Occult1 Posted May 10, 2022 #5103 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Russia pounds vital port of Odesa, targeting supply lines ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — Russian troops pounded the vital port of Odesa, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday, an apparent effort to disrupt the supply lines and Western weapons shipments critical to Kyiv’s defense. [...] Odesa is also a major gateway for grain shipments, and its blockade by Russia already threatens global food supplies. Beyond that, the city is a cultural jewel, dear to Ukrainians and Russians alike, and targeting it carries symbolic significance as well. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-putin-business-nato-moscow-c8e00f7bbc4f24aa40d70a4ac2d97adb According to reports, 7 hypersonic missiles were used to hit major targets.

Eldorado Posted May 10, 2022 #5112 Share Posted May 10, 2022 DARPA and its U.S. Air Force partner recently completed a free flight test of the Lockheed Martin version of the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC). The vehicle, after release from a carrier aircraft, was boosted to its Aerojet Rocketdyne scramjet engine ignition envelope. From there, it quickly accelerated to and maintained cruise faster than Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound) for an extended period of time. The vehicle reached altitudes greater than 65,000 feet and flew for more than 300 nautical miles. This is the second successful flight in DARPA’s HAWC program. Last September, a different vehicle configuration from another contractor team also reached hypersonic flight. https://www.darpa.mil/news-events/2022-04-05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammunition depot explosions tend to be rather large. More than likely Russia is just continuing its tradition of targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHunter Posted May 10, 2022 #5122 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Unconfirmed reports that in one location north of Kharkiv the Ukranian military has reached the border of Russia. If true it would of split the Russian forces north of Kharkiv and west of the river into two separate groups. Continued reports of Russia retreating from the area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occult1 Posted May 10, 2022 #5123 Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) U.S. intel: Putin preparing for "prolonged conflict" beyond eastern Ukraine The U.S. intelligence community assesses Russia is preparing for a "prolonged conflict" in Ukraine that is likely to become "more unpredictable and escalatory" due to a "mismatch" between Vladimir Putin's ambitions and military capabilities, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines testified Tuesday. [...] "But Putin most likely also judges that Russia has a greater ability and willingness to endure challenges than his adversaries and he is probably counting on U.S. and EU resolve to weaken as food shortages, inflation and energy prices get worse," Haines warned. https://www.axios.com/2022/05/10/us-intelligence-russia-ukraine-war-putin-goals If Putin is loosing now but winning late that's all that matters to him. People forget that in Syria, it took an entire year before Pro-Assad forces had any success at all. But they ended up degrading the ''moderate rebels'' a.k.a ISIS and taking back a lot of territories. The Russian Military are experts at attrition warfare. There will come a point where Westerners will stop caring about Ukraine. Our attention span is very short. While the USA is pouring billions upon billions to prop up the Ukrainian military, people will start to be very discontent about their grocery bills and higher and higher gas prices. They will start to question. Eventually, the media will shift the focus elsewhere. But Russia will not back down.

Kyiv, Odessa and Lviv are cities living relatively ''normal'' lives. They are not threatened by Russia at the moment. I've seen pictures of the shopping mall in Odessa, it is quite big and could have been used to store a lot of things.
