That’s a shame about what happened to your shiny expensive radar. Yep, a real shame. Not to worry, it’s only $100 million (when you add in graft). Just cut the flood control budget. Oh, wait ...

The Battle for Chasiv Yar is shaping up to be crucial.
During their ongoing assault on the town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast, Russian forces are losing 50 to 70% of their military equipment. Yurii Fedorenko, commander of the Achilles battalion in the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade, reported this on Ukrainian Radio.
Earlier, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, reportedthat Russian forces are concentrating their efforts west of Bakhmut to capture the town of Chasiv Yar by 9 May, aiming to control the strategic Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal.
According to Fedorenko, despite facing ammunition shortages, Ukrainian forces are effectively holding their positions in the Chasiv Yar area, where the enemy has made no tactical gains in the past 24 hours.
Commander Yurii Fedorenko noted that Chasiv Yar is strategically important as it offers commanding heights. If captured, it would allow the invaders to take fire control of the towns of Kostiantynivka, Druzhkivka, and parts of Kramatorsk City.
