⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦☠️ Destruction of Ukrainian Su-25 Attack Aircraft near #Kherson⚡️

🗓 This Morning (25 Apr 2023)
, a Russian MANPAD system shot down a Ukrainian Su-25 in the #Kherson direction. The enemy aircraft went down near the village of #Veletenskoye, west of #Kherson near the #Borshchevka River. A large fire occurred at the site, characteristic for a downed attack aircraft.

Coordinates: 46.567211, 32.390669

The destroyed Su-25 was paired with another aircraft of similar type. They were heading towards the islands south of #Kherson, where Ukrainian formations have been trying to establish a foothold in recent days. However, after the defeat of the former, the wingman immediately left in the opposite direction.

The enemy had 32 Su-25 attack aircraft in service and another 10 in storage prior to the start of the# SMO. According to open sources, the AFU has lost about 16 aircraft of this type so far.

📌 Lately, Ukrainian Aviation activity in the area near #Kherson has increased. Ukrainian Air Force aircraft regularly take off from the airfield in #Voznesensk and #Kanatovo, and when a pair of Su-25s flew to #Kherson, a Bayraktar TB2 drone was in the air north of #Belozerka.

The Turkish-made strike drones now perform only a reconnaissance function and fly over the #Kherson region almost daily. It is possible that it was the one that provided target designation for the downed Ukrainian attack aircraft.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎯 How Russians took out a AFU Air Defence Division in an Hour⚡️

🗓 On Wednesday
we briefly mentioned a successful operation against AFU air defences. And then yesterday footage emerged of exact Lancet hits against AFU antiaircraft systems.

All targets were near #Promin village in #Nikolayev region. Apparently Russian UAV operators "caught" the division as it was deploying into positions.

▪️ The 1st launcher (PU) of the S-300 complex was completely destroyed by an explosion. The 2nd PU was damaged by shrapnel and the arrival of another drone, which hit the head end of the missile guidance system container.

Coordinates: 46.893040,32.748303

▪️ The 3rd was attempted to hit on the move, but the munitions only damaged the launch containers. The 4th PU completely burnt out after the arrival.

Coordinates: 46.925552,32.743341

▪️ The operator also pointed the Lancet at a German Gepard antiaircraft tank, the first confirmed hit on vehicles of this type. The ordnance hit the gunner's radar and guaranteed a minimum of temporary incapacitation.

Coordinates: 46.894512,32.747980

The operation resulted in 2 destroyed and 2 damaged S-300 launchers, as well as a defeated Gepard. In 1 day the Russian troops actually eliminated an entire enemy antiaircraft missile division.

Furthermore, proof of strikes against other AFU SAMs and radars emerged in the following days:

In #Zaporozhye direction, the Lancet hit an AFU Tor SAM.
In #Donetsk direction, a 36D6 radar was destroyed.
At #Snigirevka, they hit another S-300 launcher.
According to our info, on 26 Apr, the Aerospace Forces destroyed a S-300 vehicle near #Voznesensk with a X-31P missile hit.

📌 We would like to believe that this is part of the RF Armed Forces' systematic work against the AFU air defence system. After all, it is realistically capable of greatly reducing the potential of the AFU ahead of the announced offensive.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kherson Direction until the End of 5 Jun 2023⚡️

🔹 Against the background of the AFU
activation in several sections of the front, events in the #Kherson direction have fallen out of coverage. Over the past few days there has been active fighting in the Dacha area and the islands near #Kherson. Ukrainian formations occupied several houses and positions along the coastline there.

💥 The AFU is firing indiscriminately at the positions of the RF Armed Forces with large-calibre mortars and artillery. Targeting is provided by copters and Bayraktar drones from #Dolgintsevo and #Voznesensk airfields.

🔹 In the #Dnieper Basin the number of fast boats has increased. Only yesterday two landing boats were destroyed near Kruglik Island, which were trying to swoop ashore.

▪️ In addition, two small boats Metal Shark and Galaxy were delivered to #Kherson the other day along with two groups of the South Special Operations Center, which may indicate preparations for more active operations near #Kherson.

▪️ Also, units of Georgian mercenaries have been moved to the Shirokaya Balka - Kizomys line. And at the Ternovsky and Shirokiy Lan ranges the 21st and 22nd Mechanized Brigades as well as the 38th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade are still deployed. The 37th Brigade is already engaged in fighting in the #Vremyevka Sector.

📌 The diversion and stretching of Russian troops along the front is the main task of the AFU at this stage of the ongoing offensive. And local attempts to force a crossing of the #Dnieper River fit into this plan.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kherson Direction until 16:00 on 24 July 2023⚡️

🗓 In the morning
, Ukrainian SRGs in three boats again attempted to land on #Antonovsky Island, moving from the #Koshevoy River, but were detected by Russian fighters.

🔥 As a result of dense MLRS fire, one boat with six people on board was destroyed and the other two returned back to #Kherson without reaching their destination.

▪️ There were no significant changes in the other sections. The AFU has increased the intensity of shelling on Russian positions. Just a week ago there were 25-30 attacks in average, now the number has exceeded 40-45.

▪️ And they are using both barrel and rocket artillery, MLRS and mortars, as well as copters with VOGs for strikes. Guidance is provided by Bayraktar UAVs and counterbattery radars.

▪️ Tactical aviation aircraft also continue to fly from the #Voznesensk airfields, shelling areas near the rear. Su-24Ms from the #Starokonstantinov airfield equipped with Storm Shadow missiles are being used for deep strikes.

▪️ The ASPIDE anti-aircraft missile system and air target detection radar has been moved to #Muzykovka to cover them and catch Russian aircraft.

