IDF work in the northern Gaza Strip.

The first shots show the Merkava tank firing a machine gun and setting up a smoke screen. Next, you can see into what ruins the border area has been turned into during the continuous bombing for a month.

❗️Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah said it would go to war against Israel if Hamas “is on its last legs.”

Thus, if Israel achieves its goal of completely destroying Hamas, Hezbollah, supported by Iran, will begin full-scale military operations.

⚠️ Based on the situation in the Kherson direction.

In the Krynoki area the situation remains stable and difficult, the enemy is increasing the number of units of the 501st battalion of the 36th infantry infantry regiment on the left bank, at the moment the enemy’s manpower here is at least a company, mortars of various calibers are operating from Krynoki, up to 120, firing points have been installed with AGS, the approaches to the village and inside the village itself are well shot through, assault groups cannot push through something like this in a swoop.
Let us take the liberty of believing that not a single barn or other hut in which the enemy sits is worth the life of a Russian soldier, all buildings from which the crest is shooting must be demolished along with the Ukrainian.

The enemy placed the most vulnerable and key facilities, namely UAV deployment/control centers and electronic warfare systems, on the islands.

Enemy forces are covered from the right bank; due to the difference in elevation of the terrain, enemy tanks are able to fire directly from the opposite bank without leaving the road.
Grads and 155mm cannon artillery are working.
To supply the group on the left bank, the enemy uses high-speed motor boats (we will attach a video filmed by the enemy side).

The situation can be resolved, but this is not a matter of one or two days; we still do not understand the people who daily clear the enemy bridgehead on the left bank with one volley of the keyboard.

NGP RaZVedka:

⚠️ Based on the situation in the Avdeevsky direction.

⭕ Reports from the northern flank about our forces occupying the western side of the railway do not correspond to reality; reconnaissance was carried out in force, but no positions were occupied.
AKHZ was hit by a missile and bomb attack by the Aerospace Forces and heavy MLRS; among other things, a personnel accommodation point and an underground ammunition storage facility were hit, and secondary detonation was heard in nearby populated areas. They continue to compact Kabanchik, the destruction of materiel is very painful for the enemy, since it is impossible to transport large volumes of ammunition along the only road through Orlovka.

⭕ Along the southern flank.
Last night our forces carried out a daring foray into the area of ​​the former air defense unit and, taking advantage of the surprise factor, eliminated several enemy observation posts along with the inhabitants.
Khokhol continues to fire back with cassettes, but does not go on the attack.
Some units are threatening the command that they will leave their positions because they cannot wait for rotation for about a week, and the condition of the personnel does not allow them to remain on task for such a long time.

⚠️ Separately for the quarry: work is underway, we remind you that the capture of positions is followed by clearing and consolidation; in the case of a quarry, it is still necessary to go through higher work so that the victory does not become Pyrrhic. Each position can move from one side to the other several times a day, there is no need to run ahead of the locomotive as it was in Bakhmut, the boys sometimes have to catch up with the agenda.
Everything will be as Russia needs, a little patience.

⚠️ Avdeevka will be free. War criminals, which is every artilleryman of the Avdeevka garrison, will be punished.

If the Western reports are true, and Russia has 4 million shells left, assuming they get 1 million per year from NK and produce 1 million per year, that means that the RF can continue to use about 14k shells per day for the next 2 years.

-Zin

Additional: assuming that NATO has approximately 2.5 million shells left (155mm) and can produce 600k a year (the announced target for the end of this year) NATO stocks will be empty in 19 months if Ukraine fires 5k shells per day.

The goal is to produce 1 million shells per year by 2025, though. If NATO ever ends up in a pay as they go situation, at those production levels, that would leave them 3k shells per day with 0 in reserve. By then, Russian production levels will be quite a bit higher than that.

It's also highly unlikely that NATO will allow their reserve to fall below 30% in an extreme scenario.

-Zin

And yes, I consider these to be conservative figures.

At this rate, I give the AFU 1.5 years maximum before they have no choice but to sue for any kind of peace that they can get.

-Zin

I'm just doing a lot of back of the board math. Of course, Russia will not let their reserves drop to zero either, so both sides could end up in a "pay as you go" situation within the next year to year and a half (the RF probably has a lot more time than the AFU, I'd estimate 8 to 12 months for the AFU and 14 to 18 months for the RF), and NATO may also scour the stocks of non NATO countries in the meantime, but the end result will be, in the worst case scenario for the RF and the best case scenario for the AFU a 6000 to 3000 shells per day ratio, respectively, resulting, once the dust settles, in a frozen front line with no possible "AFU greatest counter-offensive sequel" to be had.

-Zin

The end result of all of this will be approximately $2 trillion dollars removed from the global economy, $200 billion in debt owed by Ukraine (whatever is left in whatever capacity it exists), a hole blown into NATO's arsenal worth another $100 billion, and over $1 trillion dollars in expenses to rebuild the Ukraine from the rubble. On top of that, hundreds of thousands of dead and a million people requiring a lifetime of additional Healthcare and rehabilitation, suffering from extreme PTSD. One of the greatest agricultural regions in the world will have to be restored, and the painful memories of the entire experience, the seeds of mistrust and anger, will be with us for decades to come.

For what? The greatest exhibition of hubris we've ever seen? The pride of dinosaurs from earlier generations that will be dead in 10 years (probably)? To support the hedonistic lifestyles of the children of these dinosaurs?
