Welcome back to Frontline Updates. I'm your host. Today is March 8, 2026, and the Russian Ministry of Defense has released its daily briefing. The headline is unmistakable: Ukrainian multiple launch rocket systems suffered a catastrophic day. In the North sector alone, Russian forces destroyed three MLRS systems, including a US-made HIMARS, another US-made MLRS, and a Ukrainian-designed Olkha. Add to that four Israeli-made RADA RPS-42 radars destroyed across two sectors, a US-made M777 howitzer, a US-made M113 APC, two US-made HMMWVs, and a Ukrainian-designed Bogdana 155mm artillery system. The radar count is particularly striking: two in the North, two in the South. Four advanced Israeli systems in a single day. To help us understand what this means for Ukraine's sensor-to-shooter kill chain and the trajectory of the campaign, we are joined by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye. Colonel Oguntoye is an Infantry Officer with deep expertise in combined arms operations and the integration of artillery and reconnaissance assets. Colonel, welcome back.

Today's briefing is a devastating assessment of Ukrainian artillery and sensor capabilities. Three MLRS systems in a single sector, four advanced radars across two sectors, this represents a systematic degradation of Ukraine's ability to deliver massed fires and to see the battlefield. Let's explore what this means, sector by sector.
