When looking at the data, the two main types of equipment that are getting destroyed the most are artillery systems and supply trucks. This means that despite those assets being behind the lines, they are actively being sought out and destroyed. This is a good strategy. Without either, the roach army is fried.
If the coward in chief – that semi-conscience disaster – would finally give the green light for Ukraine to attack the enemy’s airfields further in mafia land, we’d see fixed wing aircraft and choppers more often on the daily destruction list … and fewer bombings of civilian targets.
News from Chasiv Yar is unfortunately not so good. From the DT yesterday:
“Ukraine’s troops have retreated from a district of the crumbling, but strategic eastern city of Chasiv Yar, a day after a day after Russia claimed its troops had captured ground.
Moscow’s forces have relentlessly been attacking the now flattened city, which holds the keys to the rest of the Donbas, for months from land and air.
“It became impractical to hold the canal neighbourhood after the enemy entered it…the positions of our defenders were destroyed,” military spokesperson Nazar Voloshyn said on national TV.
“The command decided to pull back to more protected and prepared positions, but even there the enemy does not stop its active combat actions,” he added.
Holding Chasiv Yar, which lies six miles from Bakhmut, was crucial for Ukraine due to its elevated and strategic location. Its military has sought to downplay its retreat, calling it “small” and “not important”.
