Polish territory. The object is probably still on Polish territory, although the possibility that it left polish territory is not ruled out. Search operation for the object has been launched. The activities are focused on the Tyszowce commune in the Lublin province. https://rmf24.pl/fakty/polska/newsamp-polskie-wojsko-obiekt-znad-ukrainy-wlecial-na-nasze-terytori,nId,7764114 Poles mad… |

Ukrainian Military Pages reports that the Ukrainian military has initiated the formation of at least 2 brigades in the 16x designation range. These units will be made up out of Ukrainians currently living outside of Ukraine with for example Poland and Czechia having previously stated their intention to aid in the recruitment for such units. Per Kateryna Chernohorenko, Deputy Minister of Défense around 83.500 Ukrainian citizens living abroad have had their military registration information updated through the Reserve+ platform. The formation of further brigades in the 16x range is expected to follow in the near future. https://ukrmilitary.com/2024/08/new-brigades-europe.html |

Minister @rustem_umerov : Overnight, russia attacked our cities again. Civilians suffered, houses were destroyed, and critical infrastructure was damaged. This once again proves that for victory we need long-range capabilities and the lifting of restrictions on strikes on the enemy's military facilities. Ukraine is preparing its answers. Weapons of own production. Deep condolences to the families of the victims. Together, we will stand and win. Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦 |

This was reported on August 26 in the main office of the Investigative Committee (IC) of the Russian Federation for the region in Telegram. "A criminal case has been opened on the fact of a fire on the territory of the Omsk refinery, on the grounds of a crime under Part 1 of Article 217 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Violation of the requirements of industrial safety of hazardous production facilities, resulting in negligent infliction of serious harm to human health")," the report says. It was preliminarily established that as a result of the emergency, several employees of the enterprise were injured of varying severity. A fire at the Omsk refinery, as a result of which, presumably, two people were injured, was reported earlier in the day. The area of the fire, according to the latest data, reached 1 thousand square meters. Six pieces of equipment and 28 personnel were involved in the fight against the fire. According to the press service of the enterprise, the fire at the plant will not affect its production program. The refinery is operating normally.

It's better to fight on the nice clean Russian streets among undamaged houses (not for long) rather than on Russian terms wrecking Ukrainian town and villages.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Originally Posted By qcka: I felt for awhile that where UA succeeds is by sucking the Russians in past their tank traps, minefields and trenches and artillery support.

Rinse and repeat from the first counteroffensive that was so successful. Yes I agree.

They won't stop just because nobody is fighting back. That's not how that works. US needs to stand up for its ally. Otherwise, we won't have any. ETA - delaying war makes loss more likely as the US only weakens its position over time relative to China and China gains strength. There's nothing to gain by playing nice with China over Philippines. |

That is all I can say, both systems are just very new and production is being increased for our use as fast as possible before we have excess production capability to allow to other allied countries at this time. Norway was considered for export for the ER GMLRS, but that was in 2021, and things have obviously changed causing the denial of that export sale for now. |
