What was interesting about? A mobile rocket launcher is hard to track. If it fires from 50 miles away, unless you have eyes on it, you can't target it even if you knew where it was after it fired. It is a truck and is designed to fire and then be immediately moved. Any country would have problems tracking it and then locking on to it without a drone or plane. It's not old tech like they were using.

The US air defense equipment is having issues with stopping the Iranian/Russian drones. They are causing more collateral damage than drones destroyed. Ukraine also has people firing into the sky to stop the drones but even if they knock it off course, it's still blowing up and hitting something which is causing civilian deaths.

Ukraine civilians are in serious trouble. Russia appears to be trying to shut down all the power and water. They are systematically destroying the utility plants. Ukraine said 30% were offline on Monday and unnamed sources were saying 40%. If Russia continues with the strategy, it could shut most of the country down within a week.

Ukraine supposedly is going to attack Kherson and Russia has told everyone to leave. Not sure if it's a bluff but it appears Russia won't be retreating.

Russia's 300,000 reserves will be "trained" soon, so it appears the infrastructure bombing is setting up a further invasion.
