Ukraine is Fighting against Moscovian Hordes. Day 433. It has Already Started.
Rain, rain go away,
Come again some other day:
Let the Kremlin orcs be slain.
It looks like the weather has changed at last. One week, two at most for the sun to dry up the soil and the Ukrainian army will be ready start its offensive operation. NATO officials have announced recently that 98% of armored vehicles and tanks promised are in Ukraine already. Although we badly need missiles with a range of at least 180 miles and western type jet fighters, preferably F16, we can’t afford wasting time any more. That means we’ll have to launch the offensive without combat aircraft support. This means, in its turn, that our losses will be significantly heavier. Hopefully, the aforementioned missiles will eventually be sent. In any case, the United Kingdom has already declared its readiness to transfer such missiles to Ukraine. Thank you so much, dear Britain!
However, judging by many signs, the offensive operation has already begun. Now this is done in the form of so-called battlefield preparation. These days, the destruction of ammunition depots, fuel bases, enemy communications, and its command posts has intensified significantly. Among the most notable actions of the Ukrainian troops, we can mention here the crossing of the Dnieper River and the creation of a military foothold on its left bank, as well as the destruction of at least the half of the fuel reserves of the Moscovian Black Sea Fleet on the eastern cape of Kozak Bay (Sevastopol, Crimea). And this is just the beginning.
Meanwhile, the total enemy losses, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since February 24, 2022 till May 2, 2023 are:
in manpower: about 191 420;
in tanks : 3 701;
In combat armored vehicles: 7 193;
in artillery systems : 2 930;
in MLRS : 544;
in anti-aircraft warfare systems: 298;
in aircraft: 308;
in helicopters: 294;
in UAV: 2 477;
in cruise missiles: 947;
in military vehicles: 5 851;
in special equipment: 360;
in Navy warships and boats: 18
More precise data is complicated due to the high intensity hostilities
