An 'Uber for artillery' app is claimed to have played a major role in the Russian defeat at the failed Siverskyi Donets River crossing near Bilohorivka last week.
There was aerial visual confirmation of 73 vehicles shortly afterwards. Yesterday, the Ukrainians released on-the-ground footage of these losses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrU3WQcnS-I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrU3WQcnS-I
