βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 27 May 2023⚑️

πŸ”Ή Ukrainian formations
have struck numerous civilian targets in the border and rear settlements of #Russia, including in the #Tver, #Pskov, #Bryansk, #Kursk and #Belgorod regions.

πŸ”Ή The most difficult situation has developed in the last region, where the AFU conducted a massive shelling of the Shebekinsky district throughout the day. One person was killed, three more were injured of varying severity.

πŸ”Ή Fierce fighting continued in the #Donetsk direction near #Avdeyevka. Russian assault squads conducted reconnaissance by combat in the area of @Novokalinovo, repelling subsequent enemy counterattacks.

πŸ”Ή At the same time, the Ukrainian command completed the main preparations for the offensive in the @Zaporozhye direction, concentrating significant forces on the #Orekhov, #Pologi and #Gulyaypole sections.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― AFU Attack on #Pskov Airfield⚑️

πŸ’₯ A series of explosions
and a heavy fire in the area of the airfield. Local social networks reported an UAV attack.

β–ͺ️ Preliminary, the airfield was attacked by at least ten drones, according to other sources, more than 20. Clouds of smoke are rising above the airfield. A fuel tank is on fire.

πŸ—Ί From #Pskov to the border with #Ukraine - in a straight line - more than 600 km. To the border with #Latvia, about 50 km. To the border with #Estonia, less than 30 km.

β›‘ According to emergency services, four Il-76 Military Transport Aircraft have been damaged as a result of the drone attack!

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― Wings of War on the #Pskov Airfield Attack⚑️

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ So the Khokohls can fly two dozen UAVs 664 km in a straight line through the territory of #Belarus or "in a curve" through #Smolensk with an even greater distance and arrive at the airport of #Pskov? Fascinating ...

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ However, there is a nuance - the Baltic States are much closer. And these countries are part of #NATO. Have they really decided to get so brazen?

❗️I don't even want to think about SRGs launching UAVs in such quantities from our territory.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― Kotenok on the #Pskov Airfield Attack⚑️

πŸ›° Why the enemy
chosed to attack the airfield in #Pskov. This is how it looked on recent satellite images (photo from open sources). Apparently, due to its remoteness from the border with #Ukraine, the facility was not prepared for raids by enemy drones.

πŸ“Œ Now it is important to understand how seriously the four IL-76s were damaged. For aircraft of this type, the line between damage that can be repaired and damage that can be scrapped is very shaky.

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.
