Himars strikes take out six key supply bases.
Russian forces are using the railways however the supply dumps and the coordinated long range precision Ukrainian attacks that are targeting them have done phenomenal amounts of damage. You got to be careful when you're in war that you do not give away the locations of these vital supply dumps however it seems like Russian forces are totally willing to share this information freely with the Ukrainian military forces in the area.
Extreme levels bureaucracy are preventing on demand munitions shipments to front lines.. Russian supply lines cannot just rapidly. The fact that artillery shell supply lines are being targeted is just leading to further ammunition shortages to the Ukrainian Red army artillery units. They are forced to pick through the remains and use questionable ordinance that is survived or be forced into trying to find ammunition.
New ammunition deliveries are just going to constantly get targeted.
We are also getting word that ground launch sMall diameter bombs shipments have actually made it to the Ukrainian front lines as a testing phase. As well as it also sounds like this testing phase has passed with flying colors. Yep that's right we are seeing some extremely incredible weapons and munitions being used in this conflict.
This report sources the fact that Ukrainian forces are actually able to expand the weapon range and strike deep within Russian occupied territories with extremely lethal precision and capability.
Ukrainian ministry of defense announcement.
We have heard that Ukrainian forces are now able to access weaponry that is able to increase the range of Ukrainian weapon systems up to 150 km making it completely possible for Ukrainian forces to now hit any supply lines and ring occupied Ukrainian territories. So we are actually looking at a huge paradigm shift in this complex. The fact that now Ukrainian forces can absolutely reach Crimean targets as well as the precision capability that Western munitions provide is opening up an entirely new chapter in this conflict. And it really does seem like this entire conflict is a huge novel.
Big tank day for ukraine.
Denys!

Major fighting on the front lines has the situation pretty tenuous. Very touch and go however Ukrainian forces are throwing a massive amount of personnel and equipment into slowing down the Russian offensive however the Red army hasn't broken through. Yep that's right even with the massive amount of additional new supplies and equipment as well as manpower we see Russian forces unable to continue moving forward.
Poland actually delivered a bunch of unmodernized leopard 2 A4 variants.
Final Russian missile wave attack?
A bunch of questions are going out if Russia is going to be launching another big huge wave of missiles because we've seen the Russian fleet in the Black Sea coalesce and group up. Intelligence is coming out that Ukrainian forces are expecting another large wave of Russian cruise missiles to attack the country. Luckily we have a massive amount of air defense systems in place. The fact that Russia had to abandon continuous waves of missiles not only is shocking but also shows the desperation of the Russian people.
British armored personnel carriers arrive in ukraine. And also start the trek towards the front lines.
United Kingdom mine resistant armored personnel carriers.
Terra ops anniversary post. It's a short one and Frontline fighting has them lighting candles for warmth.
Russian big push. A huge Gamble.
Georgian legion and international fighters.
2008 Georgia was the subject of an invasion by the Russian federation which these fighters are supporting the liberation of their own country from Soviet Communist block dreams. In the 90s as well as 2004-2006 and 2008 we watched Russia conducting operations within that country. Basically this has been an ongoing war that Russia has been undertaking involving its neighbors and fertilizing them into submission as well as forcing them to be a part of the Russian federation by all sorts of crazy illegal and scandalous referendums to retain power. Which means that elements of fighting forces have been driven out of the country and as a result during this war have formed their own unit which is accepting international volunteers. They are extremely capable and highly motivated. Individuals that want to be a part of this group have to have experience that is verifiable. And there is actually plenty of military veterans out there with massive resumes that can be verified. The cream of the crop of these Western volunteers is immediately available and integration training can be pretty brief wow the previous military experience instantly allows an integration onto the battlefield for experienced warfighters.
Threats by Russia that Georgia had been taken as well as foreshadowing Ukraine being invaded as well as the Balkan States. Which would be a massive reason why so many soviet member states are joining NATO.
The Georgian international legion actually is really surprised and a part of showing the entire world that the Red army isn't this ferocious unbeatable machine that can never be stopped. In fact it's actually the opposite the Russian bear is easily confused as well as not very coordinated and has absolutely no communication skills. With this information there is a massive amount of Hope for the volunteers to the international legion as well as to the Georgian people as well that possibly they could see a chance at breaking the Soviet grip.
The chance at freedom and liberty is something that these countries are going to jump at and the experience with so many former Soviet countries has proven exactly that. Don't forget that is the real reason why Russia is really mad they have lost massive amounts of countries as well as had to quell domestic uprisings. Instead of focusing on a quality military as well as integrated leadership and command. Standing on its achievements in the past ended up being hubris. Unfortunately Russian forces ended up making massive mistakes and it just seems like they refuse to adapt in this conflict and are willing to absorb 80% losses to achieve their goals.
The individual they are interviewing has been in multiple conflict zones battling Russian federation troops in a massive campaign pretty Soviet States freedoms that honestly enough I know little about. I am sure that we will start learning more about this entire situation and conflict.
