155 Marine infantry brigade has knocked the enemy out of Novomikhailivka!

The months-long assault ended with the defeat of the enemy in the village, which opens the flank of the Ukrainian armed forces' Ugledar grouping in the South Donetsk direction.
The last houses on the outskirts are being cleared for mines and other enemy surprises.
Apart from 155 Brigade, 1472 Regiment of 68 Army Corps, 39 Brigade, 57 Regiment and other units of the 20th Division, special forces of the All-Union Military District, OPF "Cascade" took part in the heavy assault.

The US Army estimated the costs to maintain the guided Excalibur shell nearly doubled in a decade.

Excalibur was one of many crucial weapons that saw big jumps in the costs to operate.

The cost to maintain a weapon is more than twice the cost to build it, a GAO official said.

In particular, operating and support costs for the M982 Excalibur — a GPS-guided 155-mm artillery shell supplied to Ukraine — nearly doubled between 2011 and 2022 to roughly $100,000 per shell, according to a Government Accountability Office report.

。。。
The cost for Excalibur has been estimated at around $100,000 per round, compared to about $3,000 for an unguided 155-mm shell.

。。。

In addition to Excalibur, other weapons that experienced sharp rises in maintenance costs were the Navy's EA-18G Growler electronic warfare aircraft (up 219% since 2003), F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet fighter (179% since 2012) and the Navy Multiband Terminal satellite communications system (647% since 2012.) For the Army, the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station registered a 335% increase since 2017, the Tactical Mission Command-Maneuver Control System up 464% since 2008, and the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical Increment 1, up 32% since 2007.

Ukraine Aid Divides Republicans, After Trump Tones Down His Resistance
His most vocal allies in the House, however, were loudly against providing assistance as Ukraine fights Russia’s invasion.

Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for the third time, had actually soft-pedaled his opposition to Ukraine aid in recent days as the dam began to break on the House Republican blockade. He stood by Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who assembled the complicated aid packages for Ukraine, Israel and America’s Asian allies, and against threatened efforts to bring down Mr. Johnson’s speakership and plunge the House back into chaos. And he stayed quiet on Saturday, declining to pressure Republicans to vote no.

ukraine‘s top military analyst and fighter has this to say
