Those anti tank concrete pyramids might be useful for preventing costal erosion after the war, or filling in a swamp! They look like a hummer could push them aside, or tow one with a rope, useless.

They dropped mines on the roads with artillery shells, so they knew about where the tanks would be slowing down and stopping. They would have got the range before the fight started.
I saw on one video where the Russians tankers had removed their mine sweeps and plows from the front of the tanks just before the fight. Not too smart.

If it is the video I watched, he did mention that the Russians had shelled the area at the start of the war. So some of the impacts would have been from then. But you guys carry on.

Since the groups are small, I’d say they did a good job both times.

Overall the captured, dead and injured have run about 3 to 1, with Russia holding the big end of that.

31 tanks and APC destroyed on one short stretch of road. They used three more roads, so you have to figure at least 60-70 in total.

Russia doesn't count the missing/deserters in Ukraine as KIA's so they don't have to pay survivors benefits to their families. So, many KIA's are left to rot in the field and are listed as missing. Russian POW's report being ordered to leave the wounded where they lay, they have no medical personnel in the field. Getting wounded in Ukraine is tantamount to a death sentence.

Is USA running out of ammunition?
Even at accelerated rates it would still take six and half years, according to the DoD. All in all, the US can continue to supply Ukraine with arms and will not run out in the foreseeable future. More than 100mn small arms ammunition have been supplied, but the US produces 8.6bn of rounds a year.Jan 19, 2023

They are making ammo in Europe, 155 and 152mm now plus small arms ammo, so I don't see them running dry any time soon.
No fucking way will Joe let the Ukrainians lose, but he will bleed the Russians white. It could be part of a deception plan, make the enemy think you are weak when you are strong, give extended timelines, when the actual ones are much shorter. One way or another they will get what they need to defend themselves and drive the Russians out. The longer the war the more they bleed and the more of their irreplaceable equipment is destroyed or captured. I think the big picture idea is to remove them as a threat to Europe and eliminate their ability to project power beyond their own borders. We want destroy their economy and cause regime change, for better or worse, cause we pretty well bottomed out with Putin.
Putin should have known better than to pull this shit off with Joe in the WH after what he pulled in America with Trump. When the Pentagon said the Ukrainians had a chance, Joe saw his chance. Austin and Blinken said earlier in the war, once the tide had turned that the idea was to destroy the Russian's ability to force project and to defeat them in Ukraine, then Biden wisely told them to STFU about it!
I figure part of the piecemeal approach to aid was to make Vlad think he could win while throwing more and more into the fight, getting deeper into the shit. Too much aid too quickly might spook him and have him playing for peace instead of cornered. He might not run out of mobiks, but he is running out of equipment, ammo and guns to give them. The only way Vlad could raise another 1/2 a million troops is to equip them with spears and shields.

Military doctor said about especially dangerous methods of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Vuhledar
Under Vuhledar, the use of ammunition with spherical submunitions that penetrate the human body was recorded by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was told by the commander of the Mobile Medical Group of the Special Purpose Medical Detachment (MOSN) of the Russian Armed Forces with the call sign "Coach".
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine near Ugledar began to use dangerous ammunition with damaging elements,” RIA Novosti reports the words of a military doctor. He added that the elements are made in a spherical shape of the same size, which, when they penetrate the human body, cause a serious damaging effect.
Earlier it became known that the Ukrainian army uses banned chemical weapons. The Investigative Committee of Russia has launched an investigation into the use of chemical weapons by soldiers of the Ukrainian army, RT reports .

Love the comments.
Salt used to be shot at garden thieves
Ball lightning is also very dangerous.
This military doctor has not yet seen porcupine quills.
All duck hunters use such prohibited submunitions.
... ammunition with spherical striking elements that penetrate the human body. - A really dangerous method, there has never been such a thing that would penetrate.
Ukraine has tested a new jet drone, reminiscent of Iranian developments
Testing of a new jet-powered drone has begun in Ukraine, and footage from drone testing has appeared on Ukrainian and Russian Internet resources.
Kyiv has long dreamed of developing attack drones capable of delivering strikes at ranges of over 1 kilometers, somewhat similar to Iran's Shahed attack drones. At the end of last year, it was reported that Ukrainian developers managed to create such a drone, but there were no pictures or videos of its tests.
Now Ukrainian resources are publishing footage of tests of a Ukrainian jet-powered drone. This UAV, by the way, also resembles Iranian UAVs, but not Shahed, but Arash-2. It is possible that he is a clone of the Iranian drone, but we cannot confirm this. The characteristics of this drone are not published anywhere, from the known - only the assumption that it is able to overcome these very "desired" 1 thousand kilometers.
The drone was developed by the design bureau of experimental rocket science NAURocket, working at the National Aviation University of Ukraine.
Kyiv has long been hatching plans to strike deep into Russian territory with the help of drones, several attempts have already been made, including with the help of Soviet-designed Tu-141 Strizh jet UAVs. There is no doubt that over time Ukraine will adopt long-range UAVs. Another question is whether Russian air defense is ready for such raids?

I guess the bright folk at Military Review (Russian Rah Rah site) missed the propeller at the back of the drone. I guess they saw the rocket assist and somehow figured it was jet propulsion. I am starting to feel discouraged by the Russians.

Didn't Uncle Sam buy a lot of those starlink terminals, perhaps the CIA? WTF is Elon to tell the government what to do or the US military?
He owns about 42% of spaceX, maybe he should sell some to a responsible adult, or Uncle Sam will make it hard to do business. SpaceX is an American company and if need be, it will be a government military asset, either by carrot or stick, it is of strategic importance and vital to American interests. Uncle Sam will control starlink for military use, by it's own armed forces, intelligence services and embassies, including America's allies, or nobody will. It is simply too useful for remotely controlling most military equipment from drones, to ships to tanks virtually, with a large data bandwidth and very low latency. All US embassies will use it as secure internet communications and of course the CIA would love it. So it is just too important to be left in untrustworthy hands.
