🇷🇺🇺🇦🎞 How to destroy the Leopard?

Soon Western tanks and armored vehicles will appear on the frontline — in the AFU's hands. It is difficult to underestimate the importance of effective destroying of these tanks, as it is of great military and psychological value for the Russian Armed Forces. However, first encounters with new equipment on the battlefield always results in numerous mistakes and, as a consequence, unnecessary losses.

🔻The Rybar team launches the video tutorials with the detailed analysis of the Leopards' vulnerabilities and explains how and what to use to destroy or to cause a significant damage to them.

In the first episode we review the design of the Leopard 2 tank, as well as the best ways to hit it with large-caliber machine guns, anti-tank systems and grenade launchers, and drones.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 About the destruction of the Patriot air defense system in Kyiv

Last night, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed at least one launcher of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system in Kyiv. Rybar's team managed to establish the exact location of the anti-aircraft battery. At least two launchers were located at the Zhuliany airport, where the Dagger hit.

Coordinates: 50.404161, 30.443186

Another place where the work of the Ukrainian air defense was noticed was the vicinity of the Kyiv zoo, where the wreckage of the released missiles fell. The system itself worked in close proximity to the Kyiv Polytechnic University named after Sikorsky.

Coordinates: 50.452699, 30.459805

As for the airfield "Zhulyany", footage from the surveillance camera got into the Network. In the video, you can clearly see the launches of 32 missiles (a total of 16 for each launcher), as well as the work of barreled anti-aircraft artillery - apparently, the Patriots covered the Gepard ZSU.

After the ammunition load was used up, an explosion was heard: the Russian "Dagger" managed to hit the positional area, despite two "Patriots" and one "Gepard".

Given the appearance on CNN of information about the damage to the complex - if not destruction, then at least a partial decommissioning of American air defense systems can be considered a fait accompli. There is another interesting detail: the appearance of a persistent rumor that the SAM operators could have deliberately released the entire ammunition load in order to reduce the radius of the explosion. That is, according to this version, they knew about the flying "Dagger" and deliberately used up ammunition in order to reduce the force of the subsequent detonation. Alas, we do not know how it really happened.

But we clearly see that the "Patriot" is not a superweapon, and it can and should be beaten. As well as the Gepard ZSU, which for the second time failed to cope with the task of covering the air defense position area from Russian weapons of destruction.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Massive Drone Raid on Crimea

During the night, Ukrainian forces launched a drone attack on the Crimean peninsula. It was reported that at least 36 unidentified UAVs were launched from the outskirts of the Odessa region.

The combined efforts of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense divisions resulted in the destruction of five drones in the northwestern part of Crimea. Additionally, a Su-30SM fighter from the naval aviation of the Black Sea Fleet intercepted and shot down one drone over Yevpatoria.

As the drones approached Crimea, electronic warfare units successfully suppressed 30 of them. Consequently, the attack by the Ukrainian forces did not achieve its intended goal.

🔻It has been over a month since the last massive drone attack, with the previous occurrence on September 21. This gap in attacks was due to difficulties in procuring commercial Mugin-5 PRO UAVs, as the Chinese authorities imposed restrictions.

The scarcity of these drones has limited the ability of the AFU to carry out mass launches across Crimea with the same frequency as before. This interruption in attacks suggests that Ukrainian forces needed time to accumulate more drones.

It is worth noting that previous drone raids were often followed by attempts from the AFU to launch missile strikes on the peninsula. Therefore, the night-time drone launch indicates the possibility of a resumption of combined attacks in Crimea in the near future.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 More and more information is emerging that Colonel General Oleg Makarevich has been relieved of his position as commander of the Dnepr group. Rumors about this circulated last week, and now they have finally been confirmed.

To be honest, this decision was long overdue - many of the decisions made by the peculiar military leader in the Kherson direction became widely known, such as his demands to install tags on positions and create area layouts.

Apparently, the final straw was the landing of the AFU on the left bank of the Dnieper: although the enemy's successes were mostly limited to a small bridgehead in part of the village of Krynki, the problems became completely obvious.

❗️Preliminary information indicates that the commander of the Dnieper group will once again be the commander of the Airborne Forces, Mikhail Teplinsky: he is renowned as one of the most competent generals in the troops, so the soldiers in the Kherson region will undoubtedly welcome this news with enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, the actual leadership of the entire combined group of troops (forces) is currently being carried out by Colonel General Alexey Kim , who is also known to be a competent, honest, and experienced commander.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Regarding the defense against a missile attack on Sevastopol

Just a few hours ago, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a total of eight cruise missiles, specifically Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles, towards Sevastopol. One Su-24M aircraft from the airfield in Starokonstantinov and three Su-27 aircraft from the Mirgorod airfield were responsible for this attack.

