UKR BMPs train to float together with RIBs and boats... Hm....

Hehe... Russian Foreign Ministry says Russia is ready for war with NATO Sergei Ryabkov, Russia's Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, has said he does not rule out an armed conflict between Russia and NATO, saying there is no way to restore relations. Source: Ryabkov in an interview with Kremlin-aligned newspaper Izvestia (The News) Quote from Ryabkov in response to a question of whether we can expect an armed conflict in the future: "It depends on the North Atlantic Alliance. NATO has a choice. As we already demonstrated, we are ready to protect our national interests by all means." Details: In the traditional arrogant manner of Russian officials, he added that it was allegedly impossible to "encroach endlessly" on Russia's interests and that "the people who continue to test our strength, they must have believed that there was no limit to their own rate-raising game, but they may find themselves among the total losers in this arena". Quote: "I don't think relations between Russia and NATO will be restored in the foreseeable future. It is impossible for reasons of both principle and practical nature. If someone in the West thinks that we need these relations and will come one day and ask for their restoration, then this is the biggest mistake." https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/11/29/7430833/

To be fair, Slovaks always treat cool to Ukrainian refugges and Ukraine, since the war began. This country is more pro-Russian than Hungary (wich in my opinion just more anti-EU, then pro-Russian) and I can't explain why. My familiar escaped from Kyiv to Slovakia in first day and write that many Slovaks don't like Ukrainians. They consider, they are too poor country to supply refugees, that our refugees make competention on their job market, and of course that "Ukrainans are fascists, who 8 years bombed Donbas". To be fair, enouh part of our refugees, who came to Slovakia are indeed not a real refugees. Many of them from western Ukriane, even from Transcarpatia, where only one time for whole war was a missile strike. These people lease own appartments in L'viv, Uzhhorod, Ivano-Frankivsk to real refugees for astronomic prices and in this time live on allowance of Slovakian government, receive many humanitarian aid, which then mostly turned out on the markets of westrn Ukraine through a gypsies as mediators (there are many gypsies in Transcarpatia). Even more, such "refugees" have pretensions to Slovakian authorities - "we need hotel appartments", "what the fu...k cast-offs you give us as humanitarian clothes, where the good brand stuff?!" Of course after this I would want too to kick them back to Ukraine. Our compatriots in much number just got greedy and on the place ot local governments I would be allow to stay there only for those people, who realy fled from oocupied territories, or who lost own houses. All other, from western Ukraine, safe and wealthy Kyiv - get out and welcome home.

I doubt that is really political crisis takes place. A statement of Bezuhla and interview of Arakhamiya were issued almost by duet likely timely unleashed PsyOps. Who is beneficiary for this? I doubt this is Russia. Despite messages "Zelenskiy and Yermak want to dismiss Zaluzhnyi in favor of Syrskiy", which they were throwing each several months and which repeating here with glad by Poroshenko-followers, this two scandal statements may be not their initiative. Russia just will get unexpected profit. Bezuhla in own time had an intership in White House and Arakhamia one of "Servants of the People" party, who always had appeasement moods. I suppose they played for western party "you are faliled, it's time to talk with Russia. Finish the war, money like a calm"

Next Russian general is gone: Major-general Vladimir Zavadskiy, deputy commander of 14th Army Corps of Northen Fleet coastal forces. Reportedly has blown up by mine on 28th Novemver 2023. From 2018 to June 2021 he was a commander of elite 4th "Kantemirovskaya" tank division.

Winter in southern Ukraine is soft and wet. Dnipro near Kherson freezes very rarely. Basin of former reservoir is not only Dnipro itslelf, but several smaller rivers, many small lakes and swampy ground. This is don't freez enough for heavy vehciles passing. Though, Russians reportedly alredy build fortifications in Kamyanka-Dniprovska oppose to Nikopol, so they consider opportunit of UKR attack. Before WWII here was a bridge in this area and remains of it embankments can be used for something.

So, natural right of nation to defend own culture and don't turn into "multicultural Babylon" to be gradually "swallowed" by newcomers is a sign of nazism? As for me this is a sign of nation health. You have wrong opinion about Ukrainians, I should say. We never will greeting hordes of non-european culture migrants here. Some Muslim communities live here historically, but they are minor, and they are more "secular Muslims", so they don't make problems for us

Again about sanctions and bypassing...

