πŸ“‹πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 30 August 2023; pub. 06:51πŸ“

β–ͺ️
Overnight, the RF Armed Forces launched strikes on #Kiev. Six enemy targets are reported to have been hit. Explosions were also reported from the #Odessa and #Kirovograd regions, a number of which were caused by the fall of Ukrainian air defence missiles.

β–ͺ️ The AFU organised a mass UAV raid at night on the #Pskov, #Orlovsk, #Ryazan, #Kaluga, #Moscow regions and the hero city of #Sevastopol. Most of the drones were destroyed. At the military airfield in #Pskov, two Il-76s burned down and two were damaged. Local media write about a fire at the deployment site of the 2nd GRU Special Forces Brigade. According to preliminary estimates, the enemy launched 21 drones towards #Pskov alone. A strike on the Kremny EL Plant, which produces microelectronics, was filmed in #Bryansk.

β–ͺ️ At midnight in the Black Sea our aircraft destroyed 4 enemy boats with 50 personnel on them. It is possible that the enemy is hatching plans for a new landing in the #Crimea.

β–ͺ️ On the #Zaporozhye front, the AFU continues its attacks on the #Rabotino - #Verbovoye line. The enemy is bringing heavy armoured vehicles into #Rabotino. One "Leopard" and several armoured vehicles were destroyed near the village. The RF Armed Forces brought into the battle the units that had been previously replaced by the 7th Air Assault Division. The heaviest bloody battles are taking place.

❗️This section of the front shows signs of a change in the AFU's strategy. After the West's open dissatisfaction with the results of the Ukrainian strategic offensive operation, the enemy is pulling together all forces into a strike fist, trying to achieve success before the autumn thaw.

β–ͺ️ In the #Kherson direction, boats on which the enemy was attempting to land a landing on islands in the #Dnieper River floodplain were destroyed.

β–ͺ️ Fighting continues near #Kleshcheyevka south of #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut).

β–ͺ️ The Korenevsky district of the #Kursk region was shelled, in the #Bryansk region the AFU shelled the village of #Klimovo with MLRS, 6 people were wounded, including children. Shelling of the #Belgorod region continues unabated. In the #DPR, three civilians were killed by AFU fire.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― On the massive Ukrainian UAV raid on #Russia on the Night of August 2023⚑️

πŸ—“ Last night
, Ukrainian formations used drones to attack Russian rear facilities. Air defence and electronic warfare units neutralised the drones over the territories of at least six regions.

πŸ”Ή#Pskov was subjected to the most massive attack. The enemy launched 21 drones at the civil military airfield. Despite intercepting most of the UAVs, some reached their intended targets. Four Il-76 Military Transport Aircraft were damaged (two units caught fire and it is difficult to say whether they can be recovered).

πŸ”ΉIn #Kaluga region, one unit was destroyed over the territory of the Sukhinichsky district, while the second hit an empty oil product tank in the Dzerzhinsky district, the resulting fire was promptly extinguished.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Bryansk region, seven aircraft-type drones were intercepted. The debris fell on the 16th building of the Kremny EL Plant, the largest manufacturer of microelectronics. The building of the Investigative Committee in the Sovetsky district was also damaged.

πŸ”ΉIn addition, air defence systems destroyed two vehicles over the territories of the #Ryazan and #Orel regions. And on the outskirts of #Moscow, electronic warfare units suppressed a drone in the Ruzsky district, having lost control, it crashed into a tree in the village of #Lukino.

πŸ”ΉThere were also reports of air defence equipment operating in the #Sevastopol Bay area, but this information was not confirmed. It is most likely that the sounds of air defence were mistaken for air strikes by the Black Sea Fleet aircraft against Ukrainian boats with sabotage groups attempting to land.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― It is not known where exactly the πŸ‘‰ Strikes on #Pskov came from⚑️

πŸ”Ή And although
one of the most obvious options seems to be that Ukrainian UAVs flew through #Belarus or were launched from the Baltic States, this is hardly the case.

β–ͺ️ Taking into account the changed dynamics of UAV strikes near #Moscow (over the last two weeks UAVs started to reach the northwestern outskirts of the capital more and more often), an overflight of #Belarus is quite possible.

