So in 4 days Ukraine has taken back several settlements in Zaporizhia, multiple kilometers north of Bakhmut and south towards Klishchiivka, penetrated the first line of Russian defense near Robotyne and has been hammering Russian buildups in places like Tokmak, with HIMARS. A quietly, successful first few days, with acceptable (although sad) losses.

They're also using RAAM mines, launched from HIMARS, to mine the roads that Russians have to use to retreat. As they attempt to fallback, they'll have to move through remote detonated minefields.

I'm expecting a tough week ahead for the Russians. As their prepared quantities of ammunition gets low at their prepared defensive locations, we're going to see a lot of carnage.

why does all the Russian footage look like VHS quality?
They have Garmin GPS' in their $35 million usd fighter aircraft because their own systems are terrible. Their guidance systems in the majority of their missiles are dogshit. They have command level military personnel (all extreme alcoholics) getting drunk and shooting at their own PMCs. 25% of their population don't have indoor plumbing. They're stealing toilets, dishwashers and washing machines as war bounty. They're trash people, from a trash culture, with trash values and trash life expectancy.... The question is why wouldn't they have VHS quality video?

Also, don't be fooled by their propaganda. They show the same attacks from multiple angles. They photoshop vehicles into pictures, etc... It's all designed to try to win the information war by making the Ukrainian losses seem more extreme than they are.

I read a very strange news. The Russia Federation itself would officially support a website with pirated content. So let's say a movie was made by Hollywood. The Russia Federation will publish this movie on that site without paying any intellectual property fees and will be able to make the Russians watch this pirated movie for free!

What kind of mentality is this, I don't understand.

Ukraine should get some jamming devices from Turkiye. We have ones that even soldiers can wear, i suspect they would be enough for things like lancet.

I'm not shitting on Turkey by any stretch. I understand the unique position they're in and their tenuous (at times) relationship with NATO. I also know that they've quietly donated military aid to Ukraine behind the scenes.

That said, I wish they'd just come right out an openly support Ukraine and give Russia two middle fingers in the process. Turkey has one of the largest, best armed military forces in Europe. Russia has been threatening them for years. This would be a great chance for them to help stick a knife in the heart of the Russian military. It would put a big smile on my face to see Turkey announce a military package including...

14× Leopard 2 MBTs
50x Leopard 1 MBTs
100x M113 APCs
100x BMC Kirpi MRAPs
18x Firtina 1 Howitzers
18x M110 203mm Howitzers
10x Sakarya 122mm MLRS
50,000 155mm artillery shells
50,000 203mm artillery shells
10,000 122mm Sakarya rockets

Turkey could easily afford to send this package without any meaningful degradation to their military capability.

In exchange for this package, I would expect the USA to approve the immediate sale of F-16V fighter aircraft to Turkey, as well as HIMARS and GMLRS, both of which the Turks would like to buy.

One can hope :)

I could say maybe it could happen if the current political conjuncture was changed...As for the items on the list you made except 14× Leopard 2 MBTs , 50x Leopard 1 MBTs ,18xFırtına 1 Howitzers Türkiye can easily afford to send this package.In order for Turkey to send the Leopards, Greece must also be included in the equation.In return for the tanks that Türkiye will send, Greece needs to send enough tanks to Ukraine that will not upset the balance in the Balkans.In order for Fırtına howitzers to be sent, Germany must provide a certain number of power groups.So that we can produce new ones to replace the missing howitzers from the inventory in the short term.On top of these, Türkiye can support Ukrain with training the pilots for F16s .
In exchange for this package, I would expect the USA to approve the immediate sale of F-16V fighter aircraft to Turkey, as well as HIMARS and GMLRS, both of which the Turks would like to buy.

Türkiye already has Himars equivalent systems and its is being produce.So we don't need a concession from the US on this.But the other hand F16V issue is important.In return for the aid package to Ukraine, the sale of 40 F16Vs and the modernization of 80 in the inventory is quite fair.On top of that, the second thing we will ask for is the supply of 60-80 F110 engines for the MMU program.

Thats true. The Russian Federation will establish a new internet infrastructure. They will give each person a password. Russians who will not be able to access the Internet without a password. No matter where a person logs in, their every move will be tracked by the KGB. Using a VPN and staying anonymous will be impossible. They will rob people of their freedom, but they will offer them "free" digital content. Of course, all these content will be pirated products. They have a completely sick mind.
