Storm, really? What's the second brigade named, Winter?

Another air raid on Ukraine last night, speculation that Russia was seeking out the Patriots.

They were using Hypersonic Kinzhal Ballistic Missiles again.

All targets were destroyed.



The "legendary" and "unstoppable" Hypersonic Kinzhal Ballistic Missile which Russia has been bragging about for years as being able to hit targets anywhere in the world and a threat to NATO has now been shot down 7 times by USA Patriots within weeks of them being available in Ukraine and with expedited training.

Meanwhile, Russia is struggling to intercept the much slower Storm Shadow.

Credit to Ukraine too, they're taking that limited training and making full use of it already, as if they've been working with these air defence systems for years and considering they have to layer multiple different systems on top of each other, what they're achieving with limited systems is extremely impressive.

Now lets send them even more Patriots!

Lmao. Just noticed that.

Translation error, the drone is called SuperCam.

I predict Zaluzhny and his Army will eventually liberate most — if not all — of the land occupied by the Russians in this offensive. I know the Ukrainian army, and I also know the Russian army, and there is no doubt in my mind that will be the ultimate result of this offensive campaign. But it is impossible to say with any certainty how exactly it will play out. We can assume it will be a difficult fight. It will severely test the newly assembled Ukrainian force. It will result in many tragic casualties on both sides. And it will strain Russian President Vladimir Putin's will.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will also need to prepare for what happens after these initial battles. Ukrainian civilians in the occupied territory will need humanitarian assistance. Massive demining operations will be necessary, as the Russians have been scattering mines and cluster munitions across fields in anticipation of the counteroffensive. And criminally damaged infrastructure will need to be rebuilt.

Peace and victory will come to Ukraine. But it will likely not be an easy one, nor will it be lasting. For those reasons, the West must continue its support.
