I heard that from 21 Shakhed 17 were shot down and 4 hit tarhets in Khmelnytskyi and oblast. Officially only told about drone with struck some "infrastructure object" in Khmelnytskyi oblast. Because of then was anounced about trains delay, lilely some railway power facility was hit. But about three Shakeds hits inside Khmelnytskyi city was mean only "21 citized were injured, in multiple buildings were broken windows and some got light damages". Now it's clear why. Khmelnytskiy passes missiles and Shakheds with bad results not in the first time. Alas, no conclusions to this time, as we can see.

UKR Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) soon will receive 105 German UAV Vector wich can be converted from copter to fixed-wing plane and back. Also this UAV is all-weather and has own AI, which allows identify targets.

Interesting detail of first successfull assault of 3rd brigade against Russian 72nd brigade on 8th of May: burning enemy BMP on known video (at 5:52 on video above) is a result of KS-19 AA gun work %) This gun supported assault and was towed by truck. Like a FLAK 88 ) First news about KS-19 in UKR service appeared in April 2023. Defense Express assumed that can be not only captured Russian guns (four were abandoned during Balakliya-Izium operation), but also guns from stocks. Recently wasn't unable to restore KS-19 because absense of ammunition. But likely Bulgaria pledged own OF-412 ammo for them.

Interesting information about current situation with APFSDS in UKR and RU armies from the tanker of 3rd assault brigade (on the photo 3BM44 Mango APFSDS projectile with BM42 rod): - What a fu...g meeting! Very rare guest in our corner of the world! - Mango? It should be main AP-ammo of orcs - Who said that? They have mainly, like and we are BM22 (Zakolka) and BM26 (Nadezhda) - I've read before a war they sold by Indian contract some Mango-M. Patriots then cried "Where our Svinets?" - All what is issued for public and that, what in real are different things. Yes, no doubt, recently thet had more BM42 (Mango) then we had in percentage, but now they mostly use BM15 and BM22. So, Russian stocks of relatively modern APFSDS also degraded. We can't see mass usage of newest Svinets ammo, though we got as trophies several 3BM60 Svinets-2 with tungsten rod (3BM59 with DU rod wasn't spotted in Ukraine). According to Defense Express information, destiny of Svinets is unclear, because in 2020 MoD ordered 2000 3BM44M "Lekalo" (or other name "Mango-M"). So in current stage of war (likely from the end of summer 2022) Russian tankers use old BM12/22/26 as main APFSDS

Prigozyn already threaten with "soldiers riot", which "will tear as**..oles of those, who betrayed them". Today was issued his audio.

It's a real problem for new established units and not only for motor-rifle regiments of Territorial Troops, which are "motor-rifle" mostly on paper. Even new units in composition of Army have a lack of armor. One of accidents - five mobiks of some regional unit of Altay region were killed, when their UAZ-452 "Bukhanka" was hit - they used it like personnel carrier, because their unit hasn't enough armor. And even this UAZ wasn't from military stocks, but was donated by civilians.

Meanwhile in parallel reality Headline of article "Ukrainain army living out last days" - interview of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" with retired spetsnaz colonel, who claims this, because "UKR top-command eliminated and troops now without command"

Also no smoke trail behind something, what hit helicopter, so this wasn't SA-missile.

But AD should expect missiles from UKR border, but not from own rear %)

Su-35 usually conduct both fighter escort and strike mission simultainously, because it also can carry guided bombs, including newest UPAB. Yesterday Russians tried to destroy the bridge through Snov river in Chernihiv oblast near Karpovychi village, but looks like guided bomb hit close and only slightly damaged the bridge

3rd separate mot.inf battalion of 24th mech.brigade now in Bakhmut and share some aerial photos

See above, Russians claim that was UKR fighters ambush with launches near the border

Reportesly crews of all four shot down helicopters and jets didn't survive

Russian PsyOps two days ago threw in our information space news as if Zaluzhnyi and some other top-commanders were eliminated in strike. Proofs? Because Zaluzhnyi didn't appear on planned meeting with NATO officials, even via video-conference. Alas, many of our "hissterical-squirrels" (especially Poroshenko-fololowers) became spread this news, adding own conspiracy based on fictional conflict between Zaluzhnyi and "Russian agents" Zelenskiy and Yermak. By the way in parallel reality of Poroshenko-followers, the war against Russia conducts only Zaluzhnyi, in that time when evil Yermak and his stupid puppet Zelenskiy try to betray and capitiulate, so Zaluzhnyi gives to the one plans of war, but in real realizes completely different one, because he knows, if they know real plans, they habded over it to Russia. Yes, this is Ukraine...

