πŸ“‹πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 4 August 2023; pub. 06:59πŸ“

β–ͺ️
Overnight, the enemy attacked #Crimea with aerial drones, the air defence worked in several areas, in particular, air bursts were reported from #Feodosiya. Near #Novorossiysk, a border patrol ship repelled an attack by enemy maritime drones.

β–ͺ️ Near #Kremennaya, our units continue their slow advance in the #Serebryanskoye forestry.

β–ͺ️ In the battles at #Kleshcheyevka, the enemy is advancing 20 metres a day and is constantly attacking from forward positions with the support of tanks. The southern part of the locality is behind the enemy, the AFU are under constant fire from our troops and suffer serious losses.

β–ͺ️ Near #Ugledar they are in the area of dachas, the AFU is striking #Nikolskoye and #Vladimirovka with cluster munitions. Conducts chaotic shelling of rear areas.

β–ͺ️ From the #Vremyevka direction, the enemy is not stopping the pounding on #Urozhaynoye, the enemy is hitting the rear of our troops with MLRS, but civilians are also under fire. Our troops are holding the lines, preventing the advance of the AFU.

β–ͺ️ In the #Orekhov section of the #Zaporozhye front, there are no changes. For the second day, the AFU continue to send forward enemy infantry in small groups, which are being destroyed by firepower on duty.

β–ͺ️ In the #Kherson direction, fighting continues on the islands.

β–ͺ️ The AFU is conducting terrorist shelling of the border territories of the #Belgorod, #Bryansk and #Kursk regions. In the #DPR, three civilians were injured by enemy fire.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― Combined AFU Attack in the Black Sea Zone⚑️

πŸ—“ Around midnight
, 2-4 Mugin-5 PRO UAV groups (at least 18) were launched near #Kherson, probably from #Chernobayevka airfield towards #Crimea.

β–ͺ️ One group moved via #Kalanchak towards #Armyansk and Cape #Tarkhankut, and the the other via #Chaplynka and #Chongar towards #Feodosiya. The first 6 UAVs were suppressed by electronic warfare (EW) over #Chaplynka.

β–ͺ️ Further, units of the 31st Air Defence Division worked on targets from Pantsir-S1 SAMs near #Krasnoperekopsk and Cape #Tarkhankut. 2 more were planted by EW near #Krasnoperekopsk and #Armyansk.

❗️The AFU main strike was concentrated on #Feodosiya, where Russian troops shot down 7 UAVs (3 with S-400 SAMs and 4 with ZU-23-2 guns), and 1 was suppressed by EW. 1 fell near an oil depot in the city, no damage data is available yet.

πŸ“Œ The attack on #Feodosia is not accidental. Large oil reservoirs are located in this city (the fall of the UAV nearby indirectly indicates that they were targeted). There is also a power station, linking the power lines of #Crimea.

βš“οΈ Details of the attack on #Novorossiysk have also emerged.Uncrewed boat struck the left side of the "Olenegorsk Miner BDK". As a result, one of the compartments was flooded, but the ship remained afloat and will be restored after repairs.

❗️In this case, it is curious that the boat approached the BDK unhindered. The crew probably did not expect the attack. And this also understands the issue of equipping all non-combat ships with additional machine guns, as has already been done on several BSF ships.

πŸ“Œ The combined attack on #Crimea along with the hit on the BSF ship came neatly after a comprehensive reconnaissance by #NATO aviation and satellites. And this time the AFU changed the targets. From the already somewhat familiar #Sevastopol and #Gvardeyskoye to #Feodosiya and #Novorossiysk.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 4 August 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΉThis morning
, Ukrainian unmanned boats attacked port infrastructure and ships of the Black Sea Fleet in #Novorossiysk. Unfortunately, one of the vehicles reached its target and struck the left side of the Olenegorsk Miner BDK. The ship received significant damage, but is still repairable.

πŸ”ΉIn addition, at night the AFU drones carried out another raid on #Crimea. One of the main targets was #Feodosiya, where Russian air defence and electronic warfare means neutralised up to 8 aircraft. Several UAVs were intercepted on the approach near #Armyansk and #Krasnoperekopsk.

πŸ”ΉMeanwhile, Ukrainian formations continue to gather forces both in the #Orekhov section, where the fighting has somewhat subsided, and towards the borders of #Kursk region. "Vyrusi" from the socalled "Russian Volunteer Corps" and Polish mercenaries have arrived there, which suggests that the enemy plans to carry out new forays deep into Russian territory.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts for the Evening of 4 August 2023; pub. 00:06⚑️

πŸ€” The AFU attempted to attack the Black Sea Fleet naval base in #Novorossiysk with unmanned boats. The enemy drones were destroyed, but the incident reminds us again of the need to improve the security of our maritime infrastructure. One of the few short term solutions is the creation of a monitoring system for the Black Sea waters. Of course, from the air, in order to detect enemy drones while still on approach, not after the fact.

βš”οΈ Situation on the Fronts over the past day

πŸ”Ή
#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

β–ͺ️ In the #Kupyansk sector, the AFU attacked near #Sinkovka, resulting in the loss of several strongholds due to a Russian counterattack.
β–ͺ️ Fighting continues near #Novoselovskoye.
β–ͺ️ The militants also tried to dislodge our fighters from the #Karmazinovka ledge, but in vain.
β–ͺ️ In addition, ours are advancing in the #Serebryanskoye forest and attacking near #Belogorovka.

