Be careful what you wish for; a former boss ran a hotel at Camp Lejeune frequented by Marines, and they would call superior officers in the instance that one of them got up to bad poo poo (which usually just involved a brawl). Memorably in one instance he was like "oh good, this is resolved" when Sergeant Whoeverthefuck showed up to take care of some drunk combative naked Marines. Nope, he started smoking them and making them do pushups while still butt naked just six feet away from the front door.

The Russians are getting stalled out by Ukrainian air power, which marks a distinct uptick in aviation usage in Bakhmut specifically. Air defense is too thick on the ground in the area as seen by UKR air defense downing a RU SU-24 and Ukrainian SEAD strikes against SAMs. Ukrainian air defense also downed 8 RU recon drones, so seeing 12 Ukrainian sorties in such a short time is a departure from previous operations


Now I am wondering, do J-DAMS count as aviation strikes?

You say this, and then apparently even Russian tankmen think the same too. Those who tried out the Armata said categorically they refused to trust their lives to that rattletrap. They'd sooner go to the front in T-62s than an Armata. This was from last month by the way.

This is the latest developments around Bakhmut based on OSINT, geolocated data, and battle information is sourced to the daily briefs of the UKR General Staff and others.

The Russians are getting stalled out by Ukrainian air power, which marks a distinct uptick in aviation usage in Bakhmut specifically. Air defense is too thick on the ground in the area as seen by UKR air defense downing a RU SU-24 and Ukrainian SEAD strikes against SAMs. Ukrainian air defense also downed 8 RU recon drones, so seeing 12 Ukrainian sorties in such a short time is a departure from previous operations

Russian casualties for the day reach 1,030 confirmed KIA and 4,240 casualties in total for the day (WIA/KIA/MIA). They lost 23 artillery systems today as well (sourced from minusrus). It's almost certain that Russian offensive will culminate soon if it hasn't already.

I see there's still one road out of Bakhmut that's still relatively clear but to me it looks like it's almost time to pull your troops out and let Russia have it's heavily pyrrhic victory already.

20ish pounds HE (155) vs 300ish pounds (1klb JDAM) is a real difference, yeah. I imagine it's currently easier to get 155 right onto a moving target, though - I think the glide bombs have to be used at a distance given the highly contested environment. if Ukraine has/are using the laser guidance kits, that's a different story.

Heavy JDAMs are no joke.

Here's the Finnish Air Force dropping one at a training area, in a video mysteriously released a year ago, almost to send the message to someone that we are integrating modern western munitions into our weapon selection, and communicating with western units in English. Kind of like we aren't alone, in case some mysterious force decided to violate our borders.

I can imagine that one of these things gliding down on a Russian command post, ammo dump or occupied building unannounced would be fairly catastrophic.

Oh definitely, against a stationary target it's great, the classic "radioman, you see that emplacement?" "yeah" "I don't want to." situation. I'm just a little dubious of having full enough integration that Ukrainian aircraft can program coordinates into it in the air based on a ground report.
On the other hand, necessity is the mother of invention and they're certainly motivated, so who knows.

Well, Nordstream 1 and pipe B of NS 2 are still around. Worst case scenario as I see it is that the whole controversy that's been able to grow over this provides the political excuse to resume buying gas from Russia through those.