Interesting post of one blogger, but it enough good reflects deep Russian mentality - to seek a new master if old one didn't live up to expectations. I will not translate all - main take is next: Russia has started conflict, having total superiority in all military branches, especially in aviation, long-range missiles and fleet. Russia had own ammunition production, when Ukriane hadn't. First three months allies didn't give to Ukraine nothing significant, only in June first 4 HIMARSes were aarived. And we managed to be fu...d on all northern front. Khokhols after this are highest race, than we are!!!! Fu..k, who else would stand against such advantage?! And now they gor modern equipment in that time we take old T-55 from storages. Now we will die on frontline and Tadjiks will come to our cities, Kadyrov call Russians to reproduce, in order he has someone "to millk" for money and subventions. What the fu..h sh..t?! Let khokhols capture us, they even look like us, they are highest race relatively us, if we after collapse of USSR reached the point where Tuvian fu..d fool [Shoigu] rules over us, and mountain sheep-fu...r [Kadyrov] compels all to excuse on video. This is total crash. Khokhols, we are ready to wear "sharovary" (Turkish-fasion trousers, popular among Cossacs since end of 17th centure, which became one of stereotype of Ukrainians), to make Ukrainian language as a state language and I already ordered "vyshyvanka" (traditional Ukrianian embroidered shirt) on Ali-Express. Forgive us, we recognize your superiority, we don't be slaves of "churkas" (snooty Russian name for all Middle-Asian and Caucasian nations) and Tuvians, protect us!

We hadn't R-77

After yesterday ADM-160 launches, someone noted, that current launching platforms for this missile is B-52 and F-16 only. Sooooo.... Maybe we already have F-16? from Netherlands %) Russians write (lower post): Our aviation group was ambushed. Ethernal flight to our guys, and those who was responsible for border [covering] - a [shovel] handle in their as....oles And yes, they launced missiles from Chernihiv oblast, coming almost closely to the border

I also have suspicious about AIM-120. Revenge for KAB strikes. Inetersesting, yesterday Russians lost Mi-28 near Dzhankoy. Crew lost. Initially was claimed about accident. Today already they say allegedly during trainig flight, group of UKR UAVs were spotted in Crimean airspace and because of S-300 prepared to engage them, missile warning was anounced for crews with order return to base immediately. But one helicopter wasted a time and was targeted by S-300 missile. It has broken on two parts after hit. So, either friendly fire, or... AIM-120 too?

New strike in Luhansk. Building of former Internal affairs academy was hit

Troopers of 80th air-assault brigade on seized positions of Russian VDV counterparts in Ivanivskyi forest. On southern flank Ukraine forces have enough shock elements - 3rd assault brigade (at least two battalions), 80th air-assault brigade (at least one batatlion), 24th separate assault battalion "Aydar" of 53rd mech.brigade, volunteer recon battalion "Sonechko" ("Sunny") Yesterday info about 36th marines on northern flank likely was misspeling, probably author of post about "36th brigade" meant 56th mot.inf.brigade.

Intersting hint from guy who involved on nothern flank - I say only one word and that one, who in theme will understand: Berkhivka - Water reservoir or you are already in the village? - Silence for now ....

Some Russians have semi-joke conspiracy that "Stalingrad scenario" (collapsed weak flanks and encirclement of main forces inside the city) is a revenge of Shouigu to Prigiozyn. In this vendetta in struggle for (future?) political influence lives of Vanyas don't matter.

That what developing now around Bakhmut is not classical WWII offensive operation with tactical elements not less than battalion or regiment. Despite you hear "3rd assault brigade" or "80th air-assault brigade", etc, indeed this is operation of dozens small pushes of small assault groups on the level of companies under battalion command. Russians in the same way hold multiple dispersed positions of squad/platoon size. So it's not quite coorect to compare this with WWII

Some words about Bakhmut and around from UKR TGs. Inside the city, UKR troops repelled two heavy assaults on school and kindergarden in Korsunskoho str. area and even could slightly advance in kindergarden area. Though, Wagners still assault, but interest detail - their own arty alsmot completely shut up. Instead them Russian VDV and Ground Forces arty works very intensively, but mostly not on the city, but on logistic routes and close rears. UKR troops continue pressure from three sides on part of Ivanivskyi forest, held by the enemy. 3rd assault and 80th air-assault brigades have some successes. On the northern flank elements of 36th marines brigade reportedly arrived - likely thanking to their attacks Russians withdrew on several kilometers. Our soldiers reported they spotted first "Kadyrov's troops", but unclear where it happened and in which way - contact or radio-interceptions

Their training centers together with Belarusian are unable to train more than 250-300 000 men in two months.
