Was a military analyst fella on the radio earlier saying it’s looking more and more like the Russians are running out of proper artillery and getting desperate and making big hits with what they have left. All to do with putins latest blustering as seen above ^^
When asked he didn’t know what that would mean for what happens next.

Ukraine says it shot down all 10 of Putin's 'unstoppable' £8,000,000 Kinzhal missiles
Story by Sam Corbishley •

Vladimir Putin unleashed a barrage of missiles and kamikaze drones in another wave of heavy air strikes on Ukraine’s two biggest cities.

His New Year ‘revenge’ blitzkrieg is estimated to have cost around half a billion pounds so far, and featured the most feared weapons in Russia’s arsenal.

Ukraine said at least five people were killed and 135 injured in the latest attacks targeting the capital Kyiv and second city Kharkiv in the northeast.

Army chief General said air defences shot down all 10 of the Russian Kinzhal missiles, which Putin has previously hailed as unstoppable because they can fly at 10 times the speed of sound.

‘Today, the Ukrainian air force downed 10 out of 10 Russian “Kinzhal”… aeroballistic missiles with the help of the Patriot AD system,’ he said on social media.

‘This is a record. If the missiles hit their targets, the consequences would be catastrophic.’

The Kinzhal, ‘dagger’ in Russian, is an air-launched ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads.

They are rarely used by the Kremlin due to its cost and limited stocks, with each unit costing upwards of £8 million ($10 million).

Tuesday’s barrage was the highest number used in one attack since the start of the war, Ukraine air force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat said.

The latest round of attacks began Friday with Russia’s largest single assault on Ukraine of the war, as fighting along the 620-mile front line has subsided into grinding attrition amid winter.

At least 41 civilians were killed since the weekend.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia fired almost 100 missiles of various types in the attacks.

He claimed at least 70 were shot down, almost all of them in the Kyiv area, noting that Western-supplied air defence systems such as Patriots and NASAMS had saved hundreds of lives.

Russia’s Defence Ministry said it had launched missile and drone strikes on military industrial facilities in and around Kyiv.

Depots storing missiles and munitions supplied by the West also were targeted, it said.

I do hope Ukraine can get a proper offensive going again, but things have been looking better for Russia lately. Still only minor territorial wins.

Of course Russia is also bombing all over Ukraine, far from their own forces Just to put pressure on the people.

I read an astute summary of the situation: It's not just that they need more weapons, it's that there are too many Russians to kill and not enough Ukrainians left to kill them.
