I found this analysis of July 8, 2022 from the Österreichs Bundesheer depressing.
Ukranian Brig. Gen. V. Karpenko stated:
Ukraine has lost about "50% of equipment and even soldiers".
approximately 1,300 infantry fighting vehicles lost, 400 tanks, 700 artillery systems.
M777 artillery systems are really prone to being damaged by enemy artillery.
Estimate of force ratio: Ukrainians have 60 Battalion Tactical Groups versus 108 for the Russians
The possibility of the Ukrainians to fight is degrading while the Russian side is still increasing.
It's not all bad news with better weapons coming on board, but still, damned depressing.
I agree with your statement that militias played a role in suppressing potential slave insurrections. Historically, one of the necessary roles of militias was to suppress internal unrest. But I think your implication about time and state's requirements before ratification is not completely accurate. It seemed to me from your post that you were saying that Southern slave states did not support ratification of the Constitution until there was an amendment that protected the right to keep and bear arms. The problem is that 4 of the 6 Southern states ratified the Constitution without demanding an amendment that resembled the second.We don't want to go there.
Suffice it to say that you might find it useful to look into _when_, especially the southern states, required what is now the second amendment before they'd be willing to ratify the constitution. They had no interest in their property having any fantasy of freedom.
The fantasy of protecting the nation via the militia was, at best. the fifth string set of pretenses of what people have to say.

Russian Official Accidentally Reveals Missiles Being Used in Ukraine
Just weeks ago, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied that Russian forces use Tochka-U missiles.www.newsweek.com
You mean the same missiles the Russians a few weeks ago said they didn't use any more? Those Tochkas?
Uh-huh, yeah. Sure. Ri-i-i-ight.
Yep....EXACTLY those missiles that don't exist or were never used!
You really can't make up this stuff. And yet they persist, and with straight faces too.
In 2014, Kremlin propaganda claimed that there were no 9M38 missiles in the Russian air defence inventory. That missile shot down MH17. At the same time, there were dozens of pictures and videos of Russian Buk launchers with 9M38 on marches, parades, etc.You mean the same missiles the Russians a few weeks ago said they didn't use any more? Those Tochkas?
Uh-huh, yeah. Sure. Ri-i-i-ight.
Inside the shop during the missile strike.KYIV, July 14 (Reuters) - Russian missiles struck the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia far behind the frontlines on Thursday in an attack which Ukrainian officials called a war crime and said had killed at least 20 people, including three children.
The strike, which Ukraine said had been carried out with Kalibr cruise missiles launched from a Russian submarine in the Black Sea, came a day after a breakthrough in talks between Moscow and Kyiv to unblock Ukrainian grain exports and underscored how far the two sides remain from a peace settlement.
[...]
"Cruise missiles hit two community facilities, houses were destroyed, a medical centre was destroyed, cars and trams were on fire."
[...]
Video footage showed thick black smoke billowing out of a tall building, while photographs posted online by the State Emergency Service showed grey smoke rising later from the twisted remains of burnt-out cars and smouldering rubble.
One showed an abandoned, overturned pram lying on the street.

Heart-breaking.
Those styrofoam cups were a threat to Russian speaking scones.
Yes, for over 2 months they limited operations of their manned aircraft to close support near the frontline.It may be ukrainian propaganda, but certainly I didn't read anything about RUAF operations over Ukraine lately
Russians do not fly into Ukrainian airspace
Ignat noted that the Russians have not flown into Ukrainian airspace for 2 and a half months. The enemy has changed its tactics: it operates from the territory of Belarus, Russia, the Black and Caspian Seas. From there, the occupiers launch various types of cruise missiles.
According to the speaker, now the Russians mainly use Soviet-made missiles. There is talk that they are running out of stocks of high-tech missiles, for example, Caliber or Iskander.
Therefore, the invaders use Kh-22, Kh-59, Kh-31 missiles.
M270 MRLS in Ukraine, according to the Minister of Defence.
