  1. GUR unit "Group 13" has issued a video of attack on "Tsezar Kunnikov". Budanov has good feel of humor - Soviet officer Tsezar Kunnikov, who led landing group on Gelendzhyk bridgehead was killed on 14th Feb 1943
  2. Last breath of LLS "Tsezar Kunnikov" (pr.775, Ropuha-class) Likely GUR later will post a video of attack. Russian sources say all crew was rescued Russian naval TG confirms - "I just got confirmation from BSF. But will be no official release"
  3. It's confirmed Russians have used 3M22 "Zirkon" missile in Feb 7th strike on Kyiv. The missile more likely wasn't intercepted (see the lower video - it falls verticlally and no explosion in the sky) Ineteresting, that recently commander of Russian frigade "Admiral Gorshkov" told "Zirkon has outstanding accuracy - if we aim in the front door of building, that this missile hit exactly this front door in wose case - the next one". This comamnder has died by own death in December 2023. And Russian "outstanding accuracy" missile hit the ground between two malls (250-300 m from each)
  4. No, this "monarcho-imperial-nazi" was captured in Luhansk oblast. He was a serviceman of elite 1st tank regiment of 4th "Kantemirovskaya" tank division.
  5. CNN claims Russian recruited 15 000 Nepalians to Russian army: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/10/asia/nepal-fighters-russia-ukraine-families-intl-cmd The package included at least $2,000 salary a month and a fast-tracked process to obtain a Russian passport. After analyzing the TikTok profiles of 10 Nepali men who travelled to Russia to join the army, CNN used satellite imagery to geolocate them to the Avangard training center, a military academy outside of Moscow. The soldier described his fellow academy cadets as coming from across the global south. He cited Afghan, Indian, Congolese and Egyptian classmates, among others. Class photos from Avangard posted on social media show dozens of what appear to be South Asian soldiers with native Russian instructors. And here is likely "classmate" of Nepalians - the mercenery from Sierra-Leone was captured by UKR soldiers of 46th air-assault brigade on Maryinka direction Except countries named above there were spotted a precense or were captured merceneries from next countries Somalia, Syria, Palestine, Myanma, Lybia, China, N.Korea (though they could be confused with other S.Asian nationality)
  6. She was Orban is not a president. This is about Katelin Novak. She has only representative power. But despite this she was pro-Ukrainian unlike prime minister
  7. Rare episode of UKR fighter jet uses AA missile, likely to shoot down the drone
  8. And the other deputy of Syrskyi became brigade general Mykhailo Drapatyi. He will be responsible for soldiers training. Epsisode of 9th of May 2014, with his "flying BMP" breaking throw separatists barricades in Mariupol became a one of meme of this war. In that time Drapatyi was in a rank of major and was a commandr of mech.battalion of 72nd brigade. Since 2016 to 2019 he commamded 58th mot.inf. brigade.
  9. Russian TG rejected yesterday claims of other Russian TGs about capturing of transport depo in northern part of Avdiivka and approaching to railway station. Westren OSINTers give next sitaution for yesterday General Tarnasvskiy claimed about reserve units invilved in the battle. Unknown is this 3rd assault brigade or not. Commander of 47th mech.brigade Dmytro Riumshyn told Russians now assault with small groups, sometimes applying armored vehicles.
  10. Acoording to updated information UKR Su-25, lost on 7th of Feb was shot down on 17th minutes of flight by R-37 long-range AA missle, likely from Su-35. This missile has 200 km of range and speed 6M . Other carriers of this missile are Su-27 and MiG-31BM For the lost pilot Vladislav Rykov ("Magic"), this was 385th combat flight.