πŸ”Ή#Zaporozhye Direction:

β–ͺ️ In the #Orekhov section, positional combat.
β–ͺ️ On the #Vremyevka ledge, the AFU are pressing near #Staromayorskoye, and are also massing for an attack in the direction of #Urozhaynoye.
β–ͺ️ Near #Ugledar, the militants attacked at #Nikolskoye, ours held their positions.

πŸ˜‚ AFU militants with (and without) experience got tired of regular shelling by the Russian army and relocated from trenches to ruins, filled with fighting spirit by the corpses of their β€œbrothers”. In general, this is exactly how that "very offensive" looks like from the militants' side. You can't sit in defence, and there is no support in attack, even from dead men.

πŸ’‘It's no secret that the 404 "offensive" has choked after weeks of heavy losses. Despite impressive reserves and western equipment, it was not possible to break through the "Ork" defences. So why are the AFU no longer good at "zerg rush"? Explains Readovka.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― As our πŸ‘‰ Forecast in the Afternoon - the AFU has attacked #Russia with drones again and one more Time the Crimean Bridge was the Target⚑️

πŸ”Ή Both aerial and maritime
drone raids are reported to have been repelled. The Crimean Channel reports that one of the drones allegedly crashed into a boom.

β–ͺ️ On the bridge itself, the lighting was turned off, as part of the blackout traffic was blocked, and the air defense forces are still working in full combat readiness.

πŸ“œ RYBAR; 5 Aug 2023, 00:29

❗️It is very interesting to observe the actions of Russian political figures with regard to the coverage of the events at the Crimean bridge.

πŸ’¬ The chairman of the movement
"We are together with Russia", Vladimir Rogov, announced the destruction of three uncrewed boats on the approach to the important infrastructure facility.

πŸ’¬ At the same time, the adviser to the head of the Crimean Republic, Oleg Kryuchkov, said that only the threat of an attack had been announced. The loud sounds heard by Kerch residents an hour ago had nothing to do with the Crimean bridge.

πŸ“Œ It is clear that there is no need for panic, and speaking about the absence of any explosions, the advisor to the head of Crimea is trying to reassure citizens. However, sometimes this position sometimes goes sideways, as it was this morning with the ship in #Novorossiysk. We hope that everything is now backed up by facts.

πŸ“œ RYBAR; 5 Aug 2023, 00:57

❗️The information about the hit on the Sig Tanker is confirmed. The crew is alive, but the engine room has been flooded.

β–ͺ️ Also air defence forces shot down at least one drone, which fell near the Crimean bridge.

πŸ“Œ The situation has now stabilised, but there is enemy activity in the Black Sea, so attacks may resume.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― On the Preparation of the AFU for Mass Strikes on #Russia's Southern Territories⚑️

βš“οΈ Recently,
the Naval Forces of #Ukraine's command announced the introduction of restricted shipping zones in the Russian ports of #Taman, #Tuapse, #Anapa, #Novorossiysk, #Gelendzhik and #Sochi. Not immediately, but from 23 August calling them a risk zone

❗️The advance publication of such data is part of an information operation aimed at artificially escalating tension in the southern regions of the Russian Federation. In addition, it may create confusion among civilian shipping companies operating in the Black Sea.

πŸ’₯ At the same time, strikes and attacks not only on warships of the Russian Navy, but also on civilian ships are quite likely. Against the backdrop of the recent attack on the Sig tanker, this is already rather a standard practice of the AFU as part of complex attacks on Russian territories.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ This is supported by the increased activity of #NATO intelligence. Only today, exactly after the πŸ‘‰ Raid of Drones, at least six aircraft and UAVs operated in the air over the Black Sea zone.

πŸ‡«πŸ‡· The flight of the French E-3F aircraft, which is a harbinger of upcoming attacks by the AFU looks especially curious. It operated in a completely new area, in the southeastern part of the Black Sea off the coast of the Krasnodar Territory at a distance of less than 190 km.

πŸ“Œ Also, a British RC-135 scout is currently operating south of #Crimea, about 110 kilometers away, along with an American RQ-4B drone. Judging by the proximity to the #Crimea, as well as the introduced danger zone near the Black Sea ports, the AFU is planning a massive combined attack, and today's attack is an assessment of the defense of the #Crimea.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ›³ Speaking of the new Route for Ship Movement from #Ukraine⚑️

πŸ—“ Now, at least six ships
are travelling in the direction of various ports in the Mediterranean Sea, from #Haifa to #Alexandria, according to data from the Marine Traffic Service.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ And the intelligence attention of the #US and #NATO Air Forces is fully focused on controlling this corridor. One R-8A, three MQ-9A Reapers and one E-3A UAV patrolled over the mouth of the #Danube and the coastline of #Romania and #Bulgaria.

β–ͺ️ That's not counting the RQ-4Bs and RQ-4Ds that have been monitoring the situation off the coast of Krasnodar Kray all today, apparently tracking Black Sea Fleet activity and the fire in the port of #Novorossiysk.

❗️The new route on the example of Joseph Schulte is quite workable. Vessels sail along territorial waters, and in the event of the approach of the Russian fleet, they can easily enter the ports of #Constanta, #Varna and #Burgas, not really worrying about possible inspections.

β–ͺ️ It is possible to prevent this. However, the capabilities of the Navy are very limited for several objective reasons, from gross mistakes in the construction of the fleet in the pre-war period to the irrational use of forces and means. And, unfortunately, there is no progress on many organizational issues at all.

πŸ“Œ At the same time, the free movement of ships to #Ukraine and back creates additional threats to Russian harbors and ships. Especially given that #NATO intelligence is working without interruption, and the AFU are intensively preparing for attacks, which they want to coincide with the Independence Day on 24 August.
