I was surprised to find an expression I've never heard before:

cock-a-hoop: adjective, extremely and obviously pleased, especially about a triumph or success.

"Ukrainian commanders are cock-a-hoop. They say HIMARS is tilting the war back in their favour"

Several military bloggers have also said Ukrainian partisans behind Russian lines are providing GPS targeting information of where Russians try to hide the ammo dumps

The targeting information is provided from satellite images - no need to risk peoples lives.

Behind Enemy Lines, Scouts Help Ukrainians Execute Deadly Strikes

A lot of mil bloggers are under the impression Ukrainian civilians are helping with targets that are under cloud cover or vegetation cover. I'd be interested to know if this is incorrect and satellites can see everything using many wavelengths

Both Russian and Ukrainian sources agree that Ukrainian civilians are providing extensive field intelligence. That doesn't rule out satellite intel. Also, as the article points out, these ammunition dumps are huge and located in predictable places, so finding them is not hard.
