I have repeatedly been saying that the best defense for Ukraine is offense. More please.

The Russian military would be more concerned about the ammo dump they lost, than the cannon fodder.

a first step on the right path to speed up the process of restoring fair, solid and permanent peace in Ukraine

[eymeeraosaka]

This is without any doubt a serious set-back for Russia....The tenacity of the Ukrainian army is indeed laudable. The superiority of the Russian army is now shattered...

[harryhirsch]

Allegedly Ukraine found out about the place because of extreme use of mobile phones in the area. Counting how many phones went silent may give an estimate of the russian losses.

When the Russian submarine Kursk sank in a training exercise the Russians said at first that the whole crew had been saved. When the Russian cruiser Moskva sank, the Russians said that it was because of an onboard fire and that only one person died. The Russians said that the HIMARS attack killed only 63 people.
