The U.S could easily supply JASSM in the triple digits if they want to. Don't know why they're holding back.

Now they note small tactical successes on the flanks of the Russian group of troops near Bakhmut. The Ukrainians pushed the Russians a little. Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, yells on the air that the lands occupied with so much bloodshed surrender without a fight. Lands in blue are marked as front breakthroughs from May 11, 2023
The commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny, therefore, refused to meet at NATO due to the difficult combat situation at the front

Russia is trying to knock out the Ukrainians in the places of the breakthrough, and the Ukrainians are trying to gain a foothold there.
Russia has become more active in using aviation compared to previous months. They use bombardment with remote gliding bombs. During the day, the Russians launched 97 air strikes. The bombardments were in 4 directions: Bakhmut, Lyman, Avdeevka, Marinka

Sivkov says that out of those 250 tanks, or maybe a little more about 300, that are prepared for the counteroffensive, about 100 are T-64 BV tanks, of which more than 2 thousand were destroyed. 20 really good Leopard 2A6 and Challenger 2 tanks, about 20-25 of them can be expected. Another 30 tanks are Leopard 2 modifications A4 - this is the potential of the T-64 BV. The remaining 170 pieces are Leopard I tanks of modification A5. And the Leopard I tank, even in the A5 modification, is inferior in armor protection even to the Tiger of the Second World War. His tower is heavily protected in the frontal projection, and the hull is 70 mm, while the Tiger has 100 mm. Its sides are 40 mm, while the Tiger has 80 mm. Tower side protection is also 40 mm. Here, just for illustration. This tank, despite the fact that it has a good 105 mm gun, taking into account the modification of the T-55 AMD tank, is at best equal to it. The gun of the T-55 AMD is weaker than that of the Leopard I, but he, but he has the Barrier anti-tank complex with the Kastet missile with a combat range of 5.5 km with armor penetration of 800 mm, can easily deal with this Leopard. And the frontal armor, taking into account the modernization, is 200 mm on the hull and 200 mm on the turret. Here for illustration. And the T-62 with its 115 mm Hammer gun is significantly superior to the Leopard I.
Sivkov says there are 1,800 modern Russian tanks in Ukraine alone, according to Western estimates. Old T-64 tanks were sent to the front line so as not to expose the ATGMs to attack. And the West is going to use 250-300 tanks against them. Well, how? Is there a chance for success? None.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Reznik, said that Crimea would be handed over to Ukraine by the fifth column, that is, pro-Western people who would make a coup in Russia.
The United States is preparing for a military clash with Russia. They want to put brushwood for fuel into the dying fire of the Ukrainian war, throwing Polish troops there. Poland mobilized 200,000 people for this purpose.

"Putin has put himself in a situation where he can’t win, can’t lose and can’t stop. "

"Putin’s Plan B is to disguise that Putin’s Plan A has failed. If this military operation had an honest name, it would be called Operation Save My Face."

Lol, this isn't WWII. Ukraine isn't going to charge in against Russian tanks in some head-to-head battle. MBTs will be used in a completely different manner.

The first goal will be to use long range strike assets such as cruise missiles, GLDSB, GMLRS (HIMARS), JDAMS, Kamikaze drones, and air launched Hydra-70 and APKWS rockets to hammer Russian artillery positions, allowing Ukraine to move its own self-prolled artillery closer to the front lines. This has already been happening, as Ukraine has wiped out a staggering amount of Russian artillery over the last month or so. They'll then use Excalibur and SMART GPS guided artillery shells to hammer Russian defensive positions, targeting tanks and infantry build ups, from 40+ KM away. Only after they've softened up Russian defensive concentrations will they bombard the Russians with blanket style artillery, featuring 155mm and 152mm systems, but also tens of thousands of rounds of rocket artillery and air strikes.

At some point, after they've hammered Russian logistics behind the front, they'll use their armored brigades to advance. They'll hunt Russian MBTs and IVFs from long range, with Javelin missiles and TOW missiles, fired from concealed positions and from fast moving HMMWVs.

Ukraine is going to attempt something that Russia has been terrible at throughout this conflict. They're going to attempt to employ a western stylrcombined arms strategy.

Published footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" in the new Ukrainian EW station "Bukovel-AD". The Bukovel-AD electronic warfare complex was put into service in 2016 and is designed to combat drones. According to the developers, the complex suppresses the GPPS navigation of the Russian Orlan-10 UAVs at a distance of up to 100 km, the usual jamming radius: drones is up to 20 km, the deployment time of the complex is 2 minutes. The "Bukovel-AD" installation is placed on various chassis. As a result of the impact of the Lancet kamikaze drone, the Bukovel-AD electronic warfare complex burned down.

A couple interesting pieces of news today.

Belgium announced a new, 92 million Euro defense package for Ukraine today. The package will consist of armored vehicles, weapons and ammunition of undisclosed types. It will also include humanitarian supplies.
