Ukraine reportedly has started a forming of new batch of five brigades: 150th, 151st, 152nd, 153rd, 154th Currently unknown either will be they mechanized or motorized, or infantry. Also I'm no clue where we will take at least 450 armored vehicles and 150 tanks for them, when we have sharp lack of light armor even in existing brigades. Especially painful about this, when you have seen such news that Canada is going on to scrap dozens of light armor, which could be repaired and used in Ukraine: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/armoured-vehicles-armatec-ukraine-dnd-1.6973154 The Department of National Defence (DND) says 67 tracked light armour vehicles (TLAVs) out of a fleet of 140 are "parked awaiting final demilitarization and disposal, or are being used as a source of spare parts" for the 73 vehicles that remain in service. All of the M113 troop carriers, which have been in service for decades, are in "poor condition" and are awaiting disposal, DND says. The Canadian army also has 195 LAV II Bisons and 149 Coyote armoured reconnaissance vehicles that will be taken out of service this year, as well.

Probably the first video of RBS-17 usage

Just a term of contract of gas transporting through Ukraine will expire in 2024 and Ukriane will not prolong it

Meanwhile in some Muslim Caucausians Russian republics splashed a wave of antisemitsm on background of Gaza crisis. In Dagestan Republic in Khasaviurt city locals surrounded hotel "Flamingo", where by rumors were citizens of Israel. Several locals searched the hotel (police was present too, but participated in this), but not found Jews. Dissappointed crowd didn't want to disperse On the doors of hotel was hanged this paper: Strictly no entry to foreign citizens of Israel (Jews) !!! Jews are not living here!!!! In Dagestanian main city Makhachkala crowds on the streets stop cars near airport and search them to find Jews. Next step - crowd bursted to airport and looking for Jews, who could arrive by regular route from Tel-Aviv. The crowd aggressively encircled the plane of Red Wings company "to check passports" of passengers. No counter-action from police and airport security Along with Dagestan gatherings of people in Karachayevo-Cherkesiya Republuc demand from local authorities to expel all Jews beyond trrritory of Republic

FPV drone of 11th public security brigade of National Guard has destroyed T-90M on left bank of Dnipro in Kherson oblast. This is the second T-90M destroyed there for 3-4 days. First one was destroyed near Pidstepne village, when it along with T-72B3 tried to attack UKR bridghead

Here a thread about 137th marine battalion infiltration into Krynky village. According to today's information of some UKR TGs all Krynky so far under UKR control. Though it's doubtful because of this is very long village. Krynky on the map

This night UKR drone struck oil refinery in Krasnodar region. At the same time oil reservoir was set on fire in Komi Autonomous Republic (northern Ural) in Usinsk city. Reportedly explosions were hears before this, one man has died, one was injured. No information it was technical failure or diversion

Situation near Avdiivka was slightly cooled in past days because rains and cloudy weather, so no one side couldn't use most type of drones. Russians, having lost many vehicles, came to Bakhmut scenario and now operate mostly with small assault groups of squad-platoon size, trying to pentrate our defense along railroad near Krasnohorivka on the northern flank of Avdiivka. Despite Russians forced UKR troops to withdraw from slageheap and set a flags on it eastern slope, they reportedly couldn't gain foothold there and can't use this position neither for observation, nor for combat positions like ATGMs. Any movement and attempts there immediately are spotting and nipping in the bud. UKR troops even didn't spare of FPV-drone to eliminate enemy flags over slageheap. It happened on 24th of Oct. As you can see no Russians on the top of slageheap. Here is UKR position and 16 destroyed Russian vehicles around it - real fields of death Also known video of attack near Krasnohorivka but from other point of view. Now we can see hit of Russian UR-77 and Russian infantry supressed by fire (or even dead) I was wrong, identifying BTRs as belonging to 15th MRB of Russia, they were from DNR "Sparta" recon-assault battalion, operating on southern flank.

