⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦☠️ On the Downed Russian A-50 AWACS Aircraft⚡️

💬 Fighterbomber wrote: "The A-50 is Lost

📌 It is currently unknown who shot it down. All assumptions go to the garden.

❗️But 256 km from the Line of Contact...

🎬 According to this video, it is clear that the crew had information that a rocket was flying at them. They knew. We did what we could. What they must do.

🙏 Eternal flight..."

⚠️ 256 km away from the front. The friendly fire version seems to be rubbish, if there was not at the same time an entry of air vehicles in the region where the incident has happened.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 24 February 2024; pub. 10:00⚡️

🔹In the #Kherson-#Crimea Direction, the RF Armed Forces continue their actions to clear Ukrainian positions in #Krynki. The AFU is stubbornly resisting. (Fig. 1)

🔹In the #Zaporozhye Direction, the RF Armed Forces, supported by long range weapons, attacked the village of #Rabotino from the west and south. The frontline ⚠️did not change significantly. In the area of #Verbovoye, there are oncoming battles. (Fig. 2)

🔹On the #Donetsk Front, the RF Armed Forces continued their assault on #Novomikhaylovka from the south and east. ⚠️Without advancement. The AFU counterattacked in #Pobeda. Partially ⚠️successful.
📌 Russian units are holding the village, but in a very narrow frontal area, which could cause problems.
▪️ However, to the north, the RF Armed Forces have made some ⚠️progress towards #Georgiyevka. But this does not solve the issue in #Pobeda.
▪️From the west of #Avdeyevka, Russian assault units ⚠️gained a foothold in #Severnoye after shelling.
▪️ The AFU positions in #Lastochkino are now under attack from the north and east. Long range weapons of the RF Armed Forces are working powerfully on Ukrainian positions in the village itself.
Russian troops ⚠️advanced towards #Orlovka and ⚠️⚠️took #Stepovoye (not to be confused with the settlements of the same name in the Zaporozhye and Ugledar directions).
💥 Ukrainian positions in #Krasnogorovka town, #Netaylovo, #Tonenkoye, #Orlovka, #Semenovka and #Berdychi are under fire.
💥 The AFU artillery was working on Russian positions in #Maryinka, #Donetsk and the village of #Krasnogorovka. (Fig. 3)

🔹In the #Bakhmut Direction, the RF Armed Forces attacked on the heights northwest of #Kleshcheyevka. ⚠️Without success. And to the north they ⚠️entered #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye). In #Bogdanovka there are tough oncoming battles. (Fig. 4)

🔹In the #Lugansk Direction, the RF Armed Forces were conducting offensives west of #Dibrova, in the area of #Torskoye, #Yampolovka, #Terny and #Sinkovka. The frontline ⚠️did not change significantly. (Fig. 5)

The Economist reporting from the Avdeevka area: a great example of the “defeat is victory” narrative

The article describes the town of Pokrovsk as “a hardscrabble mining spot 45km north-west of Avdeevka”, which is now “crammed with Ukrainian soldiers, many of whom have just retreated from the fallen town."

Heavily fortified, Avdeevka had lain in a salient, surrounded by Russian-held territory for a decade. The Economist quotes Major Rodion Kudriashov, deputy commander of the 3rd Brigade (former «Azov») as saying: “We have lost a small battle, but we have not lost the war.” (Sure enough: a small battle for a town of “no strategic importance,” just like Bakhmut).

The Economist goes on to quote Aleksandr Tarnavsky, the overall commander of the sector, who claimed that 47,000 Russians were killed or injured in four months of battle for Avdeevka. This figure doesn't look particularly realistic given earlier Ukrainian estimates that the entire Russian grouping in the Avdeevka area was 50,000 men strong. Ukrainian forces do not give their own casualty numbers, though Major Kudriashov says they were “far lower” (clearly impossible to verify).

Major Kudriashov says that if Ukrainian forces had had more equipment and ammunition, the battle of Avdeevka would have ended “entirely differently”. Oh, come on, shut the stable door after the horse has bolted!

Drones are responsible for 30-40% of Ukrainian casualties in this sector, according to Asan Charuhov; up from just a handful casualties attributed to drones six months ago. Well, this makes sense, given the strong growth of the Russian drone production, while Ukraine depends on foreign supplies.

“There are no words to explain how tired we are,” says Viter, a Ukrainian soldier. Understandable, given that Ukraine is short of personnel (given large casualties and unwillingness to fight for the Zelensky regime), so timely rotation is an issue. Losing towns and villages does not inspire optimism in Ukrainian soldiers either.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment by US Influencers of "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

🤥🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇦: The ISW Trolls are rambling on empty again.🔸That the A-50 was shot down is a fact. That 2 were shot down in 2024 is also.🔸Apart from statements of well-known other trolls, the US Influencers can't come up with anything again.🔸The uneducated Brats are again using negative wording. With the best will, I don't know who the ultranationalists are supposed to be after Strelkov's arrest.🔸The ISW Information in the long text is not enough to make a judgement. Actually, the assessment would be the task of the ISW, with which the US Propagandists again confirm their own failure. Since the incident took place 256 km from the front, an air attack would be a mandatory prerequisite for the "friendly fire" variant. For the "ukro launch" variant, fragments of a corresponding missile would have to be found.🔸The latter could be blamed on the failure of a single defence unit. In the case of "friendly fire", either the Russian air defence would be overwhelmed, or the S400 is not up to the practical requirements under combat conditions, because it has no friend or foe recognition and the operators repeatedly shot down own aircraft under stress.🔸In the military part, the US Deceivers obscure important advances of the Russian.🔸ISW probably continues to drink the blood of deported Russian children, according to a well informed source not wishing to be named.🔸

⚠️ Warning! ISW is a troll entity linked to the US Regime. The henchmen spread propaganda and disinformation instead of providing a picture of the situation on the front, which is evident from the mostly fruitless frontline information.
