Logistics lockdown is working perfectly. That's exactly the decision that the military needs to do as well.
One of the more interesting things that came out recently is that the Kerch Bridge may have been damaged severely enough to limit traffic on it. So lighter civilian traffic is good to cross it, but moving heavy equipment (like tanks, fuel, etc) is not possible.
If this is true they can leave it alone and focus on the last remaining ferry for trucks and wrecking havoc on the northern land route.
3 anti-air, the relentless grinding down of these is epic. I doubt they are getting replacements along the front today as Ukraines deep strike capabilities hammer their rear.
MLRS - They are wrecking them this month. The most they have ever destroyed in a month is 67 back in 7/2023. They are at 37 right now for June.
Artillery - last month was a record high number of hits as well. They are on track to match it again this month.
That little bit there is absolutely bullshit.
In France over the last decade, 34%, 37% and 60% of outbreaks of salmonellosis, listeriosis and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infections respectively have been linked to the consumption of raw-milk cheeses.
These numbers are absolutely horrendous of you know what they mean.
Salmonella is the most common foodborne pathogen. Most outbreaks are small (due to poor sanitation). They are estimated to happen multiple times a day. 34% means that somebody is getting sick, daily.
Listeria and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli are deadly. Knowing that 37% of listeria and 60% of E.coli deaths are directly linked to raw cheese. Frances cheese industry and government is accepting completely preventable deaths. Simple pasturization can prevent 90-95% of these cases.
People get sick from raw milk cheeses in France constantly.
Apparently the attack last month didn't, do enough damage.

A month is more than enough time to assess the damage, make a plan, and hit it harder. That looks like they succeeded on this attempt.
To shreds you say?
So who did it? Ukraine or Putin?
Car bombs are more a Ukraine thing.
Scary windows are more a Putin thing. However he has been known to plant bombs in planes so it's still a possibility.
I am going with "drone debris fell on it."
I do believe that the Ukrainian drone offensive this spring is having the desired effect. Striking fear into the hearts of the general Russian population while destroying critical assets daily.

My wife's fluffy white dog I drive around with for work. He likes to eat higher moisture corn and cow shit.
For silage corn the entire plant is harvested, chopped up, and packed tightly in a pile and covered with plastic or very large plastic bag. This creates an anaerobic conditions and yeasts/bacteria convert the sugars to alcohol, then acids. This acid preserves the feed for cattle for up to 2 years.
Silage corn is the most common base feed for all dairies and feedlots.
This isn't even the tallest variety out there. There are others that are 3' (1m) taller.
The machine with the spout is a chopper. They are a million dollar gigantic woodchipper. These things are fucking terrifying and you should absolutely stay out the field when they are running. Every so often a deer jumps into them.....shudder.... nightmare fuel.
Early in the season before a corn plant is waist high it takes a guess on how many kernals it can fill. Sometimes it guesses wrong and so it aborts the top kernals to fill the rest.
The entire top of the damn plant turns bright red.
As sugars build up in the top of the plant with no place to be transported to, the upper leaves start to turn bright red and die back.
You may get a bar bell ear or there may be no ear on the plant. In of field of millions of plants a bright red top narrows the search down.
Start getting your pinky in shape with this weird environmental triggered trait. It's easy to find in any corn field (to be continued...).
This right here is 350bu/acre of corn. 113 day variety on an almost pure sand field. Every damn ear looked the same. Look at that beauty, every kernal is huge and dense.
This here is trichoderma ear rot in an organic field. This 100 day variety was chewed on by an earworm. The damaged kernals allowed trichderma to enter and infect the ear. This ear rot produces many toxins and is a big no for consumption.
The twist - Trichoderma is usually a beneficial organism in the soil. It feeds on other pathogenic fungus/bacteria and is applied extensively for biological control.
Although normally a secondary pathogen, it has mutated to become a primary pathogen in both Italy and Germany in recent years.
This here is a genetically susceptible 113 day variety to fusarium kernal rot. This is a nasty little fungus that produces all sorts of mycotoxins that can give any mammal that consumes it a belly ache or even death. It's easily identifiable by the white streaks in causes in the kernals.
This 98 day little minx has a flirty pink cob. It doesn't look like much but it packs quite the wallop. The ears posted yielded 302bu. Medium high ear placement and a fast drydown makes this an excellent choice for grain.
This is pretty little 102 day number with a bright white cob that threshes very easily. It does extremely well for dry grain, high moisture grain or earlage.
The field in this picture averaged 305bu.
Probably the easiest plant to care for once you figure it out.
I water it every month or two. Fertilize it every 2 or 3 years. Redirect the arial roots into the pot when I water.
It gets 3 hours of direct sunlight in the morning.
Every 5 or 6 years I haul it outside in the summer. Then leach the pot with the garden hose to remove the salt buildup. I also hack the plant back to a more manageable size.
Another shed needs to be destroyed.