Explosion on tarctor plant in Cheliabinsk. This is huge enterprise, producing not only tractors, but diesel engines and spare parts for them almost for all armored vehicles. Reportedly power substation on the plant blew up and olive of transformers effectly burnt out

Unverified info that UKR forces allegedly expanded bridgehead in Krynky toward Korsunka village

Russians had further success in industrial zone ("Promka") and around Donetsk water filtration facility on SE of Avdiivka. Russian milblogger told UKR forces still have some strongpoints there and situation on Promka is dynamical. Judging on posts in UKR "insider" TGs UKR troops will not try to attack captured areas so as not to lose personnel. Russians have larrha advantage in infantry, so artillery strike and FPV drones atatck on the enemy who occupied new positions are main measures to prevent their firm foothold gaining. On the norther part of front Russians slightly expanded own bridgehead behind railway to Stepove, but lost bridhehead north from coke plant

Some more about anti-shakhed mobile groups equipment Where they found "Dnipro" motorcycle by Kyiv motorcycle factory, which died many years ago? %) This one, further development of German BMW R71 was very popular in the villages, before jeeps appeared on our market )))

Interesting information from Russian TG. Alarming information came from VKS. Su-34 pilot reported that when he conducted bombing mission on Krynky and crossed the line Nova Kakhovka - Armiansk, this is 69 km from Dnipro river, he found himself in range of radar of unknown foreign SAM. In another words, more likely foreign SAM already deployed against our aviation and the number of glide bomb strikes consequently can be significantly reduced or can be rediced it accuracy.

On first stages main role played DPR motor-rifle brigades, DPR mobics and Russian TD regiments conducted mostly auxiliary function. Now Russians operate with own pre-war regular brigades, DPR units despite losses still in action. PT-76? I suppose the author confused it with single spotted destroyed BTR-50 No confirmation of "heavy losses" of Russian aviation around Avdiivka. From claims of 7 Su-25 allegedly shot down, we have only one video as something exploded on horizon and falls down. Situation indeed very bad - Russian work with gliding bombs from long ramge and their Su-25 and sometime helicopters also attack our positions, so this can say AD around Avdiivka was supressed in first days (but I think they had just usual set of Strela-10 and MANPADS for mech.brigades)

Next outstanding episode, worth to war-movie, but filmed in real. Vidieo of 47th mech.brigade. Two Russian soldiers pull own wounded comrade, but soon throw him down on the ground and robbed him. Jokingly writing on the video in this episode - Hey, 300th! (wounded) 5000 RU from you for evacuation - But I short of money! Bro, come into situation! - Well, then lie here with corpses..." Soldier takes a blanket from wounded and these two walk far and sit under the tree. Instatnt karma - FPV drone hit one of them and teared apart. Survived Russian with cold-blood covers remains of own comrade wihh robbed blanket and wals further. The end

With this humility, you are doomed as ENGLISH nation. Just some dozen years will pass... Europeans lost a capability to defend own area of life. Endless compromisses, concessions, feel of guilt, "non-resistance to evil by force" according to Tolstoy...

Fact of illegal migration is a fact, which plays on political situation in EU and this can affect on the political support of Ukraine. Russia also stimulates both illegal migration (you can recall situation on Polish and Baltia borders before a war and current sitaution in Finland) and populist right parties like German AfD. Wise strategy - divide and rule. I don't know about what health of economy if taxpayers must pay from own pockets milliards to support of hords of these "refugees". So, I greeting a decision of Germany to reduce payments for them (and for Ukrainain refugees too). About our compatriots - enough part of them lost own conscience, for two years they just live on own 450 EUR of allowance, don't want to study a language and work, but show in Instagram, how they rest in Turkey or havee a trip to Paris and complain that they forced to live in "tough conditions". Damned bastards, did you expected hotel appartment with lobsters and wine each morning? I visited Malta in 2019 - they havn't problem with illegal migration. Do you want to live here? Go to work. Do not want to work? Get out.

