  1. In theory it is possible through Rhine and Danube, But the way will pass through Serbia and Hungary. And these ships will be priority targets for Russian missiles if they are deployed in Ukraine. Russians already sank UKR inshore minesweeper "Henichesk" (NATO Yevgenia class) with aviation missile in 2022. Also by the unconfirmed rumors last relatively large UKR ship - medium landing ship "Yuriy Olefirenko" (NATO Polnocny-C class) was badly damaged or even sank during powerful Shakheds and missile strike on Odesa port on 29th of May 2023. Numerous Russian OSINT researches over satellite maps didn't give answer about destiny of this ship, but last reports about it activity was as far as in the February-March 2023.
  2. Our experts say 250$ millions is enormously exaggregated at least in 5-6 times.
  3. Russian LostArmor resource makes the same statistic, based on visually spotted drone usage on infantry, armor, fortified positions, arty etc. Probably this info is from there
  4. This indicates, Ukraine keeps capability to prduce own armor. In recent statement of prime-minister Shmyhal' Ukrainian defense-industry complex could increased own production: - mortar ammunitions in 42 times. On mass production gradually are coming own manufacturing of 122/152 mm ammunition, 155 mm is preparing to launch. Main problems - powder charges, we have to import. By the way Russia buys up alsmost all cotton for powder and charges manufacturing in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. - APCs - in 5 times more than in November 2023 in comparison with a spring - armored cars - in 3,4 times than in 2022. In 2024 is planned to build 750 armored vehciles. One source in Twitter claimed UKR "Praktyka" manufactirer can produce now 5-6 "Kozak" armored cars series monthly. By security reasons there almost no any information about volumes and places of manufacturing. Probably part of manufacturers established new workshops either in western Ukraine or abroad. - Stugna-P ATGMs - in 4 times
  5. To Zeleban's answer I add S-300/400 complexes have also integrated surface-surface mode, turning them into short-range ballistic missile with powerful HEFRAG warhead. The range of such mode depends on missile type
  6. If we had PAC-3 in Kharkiv and more NASAMS/Iris to close the holes, effectiveness of Kh-101, S-300 and maybe Onyx, Kh-22 would be much lower. Since we lost enough of S-300 complexes and I suppose we have a lack (or near) of missiles for them, AD system now more concentrated around cities and the range often reduced from 75 km of S-300 to 40 km of western mid range SAMs. Russians search holes in our radar fields and AD cover arcs, they use combined strikes with sophisticated routes of cruise missiles or drones, so interceptions more and more happen over our heads, not on approaches to our cities. Thus, we critically needed long-range SAMs like PAC2/3 and Mamba as well as more mid-range complexes. Interesting,the latter was delivered to Ukraine,but no any info about it work or even mentions of it duty service
  7. Ukrainian outdoor, strikeball and military gears brand M-TAC officially claimed one of Russian missiles today hit their storage and one of workshops. M-TAC is exellent "self-made" brand rised since 2014, when was critical lack of modern military gears... These guys, many of which were strikeball players in short terms could launch a productions of wide assortment of different around-military stuff of own design. They have been leraning and year-to-year enhancing quality of own goods. Of course, they are not 5.11, but if you want to buy in Ukraine any element of military or outdoor clothes, footwear, accessories of good quality and not for cosmic money - this is M-TAC. Dozen thousands soldiers were equipped by them for these 9 years. I also buy something of their civil clothes and boots and always found its very suitable. Fortunately, most of their production are made on Chineese factories, but some in Ukraine too. I hope, this incident can't seriously hit their business
  8. Not engineers, but former tractorists and mechanics, many of them from villages - they never knew English more than "My name is Mykola, I live in village Mykolivka". And becase of really lack of properly translated manuals. I don't know, why MoD can't hire normal translators (and why NATO countries can't do the same from own side)
  9. Oh, I understand. Here is just for laugh what Russians write in own TG about today's strike. Highest level of copium and s...t in their brains. And many people believe in this No so much Kinzhal launches, as write Grman press and UKR TG-channels, but today next Patrot destroyed and storage for missiles to it In Odesa three storages for Harpoon missiles destroyed and hangar with laucnhers. In present time knowingly about large amount of destroyed command points with British and Polish militaries. There are 8 Kinzhals were launched, all hit own tarherts - Patriot SAM, underground storage of ATACAMS, underground command center of AFU, According to some information, Turks confirmed this [in Russian TGs is a popular to refer on different Turkish "yellow military media"] 9 generals were killed, amid then a deputy of Zaluzhnyi. In Kharkiv oblast two Iris-T destroyed, 4 Gepards and two command centers with 65 officers In Kyiv oblast except Patriot also destroyed four command centers and two hotels with merceneries from Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania and Estonia. More than 78 men More than 1000 Iris and NASAMS missiles destroyed on storage in Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv In Kropyvnyrskyi the storage with Strom Shadow missiles was destroyed and two Su-24 as well and repair base. In Odesa the losses of AFU in personnel, fuel, ammunitions are uncountable. Main result - 4 acting servicemen of BND killed and 7 Czech officers. Two French radars were destroyed. Thousands of UAVs were destroyed in Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv oblast - total 23 workshops, assembling these UAVs were hit. More than 45 houses were damaged by Ukrainian AD in Kyiv because AD assets was deployed in the center of the city, so 2/3 of their missiles hit buildings.
  10. Next top-ace dropping on Russian ATV
  11. "So, this is a disaster... there very big chances we are witnesses of final days or even hours of Zelenskiy regime, because I can't undertsand how any country can survive under such heavy pressure". ROFL. Author of this video is obviuos vatnik.
