  1. About 140 km to Belarusian border. If this really was S-300 (there are some identifications as Kh-555), it couldn't come from Belarus.
  2. Today's strike ecxeed the levcel of Oct 10th with its 84 missiles. 90 cruise missiles (mostly Kh-101/Kh-555 and about dozen Kalibrs from Black Sea) and 10 Shakheds launched in three waves. Missiles flew from different directions, i.e through Belarus. 73 missiles and 10 Shakheds shot down 15 power infrastructure objects hit mostly in western regions. Around Kyiv 18 missiles shot down from 21, which attacked Kyiv, Kyiv oblast or just passed further to other regions. From them at least 4 missiles shot down over Kyiv. Fragments of two shot down missiles have fallen on two residential buildings, causing death of woman, 3 citizens were traumatized. Air forces also claimed shot down of UCAV "Orion"
  3. Tochka-U can reach Novooleksiivka outskirts from Berislav area. But it's a question either we ran out own missiiles or not. Or we already had a time to deliver them from Bulgaria, which recently agreed weapon supply to Ukraine. Bulgaria had stored Tochka-U.
  4. Oleshky about hour ago or more. According to other info as if Russians already retreated from the town under UKR artillery fire, but UKR troops didn't enter to the town yet
  5. @sburke Lt.colonel Ruslan Ibatullin, arty battalion commander of 872nd SP-arty regiment, also was appointed as acting artillery chief of 218th tank regiment of 127th motor-rifle division, 5th CAA, Eastern Military District. Killed on 12th of November
  6. I have suspicion, UKR high command decided to make crazy thing - attack from Kinburn - Hola Prystan' area toward Crimean isthmus at least to have opportunity to shell the roads from Crimea with arty fire. This will make difficult supply of whole southern Russian grouping. I recall a words of Cyryl Budanov, chief of GUR, which he said in the summer - "we have a plans to be in Northern Crimea up to first half of winter "
  7. Translation: locals write about sounds of battle in area Oleshky - Radensk. I can't confirm, so still wait. As if RUMINT claims Russians already are fleeing from Zaliznyi Port (eng. "Iron Port")
  8. No. Fire control yes, but not physical. Dam control is in Nova Kakhovka.
  9. Other hints about Kinburn (this guy from Kryvyi Rih has been posting mosltly reliable RUMINT) Translation: I found out information from loacal familar concerning Hola Prystan' and Nova Zburyivka. I keep my mouth shut up (in real he used filthy word ) PS. About quiz with a picture of grape - turned out that meant tiny village Vynohradne with 24 people of population ("grape" in UKR is "vynohrad") - Google maps depicts it on maximum zoom grape PPS. Sometime now you can meet in UKR twitters name "Hopra" - this is shortage slang name of Hola Prystan', using mostly by locals.
  10. Today's claimed strikes on Russian ammo dumps and troops concentrations: Hola Prystan' - about 7-8 hpurs ago Skadovsk town area - about hour ago - detonatins heard Novooleksiivka, about hour ago, detonations and strong fire
  11. He is more realistic ) But with Mayorsk here is other geolocation, showing that photo was taken on eastern outskirt. Also this is Ukrainian soldier, fighting around this place, which also refutes enemy claims, showing how to look road signs with the name of the village on the exit to Toretsk (strictly speaking, this is large railroad station Mayorska with small settlement of railway workers, which hasn't status of settlement and is a part of Horlivka agglomeration)
  12. WarMonitor mostly is not enough reliable source about 50/50. There is opinion that this account belongs to UKR young milblogger Miroshnichenko, who posts excessivly optimistic and "victorious" news and "insides". For Ukrainian audience he writes on own TG channel and in Twitter aka Vasyl Stus: https://twitter.com/v_stus Allegedly WarMonitor is his account for Western audience.
  13. New puzzle, tied with Kinburn peninsula )
  14. About "Oleshky liberation from town mayor", the reaction of UKR Twitter was in style "the dude really drunk". About Hola Prystan' (means in English "bare pier") there was info from locals two days ago that Russians were leaving the town, but this is RUMINT level.
  15. UKR MoD officially issued a video of RIBs, which I posted above. Today a new video appeared with RIBs, approaching to some shore - Kinburn? On other hand WarGonzo wrote that Aleksandr Boroday, deputy of Duma and chief of Donbas Volunteer Union has communicated with his BARS volunteer batalion "Kherson", which deployed on Kinburn peninsula and the battalion reported that they don't wage a war because there are no enemy around. I don't heard about this battalion, but maybe this is Khersonian volunteer battalion named after Vasiliy Margelov, formed from local collaborants. But it was established only month ago, so I doubt it really combat ready now. From Ukrainain insides, there was a TG message that seizing of Heroiske is not a true, "but we are there [on Kinburn] - kust keep silence and wait good news" If you look a map you can see Kinburn peninsula and spit is very hard place with about 1000 lakes (mostly salt) and numerous small forests - remains of Hileya - forest country in lower stream of Borysphen (Dnipro), mentioned by Herodotus, thus SOF groups can "lost" in this terrain so enemy can't spot them
  16. Second destroyed radar of such type from allegedly five or six, produced before 2022. First was destroyed in Lazurne, Kherson oblast in July
  17. Russian TG Evil Tar writes today several NATO ELINT planes have been patroling over Black Sea - US RQ-4B, UK RC-135, E-3C and French Atlantique II - as if the same mass activity was spotted on the eve of UKR USVs attack on Russian ships... Well, let's see...
  18. @sburke Major (old photo with captain shoulder strips) Aleksandr Anchikov, chief of staff of motor-rifle battalion of 291st MRR of 42nd MRD, 58th CAA, Southern Military District. Was killed on 12th of November, likely in Zaporizhzhia oblast - there was a report about UKR strike of enemy HQ near Enerhodar, maybe this death is tied with this strike.
  19. SOF always were better equipped with NVm than other, but NV is tiny thing. During the war they are breaking, losing, destroying, so needs in new devices is constatnt and big. Crowdfunding is much more quick way to bring them new toys, than to wait until MoD supply services take care about this.
  20. No any info from our sources, but we have next video as if 73rd SOF Maritime Center sailing on RIBs somewhere...
  21. Likely forces were almost equal - per two squads from both sides. Ukrainian assault group had about 10 dismounts. Two soldiers attacked forward position in front of irrigation canal, other probably was making outflank maneuver. Looks like Russians were surprised, they weren't on positions and even didn't try to occupy its for defense, except 2-3 soldiers.
  22. In comments somebody says they both from Canada, because one speaks French with Quebec accent )
  23. The area between Myrne of Mykolaiy oblast and Blahodatne of Kherson oblast aside a road Mykolaiv - Kherson. Here another video of fighting in this place from 59th motorized infantry brigade. I don't know, why it says about Kadyrov's fighters - usual RU regulars, maybe from Caucasian region.
  24. Looks like this was UKR BMP-2 - something like a white stripe on the hull
  25. They not arrived yet. But if theese are old good PBRs, they can be useful on Dnipro and especially in it estuary with many big and small islands and so-called "plavni" - banks of river, covered with tall dense reeds