β–ͺ️ Take off in Sumy region - pass through #Bryansk region (there are downed UAVs) - #Kaluga region (incident in Dzerzhinsky district) - #Moscow region (downed UAV in Ruza district) - #Tver region - and, finally, defeat #Pskov region when approaching from the southeast.

β–ͺ️ The range of a UAV like "Bobor" or "Kulon" (not to mention other types) for 1000 km is quite enough, which, alas, is confirmed by the experience of Engels in #Saratov.

❗️And when in #Crimea the means and forces of air defence have managed to adapt, time after time repelling massive strikes from Ukraine, then in continental #Russia, judging by the experience of #Pskov, things are not so good so far. The problem is not even that the drones overloaded the air defence and reached their targets. The problem is that after a year and a half of SMO the scarce expensive aircraft were without shelters.

πŸ“Œ Correctly, the author of the Empire Channel writes very angrily: β€œBuilding a metal hangar is very difficult. It’s much easier to build a new plane.” We don't have any other sad summary jokes for you.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ”Ž On Drone Attacks⚑️

πŸ”ΉAttacks by enemy drones
against our military facilities and critical transport, fuel infrastructure and energy supply companies have become systematic. Another series of strikes took place at night on 30 August, covering the territories of 7 regions of #Russia. The #Pskov, #Bryansk, #Orel, #Kaluga and #Ryazan regions, as well as #Moscow and #Sevastopol.

β–ͺ️ As a result of the strike on the military airfield in #Pskov, up to 4 Il-76 military transport aircraft were damaged. According to some reports, 2 aircraft were completely burned. The #Pskov airport was also damaged.

πŸ”ΉThe current situation highlights a number of serious problems in the defence organisation. If in the summer and autumn of 2022 we were constantly facing the threat of SRGs, which penetrated deep into our territory up to 50 km, committing sabotage at the abovementioned facilities, now the enemy has switched to the use of attack UAVs, increasing the frequency and effectiveness of attacks. The use of SRGs today has become more precise. At the same time, let us pause on the subject of SRGs and touch on it below.

πŸ”ΉThe main question that experts are now asking is the flight range of attacking UAVs. According to one version, the strikes on the #Peskov Airfield could have been carried out from the territory of #Estonia.

β–ͺ️ If the Baltic States provide their territory and airspace for strikes on Russian military facilities, it is obvious that these actions are provocative in nature. At the moment, the West is trying to calibrate and monitor the Kremlin's reaction to the "Israeli scheme" (strikes on Syria from the airspace of third countries) in order to create a precedent for confrontation with #NATO countries.

β–ͺ️ In fact, the Alliance is directly forcing us to take military retaliation, for which we are not ready at the moment.

β–ͺ️ On the other hand, an adequate response to such actions would be to "wipe off the face of the earth" all economic assets of the Baltics in #Russia (and there are many of them). The West will respond to any military measures and demonstration of force with the "Blockade of #Kaliningrad", which will inevitably aggravate the situation on the territory of #Belarus.

πŸ”ΉThe possible use of SRGs and agents by the enemy cannot be discounted either. First, the agents recruited by the GUR and SBU deliver the means of destruction to the territory of the Russian Federation, organising their laying in caches in different regions. And the perpetrators, represented by specific SRGs sent to #Russia in advance under the guise of refugees, retrieve them, assembling components and equipping them with explosives. So attempts by the enemy to launch UAVs against military facilities may well be carried out from our territory. Of course, such precedents are of a more isolated nature.

πŸ“Œ Undoubtedly, the topic is debatable and should be the subject of expert discussion. However, the following points are obvious today:

βœ… Strikes highlight the problems of echeloning our air defence system, security and defence of strategic facilities;

βœ… the West is "pumping" us for a response, provoking us to retaliate, which we should do anyway for reputational reasons;

βœ… it is necessary to take asymmetric response measures against the main strategic adversary, while increasing the frequency of hitting its infrastructure on the territory of #Ukraine.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Special Operation, 30 Aug 2023, Main; pub. 21:03⚑️

β–ͺ️ The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) and regional authorities reported drone attacks on the night of 30 August: in #Bryansk, #Pskov, #Orel, #Kaluga, #Ryazan regions, and the #Moscow region;