  11. Bilohorivka (Kreminna sector) Here Russian also use gliding bombs and main clashes is going for water pump complex east from the village, defending by 81st airmobile brigade. Most interesting aspect here is both sides actively dig underground tonnels to reach and surprise the enemy. The pump facility is partially is partially under our control, partilaly under Russians, partially in grey zone. Soldier of 81st brigade worte sometime they hear undergraiund works of Russians - how they hit the ground by picks. The facility have many underground tonnels and rooms, so both sides use it as start point to dig. But Russians have all plans of the facility, so their KABs hit in that places, where our soldiers provide underground work. But it enough deep beneath the surface it's not easy to penetrate. Russians after taking the pump facility is going to seize tall waste hip of chalk querry, but this point has tough fortifications. According to TG Officer+ for last two days in clashes around Bilohorivka one of our battalions lost 2 KIA and 20 WIA. Losses of Russians against that battalion 40+ KIA, 70+ WIA, 20 vehicles.
  12. We critically need F-16. Problem of KABs have been becoming more and more dangerous month by month This serviceman writes from Novomykhailivka, where Russian intensivley attack and drop many gliding bombs: For the hour 17 KABs impacted, and I more and more looking for F-16 on the horizon Autumn photo of Novomykhailivka with two gliding bomb craters The same serviceman: "Then [in Autumn] about 30 KAB were arriving for a day. More than 200+ bombs were dropped. No one di...k can't sit there. Two years Russians have been grinding it, the cities have fall, but Novomykhailivla still stood" This is article of UKR OSINT group "Information resistance" (alas in UKR only) about number of KAB usage by Russians: https://sprotyv.info/analitica/taktichna-aviacziya-rf-rekordno-zbilshila-vikoristannya-kabiv/ According their information November of 2023 became a record month of KAB strikes - 1200 and one day - Nov 25th had daily record - 120 KABs. For the 10 day of February 2024 Russians aviation already dropped 460 gliding bombs. And this month can beat the previous record. Despite Russian gliding bombs don't have the same precisiosn like JDAM, but their quantity already turning to quality and our troops feel this on their own. Russian industry produce up to 50 gliding kits per day for FAB equipping. France is going to give us 50 AASM per month. Feel a difference... The quantity of US JDAMs likely was also in dozens of bombs. And all they already dropped.
  13. "Magyar" has shared updated information about combined work of their EW unit and ELINT/EW units of marines and TD around Krynky For four months of Krynky battle 2592 Russian FPV were spotted, 2016 destroyed/supressed (77,77 %) For 31st of Jan to 10th of Feb - 380 drones spotted, 312 destroyed (82 %)
  14. Situation in northern part of Avdiivka became critical. Russians captured transport depo and now try to breakthrough to railway station (SE) and strongpoint around cafe "Brevno" (NW, yellow mark), guarding coke plant from the south. General Tarnavskyi, commander OTUV "Tavria" wrote "we strenghthe the lines to hold back the enemy" - so no any words about withdrawal. If no happen something miraculous, Russians have all chances to cut Avdiivka on two parts and to block the coke plant.
  15. We had usual FPVs, then "Mamont" - the "fat FPV" has appeared, now we have "Darts" - the "long FPVs". This is winged type-FPV, but not the same as Lancet - completely other architecture and control. M2 SBU unit already operates with them. Each "Darts" complex has 10 drones and control/transmitting equipment. There are no information except these drones can carry about 3 kg of load. Their range is more than usual FPV, but some less than Lancet. But this drone complex is more cheaper. In other "serious" class of kamikadze-drones, some recently unknown UKR long-range jet drone was found in Russia More evidences, that UKR has some new EW system, which can supress Shaheds and force them to land. One more almost undamaged UAV was found in Dnipropetrovsk oblast This statistic shows since Russians (or Iranians) two months ago made some improves in Shahed design - new black composite shell, integrated SIM card of UKR cellphone operators, which probably gives opportunity of inflight change of route wapoints, resultativity of UKR AD on Shaheds reduced on 1/3. Though, this can other reason - Air Forces Command didn't count supressed by EW and landed Shaheds as shot down. They are "drones, which didn't reach aims"
  16. A tragedy in Kharkiv. Russian attacked the fuel storage in eastern part of the city with Shaheds, Three of eight reached own target and set on fire several tanks. Leaked burning fuel spread along the street and set on fire many private houses. Seven people burned alive in own houses You can see the scale of fire In this house burned alive all family - the couple and three their children, boys seven, four and less one year old. The temperature was so huge that only ash left afer them... The question remains. What idiot filled with a fuel tanks, encircled by houses in 40 km from the border?
