Poster Comment:
The Russians have a new spotter system for artillery that gives exact coordinates in 5 seconds. The Russians normally fire 10 artillery rounds for every one the Ukrainians do. But the Ukrainians are losing their artillery all along the Donbass frontline. Bakhmut and several positions north are in danger of being encircled, meaning the Ukrainians take artillery fire from 3 directions and they are cut off from food, diesel and ammunition. Their MOD wants to pull his troops out as does Secretary Austin but Zelensky is delusional and says No. Lots of NATO troops will die or be captured.
