The war in Ukraine is no longer world news, but it continues. It's striking that Ukraine is hitting an increasing number of crucial targets in Russia. For example, this week a microelectronics factory in Bryansk was hit with five StormShadow cruise missiles. Two buildings at the complex were destroyed. The factory manufactured electronics for several Russian missiles.

Russia now has to do without these electronics or try to replace them with Chinese or Western products. Either way, it will hit missile production. Russia no longer has stockpiles, but is firing what it produces.

In the south and east, Ukraine is now primarily active behind the Russian front lines. They are disrupting Russian logistics and targeting command posts and ammunition depots for destruction. They are becoming increasingly adept at this.

Near Zaporitzia, the Ukrainians are actually managing to recapture ground. On other fronts, we still see the Russians advancing and capturing fields and rows of trees. This continues to cost them many soldiers. Too much reliance on Ukraine, because withdrawing there is part of Ukrainian tactics.

Ukraine is testing the FP-9 missile. This missile should be capable of hitting Moscow. Once that happens, things will get really tough for Putin.
