⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️(1/2) Military expert Boris Rozhin on the UAV Lull, the "Bargaining" around the #ZNPP, the Russian Army Offensive and Battle for #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut); pub. 06 Dec 2020, 21:07⚡️

♦️Geranium Blooms in Winter:

What is the reason for the pause in the use of "Geraniums" on the facilities of the AFU and the energy infrastructure of #Ukraine? Is there a climatic factor? To what extent these devices are operable in sub-zero temperatures?

There are several reasons. Deteriorating weather, the need to increase production for mass use, plus perhaps there is an accumulation of drones for mass strikes that will accompany offensives in winter.

There is no data on the rate and volume of production of these drones in #Iran and #Russia, although Iranian military transport planes continue to fly to #Moscow with enviable regularity, so there is a flow of cargo. There is no intelligible information in the public domain about the operation of the Gerans in sub-zero temperatures.

♦️#ZNPP must remain Russian:

There are rumors circulating more and more that #Zaporizhzhya NPP will either be handed over to #Ukraine or will be placed under direct management of IAEA. Is that scenario acceptable to #Russia and what impact would it have on energy supply to the "square"?

Such a scenario, of course, is unacceptable, and the implementation of something like that would be regarded as an obvious defeat for #Russia. Officially, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation clarified yesterday that nothing of the kind would happen and the sovereignty over the #ZNPP would not be given to anybody.

The maximum that #Moscow agrees to in exchange for stopping the shelling of #ZNPP by the AFU is to undertake not to place heavy weapons at #ZNPP while keeping Russian guards with light weapons at the station, with Rosatom personnel working at the station.

As #Ukraine and its sponsors are not satisfied with this, shelling of #ZNPP and #Energodar is expected to continue. Meanwhile, the #ZNPP staff was finally cleaned up - those who did not sign a contract with Rosatom were removed from the plant + tipsters from the AFU were cleaned up.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎯 Air Strike on the AFU Position in #Zaliznichnoye⚡️

Russian troops are constantly conducting reconnaissance in the area of #Gulyaypole to subsequently hit the identified enemy positions with fire. Yesterday, video emerged of another Russian Aerospace Forces strike on a target in the #Zaliznichnoye village near the town of #Gulyaypole.

Judging by the recording, the munition flew into an industrial zone in the western part of the settlement: we have repeatedly 👉 written that idle enterprises are a favourite location for Ukrainian formations.

Coordinates: 47.651031, 36.156555

In this case, it is highly probable that the Russian bomber has fired on the target with one of the modifications of the high-precision X-29 missile, which the Russian Aerospace Forces aviation is actively 👉 using in the #Zaporizhzhya direction.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary on 27 August⚡️

🔹In
#Kherson Region, the AFU attempted again to infiltrate our coast, starting with the islands southeast of #Kherson. Ours methodically knock them out, but we have a supply problem that needs to be solved.

🔹On the #Zaporizhzhya Front, the AFU, without sparing men and equipment, are trying to gain a foothold on the #Rabotino - #Verbovoye line. For #Rabotino there are battles, the AFU managed to displace us from most of the village, but our artillery and aviation strike their positions, again burned a lot of #NATO equipment. The AFU also tried to attack towards #Kopani, but ours held the lines. Attempts to gather more powerful reserves on this front indicate that Kiev will try to break through.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, there is a slight lull, it is reported that the AFU is trying to regroup, take out the wounded and bring in reserves. The AFU's target here is to attack #Staromlynovka, so the attacks will continue.

🔹In #Kupyansk Direction, the RF Armed Forces took two more strongholds in the area of #Sinkovka - #Petropavlovka. Western and Ukrainian media say that the commander of the AFU Ground Forces, Syrsky, is asking for reserves to strengthen the defence of #Kupyansk, where the Russian army has the initiative. Some reserves have already been moved to this area, but Syrsky is asking for more with the argument that the Russian army has about 110,000 troops in #Kupyansk and #Krasnyliman sections. And the West is dissatisfied, because this is at odds with the #NATO recommendations to concentrate the maximum of troops in one front section to attempt a breakthrough. Kiev is instead dividing its troops equally between the south and the east.

▪️
Geran UAVs hit targets in #Sumy, #Kharkov and #Chernigov regions this night. A military facility in #Kherson was struck overnight. Military pilots report the use of a new X-BD cruise missile with a range of 6,500 kilometres against targets in #Kupyansk and a bridge over the #Dnieper River in #Dnepropetrovsk. They report the destruction of an AFU crossing of the #Oskol River in the #Kupyansk area.

▪️ On the #Verbovoye - #Rabotino line of the #Zaporizhzhya Front the enemy again went on the attack. 7 units of its military equipment were hit, up to a company of the enemy militants have been killed and wounded. The RF Armed Forces used heavy flamethrower systems. From the field they write about the low training of the new wave of attackers, which may indicate the introduction of poorly trained reserves of the AFU into the battle.

▪️ In the #Kherson region, activity of our forces and enemy forces on the islands.

▪️ From the #Vremyevka direction they report about the withdrawal of the AFU from the outskirts of #Staromayorskoye, the abandonment of which by the RF Army was presented by enemy propaganda as a significant achievement and a sign of the AFU's imminent access to the Sea of Azov (it is 90 km away and several lines of defence). Strikes were carried out on concentrations of enemy manpower at a distance from the line o contact.

▪️ South of #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) near #Andreyevka, the RF Armed Forces are controlling the railway, despite the enemy's claims. In #Kleshcheyevka, the AFU are trying to consolidate in small groups under heavy fire from our artillery. There is heavy fighting, the enemy is pulling up reserves.

