HIMARS 1.5meter deviation from the target at 80km maximum range, or so say the users. I'm sure they had their ducks all lined up in a row when they were ready. The Russians will adapt or die and must move their guns back closer to their supply depots, along with the guns go the front lines. The Russians must hold the railheads, where the trains are unloaded, out of HIMARS range. Every major ammo depot is on a rail line and the trucks take it from there to the guns at the front.
I'm pretty sure trucks would be a high priority target for special forces or partisans in their rear operating at night and planting mines and IEDs on the roads to the front. Trucks are their weakness and they haven't been leaving any for the Russians to take in Ukraine lately.
Seems the Russian drone deal with Iran fell through, but the Ukrainians will have plenty of drones for attack and artillery. Now will they have enough HIMARS rockets? Because they will use as many as we can give them, as fast as we can give them! They know their value however and only something worth their while will get the treatment.

Russia's plans are defeated by a few Western weapons: Ukraine holds its own and Europe's defenses
68,784 views Jul 13, 2022 American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems have changed the situation on the battlefield in less than a month. Thanks to them, at least a dozen rear depots of the Russian military flew into the air. And the day before, with just one precise blow, the Ukrainian military eliminated almost all the deputy commanders of the 106th airborne division of the Russian Federation in the Donetsk region.

Ukraine is getting a diverse mix of weapons systems, for small arms and shoulder launched weapons this is not too much of an issue. However diversity is not a good thing for heavier weapons systems that are more sophisticated, in terms of training and especially maintenance. Ukrainian troops are in this war for the duration, so once they are trained on a system they will stay with it until they are killed or it is worn out, so the training part goes a bit easier. Fortunately all the munitions are standardized and ole Joe is looking for yet more old Soviet shit and especially munitions for them to give Ukraine on his trip to the middle east. They still have plenty Soviet equipment that can be used and perhaps some can even be refurbished in Poland.
There is a reason for everything, including the slow response and reluctance to arm Ukraine too fast, they have concluded with the weapons, the Ukrainians could whip the Russians pretty fast and end the war by driving the Russians out. However I believe some don't want a short war, they want the Russian army destroyed and the Russian economy broken with sanctions on them for as long as possible. They want to end European dependency on Russian energy supplies and Ukraine is the logical alternative that is close by. Once they develop that oil and gas and start selling it to Europe, it will be game over for Russia, as Ukraine becomes a regional economic, energy and military superpower and Russia descends into a shithole from the last century.
China will own them and they will dance to their tune, China can keep them alive, but needs to be very careful about what they give them. Helping Russia might create a diversion, if they are going for Taiwan, but like Russia, Uncle Sam busted them and appears to be ready. Ukraine is nothing to what Taiwan could be with domestically produced modern weapons, China would feed a lot of fish trying to get there.

China has enough men to march them into the sea and walk to Taiwan on the backs of the dead.
ok, that's an exaggeration, but they could afford massive losses getting to Taiwan, and still have more than enough to overwhelm them in a day...and i don't think for one second that the Chinese army is one little bit like the russian army. i'm fairly sure their equipment is up to date and maintained.

If and when China comes for Taiwan, it won't be like russia invading Ukraine.

Taiwan won't be alone in the fight either, it will have allies. However, Taiwan is a hightech powerhouse and the worlds most advanced chips are produced there. China might have a lot of men, but when the sink the ships they are on and shoot down the planes they are in, it tends to limit their mobility. China is developing fast, but right now they are armed with mostly soviet style weapons, but are developing their own fast.
China has major financial problems with real estate, roads and railways, all were over built with empty cities in some cases. China has done pretty well in the world order and it's hard to imagine a country growing faster than they have by being part of that global system. They would not be where they are without western help, the universities were full of China's best and brightest all through the 80s and 90s, they have since built dozens of world class universities and those students are now professors at them. It would be kinda stupid to fuck up a good thing, especially with Russia coming apart and vulnerable, the whole Asian continent has opened up for them with it's rich resources. I also don't expect Xi to be around too much longer either, if reports about his health are true and they will make sure power is divided after he goes, he gathered too much power to himself and stayed too long.
In the end corruption will get China, we elect our leaders every few years with a free press to help and a lot of them are as corrupt as Satan, so imagine what it is like with no free press and no elections.

I am no big fan of China, but even with corruption (and bear in mind you eat a bullet if you get caught, so it keeps it down), they have amazing upliftment going on. I was watching a video of a guy trecking up the mountains to some distant village. He came across an old lady sitting next to the path with a few snacks and bottles of water. These poor people have a card you can scan like a QR code and do a payment to them. in the modern world, not being able to take card or mobile payments is a no-deal situation for many small entrepreneurs.

Russian occupiers envy high precision hits of Ukrainian mortars and artillery
38,413 views Jul 13, 2022 This is confirmed by a new telephone conversation of russian invaders intercepted by the SSU.
In particular, the russian commander of reconnaissance company complains to a friend that they are barely holding their positions in the village of Dovgenke, Kharkiv region.
‘They [Ukrainian defenders] get up drones to see where they are hitting. And start shelling from mortars. In a day, they burned seven pieces of equipment: an armored KAMAZ, some other shit as well,’ the occupier admits disappointedly.
The invaders are particularly concerned about how accurately Ukrainian warriors hit their targets: ‘Their mortarmen and artillerymen shoot f**king accurately. They’ve adjusted their guns…’
By the way, the SSU intercepted this conversation before the events in Nova Kakhovka, Kherson and Chornobayivka - that is, before the Armed Forces of Ukraine started using high-precision HIMARS.
So, for russian invaders it’s getting hotter by the day.

Can Ukraine realistically regain territory from Russia?
10,413 views Jul 14, 2022 Last time the Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko was in our studio, he interviewed the foreign secretary Liz Truss. He's back in London now and he's meeting the candidates for PM. He is also a former adviser to President Zelensky. He's come to visit us again.

This guy has some useful observations that western leaders should take to heart, people like Putin operate outside their expectations and life experiences. There is no good will, he understands only one thing, a punch in the face followed up by a swift kick to the nuts, this asshole is either at your throat or at your knees. Keep him rolling around on the ground in pain until he dies and make him an example to others. Show him your strength after he is pinned and worn down in Ukraine, by destroying his army quickly when ready and taking his European energy markets away and giving them to Ukraine. After that happens, Ukraine can deal with what's left of Russia on it's own after a few years, NATO will be just a back up and ally.
Future Ukrainian citizen and perhaps the guy who drives the development of Ukrainian oil and gas! Zel should be talking to this guy and probably has been.

Kirill Kaprizov and Russia's manpower crisis (Dedovshchina / Дедовщина)
The story of Fedotov is a bit different. There was a “reshala” (ironic Russian for “solver”) who got caught by FSB. Apparently this guy knew a person in the conscription point, who could make a fake military I.D in exchange for a “donation”. In this guy’s phone, they’ve found a bunch of Ufa hockey players’ numbers, which raised a suspicion that all of them were his clients.
