As he said in the video, "This is the second Russian missile strike on a train in weeks."
The one thing they say about the Russian attacks, quantity has its own quality. The Russians have learned to use the storm trooper tactics of Prigozhin. The Russians have been paying a price but they have been making gains recently, not so much for the Ukrainians. And the winter long? They will be spreading mines like they were sunflower seeds. The Ukrainians might find themselves in a stalemate yet.

Parked too long and became a stationary target. The Russians always used their missiles against civilians, looks like there is now a parking limit for trains and other high value targets.

I have to agree. There has never been a war stopped because either side gave out of men. But lots of them ended because one side gave out of money. As long as poot-poot can sell oil, he's still in it. Long term I think he is toast, but he might can drag this thing out four or five more years. (assuming he finds some one who will sell him weapons at a high enough rate)

For a country of around 150 million, they sure do have a lot of inherited hardware, how much is actually usable remains to be seen. Something is fueling their desperation; they have been making an all-out effort for quite a while and have not been gaining much ground but have been losing a lot of troops and equipment. Every month that goes by they lose more men and equipment as their economy worsens. Nothing was surplus in the old Soviet Union it was stored, even worn-out stuff, which is where the antiques are coming from.
hey can you stop

Ukraine says Russia committing few troops to Avdiivka battle
Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday that Russia's military appeared to be sending fewer troops and less equipment into the battle for the shattered eastern town of Avdiivka, seen as a gateway to the capital city of Donetsk region.

They should be more concerned about south of Kherson, if the Ukrainians breakthrough there and cut their supply lines a lot of the southern front will collapse. If it is not their plan to breakthrough there, then it will divert a lot of troops away from the east and put them at the end of a long logistical supply line that is easily cut. It will also put the defending Russians under Ukrainian artillery fire from across the river. The need armor to advance seriously though, but a lot of the Russian stuff is now staying well back from the front out of fear of accurate artillery, FPV drones, RPGs and javelins. Maybe they can do an advance with light vehicles hummers and such with TOWs etc.This i can see......especially with the Diapro situation happening...

In any case it is a major threat to a lightly manned and ill prepared part of what are now the frontlines. I'm surprised the Ukrainians haven't destroyed the Kerch bridge yet, they must have their reasons for not making more of an effort. Enough to drive the Russian civilians and supporters out and allowing them to get out will help win the peace after the war.

Attacking smarter and taking advantage of incompetence, one of the reasons why I think the Ukrainian KIA are a lot lower than the Russians.

I give them a chance to tone things down so that (even though they are wrong) their side gets told. But if you want us to ignore new posters if they do not fall in line with the general consensus I can do that and only nip at HP's heels.

they should but they're not, the concentration in Donbas is a bunch, and Avdiivka is the door that opens to the main city there. When it comes to the Kerch Bridge i believe it was already damaged as the Russian retreated from there, but Ukraine does have a beach head there as well.....

Losing turf, they had since 2014 is seen as very bad! A major advance in the east would be bad for Vlad, it is one place he can't afford to lose, like Crimea. If they force them to fight at the end of a long logistical line south of Kherson, it would be better for them if they can get far enough inland to protect their river crossings. They might end up trapping the Russians in much of southern Ukraine by cutting off access to Crimea and cutting their lines further east where they are breaking through. If they have no fuel they can't move, if they have no ammo they can't fight and if they have no food they will starve. The Russians are not prepared for winter fighting like the Ukrainians are who are close to home and support, I think many Russians will end up with frost bite and hypothermia before spring, just as they did in the last winter.
