⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Consequences of the Shelling of the #Vinnitsa 750kV Substation - Analysis of Satellite Imagery by @Rybar, publ. 20:53 on 8 Nov⚡️

💥 Russian forces continue their systematic shelling of Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

We have repeatedly provided our analytical notes and observations on the results of the shelling from open sources. However, there is no information on some of the facilities that were likely the target of the Russian strikes. Therefore, we have decided to use images from Maxar. If the enemy uses them to analyse the consequences of the shelling, why can't we do so?

🔎 The infographic shows an analysis of the Vinnitsa 750kV substation image from 1 November 2022.

▪️ Two impact craters are recorded on the outermost autotransformer with evidence of damage to the current leads to it and, presumably, signs of burning oil around it.

▪️ Another autotransformer damaged. The structure is lined with sandbags.

▪️ All of the most valuable equipment has been surrounded by fire and shatterproof shields, which will definitely reduce the effect of subsequent strikes.

▪️ For reasons unknown to us, one bypass reactor is missing (it used to be in the pictures).

🩸 From what we have seen, we can conclude that the substation has sustained some damage, but its functionality is probably intact. Further strikes are required to disable the remaining 750/330 kV autotransformer group.

Situation near Kherson: The view through the eyes of Ukrainian military analysts

▪️Russian command today withdrew from Kherson a number of units from the 76th Airborne Assault Division, 106th Airborne Division and the 22nd Army Corps (Crimea). The nature of the RF Armed Forces' actions suggests that a systematic retreat from the Kherson bridgehead is under way, relying on several defensive lines to retreat from line to line while maintaining combat order and control.
▪️The retreat of Russian troops will take a few days but will not be quick - there are several thousand pieces of combat equipment and weapons on the right bank.
▪️ The aim is to keep the troops combat-ready.
▪️This is why the front line has been heavily mined, cover units deployed.
▪️The Russian command intends to preserve the maximum amount of military equipment and prevent the bridgehead from collapsing under the attacks of the Ukrainian armed forces, which would result in heavy losses and loss of combat effectiveness of the best Russian units.
▪️The Russian airborne troops—combat groups of all 4 divisions and all 4 airborne brigades, units of the 22nd Army Corps and the 49th Combined Arms Army—are concentrated on the Kherson bridgehead.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 9 Nov 2022⚡️

🩸 The Russian command has announced the withdrawal of the Russian Armed Forces to the left bank of #Dnipro River in #Kherson Region, where a new defence line will be established.

The official reason cited was the difficulties in supplying the grouping on the right bank of the river and the need to maintain the combat capability of Russian troops in this area.

▪️ In addition, the deputy head of #Kherson Region, Kyrylo Stremousov, was killed in a traffic accident near #Genichesk.

#Kursk Region:

▪️ Enemy militants shelled the village of #Guevo in #Suzhan district. There were no casualties in the incident, several residential buildings were damaged.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by the US Troll Entity "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

⚠️ What annoys me most is that the trolls have predicted the Russian withdrawal from the Dnipro bridgehead, which I did not think possible for political reasons (I will comment on this separately). Otherwise ISW forecasts are rather pathetic and inspired by wishful thinking, such as Kupyansk being conquered within 3 days. It took weeks for the Russians to withdraw.

November 9 Key Takeaways🔻

▪️ The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) ordered Russian forces on the west (right) bank of the Dnipro River to begin withdrawing to the east (left) bank on November 9.

▪️ The battle of Kherson is not inherently over, but Russian forces have entered a new phase— prioritizing withdrawing their forces across the river in good order and delaying Ukrainian forces, rather than seeking to halt the Ukrainian counteroffensive entirely.

▪️ Many prominent voices in the Russian milblogger space sided with Surovikin and lauded the decision as a necessary one, indicating that Russian leadership has learned from the information effects of the disastrous Russian withdrawal from Kharkiv Oblast in mid-September.

▪️ Russian National Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev met with senior Iranian officials in Tehran on November 9, likely to discuss the sale of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia and other forms of cooperation.

▪️ Russian and Ukrainian sources reported continued fighting along the Svatove-Kremmina highway and Bilohorivka, Luhansk Oblast.

▪️ Ukrainian forces made territorial gains northeast of Kherson City and continued their successful interdiction campaign.

▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations around Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and in western Donetsk Oblast.

▪️ Russian federal subjects are struggling to pay mobilized personnel, and the Russian military is struggling to provision them.

▪️ Relatives of mobilized personnel continue to protest lack of payment and poor conditions.