Individual getting interviewed also is the commander of the Georgian legion and started in 2014 we are going to see some extremely experienced individuals in the leadership. They're talking about having 1800 members and that those numbers are actually increasing. In fact I've heard a lot of reports from the front lines that that's absolutely true. With an exceptional high standard for operators they actually have an internal word of mouth recruiting process going on that is providing not only true rotation but also quiet large scale mobilizations. Absolutely these units take phenomenal amounts of casualties however the individuals fighting with these units not only understand the risks but have signed up specifically because of them as well as having very specific skill set to allow them to survive in those non permissible environments.
I've actually gotten a lot of reports and I've seen a lot of news of the United States military veterans with multiple deployments to Ukraine. In fact these individuals showed up with an entire set of gear specifically to conduct operations and at the end of their tour left everything they had for the front line fighters so that they had proper equipment. At which point they went back to the United States and Western Nations acquired another set of gear and a massive amount of other equipment and then redeployed. At the end of which of course once again upon arrival all of this equipment is quickly distributed across the front line fighters. This enhances the operational capabilities as well as a massive amount of morale boosting effects. Ukrainian forces are now getting massive amounts of equipment. So a lot of times as you're looking at photos and videos of the international legion individuals you see extremely high quality equipment and gear that normally wouldn't be basic military issue. However with the flexibility of the Ukrainian military dress code and allowances for personal protective equipment we see a lot of high speed low drag gear on the Ukrainian front lines. And a lot of these extremely huge operations are actually headlined and conducted by these international skilled warfighters. Literally we have the best of the international community wanting to test themselves against the Red army in combat.
During this interview a really important piece of information was dropped. The massive amounts of unqualified as well as untrained troops is bad. However unqualified untrained human wave attacks of criminals released from prison mixed in with regular Russian civilians have been forced into mobilizations.
The entire threat isn't the quality it is the quantity.
Quantity is a weapon of its own. However it actually can be whittled away and chopped down in the size. We are looking at a 100,000 soldiers that started this invasion and battle damage assessment by Western Nations is looking at 145,000 killed in action. That's 145% more killed in action soldiers than they began with.
It is my opinion that Ukrainian forces are absolutely using a massive amount of foreign previously trained military experienced individuals from across the globe. This integration of international expertise experience and knowledge has actually been set up very carefully. Incredible amounts of vetting go into background checks with anybody questionable being washed out instantly. Open enrollment for soldiers in the war zone ended up being extremely problematic at first with a bunch of con artists and internet influencers thinking to capitalize by volunteering for combat. The Ukrainian forces and international legion integrations have actually worked out very well.
Ukrainian forces breaking up Russian armored element advances.
Breaking down the offensive happened over the past year it is really astonishing to see how this entire conflict has developed. A year ago I was saying that the Russian war machine would be able to advance unopposed into Ukraine as well as takeover the operational tempo. However I was wrong. I actually completely and totally believed that Russia was going to be able to take this country in its announced time. Especially with all of the armored elements and combined assets they put in. The attack on the airport where Russian forces were actually denied a foothold and then the incoming Air transport craft that were on approach ended up getting Man portable surface to air strikes that ended up dropping one and completely shutting down the entire invasion plan.
Having a incredibly expensive and incredibly fatal Air transport be shot down carrying the most qualified Russian special operations personnel they currently possessed and reportedly taking out 33% of the entire special forces operations group with dropping one of the red armies vital transport aircraft. This was able to completely and totally disrupt the entire invasion as well as buying critical time for the Ukrainian army to reconsolidate and defend the capital. A lifetime ago however it seems like the math says it is only a year. However it is been an eternity to those in the middle of this conflict.
The Ukrainian army continue putting up massive Resistance and we watched a miracle happen. Russian forces were not able to overthrow Ukraine in the allotted amount of time and then two or three days turned into a week a week to turned into a month and now a month has turned into a year.
As the entire conflict started massive amounts of NLAW as well as Javelin missiles were sent which completely and totally disrupted the entire Red army advance. As well as these weapons earning a legendary place in world military conflict history. The fact that we see these modern munitions by themselves turning the tide of this entire conflict is incredible. However it definitely was not expected by the red army. I am sure the equipment and personnel loss to the Red army is something that is sorely needed now.
Ukrainians pushing Russia out of their country.
Polish news that is definitely connected with Ukraine. I've gotten some really good information out of them usually while I'm waiting for more up to date and detailed information to be released.
Incredible updating some footage from the front lines showing that raging fighting that's happening in the key cities. However that being said you're creating a forces are still standing tall.
Incredible drone footage of armored heavy weapons opening fire on a position with low light conditions and seeing the tracers snap out and speed into the target area before ricochets bounce all different directions is not only scary but oddly also beautiful. Most of the time you really can't see the tracers and heavy weapons engagements unless you're very specifically downrange and behind the weapon system. However certain times this has been captured from the front lines.
And my promotion tag line!
Budo brothers!
I'd definitely like to promote them. They are sending me a pair of these sticks. So in return I'd love to promote them here on the blockchain. Cool gear and martial arts videos that are phenomenal. and they are coming to our Blockchain ecosystem this year!