More the pendulum moves to the left then stronger will be move to the right. This is an order of nature balance. But if Richard Lionheart would be see thousands of Muslims, making namaz in the center of London he would be die of heart attack %) On my opinion existance of completely differrent cultures in one country, especially one of them is enough expansionistic and exceeds other by demography, that early or later probability of conflict will be growth. This is like in nature one species reach into new place and hasn't natural enemies (in EU case has multiple law protections and social guaranties, allowing them do not work), this scpecies soon occupies whole ecosystem and expel or eat other species around. PS. I know in Germany live large community of Turks and Kurds, but they, especially who live in Germany for long time, or already are children of migrants mostly are peaceful employed citizens. But current situation is completely different - Arab and African migrants don't whish to integrate into western society, now they gather in large communities, feel own strenght to dictate own demands (rejection of Macron to join a march against anti-semitism, for example after threat of of riots in migrant quaretrs), now they want that western society was subordinated to their traditions and lifestyle.

No. Europeans just bored of illegal non-europeans migration, impunity of migrants, their roistering, crawling islamazation and leftist speeches "we need more migrants for culture enrichment". They bored to feed all these agressive, laizy robs from own taxes, which as gratitude then conduct knife attacks in schools like in Dublin recently, trade dugs on the streets and turned out many places in Eurpoean capitals in scrap-heap. When I see dozen- and hundred thousands Muslim migrant marches in Germany, England and France, supporting Palestina (really supporting Hamas attack), carring flags of Khalifat, Al-Caeda etc, when I see speeches of migrants in Germany "We need Sharia right here", when I see landing of hunderds Africans in Spain and Italy, when I read how German leftist human rights organizations sponsored contrabandists, who transfer migrants through Mediterranian Sea, I also would be vote for anybody, who stop this s...t or to protect own country from this new hidden Arab invasion. So, this is maybe not good for us now, but this is good for long perspective to keep Europe as Europe, where we can celebrate Christmass as Christian holyday and eat a pork, whithout imposed shame that doing this "we offend Muslim's feelings, so we shouldn't do this". Else Europens will no more a masters on own land and will turn out soon themeselves in reservations. By the way after "right-wing" spectre G.Meloni became a prime-minister of Italy, many in Ukraine expected that Italy will more turn into Russian side, but all happened viсe versa.

This is a drone )

According to Defense Express Russia launches serial production of new helicopter-type UAV "Termit". This one, very similar to reduced copy of MD500 can carry three laser guided missiles, having 6 km of range. Speed - 150 km/h. Reportedly "Termit" project was started as far as before the war and now it went to finish line. Sanctions, eh?

The video of Shakheds attack repelling at Saturday morning. First time air-burst AA shells were spotted. Probably this is a work of newest Rheinmetal "Skynex" or "Skyranger 30"

Kyiv mobile groups have more tough equipment ) Though paired Maxim AAMG is much more good stuff than DP-27

People write this is mostly because of passivity and often hidden sabotage of local military-civil administration, tied with local "landlord" Derkach, who fled to Russia. Local SBU doing almost nothing with this "copperhead snakes". Also local military command took off SOF units, making anti-sabateurs raids and obligued TD and border guard units to defend the border, but terrain this very suitable for diversion raids. Unlike Belarusian border, covered by dense forests and swamps, defended by heavy fortifications and minefields, Sumy and partially Chernihiv oblats has foresry and mostly dry terrain, often with hills and deep ravins, which make easy the sneaking of Russian Spetsnaz. No minefield or fortified areas. Villages in 10-30 km from the border are almost completely abandoned. But anyway neighbor Chernihiv oblast has much less Spetsnaz raids, than Sumy oblast PS. This "Bukhanka", being shot out belonged to medical service.

All they were shot down, so their routes could see only radar operators %) Likely they had to hit power objects primarily. At least fragments of one cut off aerial power lines near power substation in the central part. In Kyiv oblast one enterprise dacility was slightly damaged by fragments. There is an opinion in this time Russians can launch missiles and Shakheds in khaotic manner, causing hits in residential areas and victims to force Ukrianians to push on authorities to negotiate with Russia to stop war on any terms