▪️ Russian occupation deputy head of Kherson Oblast Kirill Stremousov was killed in a claimed car accident in rear Kherson Oblast the day Russian forces announced their withdrawal from the west bank of Kherson Oblast.

▪️ Occupation authorities in rear areas are likely increasing law enforcement crackdowns and filtration measures amid fears of Ukrainian counteroffensives after the November 9 withdrawal announcement.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 14:00 on 10 Nov 2022⚡️

#Bakhmut Area:

▪️ The Wagner PMC assault troops continue to storm Ukrainian positions in the southeastern part of #Bakhmut and in the #Kurdyumovka area. The "Wagnerians" have advanced towards #Andreevka and #Kleshcheevka.

▪️ #Bakhmutskoye has been completely cleared out, and Russian troops are close to #Soledar. Heavy fighting is also taking place for the village of #Belogorovka, where half of the settlement is currently under the control of the musicians.

▪️ To deter the Russian offensive, AFU artillery crews are shelling the areas of #Ivangrad, #Zaitsevo and #Mayorsk. Reinforcements were moved to the contact line to reinforce the 53rd and 54th Mechanized Brigades of the AFU.

▪️ Due to significant losses in personnel and equipment, the command of the Operation Task Group Soledar plans to withdraw the 93rd Mechanized Brigade from the #Podgorodnoye - #Soledar - #Yakovlevka line for restoration, starting on 16 November

▪️ In addition, preparations are underway for a partial withdrawal of personnel of the 30th AFU Mechanized Brigade from the vicinity of #Bakhmut. The positional defence areas of the two Ukrainian formations will be handed over to separate units of the 24th Mechanized Brigade.

#Lysychansk Sector:

▪️ Fighting for (another) #Belogorovka continues. To reinforce the positions, 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade and armoured vehicles of the 81st Airmobile Brigade of the AFU have been moved to the #Serebryanka- #Belogorovka line

In Ukraine, they do not believe that Russian troops are leaving Kherson.

The “do not believe” marathon continues on the Ukrainian side:
“Some people think that they are very cunning… But we are one step ahead,” writes Andriy Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. "It's a staged show." The Ukrainian command commented on Russia's withdrawal from Kherson.
The statements of the Russian command about the withdrawal from Kherson can be a “staged show”, and it’s too early to talk about the capture of Kherson, said Natalya Gumenyuk, spokesman for the Operational Command “South”.
Gumenyuk called the announcement of the withdrawal of troops from Kherson an attempt by the Russian leadership to "save face" and noted that this was not the first time this had happened. “What is now being announced [about the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson] is an attempt to create a certain impression that the lives of soldiers will be saved, that the civilian population will be saved – and another demonization of the armed forces of Ukraine,” Gumenyuk said.
According to her, a real military operation requires a regime of information silence, and “a staged show with the announcement of such serious and difficult decisions is a long-understood method of justifying oneself.”
At the same time, as Gumenyuk notes, the defense lines near Kherson have been created, and regular Russian troops are on the ground and are ready to defend.
The statement of the Russian command, according to Gumenyuk, may be "an element of an information-psychological operation in order to create an erroneous impression of true intentions." https://t.me/ukraina_ru/114906

Withdrawing from Kherson:

Pros -
1. You’re not dealing with supply issues of relying on pontoons and bridges that are being targeted every other day
2. The manpower needed to defend the Dnieper river will be much less than to defend Kherson
3. You free up assets for an attack in the Donbas
4. You secure a flank with the Dnieper river as your barrier
5. Narrowing the frontline, which favors the side with less manpower and more artillery (Added)
6. Prevents the destruction of Kherson city if the Ukrainians were to succeed in an offensive (Added)
7. Prolongs the stalemate situation until the Russian mobilized arrive (Added)

Cons -
1. Major political defeat, losing a capitol city of one of the new territories
2. Ukrainians now free up forces to be used in the Donbas
3. Ukraine secures their flank
4. You lose a strategic bridgehead across the Dneiper that won’t be easy to get back
5. Potential of increased support from the West in aid and equipment (Added)
6. Ranged systems like HIMARS can now potentially strike targets in Crimea (Added)
7. Potential threat of internal unrest (Added)
8. International perspective of Russia may be altered (Added)
9. Ukrainian war crimes, war crimes propaganda by the Ukrainians, on remaining civilians that refused to evacuate (Added)
10. Morale boost to Ukrainians, decreased morale on the Russian side (Added)