  17. There are no "traditional Cossack martial arts", all what we know from the book of Guillaume de Beauplan, French engineer and cartographer of 17th century, that Cossacks liked usual fist fight and belt wrestling, no any Shaolin, like show adepts of modern-invented "martial hopak" ). Cossacks were disciplined infantry for musket firing in dense lines, so they do not need any special martial art for unarmed hand-to-hand combat, except usual brawl and sabre fight %) The version "Zaluzhnyi just showed how he would choke Zelenskyi" was thrown-in in social media by desperated Poroshenko-followers because they can't explain such behavior of general "opressed by traitors". They even told Zaluzhnyi was forced to hug Zelenskyi according to offical protocol, but by some reasons Budanov, who got the same award next, didn't hug president %) Poroshenko followers tried to organize meeting on Maidan with demand to turn Zaluzhnyi back, but only about several dozens of people came to listen several well-known public opinion leaders from Facebook, who long time have been pushing Poroshenko's agenda about "Zelenskyi and Yermak are traitors and Kremlin agents"
  18. Syrskyi is appointed. Very controversial choice, but let's see
  19. Several days ago UKR social media shared scandal video, where servicemen of Dnipro city special purpose police regiment (former riot police "Berkut") rejected to execute an order, transferring them to National Police brigade "Liut' " ("Rage") Moreover, personnel of the regiment became to speak typical pro-Russian stamps and insult the chief deputy of Dnipro police directorate, who came to them with the order, naming him "Maidan scum". Policemen cried "You have no right to dispose our lives!", "The law doesn't say we have to go at the war!", "We reject to execute this criminal order", We paid our debt to our state, when we defended it on Maidan under Molotov coctails!", "You can go at the war yourself!" Acording to the law any force structure during martial law is a part of Defense Forces and have to execute orders as well participate in combat if this need. The video caused the tsunamy of the hate - police, like courts and prosecutors considered by Ukranian society as more corrupted structures, which defends not a law, but thoise who have a money. By the way many servicemen in these special purpose police units (from 50-70 in the company to about 250-300 in regiment) are former "Berkut" servicemen, which were restored by court in service with support of former minister of internal affairs Arsen Avakov. Most of these units continue to be a carriers of anti-Maidan moods. Also there are many conflicts between them and AFU servicemen on checkpoints in the rear. You can see on the photo - the servicemen are very tough bulls, not 50 y.o. tired riflemen in trenches. They in perfect physical conditions, but for them easily to show own strenght and power defending interersts of corrupted system and to chase granmas, trading apples near transport stops, than go at the war. Many of them consider themselves as untouched caste and many of new guys, who came to these units quicly become the same dumb buffalos. So, society returns them the same hate, like in 2014. Despite many policemen and retired policemen enlisted to volunteer police battalions and regimnets, which in 2023 were united in "Liut' " assault brigade, police have a reservation from sending to frontline to AFU. But they can be transferred to this brigade, subordinated to National Police. Today leadership of National Police issued a reaction - Dnipro special purpose police regiment will be disbanded. All staff wiil be moved to "Liut' " brigade. Who will reject to transfer will be fired from police service and will receive mobilization summon to AFU. Let see how this ends. Many people believe these pro-Russian scum just will pay money to military medical commitee in order they "found" many deceases and recognized them unfit for service
  20. Russians reportedly dropped yesterday on Avdiivka and around 84 gliding bombs. As if Russian commanders got the order to put a flag on the coke plant not later than Monday. Also by unconfirmed yet info, they siginficantly recuced attacks on southern flank of Bakhmut, taking part of troops from there to Avdiivka.
  21. NLAW, the hero of first phase of the war, still in use
  22. We use 155 mm shells even from India. I don't know about their quality, because Pakitani ammunitions had many issues 148th artillry brigade subordinates to Air Assault Troops Command
