Hello everybody! Originally, this came into being as a sort of a ‘supplement’ to my ‘update’ published earlier today. Then it grew, and grew … until I decided to post it as a separate feature…. The last few weeks, reports and assessments began appearing in the social media according to which the Russian Armed Forces (VSRF) have significantly improved their so-called ‘reconnaissance-strike chain’ - at least on the tactical level.
Thanks for maybe the most useful report about the topic. Actually you also answered the question that captured my mind for weeks, namely a reason of suspended Patriot shots combo. Honestly if they simply short of missles it is not the worst option, because they can be bought or supplied in perspective. But if Russians created much more effective electronic contr measures, it would be much, much worse. Only SAM that could halt fully VKS Kab offensive would be Typhon with SM 6, but there is enormously small chance of supply in perspective of year or 2.
Thanks again Tom an interesting report and for me it cleared so things up., if I'm understanding this its not the Russians improved its system as much as they are just trying to target more and got it right a few times and I have to say if the 138th guys were sitting one spot of 3 hrs what the hell do they expect , that would be dumb not good training or following training but what do I know
Solid write up. You should have worked for us in 1-5th FA in the targeting cell, you definitely have the mindset for it. Excellent points on the location situation and how that really effects things. Nothing is ever simple, and it's never as simple as you think it should or would be.
Tom, you several times mention Myrhorod (Poltava region) but mean Myrnohrad (Donetsk region)
We who read this channel are the privileged. Nobody writing in the newspapers has anything like Tom's ability to analyse this conflict.

If Ukraine does not get a help from US it will be very hard to hold a line

Excellent article. The informants angle makes the most sense
It`s about time ZSU do the thing, where it force all civilians out of front line regions.
There are to many pro-Russian people or people easily to bribe.
Good analyze, that confirms oppinion of some Ukraine channels, that it`s intelligence leak.
Excellent analysis.
One question..Why is RUS making this effort, here, in this direcuand not others?
informants in Ukraine about what? Which frontline villages to hit?
