The Voice of the East

Combat losses attributed to the AFU by the RuMOD in May 2023 and May 2024, compared side by side. Data gathered by the project lostarmour.info AFU losses increased by: •‎ 2.4 times in manpower •‎ 1.6 times in tanks •‎ 0.8 times in armored vehicles (i.e. fewer losses by 20%) •‎ 1.2 times in transport vehicles •‎ 2.8 times in artillery pieces

Apparently, US CENTCOM has reported that USS Gravely (DDG-107) has been targeted by Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles. No word on any direct impacts. In other news, the Dwight D. Eisenhower has reportedly moved to Jeddah, which is around 650+ km from the Yemen border. This puts the aircraft carrier outside the range of known Houthi anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles, but within range of air operations over Yemen. The fact that the Dwight D. Eisenhower has repositioned itself to this location strongly suggests that the Houthis have at least earnestly tried to target the aircraft carrier, and/or that CENTCOM is taking precautions to prevent such a thing from happening. Meaning, that CENTCOM believes that such a thing, if it has not already occurred, is certainly within the realm of possibility. Should the entire NATO naval group reposition 600+ km from Yemen, it will be that much more difficult to conduct any operations in the Red Sea, and all but impossible to protect shipping.

The Houthis claim that they have targeted the USS Eisenhower with missiles (again), as well as at least one other US warship. Said 'other US warship' was allegedly hit with drones. Houthis claim to have successfully hit at least two US warships over the last 24 hours, including a nuclear aircraft carrier. Assuming this is true, we can expect to see some sort of confirmation/evidence sometime soon - either in the form of US warships retreating from the Red Sea to get repairs, satellite photos showing damages, or leaked photos at drydock. If this news is even half-true, it is huge. Having the Houthis be able to inflict any damage to western warships makes western naval operations in the Red Sea unsustainable. If, however, we don't get any such evidence, we can safely assume the Houthi claims to be false.

As I write this, Ukraine is counter-attacking in Kharkov region. Reports are sparse, but suggest that a very big battle is taking place. Just putting this out there, because I don't believe I have seen anyone in English-language media say anything about this event...

Belgorod is being shelled by HIMARS missiles w/ cluster warheads This comes as the United States has formally allowed Ukraine to use its weaponry against pre-2014 Russian territory. Anyone who thinks that these are "Ukrainians" firing these missiles, is beyond deluded. These are western-made missiles, fired at targets selected by western intelligence/reconnaissance, with western contractors controlling the equipment with boots on the ground. I.E. this is a direct act of terroristic aggression by the United States, against Russia.

Statistics of published videos showing Lancet kamikaze drone use every month. More than 300 such videos were published in May 2024. This is almost double the previous record, and more than six times greater than in May 2023. Keep in mind that all these figures show only the number of published videos - the actual number of uses and hits is always much greater.

Of course, unlike actual air bases, aircraft on carriers don't come equipped with reinforced concrete hangars. And they are even more tightly packed together than on your average pre-2022 Russian airbase. I'll leave it up to you to imagine what happens when a ballistic missile hits the deck of an aircraft carrier with 50+ planes on it.
