βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Situation in the #Kherson Direction until 15:00 on 25 August 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΉIn the morning
, Ukrainian sabotage groups in three boats attempted to land on #Borshchevoy Island south of #Veletenskoye. As a result of dense artillery fire, one boat was destroyed with five people on it, and the other two departed back.

β–ͺ️ This is not the first attempt to land on islands in the #Dnieper basin. Yesterday, a similar attempt was at Alyoshkinsky Island, where a watercraft was destroyed at the mouth of the #Ingulets River.

πŸ”ΉAlso, Russian units repelled an attack by the 126th Territorial Defence Brigade near #Pereyaslavsky Island. At the same time, the AFU landed two groups on Melky Island southeast of #Kherson to set up an observation post.

β–ͺ️ The 11th Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard is expected to be transferred from #Ochakov to the coastal part of the #Dnieper.

β–ͺ️ Transportation of up to 100 units of equipment to industrial enterprises in #Kherson itself is also noted. And in Nikolayev, by 1 September, the arrival of the mobilized for the completion of a separate battalion of the Ukrainian Navy marines is expected.

πŸ“Œ Judging by the renewed activity of the AFU, the enemy intends to force the river again in the near future.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― Combined Attack by the AFU on #Crimea⚑️

πŸ—“ A few hours ago
, Ukrainian forces launched another missile strike on #Crimea. 11 Su-24M bombers, 5 of which were carrying Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles, took off from the #Starokonstantinov Airfield.

β–ͺ️ After reaching the border of the #Odessa and #Nikolayev regions, the groups of aircraft split up. 9 remained in approximately the same area, while a couple went south to #Ochakov. At around 12:00, eight Storm Shadows were fired at #Crimea.

β–ͺ️ At the same time, the reconnaissance teams of "Bears" PMC noted that 2 Su-24Ms, passing at a low altitude of about 40 metres above the water, carried out a launch from the Black Sea. And before that Ukrainian aircraft fired 3 AGM-160 MALD decoy missiles to mislead air defence systems.

β–ͺ️ The Pantsir-S1 SAM systems of the 31st Air Force and Air Defence Division shot down 5 Cruise missiles over Cape #Tarkhankut and #Belbek Airfield. 3 Storm Shadow fell near #Verkhnesadovoye, the target was probably a former military facility near the village.

β–ͺ️ A few hours before the attack, a reconnaissance drone of an unidentified type flew from #Kherson, which, rounding Cape #Tarkhankut, took up a patrol area west of #Kacha and targeted aircraft. It was shot down with a high probability by air defence means.

πŸ“Œ This attack demonstrates a slight change in Cruise Missile Tactics. Previously, such massive raids were conducted at night or early morning, but not during the day. And flying the bombers at extremely low altitude is something Ukrainian crews have been practising for months, trying to exploit gaps in air defence detection.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸš€ Complex AFU Missile Attack on #Crimea⚑️

πŸ—“ Let's summarise today's AFU attack
on #Crimea, during which they used both UAVs and missile weapons.

β–ͺ️ 1st, a Neptun antiship missile was fired from the vicinity of #Tuzlov, which was shot down along with 2 UAVs in the west of the peninsula.

β–ͺ️ And then 4 Ukrainian Su-24M bombers from the #Starokonstantinov Airbase launched 7 Storm Shadow Cruise Missiles. 5 of them were fired from the area of #Voznesensk and 2 more from the Black Sea area near #Ochakov from a height of up to 50 m above the water.

β–ͺ️ 4 missiles were shot down by the 31st Air Force and Air Defence Division: 1st over #Vnukovo, 2nd on the approach to #Gvardeyskoye, 3rd over the Bakhchisaray district, and 4th near Nakhimov Square in #Sevastopol (fragments fell near the Lunacharsky Theatre).

β–ͺ️ 3 missiles could not be intercepted, and they hit the General Staff of the Black Sea Fleet HQ. At the time in the building was no one but the duty service. And the information about the death of the Black Sea Fleet commander, dispersed by the Ukrainian media, does not correspond to reality.