β–ͺ️ #Pskov Airport came under attack; the attack led to a fire where Il-76 military transport aircraft were damaged, the regional Emergencies Ministry said;

β–ͺ️ The consequences of the drone attack on the airport in #Pskov have been eliminated, there were no dead or injured, the airport will start operating tomorrow, the governor of the #Pskov region said;

β–ͺ️ Two Ukrainian drones tried to attack a TV tower in #Bryansk, the attack was stopped by air defense forces, there were no casualties, the governor said;

β–ͺ️ After an attempted massive attack by Ukrainian UAVs, Russian military experts are finding out the routes to take measures to prevent such attacks, Peskov said;

β–ͺ️ #US still does not encourage or facilitate Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory, the White House told RIA Novosti;

β–ͺ️ The RF Armed Forces have hit Ukrainian troops' command and control and intelligence centres, MoD said;

β–ͺ️ Russian bombers destroyed 6 Ukrainian boats in the Black Sea. At night MoD reported 4 boats with landing groups of up to 50 people, during the day, 2 more boats with crew;

β–ͺ️ Ukraine makes gradual progress in its counteroffensive, #US will continue arms deliveries, White House spokesman Kirby said;

β–ͺ️ The solution to the issue of security guarantees for #Ukraine will be onesided without mentioning concerns about the security of the RF Federation, their essence on the part of the #US and #France is not clear, Peskov said.

πŸ“‹πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 1 September 2023; pub. 07:01πŸ“

πŸ”ΉOn the #Zaporozhye front, the AFU attacked in the direction of the #Verbovoye settlement, with reports from the front about the destruction of several groups of well-equipped enemy. The enemy evacuation groups are covered with fire. In #Rabotino, the southern part of the settlement is controlled by the RF Armed Forces.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Vremyevka sector, there are artillery duels, the enemy is gathering forces for new attacks on our positions.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Kherson direction, the AFU replenished a small landing group of personnel near the #Antonovsky bridge, where after that an artillery strike was made. The recently formed bridgehead on our bank of the #Dnieper by the enemy near #Podstepnoye remains. Fighting continues on the islands in the #Dnieper floodplain.

πŸ”ΉOn #Artyomovsk's (#Bakhmut's) southern flank, the RF Armed Forces returned several positions under control.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Kremennaya section, enemy attacks were repelled on the #Torskoye ledge and in the #Serebryanskoye forestry.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Bryansk region, in the morning and evening, enemy UAVs were destroyed. At night, firing at aerial targets was again reported from #Pskov (on video).πŸ‘†The settlement of #Tetkino in the #Kursk region was shelled. Over the past day, 10 civilians were wounded in the #DPR from AFU shelling. In the morning, the enemy fired three incendiary shells from MLRSs and three cluster munitions at #Donetsk.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 1 September 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΉUkrainian formations
once again carried out drone attacks on Russian rear settlements: the enemy's devices were intercepted in #Pskov, in the skies above #Belgorod and the #Bryansk region, as well as on the approach to #Moscow near the city of #Lubertsy. One AFU drone still managed to reach its target, the city of #Kurchatov in the #Kursk region was attacked.

πŸ”ΉOn Knowledge Day, the enemy massively shelled the settlements of the #Donetsk agglomeration. Residential buildings and civilian infrastructure were damaged. According to the latest data, 23 civilians were injured, three people died, including a six-year-old girl.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Zaporozhye direction, Russian units left #Rabotino to prepared positions south of the village. At the same time, at the moment the AFU is concentrated on attempts to break through the Russian defence near #Verbovoye. In addition, against the background of the forced evacuation of the civilian population, there is a probability of intensified fighting in the area of #Gulyaypole.

πŸ”ΉIn the #Kherson direction, Russian troops continue to suppress the enemy's attempts to gain a foothold on the left bank of the #Dnieper. Nevertheless, the AFU succeeded in landing troops on #Alekseyevsky Island, east of the #Antonovsky Bridge, and on the #Podstepnoye - Cossack Camps line, where the enemy has maintained its presence for several days.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Front #Summary for 31 Jan 2024 by 19:15⚑️

πŸ”ΉIn
#Kherson Direction, several AFU boats were able to ferry reinforcements to #Krynki thanks to mobile electronic warfare. This is about the question of how important it is to urgently begin mass production of manual jammers.

