wouldn't this be a good one to drop one of those fuel/air bombs on that they were talking about around 10 years back. Maximum death toll with minimum equipment damage if they were predicting right. Personally thought they were overhyped
 
Another update:

The magenta line (see map) may be the new forward edge of the battle area. The Borozenske saliant was probably the initial fallback position late yesterday after the Ukrainians outflanked the Russians in the north and east (Davydiv Brod and Novovoznesens'ke). But it was not defensible as it left the Russians vulnerable to envelopment and attack on three sides--and stretched their forces which had to defend a longer front line. Shortening the front line by moving between Chkalove and Mylove makes more sense, even if the Russians had to cede more land. Th Ukrainians are less than 40kms from Beryslavka; a straight shot down the T-22-07 and from the T-0403 between Mylove and Beryslavka. Not looking good for the Russians.

What makes this ironic is that, in the summer, the Russians redeployed the 5th, 29th, 35th, 36th, 2nd, and 41st CAA away from the Izyum front to protect Kherson and Zaporizhzhia region. That weakened the Izyum-Kupyansk sector and led to the Ukrainian counter-offensive that negated most of Russian gains in Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk in the last six months. Yet even with the influx of these units in the south, the Russians are still at risk of losing Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.


 
Ukraine set up a hotline for Russian soldiers and their families to find out how to surrender.

 
That would certainly be an act of war against a NATO country.
Hopefully USN, RN and French nuclear attack boats and along with Germany and Norway's SSKs are patrolling nearby. Poland has one Kilo-class SSK, but anything that acoustically sounds Russian might best be elsewhere.

It's also a good role for drones, but I think that tech is still a few years away.

To be fair America did that as well in WWII. P-400 springs to mind immediately. UK as well in WWI with that Chilean (?) battleship. I think it was the HMS Agincourt?

ETA: Not Chilean, Brazilian, then sold to Turks, then seized by England.
