Tokmak is getting hit by HIMARS, it sounds like secondary explosions.

An update as to who is where in the advances and how it is going. GOOD READ and i whole heartily agree with
So in the coming days, we will see how this new phase of the counteroffensive unfolds. As the Americans say: Godspeed to you! May God, the universe, good luck, and good fortune be with the brave Ukrainian military who are fighting to liberate the territories that are illegally occupied at the moment by the Russian invaders!

AFU reached the first line of Dragons teeth but fell into an anti tank ditch, unmanned and checking for mines and defence.
had a couple of reactions to the first video:
(1) it was unmanned and checking for a minefield and direct fire coverage in front of the ditch. The rumor has been that the second lines were not manned.
(2) it is a way to get some infantry crews into the ditch, so that at night they can manually collapse the walls to allow vehicle passage.
(3) it is a BMP, not a NATO IFC, so it is expendible,
(4) Totally off-the-wall, but is it possible to drive a second vehicle ove the first as if it were a bridge?
(5) a demounted team could exit the BMP and scout the ditch to detemine if it was mined. If not, it is an excellent place to assemble dismounts for a further assault. #BMPinDitch

Have they actually took part in anything bar running away a couple of weeks ago?

Depropaganditising is upsetting Soloveyv... Is that even a word? Let's hope his list gets longer..

Solovyadayada has neither comprehension of the concept of "irony" "ирония" nor the intellectual curiosity to review the history of the Russian Federation in respect to the countless treaties and charters that Russia has breached. To keep it to a bucket list length he only has to look at those since the dissolution of the USSR.
Calling Ukraine's defence criminal is called "Projection", "Проекция" sparky. Seems to be a common tactic of dirt-eaters around the rock.
If Russia doesn't' like the consequences of their criminal invasion and breach of treaties and agreements that they freely signed and have deliberately, with malice and intent, with mens rea, breaching international norms and even breaching Russian law, breaching the Geneva convention... then don't like it when sand is kicked back in your vodka soaked persona, then, easy, "go Home". Moscow for Russians, sounds reasonable. "Некультурные варвары, идите домой и пейте водку и хамите в собственной помойке."
"Russia, where irony goes to die..."

Things are chaotic but there are multiple reports of the Ukrainian forces have forced a breach through the Russian minefields lines east of Tokmak (at a heavy lose in Bradley’s and tanks) and Russian forces in retreat with no available reserves. Ukraine now in HIMARS range of Mariupol and the coast.
UA forces seems to advanced eastwards several km the last few days in the area of Robotyne. They seem to have reached what appears to be the first prepared anti tank trenches / pyramid barriers.
And just like that.... the coast is in range of himars...

Kill on KA-52 yesterday reported to have been made using Starstreak.

This is the moment Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian helicopter using a missile donated by Britain.
Footage shared on social media showed the targeted hit on the Ka-52 ‘Alligator’ before it plummeted to the ground in the occupied Donetsk region in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Top Russian air force colonel Vitaly Tabachnikov is reported to have been in the aircraft when it was hit.
The commander of the 112th Separate Helicopter Regiment is thought to have died alongside his co-pilot captain Roman Gavrikov.
Ukraine’s 38th Marine Brigade boasted about the success of their operation on Facebook.

Not often that an accident raises a smile. Gotta say, the rotor lasted longer than expected after it started to trim the scenery. At least the tower got its own back on the hub too. A lot of troops and flight crew would be happy if the whole fleet of choppers accidentally went pole dancing, probably the Col in his 'gator would have liked that opportunity to redo over getting smoked by a Starstreak today.

Are they going to blame the Poles? A NATO state? Pretty sure that the Poles that seem to have an affinity for Russian copters would consider that unjust, which raises the probability that some vodka filled RT propagandista like solovyadayada will demand Russia recover their honour by invading the Poles.As there are lots of poles in Moscow, that would be a good place to lay blame. Solobo-etc can also blame the fault in their stars for the starstreaking of the boss of the 'gator squadron. Seems like a better show of arms than say Dubai or Singapore military trade shows...

Those Russian helos seem to have a nasty habit of burning as soon as they fall over, we don't often see Western typs doing that in relatively mild rollover accidents like that.
