It appears that the new artillery is working:

1. As War News Goes...

Ukraine hitting Russia back is a “man bites dog” headline and appears to be good news.

But actually this is the most dangerous days of the entire war. What will Putin do now that there’s no hiding the military defeat from even the Russian people anymore?

In the “man bites dog” analogy—this dog has rabies. Ukraine can’t just go back to square one, Russia destroyed their home squares all over the country.

2. Putin losing men and equipment daily is not a good sign..

[denbot]

7. Yeah it is..

As a matter of fact, it’s the whole point.

[Igirl]

22. Why? Attrition is

A main tactic of war.

[Roy Rolling]

24. Of Course

It’s that single point of realization that is most dangerous. The moment Putin realizes he has destroyed himself, his country, his wealth, his world respect (?), and his people’s admiration.

When a dictator suddenly realizes his defeat is inevitable it’s either all-out war or he hides in an underground bunker. I trust Biden knows this, too, and the world depends on him at this moment to assemble his 60 years of experience to accomplish the seemingly impossible.

But attrition is certainly an effective weapon of war.

6. The world and especially Russia has to take its medicine. Swallow the bitter pill now or later when

the disease is worse? I think now, before the disease kills us all.

14. The run up to May 9....

Russia's Thanksgiving and July 4th rolled into one, is a dangerous time. What will Putin do as the facade becomes thinner and more frayed? There's got to be chatter within the populace as more kids come home in boxes or simply disappear, left to rot on some battlefield. That's tough to control even in a totalitarian state. Particularly in the cities where Russians are far more familiar with the world beyond their borders than in the far flung villages.

Then again, every moment of this is dangerous in its own right.

25. May 9 could be significant

If nothing more than a psychological deadline. If Putin’s plan is a May extravaganza, the moment he realizes that ain’t gonna happen is most dangerous. Now mind you, I’m no war college graduate, just a student of human psychology.

3. My first guess is it wasn't artillery that destroyed a command post.

I'd bet on some sort of missile strike; either by jet or drone.

[denbot]

8. It was arty.

I’ve seen multiple sources with the same story.

[AllyCat]

9. Between this and what, to me, looks like sabotage

at Russian industrial complexes that were key to their military support, RF is having a bad week so far.

4. Did Russia lose anymore generals?

[Brother Buzz]

17. As a matter of fact, yes

Ukrainian Defense Intelligence reported that yesterday’s destruction THIS command post near Kherson yielded 2 dead Russian generals and critically wounding a 3rd one

[Historic NY]

5. Counter-battery fire capabilities have been greatly improved...

with the new equipment, they have gotten. That ought to light a few more Russians.

[paleotn]

15. Yep. Make them shoot and scoot.

[lastlib]

10. Cut off the head of the snake......

Russian military doesn't seem to function well when they lose the ones at the top. (I don't suppose any military does, but Russia seems to be worse, with their lack of an NCO corps.)

Opinion of a man who knows nothing of military function....

26. wouldn't be the new US supplied artillery yet

They are still training the Ukrainians on them, as they are different from what they had been using before.

Probably will be weeks (at minimum) before those see action.

27. I was hoping that you were referring to

New Dem Strategies for the midterms…but this’ll do.
