Another One BTW.

High precision debris from Ukrainian drones and missiles have hit another russian ammo depot in Krasnodarsk region (Krai), Tihoretsk. It’s one of the key key ammo depots for russian ammo logistics for Donbas theatre. pic.twitter.com/4s0sVhjcVi

🔥/1. The Tikhoretsk ammunition depot was not the only Russian ammunition storage facility which got destroyed tonight.

The second, a bit smaller, arsenal in Toropets, Tver region, got targeted tonight as well.

/7. The air raid alarm in Tikhoretsk was not triggered by a new Ukrainian attack, but by ammunition from a warehouse detonating and flying in all directions, including the city. An example is on video. pic.twitter.com/wx4WV2C4kq

Ukraine might have destroyed some artillery systems in the strike on the 719th Artillery Ammunition base. In 2021 the base held more than 200 towed artillery units (marked red) and in a more recent image from August 2024 there were still 58 units left. pic.twitter.com/JZyJHJk0iC

Sentinel-2 infrared satellite pass over Tikhoretsk after an extremely successful Ukrainian strike on Russia's 719th Artillery Ammunition Base overnight.

Lol, Russia definitely doesn't have contingency plans for losing this amount of ammunition. Not saying this will break their neck, but they must be furious. https://t.co/3f4nwk2Lgw

1500 Russian casualties yesterday, including 22 tanks and 63 artillery systems. Everything is running very very poorly for Russia right now. They are throwing everything they have against Ukraine to expel them and it's only giving the Russians more casualties. Could the futility of the Russian attempts be a sign of the beginning of the end?

This is the most desperate and yet wasteful move that Putin has made with this war. So, Russia has revamped its crew from the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier and turned it into a mechanized infantry battalion. These crew were valuable because they had specialized training, and years of experience. This carrier was the pride of Russia's navy and had the best people possible running it. Now they are sent into the meat grinder. It reminds me of when Germany threw its navy crew and repurposed them for its army to keep the Soviets away. Now things have reversed and its both ironic and quite wasteful.

So Russia already entering the Volksgrenadier stage of it's army?

Next stage, Volkssturm. After that, only Werwolf is left to scraping the barrel... but since those were Guerrilla units to fight off any invading force, that would be more in case Russia breaks apart with it's states revolting and try to break off.

lol, well if we are gonna go there then both armies use crappy prisoner troops. So, to a degree both are in the first stage of degradation. I don't think that either will decline past that though. If things get too bad then one side will sue for peace.

Guardian article is saying that the United States is being too weak with Russia and that this stance is encouraging the Russians. Goes on about America's fears of escalation
