I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the 838 day of the war.

Day 838: Jun 10

Today, there are a lot of updates from the Kharkiv direction.

Here, after Ukrainians had seized the initiative in all directions in the region, Russians decided to respond by resorting to their dominant tactic of sending waves of infantry groups, using significant amounts of their reserves in a desperate attempt to preserve the initiative. However, Ukrainians unleashed all available weapons, including HIMARS rockets that were just waiting for the green light from Western partners, particularly the United States.

Since the full-scale war began in February 2022, the American administration has prohibited Ukrainians from striking Russian territory with Western-made weapons. Consequently, Ukrainians had to watch as Russians prepared for another offensive against Kharkiv without being able to preemptively target enemy forces. This culminated in another Russian attempt to seize Kharkiv last month. In response, Ukrainians intensified diplomatic efforts to gain permission to strike key bases, equipment, ammunition depots, and anti-aircraft systems in Russia's Belgorod region. Finally, President Joe Biden granted this request, albeit limited to the area near Kharkiv.

Ukrainians had already planned their next actions and were awaiting permission to start their wave of strikes. In order to open the air space for the usage of HIMARS and other weapons, their first targets became Russian radars and air defense systems. Within hours they were able to successfully locate and destroy one of the most modern enemy surveillance radars – Kasta 2E2. The geolocated footage from the Belgorod region shows how they are using one of their locally developed loitering munition systems – RAM 2. The first drone targets the truck carrying the antenna and the second successfully destroys the command post vehicle.

This was immediately followed by a massive launch of HIMARS rockets which can be seen in this video released by the Ukrainian forces. Being blinded by the destruction of powerful radars, the Russians reported that various elements of anti-aircraft systems S300 and S400 were hit. Soon the Russians shared images and videos that confirm the damage to these vital weapons, which they are using not only defensively for interception of air threats but also offensively for striking ground targets. If you want access to original uncensored combat footage showing the devastating aftermath of HIMARS strikes, you can find it on our Telegram channel using the link in the description.

Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the frontline reported that soon after those initial strikes, their armed forces began using fighter jets, helicopters, and artillery more intensely than before. A geolocated video from the Kharkiv region shows Ukrainian helicopters returning after performing combat tasks in the vicinity of Vovchansk. The next video shows the devastating work of Ukrainians jets against concentrations of enemy forces in the city. Once again, Ukrainians waited until Russians gather in a large local building and then targeted it with gliding bombs to eliminate them. It is important to know that this building was located very close to the Ukrainian positions in the high-rise building district of Vovchansk. The Russians were attempting to gather a large force for a storm operation against the Ukrainian stronghold north of the Vovcha River which has caused them problems for weeks now. Russian forces that survived the attack were quick to capture the aftermath of this devastating strike. The original uncensored videos of this operation can be found on our Telegram channel as well.

The magnitude of all these Ukrainian attacks prompted the Russian Ministry of Defense to claim that the Ukrainian command has transferred up to 12 M270 self-propelled multiple rocket launch systems in the Kharkiv region to support counter-offensive measures in this direction. This exact model can fire up to 12 rockets in comparison to the more common M142 launcher which can fire up to 6 rockets. Even though there is no precise information on exactly how many systems the Ukrainians have received from their partners, they were quick to add fuel to the fire of speculations, by publishing images of dozens of empty HIMARS rocket tubes with the additional...

So for over 2 years Ukraine could not use Western military equipment to target the Russian forces inside Russia ...bit like fighting with your hands tied behind your back...common-sense has finally prevailed

I genuinely love seeing my tax dollars used to defend Ukraine from Russian aggression. And this actually helps our military as well, because every piece of equipment we give to Ukraine is being replaced with a new one made here in the U.S., increasing our operational readiness, providing thousands of high-paying jobs, and giving our military extremely valuable information about how our weapons systems perform in a real force-on-force combat scenario. And all of this without risking any American soldiers, and while spending a fraction of what we spend every year on defense; for context, the total amount of aid we've provided to Ukraine over the last three years totals around $175 billion, and we spend over $900 billion on our military every year.

Ukraine gets to defend itself from invasion, we get to demolish Russia's military with no American casualties, we get to test our weapons in combat, stimulate the economy, create jobs, and restock our own military with newer and better equipment to replace the old stuff we gave Ukraine. That's a win-win-win-win-win-win for the U.S. and Ukraine and a lose-lose for Russia! I love it.

I'm here before the Rusbots. Time to harvest their comments and time.

How's this for a list of restrictions on Western weapons:
1) Don't commit war crimes
2) End of List

300 rockets were launched of which 491 were intercepted.

"308, INCOMING!"
"You mean the bullet diameter, right?"
"No, comrade - MISSILES!"

Himars is American for “eat shit, Ivan”.

Damn. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that. That Russian base has got to have more craters than the moon. “If there's one thing I know, it's never to mess with mother nature, mother in-laws and, mother freaking Ukrainians.”

"...didn't hesitate to demonstrate the benefits of that decision..." is so well said.

One of the best report today 💪👍, good thing for the west to wake up from their stupid slumber.

Russia's Future is bleeding out on the plains of Ukraine. #Sad for All.

For the HIMARS and M270 launchers, the M30 GMLRS rocket carries 404 DPICM M101 submunitions out to around 92 km. Not quite as many as the original M26 rocket carrying 644 DPICM M77 submunitions but you get better range and accuracy. Keep in mind when the US sent 155mm DPICM, those were considered a game changer and they "only" carry 88 per shell out to about 30km. I'd say send all the "expired" cluster munition stockpiles. I'm sure Ukraine could find a way to decommission them.

Russian Copimum is very strong, and tells them the opposite of reality. They honestly still believe that Russia is beating UKraine and taking village after village around the Kharkiv region. Its so funny.😂😂

stocks must be pretty full if you can shoot that many himars at once

This whole episode is one big:
"Unfortunately for Russians..."

What happens if the Ukraine was allowed to fight without having one hand tied down? Would victory be closer?

When Ukraine gets the F16's they will be able to use western weapons in their most lethal mode. Like the HARM for example. Its not compatible with old Soviet aircraft so Ukraine has to fire the missile and if there is a SAM system in the area, radiating, the HARM should find it. Not only that but Ukraine's air to air and air to ground missiles are not fire and forget. Once the missile is launched the plane has to continue to fly behind it in order for the planes guidance system to guide it to the target. This makes it very, very dangerous for the pilot. When Ukraine gets tge fire and forget that will be a HUGE upgrade.
