✍️ 📜 The situation in the Bakhmut (Artemovsky) direction on July 30 - analysis from @Multi_XAM

The situation is still tense. On the southern flank in Kleshcheevka, the enemy continues to push through our defenses. Despite the replenishment of losses due to reserves, our units were forced to retreat east to the railway. In fact, the inhabitant is now in the gray zone. The enemy fails to gain a foothold.

The plan of the offensive of the group of troops "Bakhmut" is still aimed at establishing control over the dominant heights to the south and north of the city.

At the moment, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has carried out a regrouping of forces and means, transferring units of the 1st battalion of the 115th separate mechanized brigade to reinforce the 56th separate motorized infantry brigade. In the Kurdyumovka area on the southern flank of Bakhmut, the enemy rotated the 104th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade (TrO), which is included in the combined arms reserve of the commander of the 28th Motorized Brigade, concentrated in the Kurdyumovsky sector. Rotated units of the 104th brigade were withdrawn to Konstantinovka to restore their combat capability.

The task of capturing Kleshcheevka was assigned to assault groups from the 3rd and 5th separate assault brigades (OShBr) and the 80th separate air assault brigade, the 57th separate air assault brigade, as well as subdivisions of the KRAKEN MTR battalion.

On the northern flank of Bakhmut, the enemy, advancing with the forces of assault groups from the 30th, 60th Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 56th Motorized Rifle Brigade, intends to continue assault operations in the direction of the settlements of Minkovka, Berkhovka, Bogdanovka and Dubovo-Vasilyevka . The assault groups of the 93rd Motorized Brigade "Kholodny Yar" are in reserve. There is a high probability that the enemy will resume active offensive operations in the very near future.

"The Pentagon will acquire Starlink terminals for Ukraine, which Musk will not be able to disable, according to NYT.

The publication reports that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved this deal in June. As a result, the Pentagon will gain full control over the installation and functioning of the terminals on the territory of Ukraine. According to two sources, the acquisition of 400 to 500 Starlink terminals is expected, which will be used to perform specific functions and missions."

"Ukraine has to take the big risks. All Russia needs is not to lose." This peculiar headline comes from a lengthy piece written by British military expert Michael Clarke, which was published in The Sunday Times today. The author enthusiastically claims that Ukraine finally has a chance to break through Russian defenses, seemingly forgetting that the British expressed almost the exact same sentiment in early June.

Clark went as far as comparing Ukrainian General Syrsky to Wellington on the eve of Waterloo. In the army, Wellington was nicknamed "Beef". I believe Syrsky could also earn a similar moniker due to his "meat assaults"...

-This comes at a perfect time along with this from a #Source Ukrainian referencing a #Source News

After the closure of the Black Sea grain corridor, the main route for Ukrainian grain exports should have been the Danube ports, which already account for up to 40 per cent of transshipment.

But Russia has started attacking the Danube port infrastructure as well. This week, the port of Reni, which at the time was home to six Romanian ships, was hit, one of which was damaged.

"Due to the new risks, insurers are already demanding that all charters be reissued and are raising ship insurance rates by 15-20 per cent. There are such precedents, in particular, for the insurance company Lloyd", - says Vyacheslav Konovalov, analyst of the company "Europatrol" (engaged in research of transport markets).

That is, it turns out that the Danube export route, which exporters were counting on, is now under question, especially if attacks on ports continue.

(Note: The paragraph is edited for clarity)

Washington is delaying the delivery of F-16s to Ukraine, citing the belief that the fighter jets are unlikely to alter the course of the military conflict.

As a result, several Ukrainian airfields need to undergo preparations to accommodate the US fighter jets. F-16s have specific runway requirements due to the low location of the air intake to the engine, necessitating runways of exceptional sterility and quality. Additionally, this fourth-generation fighter demands specialized service centers for maintenance and support.

Unlike tanks and guns, the F-16 requires thorough maintenance after most flights and a whole "ecosystem" of support. Operating experience with the F-16 in Poland has shown that it often requires replacing entire blocks of equipment. Regrettably, Ukraine lacks such maintenance centers since its Air Force has been equipped solely with Soviet-era aircraft until now. Experts estimate that it would cost Ukraine 5-6 billion dollars and several years to build the necessary infrastructure for F-16s.

Moreover, it is essential to recognize that retraining Ukrainian pilots to operate the F-16 is not a task that can be accomplished in a day or even a month. Learning to fly a combat aircraft does not automatically equate to mastering its tactical employment.

Given these challenges, Ukraine's allies are still attempting to gather old MiG-29s and SU-27s from Europe that have not yet been dismantled for spare parts.

-Ukraine is either stuck leading the 'meat assaults' or googling what all these new fancy knobs do during an attack run. Choose your poison.

Our Armed Forces, repelling the counter-offensive of the collective enemy, are defending the citizens of Russia and our land. This is obvious to all decent people.

But beyond that, they are preventing a world conflict.
After all, if we imagine that the offensive of the Ukrobanderites with the support of NATO succeeded and they took away part of our land, then we would have to use nuclear weapons by virtue of the rules of the decree of the President of Russia dated 02.06.2020.

There would simply be no other way out.

Therefore, our enemies should pray to our warriors. They do not allow the world nuclear fire to ignite.

Happy Russian Navy Day!

P. S. The Poseidon drone joins in the congratulations and recommends our country's enemies to pray for the health of all Russian sailors.