UKR BAT-2 tracklayer tries to fight with "rasputitsa", but after dozen vihicles will pass this road, the crew lekely will do this work again

Svatove - Borova direction of Kupiansk sector. Russians have "negatory advance" again. They already lost more than half of own gains of initially successful attack on this direction in July UKR troops now approached to Serhiivka village

"Kub" SAM, upgraded for RIM-7 SA missiles. UKR hadn't "Kubs" on armament, likely some Eastern European country aid, probably Poland.

Recently there was information, that Russian police conducts raids in markets, mosques and residental areas, where in Russian cities, especially Moscow, they can find migrants from Central Asia (but not Caucasins - those guys can beat up police and this will not have any consequences). Those, who had Russian citizenship, police takes to enlistment centers, where they had choice - to sign a contract with Russian army or cancelling of Russian citizenship. Looks like many of them choose the first variiant: In first time to one of 7th air-assault division units, a replenishment has arrived, consisting completely of Centarl Asia migrants, who received Russian Federation citizenship. Russian airborne troops cease to be Russian

There are strikes on US bases in Syria reportedly with casualties. Somebody very want to set huge fire on Middle East, additioanlly to Ukraine to disperse US aid and involvement.

Russian assault group on southern flank of Bakhmut was perfectly hit by two 120 mm mortar shells and eliminated. The work of 3rd assault brigade, 2nd battalion

Left bank of Dnipro. Judging on videos of Russian FPV strikes, UKR troops have significant gains as for so small landing forces: - Russian strongpoint NW from Pishchanivka village is captured - Russian strongpoint north from Pidstepne village is captured Russian TG Romanov92 reported UKR troops delivered 20 men more on 4 boats to central part of Krynky village, so UKR presence in this looooong village (9 km) increased with new bridgehead. Later Romanov wrote "9 boats more landed UKR troops from railways to Krynky" Russian artillery and FPV actively work on Krynka, Russians also drop 2-3 dozens of glide bombs on right bank of Dnipro each day, but Krynky stands. German journalists showed training of UKR units of river crossing with M3 Amfibious Rig. UKR srviceman didn't hide: "Our main question is Dnipro crossing"

Vuhledar direction. 72nd mech.brigade fireballed probably TOS-1A (not enough good quality of video to be 100 % sure) with FPV drone

Probably they rest after Bakhmut rotation You can track them in their twitter: https://twitter.com/legion_svoboda

1st battalion "Da Vicnci Wolves" of 67th mech.brigade on training. "Spartans" are used like APCs.

Russian tried to disembark own small assault group close to slage heap, but their BMP-1 was hit by drone in the same place, when previosly was destroyed large column - at the end of the video you can see the same known capsized BTR-50. Russian infantry fall one by one from top of armor. The video begins with a joke "Ukrainian ABC for kids" - "P" (Pinguin) - "Pikhota - Pryishly - Pomerly" (eng. Infantry - came - died)

Usual morning %)

This is "Scorpion" - US-localized 120 mm Spanish "Alacran" SP-mortars. The system is mounted on Land Cruiser. According to Oryx two already were lost.

They already lost one Ka-52M

"Azov" fighters conducted a raid in the forest near Kreminna and destroyed some Russian engineer equipment, including a truck with manupulator, which set dragon teeth. And a video of "zero day of recruit" in "Azov" brigade. Pay attantion - how many young men in comparison with usual ground forces units. "Azov" and 3rd assault brigade have own recruitment system, own phisical tests and own 4-weeks training program (though after standard training of recruits in other training centers)

Russians are testing new type of kamikdze drones of long range, but much smaller than Shakheds. Yesterday two were launched on Kyiv oblast and one of them struck Vyshhorod town, also one explosion probably was in Irpin'. No significant damage, this is a sound of this small sh...t. Now again drone attack alarm in Kyiv oblast an reportedly again against Vyshhorod Press-secreter of Air Defense Command told that they investigated fragments of these two drones of unknown type - they had engines, being ordered on AliExpress.