However, it wasn't just the Storm Shadow missiles that were launched. Two Neptune anti-ship missiles were also fired from the Odessa region, while three unidentified UAVs provided target designation while flying over the city.

❗️Thankfully, the crews of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division, utilizing the S-400 and Pantsir-S1 air defense missile systems, successfully shot down all eight cruise missiles, two Neptunes, and three drones. This took place over the coastal waters of the Black Sea, specifically in Sevastopol Bay and the Mekenzi Mountains. Unfortunately, some debris caused damage to private infrastructure.

🔻Based on the flight's geography, it appears that the Ukrainian forces attempted to target an ammunition depot, a Black Sea Fleet base, and a ship repair plant in the Inkerman area. It is worth noting the deliberate combination of targets to complicate the work of air defense.

Another interesting aspect is the utilization of Su-27 aircraft, which have also been upgraded to carry cruise missiles. This decision was made due to the heavy workload on the Su-24M aircraft and their limited availability (there were no more than 10-12 operational copies remaining in the summer, and likely even fewer now, considering the recent operation).

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Repelled missile attack on Crimea and suppressing Ukraine's Air Force

It has been revealed that the morning attempt to strike Crimea with Neptune anti-ship missiles and the subsequent attack on Strelkovoy were not the only incidents of the day.

🔻Almost simultaneously with the missile raid on the Kherson region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) made another attempt to target Sevastopol with three Neptunes between 11:10 and 12:04, bringing the total number to five for the day.

It appears that the objective of the anti-ship complex was to strike Black Sea Fleet ships and warehouses containing supplies. However, all the missiles were successfully destroyed by naval aviation fighters, specifically the Su-27SM and Su-27P, located 40-90 km northwest of Sevastopol.

🔻Simultaneously, a MiG-31BM fighter from the Black Sea Fleet took off from the Belbek airfield. Its on-board radar detected and targeted two tactical aircraft belonging to the Ukrainian Air Force, effectively neutralizing them with guided missiles.

Although the exact type of aircraft is unknown, there is a high likelihood that they were either MiG-29 or Su-27. The combined effectiveness of the MiG-31, S-400, and A-50 is proving increasingly successful, raising hopes for a more proactive response against Storm Shadow cruise missile carriers.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇦 An article in the American NBC confirms that Western countries are changing their rhetoric through the media and engaging in secret negotiations regarding the possible surrender of part of Russia's territories in exchange for peace.

🔻Furthermore, looking at the facts rather than ephemeral statements, it is clear that the losses of the AFU have reached catastrophic figures. Despite having a mobresource, the mood of the population is declining due to increasing casualties and lack of success.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces are advancing near Avdeevka, which highlights the difficult situation of the enemy. Units are being transferred from the Zaporozhye, Soledar, and Kherson directions. The 1st battalion of the 5th Tank Brigade (which is still being formed) will be transferred to the subordination of the 47th Mechanized Brigade due to losses.

▪️ A similar situation is unfolding in Kupyansk, where several mechanized brigades have been transferred to prevent an assault by Russian troops. The offensive of the AFU near Bakhmut has also resulted in multiple formations being sent for replenishment in exchange for a couple of villages.

▪️ The readiness dates for five new formations (150th, 151st, 152nd, 153rd, and 154th Mechanized Brigade) have been shifted from the end of January to the end of December due to a lack of personnel on the front line. One of the battalions of the 151st brigade is already scheduled to be deployed to the combat zone.

🔻Ukraine's economy is in a precarious state due to corruption and massive debts, relying heavily on external revenues. As a result, industrial and agricultural assets, enterprises, and deposits have been acquired for minimal cost.

The current situation reflects Ukraine's deteriorating position, with the West having obtained almost everything it desired. The remaining goal is to inflict as much damage on Russia as possible, achieved through the supply of long-range weapons and aircraft, allowing them to maintain their reputation.

The only options that seem to be left are an offensive in the Kherson Region and continued missile attacks on the Russian Federation. However, the offensive potential has been diminished, and it is unrealistic to restore it in the coming months given the existing losses and lack of time.

Nevertheless, this will enable the international community to prepare for a dead end and the necessity of peace on the most acceptable terms.

❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Battle for Avdievka: Historic Liberation of the Yasinovataya-2 Industrial Zone (Situation at the end of November 25, 2023)

A few hours ago, Russian fighters successfully cleared the last building in the Yasinovataya-2 industrial zone in the southern part of the Avdeevsky fortified area after several days of intense and bloody fighting.

