Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.
The American MLRS isn't any better than (and is probably worse than) Russian rocket artillery, and Ukraine had plenty of that at the beginning of the war. Much of it was destroyed by Russian counter-battery fire, cruise missiles, tactical ballistic missiles, etc.
The shipment they're talking about might not even fully replace the lost rocket artillery, and it has training requirements and multiple-thousand-mile supply lines for ammo. It's not going to turn the tide.
It's easily worse.
We don't even have that many of them in the USA armed forces. And we barely know how to use them.
Russia has surpassed us on almost every level in war fare.
They are locating m777 howitzer battalions the ukrainians are using through sound signature alone.
