Zone, I know it's not your job but if you post originals in russian alongside I could help explain the meaning better because I speak russian. Telegram's translation is pure rear end. In this case they probably wrote тупо. While 'stupidly' is correct strictly speaking, the complaint is more to their command over how obvious the ploy was and they senselessly they lost because of someone's stupidity. This one is fairly simple but others previously were next to incomprehesible

It's good to see what Ukraine has managed to accomplish even despite the shortages. The lack of air defense is encouraging, and I haven't heard of many tantrum shelling from Russia in a while.

https://www.dvidshub.net/news/471630/us-army-awards-expedited-production-contract-himars-launchers U.S. dropping a poo poo load (400-800 mil) on an indefinite contract for HIMARs production. Looks like this is to expedite the actual construction of the systems to ensure supply for Ukraine, domestic, and global sales - not for purchasing HIMARs systems directly. My personal opinion is that this will take 1-2 years from contract finalization to see results. It may encourage the u.s. and allies to release more of their on-hand stocks if they know that more production is spooling up though.

With an amphibious assault on Odessa not very likely there is not much a minesweeper was needed for so it was probably left at the pier at Sebastopol as all the cool kids ran off to Novorossiysk. Until of course drone delivered sea mines arrive, either a drone leaving a mine or the drone settling on the bottom to be the mine. Someone is working hard on this at the moment I'm sure.

Was it confirmed that this ship was sunk? Previously I seem to remember there were various videos from the drone boats Did they say how the sinking was done, with drone boats again?

A Telegram channel claims it was not the minesweeper but a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakurt-class_corvette was hit, the entry for the Tsiklon was already updated with this.

The BBC had an article on how Russia has spun up an endless supply of cheap glide bombs to pound static positions. Between the US green-lighting cruise missiles / F-16s with their own glides into Russia to hit the airbases, Patriots being moved up to within arty range, or Ukraine just being expected to take it, what are the options?

This is a much better get if true. They are about the same size, but a Natya is a 70's design without much very expensive equipment, while a Karakurt is one of the most modern combatants in the Russian Navy with one of their very best radars.

Patriot and other long range air defense making it difficult to get in range to drop the glide bombs, destroying launch aircraft on the ground in their airbases, denying launch aircraft necessary parts, pilots, and fuel by destroying other infrastructure, short range air defense to intercept the glide bombs themselves, as far as I know.

I've seen estimates that Ukraine is going to have to weather the growing russian military machine for another year while inflicting as much logistical damage on russian infrastructure as possible. The most important things for ukraine right now is to prevent a general collapse of military and/or civilian morale, or the front line as a whole, because russia has enough bodies to attempt stupid poo poo anywhere on the front line at the moment. While grotesque and usually incompetent, the unending meatwaves put endless pressure upon ukraine that make it difficult to organize a pushback. The new gear will hopefully blunt (but sadly probably not stop) russian gains until ukranian forces can reorganize, expand, and counter-move.

Just a theoretical Clancy-thought exercise that's been in my head for a while: People circumnavigated the globe flying a solar-powered plane in 2016. That tech was sold to another company in 2019 who made it autonomous and claims it can fly for 90 days straight: https://bigthink.com/the-future/solar-plane-us-navy-skydweller/ If someone in the US were to ever scale down one of these autonomous solar planes, sail into international waters, program the thing to fly itself by GPS to a Russian power plant and explode, and sent it on it's way, who gets in trouble for that? Is there something that says citizens can't do war on other countries? What if they do the project secret killdozer-style and no one can pin down where it took off from? I mean, I guess anyone could do it to anyone else, I'm just using an example of a place that's airdefenseless.

Violating the monopoly on violence of at least two nuclear powers and pissing off pretty much every branch and department of the federal government would be a fairly impressive form of self-destruction, I suppose.