πŸ’₯ The AFU attacks on #Crimea are becoming more and combined. Drones, antiship systems, and cruise missiles are being used, which complicates the operation of air defences. Even now, drones are being detected in the skies over #Crimea.

❗️And this became possible due to the absence of any at least equivalent reaction to the incidents on the part of the Russian command. Attacks on fuel storage facilities and oil depots are, of course, not bad, but they will not give the desired effect and result.

πŸ“Œ As long as there are no attacks on control bodies and command posts, the intensity of attacks by the AFU will increase. Meanwhile, in Kief, the work of all Ukrainian structures responsible for regular raids, such as the GUR and the SBU, goes on without interruption.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ In #Kherson Direction the AFU is forming a Strike Group for Operations on the Left #Dnieper Bank⚑️

πŸ”Ή While the main activity
on the #Dnieper is concentrated in the island zone, where AFU tactical groups are entrenched on Kazatsky Island, marines are arriving in the #Kherson and #Nikolayev regions.

β–ͺ️ On 24 and 25 September, another convoy of the 37th and 38th Separate Marines Brigades, which had previously operated in the #Vremyevka sector, passed westward through #Dnepropetrovsk.

β–ͺ️ 190 units of equipment are also moving there, including 13 Kirpi AFVs, 25 Husky AFVs, 10 Mastiff AFV, 7 Hummer AFVs, one M777 howitzer and one Stormer SAM, as well as about 13,000 militants (Marines alone exceed 8,000).

β–ͺ️ Some personnel and tracked vehicles have already deployed in the areas of #Vysokoye, #Ponyatovka and #Nikolskoye and have begun to interact with the Territorial Defence Brigades operating near the #Dnieper.

β–ͺ️ The rest of the Ukrainian Navy's units remain in the second line for the time being. To cover them from strikes, IRIS-T SAM positioning areas are equipped in Krutoy Yar and #Bashtanka.

❗️This group was sent to the destination for a reason. Now they are trying to secure a bridgehead on the islands with Territorial Defence forces, while more trained and equipped Marines are in reserve.

β–ͺ️ The focus on #Kazatsky Island may indicate the intention to land on the #Dnepryany - Novaya Kakhovka border and continue moving inland directly towards #Crimea, with air and artillery support, which in recent days have been trying to hit rear facilities in the #Kherson region.

πŸ“Œ However, such a sortie is suicidal. More likely the AFU will simultaneously try to attack from the direction of #Ochakov. And if we add the regular landing sorties towards #Crimea, the current marines transfer is may be linked to the planned largescale operation in the south.

πŸ“‹πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 28 September 2023; pub. 06:59πŸ“

β–ͺ️
The RF Armed Forces hit a military equipment storage site in #Kherson in the dark. An ammunition depot in the west of Krivoy Rog was destroyed, and local residents reported secondary detonations at the site. Explosions were heard at the #Kulbakino Airfield and in the town of #Ochakov in the #Nikolayev region. Explosions were reported at an ammunition depot in #Kramatorsk. Enemy air defence worked on "Geraniums" in #Nikolayev, #Kirovograd, #Vinnitsa and #Cherkassy regions. The enemy is systematically being destroyed by FABs on the enemy bank of the #Dnieper and on the line of contact on the #Zaporozhye front.

β–ͺ️ In the #Kherson direction, the strikes by our FABs are intensive in connection with the intensification of enemy troop movements. In the second echelon the AFU are also pulling troops. An attempt of a massive enemy landing via #Kazatsky Island to Novaya Kakhovka is expected. Kazatsky Island to Novaya Kakhovka. The AFU are studying the possibility of setting up pontoon crossings, a large number of which were previously supplied from #Germany. At the same time they are mined their coast in other areas, fearing counter actions of the Russian Army.

β–ͺ️ On the #Zaporozhye front the past day was characterised by the work of our artillery and the enemy's artillery. Our troops are strengthening their positions to avoid being hit by enemy shells in open terrain.

β–ͺ️ South of #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) there is fighting on the #Andreyevka - #Kleshcheyevka section along the railway line.

β–ͺ️ Local fighting is also taking place near #Kremennaya in the #Serebryanskoye forestry.

