HIMARS is good, but compared to Tornado-S it's just garbage in terms of range and fire power.

Live updates: Russia's war in Ukraine
Ukrainian forces have entered the strategic city of Izium after forcing Russian troops to retreat, an officer involved in the operation told CNN. Follow news updates here.
Matsokin, has said in a radio interview the city has been liberated.
Matsokin said above the city on the Kremenets mountain "our blue-and-yellow flag is already fluttering. This has been confirmed."
"This is a real holiday — the Liberation Day of our city," Matsokin added. "Sept. 10 is the day of the liberation of Izium from Russian invaders."
CNN earlier Saturday reported that according to Ukrainian military officers involved in the operation, the first units had entered Izium. There are no reports of Russian resistance; it appears most Russian units had already left the city.
Ukrainian soldiers have posted several videos and images of their presence at the entrances to the city.

Ukrainian official says Russian troops' "main artery" through Kharkiv region is severed
From CNN's Julia Kesaieva and Tim ListerA senior Ukrainian official said that the "main artery" for Russian forces through Kharkiv region has been severed.
Yurii Mysiagin, a Ukrainian member of Parliament and deputy head of the parliament's committee on national security, said on Telegram that a "few days ago, military experts said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were trying to take the main logistical artery of the Russians in the Kharkiv region under full fire control."
He said that artery ran from Vovchansk in the north, close to the Russian border, down to Izium, on the border of Donetsk region — a distance of some 125 kilometers (approximately 77 miles).

Ukrainian forces appear to be moving toward city of Lysychansk in Luhansk region
From CNN's Tim Lister, Vasco Cotovio and Julia KesaievaUkrainian forces appear to have opened a new front against Russian defenses on the border of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
The head of the regional military administration for Luhansk, Serhiy Hayday, posted a message indicating that the city of Lysychansk was the target of the new offensive.
The city was lost to Russian forces and their allied militia after weeks of fierce fighting in June.
Hayday later told Ukrainian media outlets Suspilne and Channel 5 that Ukrainian units had reached the outskirts of the city of Lysychansk.
CNN is unable to confirm his claim.
Lysychansk was the last city of any consequence to have been captured by the Russians, but they subsequently failed to make further advances into the neighboring Donetsk region.
The reported Ukrainian advance toward Lysychansk comes as Ukrainian ground forces complete a sweep through much of what was Russian-held territory in Kharkiv region, depriving the Russians of a critical front in their attack on Donetsk region.
In another sign of Ukrainian advances, the head of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, admitted that the situation in northern Donetsk had become "pretty tough."
Hayday said that locals in the city of Lysychansk have reported the hasty departure of Russian officials from the city.
Speaking to CNN by phone, Hayday said that according to residents, "the occupiers, including both the collaborators and the military, are running away in a hurry."
"Locals have videos and photos proving that," Hayday said. He said the visual evidence could not be shared for security reasons.
Hayday also suggested that there was an exodus of pro-Russian officials and collaborators in Luhansk toward Russia. "Those from Svatove, Starobilsk, Novopskov are trying to leave, not to Luhansk, but to the border with Russia at Milove."
CNN is unable to verify Hayday's claim, but at least one border crossing into Russia has seen lines of vehicles forming.
Hayday also told CNN that the Russians had failed to build a defensive line in Luhansk. "Svatove, Starobilsk — this is an open rural countryside, so there's nowhere to hide."
He claimed Russian forces were leaving the town of Svatove. If true, it would be significant as Svatove is a key link in Russian supply lines to parts of occupied Luhansk region.
Hayday also confirmed to CNN that "partisans" had raised the Ukrainian flag in the town of Kreminna, north of Lysychansk.

Exactly whats the point of this pompous presentation of less than a manoeuvre brigade. Even if they somehow reach Ukraine, theyd just end up joining the so called russian regrouping.
Cant wait to see the good people on this forum posting news about Ukraine forcing the russians and its mercenaries regroup out of eastern Ukraine. Fact is only the Wagner group is making small gains in the east, and airborne units keeping the defence in Kherson from total breakdown.
Russia is done in Ukraine. Someone just need to tell them

It’s all downhill from here for Russia. Not sure why anyone would expect anything different at this point.

Ukranians are patriotic than Russians.
Ukranians are dying for their country while Russians are abondoning their positions.
As I said Ukraine will capture moscow before the winter sets in.
Russia will lose this war and balkanized.
China will get Eastern Russia as part of the deal.
No leader or country who challeged the Dollar has survived
Not Saddam, Not Gaddafi and Not Putin

Another awful day for Russia with 70 losses. That’s now 5,700 total for the war.
