RT @Tatarigami_UA: For three consecutive days, the enemy attempted to assault Spirne, but each time they suffered losses and were forced to retreat. In the latest attack, the enemy lost one BMP and BTR, and their T-90 was damaged before they once again retreated

@PUFFPUGMaster I think you are right - the same stain just lower right of the driver's side gun port.

RT @Jack_Mrgln: As usual, predicting what will happen in the next 24 hours with Wagner is nigh impossible (incomplete info, Prigozhin as unreliable source) but we can interpret possibilities based on his announcement that they are staying.

1. Best case for Wagner, Surovikin is magic bullet

@PUFFPUGMaster Different front 'Z' IMO - side turret Z also maybe different. I think they are different.

@TriibusteK It's still rumors.

RT @georgewbarros: Ukraine's 2023 spring / summer counteroffensive is likely not going to be a decisive war-ending action.

It's going to take Ukraine many consecutive counteroffensive operations likely over several years - and Western sustainment for those operations - for Ukrainian victory.

RT @ManSalouh: Czech president Pavel warns Ukraine against rushed counteroffensive saying "not to be pushed into a faster pace before they are fully prepared. It will be harmful to 🇺🇦 if this C.O fails, it will simply be one chance this year, so it has to be successful." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/07/czech-president-petr-pavel-warns-against-rushed-ukraine-counteroffensive

@AliDTwitt @stats_feed Where did you get that from? The NASAMS air defense systems are the best in the World for intercepting cruise missiles and the Patriots are one of the best in the World for intercepting ballistic missiles

@Mr_Mer_q_ry Odesa was hit by a Kh-22 missile, not by a Shahed

The Kh-22 is Soviet Missile developed in the 1960s. It has a very large warhead, it’s extremely inaccurate, and flies at speeds of 4.6 Mach

Ukraine doesn’t have systems capable of intercepting Kh-22s, but Patriot may be able too

@in_caucasus That’s Odesa which was hit by a Kh-22, not by a Shahed

The Kh-22 is Soviet Missile made in the 1960s. It has a very large warhead, it’s extremely inaccurate, and flies at speeds of 4.6 Mach

Ukraine doesn’t have systems capable of intercepting Kh-22s, but Patriots possibly could

@in_caucasus Also that crater does not resemble a Shahed. Compare the firefighter to the crater. It's a Kh-22 which has a very large warhead, and Shaheds are more accurate then that, and wouldn't cause that much destruction
