RFE: Ukraine Says It Has Established 'Several Bridgeheads' Along East Bank Of Dnieper River
The Ukrainian military says it has established "several bridgeheads" on the eastern banks of the Dnieper River in Russian-occupied territory of the southern Kherson region following a "series of successful operations."
The Ukrainian Marine Corps said in a statement published on Facebook on November 17 that operations were continuing on the eastern banks of the Dnieper and that Russian forces had suffered heavy losses "in manpower and equipment."
Ukrainian forces are trying to push Russian forces away from the Dnieper to stop the shelling of civilian areas on the Ukrainian-held west bank, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said on November 17.

WNU Editor: The view in Russia is different .... Russia says it’s ‘destroying’ Ukrainians that crossed into occupied territory, vowing to inflict ‘hell’ on them (CNBC).
The sources that I trust tell me that this bridgehead is a meat grinder for the Ukrainian soldiers who are being deployed there. Supply and logistics coupled with inadequate air defense are the reasons why this "new" offensive will not make any headway. But it is good PR and the hope is that it will raise morale.

ReplyDeleteIf the bridgeheads are a meat grinder for Ukraine and the Ukrainians have no reserves than how are the bridgeheads still there and multiplying?
ReplyDeleteWe do know that the Russians sent two regiments form other areas of the line to Kherson. So somebody is getting whacked.
The Ukrainians have enough time and equipment on their hands to hunt Russians on motorcycles.
Meanwhile the Russians expended missiles against Selydove and committing yet another war crime. I saw no military equipment there. Just a shattered apartment building. Is this why Bukhanka had a beer?
Maybe the term “Bridgehead” is an exaggeration but the Russians don’t want to argue that point with words.
DeleteLOOMING AIR BATTLE: In preparation for Ukrainian F-16s entering the fight, UK Intel reports that Russia is “likely” to use its updated A-50 ‘Mainstay-D’ AWACs-type aircraft. The Mainstay-D will be used to control RU aircraft to engage UKR fighters.
ReplyDeleteBiden to Putin: "Here is the deal man. I have dragged my feet long enough on the F-16s. People are becoming suspicious, I will drag my feet a little longer until you can get in a place a counter, the A-50. For real. Not a joke."

I am looking forward to the day this becomes more widespread
If it is perceived as threat then the MoD looks bad.
ReplyDeleteIf you pretend they are tearing you up, but you are tearing them up, making it look bad allows you to farm them.
I look to how deeply and how often each side strikes. Naturally, since President Joe Bidet has received Russian money through his shell companies he is a worthless FUCK! I hope he or his son caught some sort of incurable VD. So for the next 3 or 4 months Russia has an edge in the air with their bombings.
But when colonels way behind the lines are dying, then maybe things are not going smoothly for the Ivan chuckleheads.
Actual mental illness to believe Pedo Joe works for the Russians through some nebulous shell companies when he openly reaped huge amounts of cash through his Ukrainian fiefdom. What are the chances your tactical assessments are also recycled ukrainian twitter conspiracies? Get a grip on reality.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden reaped money from Russia, Romania, Ukraine and China.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden was and is an equal opportunity ho.
It is up to a bankruptcy court to determine, who holds the deed to Joe Biden in the final analysis.
How the Biden family used shell companies to enrich themselves
Now grab your favorite sex toy, you Russian fuck and take the rest of the day off.
"The Biden family and associates allegedly had about 20 shell companies that received money from entities in several nations including Ukraine, Russia, China, Romania, Kazakhstan."
ReplyDeleteI forgot Kazakhstan. Biden spread his legs for the Kazakhs too.
Did Putin pop Biden's cherry? Was he the first? If not Vladimir should get checked out for STDs.
And how does the $150 billion gifted to Putin's enemy fit into this narrative?
ReplyDeleteThis war is a meat grinder for BOTH sides, Russia may win some land because they have more resources, but it’s hell on both. One tail tail sign is Russia’s difficulty with raising new commands
ReplyDelete"And how does the $150 billion gifted to Putin's enemy fit into this narrative?"
ReplyDeleteYou deny that foot dragging can tip the conflict to Russia's side and still have cover?
If Biden flatly refused any aid, he would look 100% Manchurian.
If he gives some aid but not enough, he has cover. When Ukraine had the Kherson and Karkhiv offensives on 2022, F-16s, ATACMS would have been nice.
With a more complete mix of weaponry, Ukraine might have bene able to take advantage of the Russians having no defenses i=on the left banks for a few to several days.
Just How Much Aid Has the U.S. Sent to Ukraine?

So Joe authorized $77 billion through July 2023. So where is the 150 billion? Yeah, that is Europe. Joe really cannot tell the EU to drag their feet.