▪️ Since 2014, the industrial zone had been under the control of Ukrainian forces. However, despite the fortifications and reinforcements, it is now completely under the control of the Russian Army.

▪️ This line holds not only symbolic significance but also has strategic importance as it is situated on a hill overlooking the southern outskirts of Avdeevka. The southern neighborhoods will be within range of fire from this line, further worsening the situation for the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine).

🔻Simultaneously, on the northern flank, Russian units achieved small but crucial results. Russian Armed Forces personnel were able to establish a foothold at the railway adjacent to the coke plant.

▪️ Through a successful assault starting from the gold dump and pumping station, the enemy was completely driven out, expanding the controlled zone near the plant.

🔻Intercepted communications reveal that Ukrainian forces are complaining about the lack of support. According to AFU members, the command has abandoned the Avdeevka garrison, leaving its subordinates to fend for themselves.

▪️ Meanwhile, the transfer of reinforcements is ongoing. Units from the 116th mechanized brigade of the AFU have been redirected from the Zaporozhye direction, and the 45th separate rifle battalion has been placed under the command of the 31st Mechanized Brigade due to losses.

🇷🇺 🇺🇦🖇️ Former commander of the US Armed Forces in Europe, Ben Hodges, who previously accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of improperly conducting military operations, shared a new set of advice for the government in Kyiv. According to him, Ukraine has a large number of men and women who are not actively participating in the military efforts and should be mobilized immediately.

The American general also emphasized the need to increase production. He referred to Nazi Germany as an example, stating that even in 1944, despite severe carpet bombing and a difficult situation at the front, they managed to produce a significant amount of military products.

📌 Interestingly, in the West, it is almost openly acknowledged that the only way for Ukraine is to continue the war until the last Ukrainian. The goal of the Kyiv government is seen as causing maximum damage to Russia before they run out of soldiers.

Furthermore, it is quite symbolic to mention Nazi Germany in the context of discussions about the current situation in Ukraine itself.

To those channels that are saying Ukraine is doing this with no "military goal" "just for the sake of retaliation" - you‘re wrong. They are doing this to provoke us into even more missile strikes. They saw the media attention they got yesterday. They were able to grasp some air yesterday. They desperately need this media attention to get the billion aid packages.

🇦🇲 🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Simonyan, stated that Russian border guards should vacate Yerevan airport. This occurred shortly after the announcement of Zelensky’s visit to Armenia.

The cause-and-effect relationship is quite clear: all of this is being done to appease the collective West, in order not to upset new respected partners (Russia is no longer such a partner). This is happening now to incite already disrespected Russian partners into making hasty moves and errors.

Russian security forces, merchants, and business representatives are being expelled from the country under various pretexts: in the name of safeguarding their own interests, due to Russophobia and the spread of rumors about the “Russian threat”, and under the guise that Russians are advancing the interests of Azerbaijan.

Nevertheless, a couple of questions remain unanswered: who will replace the Russians? And will this change be beneficial for Armenia?

The second question, however, is purely rhetorical.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 ✈️ Ukrainian sources have shared images of a new Russian gliding guided bomb with the UMPB designation. A notable feature was the inclusion of a jet engine, absent in conventional FABs with JDAM.

This feature not only extends the range of ammunition and enables the destruction of targets further from the front line but also allows for installation on a 300 mm rocket from the Tornado-S, creating a domestic counterpart to the American GLSDB system.

Undoubtedly, the visible progress of Russian industry in producing serial high-precision aircraft bombs is remarkable. While plans remained theoretical until 2022, the encounter with dense enemy air defenses during the SMO prompted the rapid development and mass production of new products.

This development naturally brings joy.

🇩🇪 🇷🇺🇺🇦 A few days ago, another mercenary from Germany named Stefan was taken out in the SMO zone.

About a year ago, a foreigner gave an interview while in Kharkov and discussed leading a reconnaissance group of the International Legion. He also mentioned that “the Russians had put a bounty on his head.”

The timing of the death "a few days ago" aligns with the aggressive offensive by the Russians and Ukrainian forces on the Russian border. Given Stefan's location in Kharkov, the pieces of the puzzle fit together quite well.

Regarding the bounty on Stefan's head specifically... Foreign mercenaries are actually considered higher-priority targets than members of the territorial defense. Sometimes, they are not even spared ballistic missiles and "Geraniums" on their barracks.

If a reward were offered for every foreign specialist, the extent of the "foreigner safari" would become blatantly apparent.
