According to Russian sources, Russianse able to neuralize about 1.2k Ukrain warriors on the 1st day of the offensive. If even half of that is true, that was pure Zerg-Rush attack, ended without any success.

Oh yes, fedi is not skynet-controlled (by AI/algorithms)!

There is a "appimage" solution for developers. I.e. just make you app "fat" (let it bundles everything it needs into single executable), then user just downloads it and launches. Even automatic updates can be supported, afaik!

"Appimage" (and flatpack etc.) shoud not be used instead of standard disto packages, like firefox, chromium etc.

Ukranian casualities are classified by the goverment, as well as the location of mobilized solder during his first 90 days of duty. That's gives an possibility to the govement say literally any numbers of casualities.

There are indirect pointers of heavy casualities: introduced military duty on women, introduced mobilisation of infected with tuberculosis (non-officially), hard to leave the country by men, catch civilian attempts to mobilize on streets etc.

I completely agree with you, that HIMARS in the current amounts cannot play game changing role.

You do realize that Ukraine had hundreds of MLRS systems before they got HIMARS right? There is nothing magical about HIMARS, it’s not some wunderwaffen that western media makes it out to be.

You are right when you compare HIMARS with other Russian/Soviet MLRS. The difference comes with NATO satelite's targeting / highlighting. Together with long-range missiles (300 km) it can be serious weapon. Ukraine don't have such a missiles for now, at least officially, as far as I know.

Russia demostrated recently that it can successully intercept 100% of them with S-400 anti-air weapon.

lost a City at the heart of the eastern battle.

Actually, it is quite a large port-city Mariupol, and a few minor cities like Lisitchansk and SeveroDonetsk. As the result whole territory of LPR is deoccupied from Ukraine (or lost by Ukraine). It is quite a strategic win of Russia, isn't it?

they’re trying to form a bigger counteroffensive right now

It is not fair to compare "plans" with "gains". Every side might have big plans, but from military point of view it is better to compare initiative and territorial gains.

They’re also getting another big batch of tanks from Poland.

The amount of tanks is about 200, as I've heard. It is actually quite a few number, as Ukrain had about 6'500 of them in 1992 ( English wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_Ukraine ). Would it be 10 000 of tanks, yep, that definitely might change the situation drastically.

How much of territories Ukrain returned back to its control? Ukrain has a few tactical wins, like sinking down russian ship(s) and repell Russians from an island. But what are strategical gains since April?
