Ukraine - Superthread

[Spencer100]

I believe both INKAS and Roshel have a common founding.

INKAS is owned and founded by David Khazanski. A Canadian/Russian citizen.

Roshel is founded by Roman Shimonov

Roman Shimonov was a big part of the INKAS team before a falling out in 2016.

Toronto manufacturer INKAS is expanding five-fold thanks to its sharp focus on exports, R&D and customization.

Crazy night in kherson, estimated 5-20k Russians are still on the west side if the river. Ukrainian forces have entered kherson city, and the UAF is in turkey shoot mode.

Why the sensitive content warning? People cheering and crying is triggering now? Not a gun or weapon in site.

Well, if you're Russian.....

Was I the only one that saw this as ass-covering Kabuki theatre? [Shoigu] “We must also think of the safety of the civilians…”

Seemed like they were trying to drop anti-war crimes bread crumbs in the public arena.

SAD. Doesn't look like the Russians left many civilians behind to cheer the returning Ukrainian army. Now how do you get the forcefully evicted back home?

5-20k Russians killed during the retreat!? Holy s**t…

Even if that number is on the low end of the estimate at 5000 - that’s one helluva send off!


•Tell me you don’t like the Russians invading without telling me you don’t like the Russians invading… Whoa, shit, i didn’t say go kill them all!*

I haven't seen any evidence of annihilation or mass captures so far.

Krab vs MSTA

Counter-Battery duel - drones + Krab = 4 rounds per kill

Russians firing more rounds but making no ground

Ukrainians poaching ground at the rate of 5 km per week

Krab has put 3500 rounds down range through a Polish barrel rated for 1500 rounds.

[Kirkhill]

Barrel life of 1500 rounds but 3500 rounds shot.

If using Excalibur, PGKs and other terminally guided rounds does the "1500" number still hold water?

I presume there are two effects of wear - accuracy and durability. Do PGMs extend the life of the barrels - assuming similar charges?

Not directly
But any course correcting round will effectively increase usable barrel life as they are not solely reliant upon the barrel for dispersion.

5 to 20k is estimated personal the russian had, not casualties

I read 5-20k Russian bodies on the west side of the river…

And ‘turkey shoot’ and my brain was like “Nah, that can’t be right…but what if it is?”

I tend to think this German analysis is closer to the reality: "We won't shell the F out of your troops and allow them to escape if you don't destroy the city and remaining civilians"

A good thread from one of the better open source observers, putting this op (and huge success) into context:
