The end?

It has arrived. You may remember in one of the last missives, the General talking about Ukraine's new missile that was due to come on stream.
Well, here it is. 500kg of Tungsten and boom arriving at Mach 2.

Do we have an idea of current stock
.production numbers...hopefully have a good few in the bag to "go to town" and do some real damage

I don't have that info as yet I am afraid.
I know GS referred to it as the Peekaboo Putin missile this morning, because the Russians now know the Ukrainians can reach Putin with it.
If I can find out production volume I will.

But if you are seeing those kind of booms at distances towards 1500kms, then you are probably seeing the new Boomstick.

Obviously I know you can't post the real figures and don't expect them but would be nice to know Ukraine can produce enough ( 2 or 3 a day would be good ) to start with and lobbing them far into Russia will be a thing to behold
 
Correction ... misunderstanding on my part. The new super long range big boomstick is a new EU produced weapon.

It's the serial production of the prototype that was used to blow up the St Petersberg nuclear storage bunker last year.
Expensive and slow to build, so for use on distant high value targtes (cough).
There are some ready to use though.

I also made a mistake re. its velocity. Try 13kms, or Mach 11.
Too fast for AD.

And not bunker on the planet can withstand it (according to you know who).

If you look at the map around Pokrovsk, you may finally see why I’ve long been worried, about both the city and the trajectory of the war. Talk of big enemy losses, forecasts of economic collapse, or claims I’m “too negative” won’t change it. Change starts by seeing problems

A brigade fecked up a rotation (it happened before if you recall ... over a year ago). Most of the area in that protrusion is in fact contested. GS thinks that Syrski and TG will send in ASOV or another highly specialised bunch to take care of it. GS is still on vaycay and trying to remain as "unconnected" as he can within reason. It has done him a lot of good being in one of the most remote places he could get to. He seems somewhat rejuvenated.

Edit update. Can confirm that ASOV are now deployed. https://bsky.app/profile/noelreports.com/post/3lw6pwryg3s2f

Worst possible moment to screw up just before a who holds what territory meeting.

Watching these pincers around Pokrovsk becoming more threatening over the last month has been very worrying.

The UKR forces are still giving their all to retake Sumy, settlement by settlement and have stabilised & retaken Zaphophresia but where it’s grim it really looks grim despite my wishful thinking.

it’s not my family or friends having to do this despite how “personally” I have got into this.

What a nation Ukraine has become. If in any way they are stabbed in the back by the European powers over what happens on Friday I don’t think the elected governments will know what’s hit them.

Very brief news. The attacks on Russian refineries continue. Last night it was Lukoil in Volograd again.

As for the Russian raid north of Pokrovsk. It is toast .... predictably enough.
There's much more detail on David D (Secret Squirrel)'s twatter, but some of it is a bit grim .... so be warned.

Good stuff

A nice little checklist of the damage done

🔥💥 In 12 days, Ukrainian UAVs hit 5 oil refineries. All of them stopped their work. • 02.08.2025 – Ryazan Refinery Processing volume: ~13.1 million tons per year, 5% of the total Russian volume. • 02.08.2025 – Novokuybyshevsk Refinery Processing volume: ~8.3 million tons/year.
bsky.app bsky.app

Best I can figure out is plants accounting for around 40% of total production have all had to completely shut down when hit and as far as I can check have all had to stop since - so that’s over a full 1-2% of annual RuZZian production taken out and counting.

& that’s taken UKR less than a fortnight to achieve.

Not bad at all

Zelensky "That'll be us. with some lovely French AASM Hammer munitions. If you'd be so kind as to stick a few troops and tanks on the land we'll get extracting immediately." :)