β–ͺ️ #Crimea repelled a #NATO missile attack in the evening. In the #Belgorod region, the settlement of #Bolshetroitskoye in the Shebekinsky urban district came under fire, a civilian was wounded. In the #Kursk region, the villages of Lokot Rylsky (a woman was wounded by glass shards) and #Giryi, Belovsky district (a UAV dropped an explosive device on a private enterprise, equipment was damaged) came under fire. On the DPR civilians, the Nazis fired 94 rounds of ammunition, killing one civilian and wounding three others.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš“οΈ On the Scenario of an AFU Landing Operation in the Black Sea⚑️

πŸ‘Ό Archangel of Special Forces has posted a detailed πŸ‘‰ description of his vision of a possible operation of Ukrainian formations in #Crimea. We talked about the possibility in πŸ‘‰ principle a few days ago, and now it's time to discuss how it will all be in practice.

πŸ”Ή The plan can be divided into several stages:

β–ͺ️ First stage: pinpoint strikes with cruise missiles on ammunition and equipment depots in #Crimea and #Kherson region. Objective: disruption of logistics and logistics services.

β–ͺ️ Second stage: strikes on control and communication points. Objective: disruption of troop planning and coordination.

β–ͺ️ Third stage: strikes on ships, ports and the BSF headquarters. Objective: depriving the BSF of any possibilities for manoeuvres at sea.

❗️And it is the third stage that we are now witnessing. Both missiles and uncrewed boats are being used. Along with this, sabotage groups are probing weak points in the defence of the peninsula. If the tasks are at least partially fulfilled, the number of assault groups' sorties to #Crimea will increase. By this point, the transfer of the Marine Corps to the #Dnieper River to support the ground offensive from #Kherson and #Ochakov should already be completed.

πŸ“Œ In parallel, the enemy is solving the task of destroying Russian Air Defence, Electronic Warfare and Aerospace Forces aircraft. But for the overall plan to squeeze the BSF will be more than enough. This will allow to control shipping, driving ships into bays and threaten Russia's trade by sea, as well as the gas pipeline and the Crimean Bridge. And one successful strike on the crucial Kerch Strait crossing would offset all the costs and losses.

β–ͺ️ In addition to the reputational disaster, #Russia could face the serious prospect of isolation that the Anglo-Saxons dream of. And this is exactly what looms before #Russia against the backdrop of events in #Transcaucasia. The tactical effect of the operation in #Crimea is likely to be minimal, but the geopolitical effect could be huge.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Siuation in the #Kherson Direction until 13:00 on 5 October 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΉWhile the Marine Brigades
are taking their positions and undergoing replenishment after losses suffered during the battles in the #Vremyevka sector, the main events near #Kherson have unfolded in the island zone.

β–ͺ️ On #Pereyaslavsky (#Kazatsky) Island, Ukrainian units from the Tactical Group (TGr) β€œOmaha” continue to hold the bridgehead, no matter what. TGr's losses are growing, one of the formations has already been withdrawn for replacement.

β–ͺ️ Russian troops are actively targeting the island with air bombs and artillery. The enemy tried to carry out a rotation on the boat. However, the RF Armed Forces sank the craft while loading personnel.

πŸ”ΉTo the west, the situation is a little better for the AFU. Yesterday evening, to strengthen the group, construction materials and ammunition were delivered from #Pridneprovsky and #Sadovoye on six boats to equip positions on #Alekseyevsky Island.

β–ͺ️ Also, a sabotage group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is actively operating near the #Antonovsky Bridge. Cover is provided by mortar crews, and guidance is provided by reconnaissance groups of the 35th Marine Brigade equipped with UAVs.

❗️We are also seeing interesting changes in the direction of the Kinburn Peninsula. TOPAZ military satellites photographed objects in several settlements in this area.

πŸ“Œ The attention of the β€œTopaz”, together with the transfer of four brigades of marines, including to #Ochakov, as well as the activity of the GUR SRG from the #Odessa region near the #Tendrovskaya Spit, suggests that this is where an attempt to force the water barrier and further movement in depth is possible.

