The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

The radar detects fighters at a range of 110-130 km, bombers at a range of 160-190 km, missiles at a range of 85-100 km, warhead of the missile at a range of 60-70 km. The Patriot can also receive firing data from the higher level command posts or airborne early warning aircraft, such as E-3 Sentry.

I'm about 100% certain that the purpose of this attack is to try to force Russia to move troops to man the border, and thus thinning out the actual line where Ukraine wants to attack later.

Since the Patron Saint of speculative fiction is dead, let me channel Saint Clancy of Loyola failure.

Wagner leadership has been in contact with UKR Intel for months; Tom's answer is they worked out a deal to turncoat- Wagner 'took' the pile of rubble and decaying corresponding that was Bakhmut, then announced they were readying themselves for further operations and turning over the city to Russian forces. Ukraine is offering them cash and support to act as a sap on further Russian forces and a plausibly deniable force to act in ways UKR can't publicly.