📌 And at a distance from the line of contact, US instructors are training AFU assault groups in #Galaganovka and #Limantsy. On the #Ingulets River, Ukrainian squads train to force water barriers, probably as part of a future offensive operation.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🚀 Complex AFU Missile Attack on #Crimea⚡️

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

▪️ 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.

▪️ 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.

▪️ 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).

▪️ 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.

💥 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.

📌 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.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 17 October 2023; pub. 07:00📍

▪️
At night, Geranium UAVs hit enemy facilities in #Odessa region. Explosions were recorded in #Odessa, the UAVs flew towards the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky district. Rocket attacks were made in the area of #Voznesensk in #Nikolayev region and #Slavyansk (part of the #DPR occupied by the AFU). On the #Kherson front, a FAB-1500 hit an enemy temporary deployment point near #Berislav.

▪️ On the #Zaporozhye front near #Verbovoye, the AFU threw new infantry and equipment into the battle. Late units from the 71st Brigade, the 118th Mechanized Brigade, the 82nd Separate Air Assault Brigade and a part of the 10th Army Corps. The Nazis failed to retake the occupied positions, and in addition, in the midst of the movement of AFU equipment, it began to rain, which limited the enemy's mobility.

▪️ In the #Avdeyevka sector, the RF Armed Forces are consolidating in previously occupied positions, artillerymen are firing at enemy fortifications and locking the AFU with fire in their positions, preventing rotation, the supply of personnel and ammunition.

▪️ In the #Kupyansk direction, against the background of the Russian successes in the area of #Sinkovka, the enemy command decided to transfer tank units of the AFU's 41st Mechanized Brigade to this section of the front.

▪️ Over the past day, the situation in the #Kherson direction was characterised by mutual artillery shelling. The enemy is also hitting the civilian population. Yesterday the head of the region reported that an 82-year-old woman in #Alyoshki and a 52-year-old civilian in Cossack Camps were wounded.

▪️ From #Berdyansk in #Zaporozhye region, local groups report that our air defence was working all night, with the enemy's main strike concentrated on the airport area. In #Belgorod region, 3 aircraft-type UAVs were shot down by the air defence system in Yakovlevsky city district and Belgorod district. In the #DPR, a civilian was wounded as a result of shelling by the AFU.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 17 October 2023⚡️

🔹This morning, the AFU
launched missile strikes on the #Berdyansk Airfield, using an American ATACMS ballistic missile and several GLSDB shells to attack it. Some of them were shot down by air defences, but several reached the target, hitting an ammunition depot and several Russian Aerospace Forces helicopters.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, Ukrainian formations, operating along the railway bridge, made a breakthrough and occupied the village of #Poyma on the left bank of the #Dnieper. After the arrival of reinforcements, the AFU moved on and managed to reach the northern outskirts of #Peschanovka. The fighting in the area continues.

🔹In the #Svatovo sector, Russian forces continue their positional offensive from #Ploshchanka towards #Makeyevka. The AFU is transferring fresh forces to this section and is trying to establish new crossings near #Borovaya to improve its logistical capabilities.

🔹Overnight, the RF Armed Forces launched strikes on the rear facilities of the Ukrainian formations. The AFU's deployment points in #Odessa, #Slavyansk, and presumably the airfield in #Voznesensk, were hit.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🛩 On the Russian Largescale Operation to destroy Ukrainian Aviation⚡️

🗓 Early last week
, Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoygu announced in a media interview that 24 Ukrainian aircraft had been destroyed within five days.

💬 Staff correspondents and a pool of governmental media outlets spread the information further, but military bloggers and sceptics took the information coolly. Seriously, there have been many such statements, and without providing facts it often turns into information support for the "hurrah-patriotic" audience.

❗️But the time has passed, which, by all appearances, has become the best proof that the operation did take place.

▪️ The operation was carried out with the involvement of S-400 SAMs and MiG-31BM fighters, and the targeting was carried out by the Russian A-50U AWACS aircraft in several "waves" (seven aircraft were hit on 20 October alone). We don’t know whether they were preceded by the launch of “decoys” at Ukrainian aviation airfields to simultaneously lift planes into the air, but it would be logical.

🔎 If at the beginning of October, at least 30 aircraft were active on the territory of #Ukraine by means of air defense and EW, then over the past week such one-time marks were no more than 10-12 (even adjusted for bad weather, the number decreased).

▪️ As a rule, we are talking about Su-27 and MiG-29 type aircraft based at the #Kanatovo, #Dolgintsevo, #Voznesensk, #Mirgorod, #Ozernoye airfields. Also, Su-24M bombers from the #Starokonstantinov airfield disappeared from the radar. This is due to their loss or an attempt to protect scarce aircraft from strikes is still questionable.

▪️ In addition, recently Ukrainian formations have been striking mainly with S-200 missiles and ATACMS-type missiles (out of 20 missiles received by #Ukraine, at least 9 have been used up - the air defence reported the shooting down of five missiles, another batch with a range of up to 300 km arrived in #Ukraine the day before).

▪️ Let us repeat: so far, all confirmations (due to the absence of obituaries from the AFU, which can last for months) are indirect. But, in general, the change in the AFU's approaches to fire defeat (even without taking into account the reduction of aviation activity on EW assets) is a logical consequence of such an operation.

▪️ And there have been no attacks with Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles for a long time, which may indicate the success of the operation. However, we should not rule out the possibility of elementary exhaustion of supplies and waiting for new ones.

📌 Unfortunately, the Russian Ministry of Defence did not provide any objective control personnel, so such bright victories after a year and eight months of SMO are not immediately believable.