πŸ”ΉIn #Zaporozhye Direction, it is likely that assaults to level out all the achievements of the AFU counteroffensive are not yet advisable. The fighting at the #Rabotino - #Novoprokopovka - #Verbovoye line is heavy, the positions are destroyed, there is no hiding. The nearest goal is to reach the "dragon's teeth", their line is approximately in the middle of the ledge.

πŸ”ΉIn #SouthDonetsk Direction, our forces are successfully attacking north of #Priyutnoye. They pushed the AFUback from a number of positions north of the village. In the #Maryinka sector, ours are advancing on #Novomikhaylovka from #Zverinets and southwest of the village. The advance is about 0.5km. Our army is clearly aimed at taking the village in "pincers".

πŸ”ΉIn #Donetsk Direction, in the south of #Avdeyevka, the AFU are attacking at Sobornaya and Sportivnaya streets. Our heroes are holding on and have advanced by about 300 metres over the day. Ours are attacking the Donetsk Filtration Station, and fighting is going on in the landings to the south. In the north, the AFU attacked west of #Gorlovka, possibly as a diversionary manoeuvre. So far they have occupied an abandoned building, but they don't have much strength there.

πŸ”ΉIn #Bakhmut Direction, on the northern flank of the city, there is fighting in #Bogdanovka. The AFU are resisting fiercely, because the capture of the village is strategically important for our advance towards Chasov Yar. To the south In the area of #Kleshcheyevka our forces hit 3 tanks with 3 lancets.

πŸ”ΉIn #Svatovo Direction, our army is attacking towards #Kupyansk. At #Tabayevka and #Krakhmalnoye ours are fighting their way towards #Peschanoye, #Berestovoye and towards #Kislovka. The AFU have brought up reserves and are counterattacking, trying to hold our offensive back. Further west, in #Kharkov, the AFU seems to be preparing for urban fighting, building fortifications in the vicinity.

☠️ In #Donetsk, four people were seriously wounded by cluster munitions, and another was blown up on a petal. In #Panteleymonovka, a kamikaz drone killed two. Air defence shot down a drone near the Nevsky Mazut plant in St. Petersburg. Another UAV was shot down in the #Pskov region.

πŸ’₯Tonight our Aerospace Forces hit AFU locations in #Volchansk and #Kherson, facilities in #Snigirevka, where the AFU are collecting equipment, and targets in Kriviy Rog and #Kharkov. They report the defeat of an Iris-T air defence system. There were strikes near #Kremenchuk, with repeated detonation, possibly at air defence or warehouses.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 31 January 2024⚑️

πŸ”ΉOn the night of 30 to 31, the RF Armed Forces launched a series of attacks on targets in the so-called #Ukraine. Military targets were hit in #Kharkov. In #Kremenchuk and #Pavlograd, industrial enterprises were hit, and ammunition depots came under fire in #Kirovograd and #Snegirevka.

πŸ”ΉMeanwhile, the AFU attacked the Nevsky Mazut Plant in St. Petersburg, damaging several empty tanks. Shortly before this, another UAV was intercepted in the #Pskov region. In the afternoon, two drones were neutralised by electronic warfare in the Nizhny Novgorod region. This is the first recorded case of an UAV raid in this region.

πŸ”ΉRegarding a new enemy attack on the Crimean Peninsula, our πŸ‘‰ assumptions were confirmed. After yesterday’s reconnaissance raid, the AFU still tried to launch a missile strike on Crimean targets. Thanks to the professional work of Russian antiaircraft gunners, significant damage was avoided.

πŸ”ΉIt is noteworthy that in recent days the AFU have begun to frequently use FPV drones when attacking civilian infrastructure in the #Belgorod region. This trend may indicate a possible shortage of artillery shells in the #Slobodzhansk direction, which the AFU are trying to compensate for with strike drones.

πŸ”ΉAt the same time, in the border area, representatives of Russia and Ukraine carried out another exchange of prisoners of war. 195 servicemen of the RF Armed Forces returned to their homeland. They were taken to the Russian capital for medical examination and rehabilitation. In total, in January 2024, 443 Russian soldiers were rescued from Ukrainian captivity.