  12. 14th separate UAV regiment destroyed for several days already fifth Russian "Buk" system. This one was destroyed on the waste heap of "Kuibyshevskaya" coal mine on westerm outskirt of Donetsk.
  13. Preliminary results of attack. Russians launched: 10 Kh-47 Kinzhal (all 10 were intercepted) 70 Kh-101 (59 intercepted) 3 Kalibr (3 intercepted) 12 S-300/Iskander-M (no interceptions, all hit Kharkiv) 4 Kh-31P (no information, likely not intercepted) 35 Shakheds (35 intercepted) Kyiv was attacked by 61 missiles (i.e. all Kinzhals were launched on Kyiv) and with 13 Shakheds After atatck several right-bank districts were partially power and water supply cutt off, now water supply is fully recovered, power lines partially restored too, but repair works are ongoing. It's claimed part of shot down Kinzhal falls down to Dnipro, but maybe this is accelerating stage of Patriot, quality is too low to say definetly Vysheve town, SW suburb of Kyiv - appartments of about 700 people were damaged In Kyiv 2 killed, 38 wounded in Kyiv oblast - 2 killed, 6 wounded. Kharkiv 1 killed, 44 wounded. Total number of victims in Ukriane on this time is 4 dead and 92 wounded. Well, Belgorod, you are just closest... Kharkiv after Russian strikes But also there are good news too, one Russian Kh-101 missile fell down on Peropavlovka village of Voronezh oblast in Russia. Seven buildings badly damaged or destroyed. Russian authorities claimed there are no victims. Second failed Russian Kh-101/555 missile fell in Stavropol region of Russia
  14. As I know there are no large petroleum storages in Kyiv. And the smell was obviously not the same, when oil or petrolium burns. Just very sharp smell of chemical or plastic. City authorities say there is a fire on 2000 sq.m on storage facility in Podil district. Russian propagandists claimed there were drone factory. Greek businesman Tasos Tsiamis posted a video likely with this large fire, I hope SBU already interrogates him. Looks kile you could see this place. It's funny in this place Tesla Motors car showroom was destroyed %)
  15. New batch of missiles arrived, next Kinzhal shot down close to Brovary town east from Kyiv. It was loud!
  16. Damn,I don't see any smoke in eastern, northern and south-eastern directions, but a strong chemical smell in the air. Reportedly in one of districts, close to center of the city a waster supply pipes are damaged
  17. I posted here enough info about researching of shot down Russian drones and missile parts, where showed western parts. And this is only small part of real volume of researching, which regularly is sending to western governments, but "real politic" and "this is private companies" Ah,I forgot "western weapon too hard for studying by Ukrainians" (c), of course we haven't engineers and electronic part experts, because we are tumba-yumba tribe, just with white skin.
  18. Heavy missile strike on Kyiv is ongoing. At the night I heard a drone sound over our house (but not similar to usual Shakhed) and then explosion in the air. Some number of drones were shot down in other districts. Since 7:30 of morning already dozens of missiles are intercepted, including probably Kinzhals. Some explosions were enough close,so doors shaken after shock wave. Reportedly 16 Tu-95 launched Kh-101 missiles on different cities, but they suddenly, already being on the approach to Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr and other cities, turned back and flew on Kyiv. More "Belgorods" to f...g Russia!
  19. Result of Russian attacks of Kupiansk direction. 79 bodies on relatively small area. I doubt this is Syn'kivka, as write the author, because this is a sector of 14th brigade Another video of the same unit - they captured almost full squad of Russians in their trench
  20. Ace-level dropping on Russian ATV near Kurdiumivka (southern Bakhmut front section)
  21. After failed attempts to breack through to Berdychi village through Stepove, Russians now shifted attacks more NW to come to Berdychi directly from the north. They could push UKR troops from one of railway section. Vehicle losses count of Avdiivka battle since October. Even if we count only destroyed vehicles, Russians already lost full equipped tank division there + 4 motor-rifle regiments or more than 3 full-equipped motor-rifle brigades + two motor-rifle batatlions.
  22. Situation near Robotyne - UKR troops froced to withdraw further to make contact line more short. Since most capable 47th and 116th brigades were moved to Avdiivka, rest of troops are either too exhausted or have many control and personnel issues, so can't effectively fight. Also soldiers form this dirction report about lack of artillery support and artillery shells - lilekely main priority for artillery supply now are Avdiivka and Krynky bridgehead. UKR troops also rarely can use armor for support and supply - Russian artillery, Lancets and FPVs search own victims and muddy fields it's a horror for pickup logistic, so not rarely positions can't be supplied with ammunition in time, which led to tragedies, like about week ago, when Russians executed two groups of UKR soldiers from 82nd air-assault and 117th mech.brigades - they surrendered because were out of ammo. Reportedly on this directions Russian often didn't take prisoners, because very angry due to own big losses. Describing of current situation there from UKR TG: On Zaporizhzhia direction losses situation was significantly minimazed: from our side all active assaults are stopped, only if we really can advantageous to restore positions. Russians still use active assaults and what funny, when they all die, only then they stop attacks. In that time for us from 20 men group it's enough to have 2-3 KIA and 5-6 WIA to stop assault.
  23. Second visual confirmed incident, when Russians could spot HIMARS after his launches and tracked it. Russian "Smerch" or "Tornado-S" has struck the area with cluster munitions, but result is unclear. Two rockets obviously hit empty field, only one partiallay hit tree-plant after which Russians in other video showed as "evidence" that something unclear is smoking in tree-plant This happened in Donetsk oblast about iin 15 km behing frontline, 20 km SW from Bakhmut.
