Not hard to figure out where to fire those grad rocket barrages and why cellphones in battle zones are a bad idea. This is civilian open source, I'm sure the military can do much better and with more detail.

there's a restaurant in the middle of Kherson named "Al Capone"?
it sometimes makes me wonder, why do other cultures appropriate the bits and pieces they do?
of course, it makes me wonder why Americans idolize criminals and murderers as well, at a seemingly higher rate than they do heros?
there's a show about jeffery dahmer, but the people who caught him are only along for the ride...they make movies like natural born killers and house of a thousand corpses, and everyone knows the names of all the characters...but do they make movies about guys who stop crimes, for no other reason that they want to help the people getting hurt, getting robbed?
there is a world wide fascination with criminals, and a worldwide dismissal of real heroics...
the world needs a lesson into what antihero actually means, and why they don't want any

Looks like they took Kherson city already! The locals and resistance must have told them of any Russian potential tricks and traps. They won't concentrate troops there, because the Russian shelling should begin, assuming they have the ammo, and they might save it to fight for their lives this time around.

yep, i've read report this morning that they are a lot of Russians on the wrong side of the river, they didn't escape......UA has put the call out to just surrender. Other reports i've read that the UA is starting to hit Nova city already....and i found 1 report say that UA is already over the river but not confirmed though

I dunno how Vlad is gonna survive this and future military humiliations.

The posts on Russian Telegram channels tonight are almost as incredible as the military situation. One is calling on Ukrainian forces to march on Moscow, destroy the Kremlin, and get it over with. Others are saying that when the images of Russian losses in Kherson become public, it may be enough to end Vladimir Putin.
There seems to be a broad understanding that this isn’t just a repositioning, or even a defeat. It’s a humiliation".

Looks like they have crossed the river.....that's a surprise....

They have partisans and could have infiltrated light forces across the river to control the dam. If they have control of it, they will increase the water flow if they can in order to impede the Russian withdrawal downstream with increased water levels and current flow. With special forces and close air support from drones along with artillery support using drones they might be able to pull it off. Blocking the roads on their side of the river will slow down reinforcements. Securing that dam and a bridgehead on the other side is vital to the security of the dam but also for cooling water for the nuclear power plant, so they must have had a plan and are rolling the dice on a special operation. Controlling it they can avoid twin catastrophes and would be worth the lives risked, volunteers wouldn't be hard to find.
