Video of a miss by a MANPADS fired at a "Geran-2", which hit the building of "Ukrenergo" in the center of Kiev. Where the MANPADS rocket flew to is certainly an interesting question.

Today, many Ukrainian telegram channels have tried once again to "write off" the work of air defense as a result of a drone attack. However, some channels still admitted that a Ukrainian rocket, which tried to shoot down Geranium (drone), hit a house.

💢 Alexander Lukashenko met with a certain notable Russian philosopher whose name we cannot mention

👉 Their conversation lasted more than two hours.

The topic of the conversation is still unknown.

"If I die, you were right"... HE DIED.

Army General Sergey Surovikin on Tuesday spoke to the media for the first time since assuming overall command of the ongoing Russian military operation in Ukraine.

Describing the situation as particularly “tense” around the city of Kherson in his statement to the broadcaster Rossiya-24, he added that the military may be forced to make “difficult decisions.”

“The NATO command of the armed forces of Ukraine has long been demanding offensive operations in the Kherson direction from the Kiev regime, regardless of any casualties – both in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and among the civilian population,” Surovikin stated.

The Russian military is aware of Kiev’s plans to use “prohibited” means of waging war in the Kherson area, Surovikin added. Namely, Ukraine is preparing a massive strike on the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, located on the Dnieper River, as well as launching massive rocket and artillery attacks on Kherson itself.

“These actions can lead to the destruction of the infrastructure of this large industrial center and massive casualties among the civilian population,” Surovikin said.

In the ongoing effort to dislodge the Russian military from its positions, Kiev is pouring its reserves en masse into the frontline, the general said. The vast majority of those reserves are “territorial defense units, who have not been properly trained,” Surovikin added. Such troops have low morale, thus they are propped up by “barrier squads” composed of hardline nationalists “who shoot anyone trying to leave the battlefield,” he claimed.

The enemy’s daily losses amount to hundreds of casualties. We have a different strategy. <...> We are not aiming at fast-paced offensives, we spare every soldier and methodically grind the enemy’s attacking forces. This not only minimizes our own losses, but also significantly reduces the amount of victims among the civilian population.


“The enemy is the criminal regime that pushes Ukrainian citizens towards death. We are one people with Ukrainians and only wish for Ukraine to be a state independent from the West and NATO and friendly towards Russia,” Surovikin said.

Surovikin assumed overall command of Russian troops participating in the military operation earlier in October. The general has significant combat experience, ranging from hostilities in Chechnya to the operation in Syria, for which he was awarded the title of Hero of Russia back in 2017.

According to media reports, Surovikin was given the nickname ‘General Armageddon’ by his colleagues over his hardline and unorthodox approach to warfare. His elevation into the new role has coincided with Russia ramping-up aerial bombings across Ukraine, with cruise missiles and suicide drones attacking crucial infrastructure sites in the country.

Когда-то, лет пять назад, безуспешные попытки бороться со стереотипом под названием " а мы их Калибрами с Каспия закидаем" толкнули меня на беспрецедентный шаг: я сел в машину, один оператор включил камеру в салоне, обеспечив мне возможность комментировать, а второй поднял надо мной "птицу" - и таким тандемом мы из центра Донецка за двенадцать минут добрались до самой передовой позиции, не встретив по пути не то, что второй линии, но даже ни единого блокпоста.

Выложив эту "прогулку" в интернет, я хотел хотя бы таким способом подтолкнуть "спящих" военных начальников к продуктивной работе, но добился лишь ленивых возмущений. Понадобился харьковский "блицкрах", чтобы народ начал шевелиться. И пусть ещё много нелепостей в виде бетонных стаканчиков, перевёрнутых вверх дном с прорезанными "огневыми щелями", которые снаряд из БМП прошьет вместе с содержимым, - но работа кипит: роют, минируют, лепят змейки на дорогах... Все-таки в таланте видеть себя со стороны нашему народу не откажешь - все поговорки про попа и лоб, или про мужика и гром и спустя столетия показывают свою жизнеспособность.

Это про четырнадцатый... У них тоже не было бронежилетов, касок... Но они знали, зачем и ради чего.

Ещё до назначения Сергея Суровикина командующим СВО поступала тревожная информация о некоторых настроениях в среде военного командования Херсонской группировки по поводу Херсона и всей подконтрольной нам Правобережной стороны. Потребовалось вмешательство политического руководства, чтобы пресечь эти "настроения" и разъяснить недопустимость "непопулярных решений". Но сами по себе такие настроения не возникают - всё имеет предпосылки. Снабжение группировки через Днепр очень затруднительно, противник нависает и с использованием натовского ресурса эффективно бьёт по важным узлам, создавая управленческие трудности..

На днях только благодаря самоотверженным действиям группы добровольцев из 45-й бригады ВДВ был остановлен танковый прорыв - троих ребят из этой группы, из которых выжил с тяжёлыми ранениями только один, вы видите на снимке.... Вечная память героям.

Я надеюсь, что если ситуация сложится не в нашу пользу - противник не долго будет радоваться.