#Report on October 10, 2023

β–ͺ️At night, the RF Forces hit enemy targets in the Nikolaev and Odessa regions . Explosions occurred in #Odessa , #Dachnoe, #Vilkovo, #Izmail district, port of #Ochakov. Local residents again noted the incorrect operation of enemy air defense; Ukrainian missiles with a disrupted flight path were caught on video.

β–ͺ️#Zaporozhye front, the enemy concentrated fire on our positions northwest of the village #Verbovoye, cluster munitions and a large number of kamikaze drones are used. The main losses of our forces are associated precisely with enemy artillery fire. Nevertheless, the RF Forces managed to carry out counter-offensive actions and knock the enemy out of their strongholds. There has been an increase in the use of #Krasnopol precision-guided ammunition by the Russian Army. The autumn thaw has begun: enemy infantry is moving on pickup trucks, and Western-made armored vehicles have begun to be seen less frequently.

β–ͺ️Dozens of our artillery and MLRS units have been working in the #Avdeevsky direction since the morning. It is possible that this could be artillery preparation for offensive actions.

β–ͺ️#Kupyansky direction, local successes of the Russian Army are reported: several enemy strongholds near Sinkovka are occupied. In the #Kupyansk area - targeted arrivals at the locations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

β–ͺ️South of #Svatovo near #Makeyevka (LPR), successful assault actions of the Russian Armed Forces against enemy strongholds are confirmed. Units of the 25th Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District, formed this year, are involved.

β–ͺ️On the left flank of the #Vremevsky direction, up to ten strong points of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are occupied by our troops as a result of offensive actions

β–ͺ️#Kherson direction, artillery duels and battles continue on the islands in the floodplain of the river Dnieper.

β–ͺ️An enemy UAV was shot down over the #Belgorod region . In the #DPR, the enemy fired 124 rounds of ammunition, two civilians were wounded.

πŸ“‹πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 12 October 2023; pub. 07:01πŸ“

β–ͺ️
The RF Armed Forces struck enemy facilities in #Kharkov, the #Kherson region, #Izmail in the #Odessa region, #Ochakov in the #Nikolayev region and #Uman in the #Cherkassy region during the night.

β–ͺ️ In the #Avdeyevka direction, the offensive of the RF Armed Forces continues. By the evening it was reported that south of #Avdeyevka a section of the railway south of the former recreation centre "Tsarskaya Okhota", which the AFU had turned into a fortification before the war, had been taken under control. The fighting is taking place near the village of #Berdychi and in the village of #Stepovoye (#Petrovskoye), and the "slagheap" on the northwestern outskirts of #Avdeyevka has been occupied. All day there were heavy bloody battles, since morning our artillery and aviation worked closely.

β–ͺ️ On the #Zaporozhye front the RF Armed Forces continue to destroy the enemy, who are sending forward small groups of infantry. Our barrel and rocket artillery and heavy flamethrower systems are working.

β–ͺ️ In the #Kherson direction, the AFU continues to prepare for offensive action across the #Dnieper, pontoon crossings are being pulled up in the northeast of the region. However, the grouping of the enemy withdrawn for the offensive is about 12 thousand militants, which is significantly less than the number of personnel of the RF Armed Forces on our side of the #Dnieper. Nevertheless, the threat of the AFU carrying out an operation to force the #Dnieper on a large scale remains high, despite the simultaneous conduct of a radio game to misinform the Russian command.

β–ͺ️ South of #Artyomovsk, the AFU attempted to attack our positions at #Ozaryanovka (located near #Kurdyumovka), but the attempt was foiled by artillery fire.

β–ͺ️ At night, an AFU UAV destroyed two residential buildings on the outskirts of #Belgorod. Three people died, including a small child. Two civilians are in intensive care. During the day, the AFU shelled the villages of #Dronovka in the Grayvoronsky urban district and #Grafovka in the Krasnoyaruzsky district, and a downed UAV detonated in #Novopetrovka in the Valuysky urban district. In the #Bryansk region, the AFU shelled #Suzemka twice, four civilians were wounded, a UAV was shot down on the approach to #Bryansk and over the Surazhsky district. By nightfall, #Sevastopol channels were writing about the destruction of targets over the Black Sea far from the city. On the #DPR, the enemy fired 36 rounds of ammunition and a civilian was wounded.
