Hopefully Ukraine and Poland work it out. So far the Ukrainian-Polish relationship during this war has been nothing short of incredible.
 

More donations announced from Germany.
M26 (AT2) are not the cluster munition variant but variant carrying anti-tank mines. 'Different versions' for 120mm means normal, smoke, illumination apparently.
I wonder what the 50 unmanned surface vessels are.

Exclusive: Ukraine’s special services ‘likely’ behind strikes on Wagner-backed forces in Sudan, a Ukrainian military source says (CNN)
War expands to the African continent? Hey @Haiduk, since you are our local expert on the Ukrainian military have you heard anything about this?

Had to look twice, because I couldn't comprehend what I saw on CNN ticker:
"Russian peacekeepers evacuate people from Nagorno-Karabach".
Talk about the best example of an oxymoron..

it is accurate
and it is what ultimately saved Odesa from occupation. Because we didn't yet know how truly brutal collaborators and traitors will be.

Speaking of genius, this comment is up there with the good folks at Wikipedia;
“thats 3 divisions worth of units...  why should the ukr army do a "break out" if the russians are bringing the the units to the ukr forces to kill...”
Witnessing train crash in slow motion, everyone is expecting the blitz of last fall in Kharkiv 2022. Shall we be paying attention to the potential crash across the board. Not suggesting Putin is giving up tomorrow but plenty of events shaping up to compounding bad news for Russians.

Interesting qualitative first from Korea:
 
 

Supposedly leaked photos of the submarine. This doesn't look good. Which is very good.

This was in Saturday. 4 Iskander-K at the morning and S-300 close to midnight. Local administration just reported about fire on object in NE part of the city
Russians conducted two missile/Shakhed strikes for weekend. First was mostly directed against Odesa oblast. AD shot down 6 missiles of 10 and 6 of 6 Shakheds. Touch and hold a clip to pin it. Unpinned clips will be deleted after 1 hour.
This night Russians likely targeted Starokostiantyniv airfield again and probably some objects in Dnipro city. Shakeds were directed to Mykilaiv and Odesa oblasts. AD shot down 17 of 17 missiles and 18 of 24 Shakheds

I feel like we should be celebrating more that Kadyrov is very likely dead. 

Something is afoot.  You don't start an air & naval campaign only to stop it after some success. The enemy just recuperates and hardens,making a round 2 much harder. I suspect UKR has properly begun its Crimea prep. 
 

Interesting, update on the incident from last year, but what I think most suspected

Big numbers today for artillery destroyed:

Hard to believe the US Armed forces don't have something like Starlink to aid the Ukraine. Private business is in it for the revenue. 

And,  because I'm Capt. Smarty Pants,  3rd Armchair Coy,  1114th Backseat Driver Bde,  I predicted and suggested hitting ships in dockyard almost a year a ago. Especially hitting sub shore support facilities. 
Very glad to see this happening. 

If the Russian sub was taken out, it would be the first time a military submarine was destroyed by a hostile adversary since WWII.  This isn't trivial.      

Tangentially OT, but I bought and played CM:Touch briefly in 2015, and liked it for its CM1 QB-like ease of play.
The scale (map size, AFV count and smallish fire teams) is actually pretty close  to a lot of the tactical actions we see here in UKR.
Any chance of doing a quick makeover for Black Sea?
BMPs for tanks, APCs for HTs, add mines, quicker arty response, longer range ATW,  thumb up the fatigue thresholds so infantry can't dash around so much over long distances.
...Could make a useful training aid too, for small unit leaders to practice the basics of recce, moving to contact, suppression and envelopment. Less of a learning curve than the full CM.

Does no-one else think that this is one of the more sensible and right-headed decisions the Russians have made, during this war?  If the Russian expectation (practically their intention, as far as I can see) is that they will lose a large number of tanks, then surely your 50 year old tank stock is exactly the stock you should run down first?  What else is it for?
I'm not saying it doesn't expose various kinds of 'flaws' in the Russian way of working and I'm not saying they haven't lost embarassing numbers of modern vehicles but I really don't think the reappearance of T-55s in Russian frontline service is necessarily a sign of desperation, at all.

Who can do this? 

It does sound too good to be true, but if someone in the world is dumb enough to prioritize fuel for needless war instead of for food, it is Putin and his regime.

Mashovets' update had this to say about Russian artillery:

So, warfare in the future is very much playing a computer game. Operator in some secure control room directing operations with drones and UGVs.

I suppose the North Korea deal was the shot across the bow.
