#Ukraine: A Russian Su-24M strike aircraft (RF-93799) operated by the Wagner PMC was severely damaged by a Ukrainian MANPADS strike over Bakhmut, #Donetsk Oblast.

It managed to get back to base but is very unlikely to fly again any time soon.

Kyiv could conduct offensives right now, but they would be unlikely to achieve serious successes while sustaining losses. It makes more sense to wait for new equipment, trained units, better ground conditions, etc. for their big push, which will be more likely to achieve success.

@BA_Friedman:
Strongly disagree with this assessment. The Ukrainians are staying on the defensive because they can, better gear is still arriving, and it's the smart move while Russian forces are desperate to achieve anything.

Ukraine is clearly holding back reserves for its offensives later this year, which may give the perception that it is losing, but committing those reserves to the front now to defend would make them less effective for future offensives. It is a calculated risk. 2/

@RuneLinding @russianforces @WilhelmineEn @NilsenThomas @BarentsNews I don't see anything wrong with Politico's article.
It's a significant development, though I for one, am not surprised that this has happened.

The US is considering delivering Ukraine thousands of weapons and more than a million rounds of ammunition that were seized by the US Navy off the Yemen coast from smugglers suspected of working for Iran.

@russianforces @RuneLinding @WilhelmineEn @NilsenThomas @BarentsNews The keyword for me is "kapasitet".

‌Status-6 (Twitter)

The list of weapons that can be potentially send to Ukraine include more than 5,000 assault rifles, 1.6 million rounds of small arms ammunition, a small number of antitank missiles, and more than 7,000 proximity fuses.

It is natural to go on defense after successful offensives. Slow grinding offensives are not in Ukraine's interests, so they need to give themselves the best chance for achieving a deep penetration of Russian lines that can be exploited. That requires greater forces/planning. 3/

Some additional footage of the engine fire after the aircraft had landed. It appears that it was extinguished on the ground.

@nukestrat @HelcrossC @ChuckCallesto The sentence in question:

"En sentral del av de kjernefysiske kapasitetene befinner seg på Nordflåtens ubåter og overflatefartøy."

I also interpret this as warheads onboard surface ships.

Also important to emphasize that mobilization has given Russia a manpower advantage. Poorly-trained soldiers are of less value in offensive operations, but they have strengthened Russia's ability to defend and sustain the war, particularly in an attritional fight. 4/

Вчерашняя акция в МГБ в целом удалась. Чекисты грустные, злые, не все живы, на некоторых прямо скажем - нет лица, да и в ушах звон