▪️ In the #Kupyansk direction, the RF Armed Forces resumed attacks in the area of #Sinkovka after destroying an enemy crossing.

▪️ During the day, enemy UAVs were shot down over the #Belgorod and #Orel regions. In the #Bryansk region, the settlement of #Suzemka was shelled, an aerial drone was shot down near the village. In #Adler near #Sochi Airport a paraffin tank caught fire for unknown reasons. Over #Melitopol in #Zaporozhye region yesterday we destroyed enemy missiles, the AFU launched 4 missiles from MLRS HIMARS in the area of #Molochansk. In the #DPR, one civilian was killed and five wounded as a result of shelling by the AFU.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the SMO #Highlights in the Territory of the Former Ukraine by 19:15 Moscow Time for 30 September 2023⚡️

🔹1.
#Zaporizhzhya Direction:
▪️ The enemy has reduced the intensity of attacks in the direction. Some brigades have been withdrawn to the rear for replenishment and re-staffing. In a number of areas the enemy went on the defensive.
▪️ We can observe the rotation and preparation of the transferred brigades for the resumption of intensive attacks in the #Orekhov section in the first two weeks of October.
📌 The main objectives are to take #Novoprokopovka and #Verbovoye and try to advance to #Tokmak.
Possible auxiliary and diversionary strikes across the #Dnieper in the area of #Zaporozhye region and Novaya Kakhovka by the forces of 3 Marine Brigades transferred to the #Zaporozhye region and withdrawn from the #Zaporozhye and #Vremyevka directions.

🔹2. #Vremyevka Ledge:
▪️ The intensity of the enemy's attacks has fallen dramatically. The enemy is rotating and re-equipping the battered units and formations.
▪️ There are preparations to resume possible attacks near #Priyutnoye and #Novomayorskoye.
In the area of #Urozhaynoye the enemy went on the defensive.
📌 Resumption of offensive actions is expected from the second week of October. The main task of the enemy is to try to break through to #Staromlynovka.

🔹3. #Artyomovsk:
▪️ The RF Armed Forces have gained a foothold in Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, the western part of the village is in the grey zone, there is virtually no enemy in the village.
▪️ The enemy is building up forces near Chasov Yar and Ray Aleksandrovka in order to launch counterattacks to retake Orekhovo-Vasilyevka.
▪️ There is an accumulation of forces on the #Seversk ledge in order to intensify actions in the direction of #Kremennaya, as well as a possible resumption of attacks in the #Soledar direction.
▪️ Fighting continues south of the city on the #Kleshcheyevka - #Andreyevka - #Kurdyumovka line. The enemy has failed to secure full control over #Andreyevka and #Kleshcheyevka.
▪️ #Andreyevka is destroyed and for the most part is in the grey zone. In #Klescheyevka the enemy controls the southern and part of the central part of the village, the rest is in the grey zone.
▪️ Attempts to break through the railway line, to which our troops have withdrawn, were bought off by timely counterattacks of the RF Armed Forces.
▪️ #Kurdyumovka remains under full control of the RF Armed Forces.
📌 Intensive fighting is expected to continue south of #Artyomovsk. Both sides have deployed additional forces there. On our side, among others, the Redut PMC, which is manned by former Wagner fighters, is operating there.

🔹4. #Svatovo - #Kupyansk:
▪️ Positional battles continue west of #Kremennaya without tangible advances. The enemy regularly attacks at the expense of transferred reserves, but without much advancement.
▪️ In fact, these attacks are rather hindering our activation in the direction of #Torskoye, #Terny and the bank of the #Seversky Donets beyond #Belogorovka.
▪️ West of #Svatovo, the RF Armed Forces continue to press the AFU in the direction of #Oskol and, in the meantime, are launching regular strikes on crossings and bridges, complicating the AFU's logistics.
▪️ In the area of #Kupyansk, fighting continues at #Sinkovka, #Dvurechnaya and #Petropavlovka. There is some advancement at #Kislovka Station.

▪️
The RF Armed Forces carried out strikes by "Geraniums" against enemy facilities overnight. Explosions were heard in #Kiev, #Nikolayev, #Izmail, Belgorod-Dnestrovskyy, #Orlovka in the #Odessa region, near which there is a ferry crossing of the #Danube, #Zhitomir, #Khmelnitsky, #Cherkassy, #Kirovograd and #Dnepropetrovsk regions.

▪️ On the #Zaporizhzhya front the AFU tried to break through between #Rabotino and #Novoprokopovka with the forces of up to one motorized infantry platoon. One armoured vehicle was destroyed, the enemy infantry was dispersed by artillery fire. Between #Rabotino and #Kopani the enemy tried to break through the defence of our troops in several waves, heavy fighting is going on.

▪️ In the #Kherson direction, the AFU are holding, at the cost of constant losses, narrow sections of the coastal strip near the #Antonovsky and Railway bridges (our heavy flamethrower systems and aviation are constantly working on them), as well as on #Kazatsky Island against Novaya Kakhovka. Two Marine brigades transferred to the region are being replenished with personnel, and they report the presence of a significant number of pontoon crossings in the region (previously supplied from #Germany). The enemy is hatching plans to rush to occupy the islands and push through the defence of the RF Armed Forces with "meat assaults", trying to cut off our troops in the southwestern part of the region along the Novaya Kakhovka - #Perekop line.

▪️ From the southern flank of #Artyomovsk they report heavy fighting near #Andreyevka: the enemy threw up to one battalion of infantry into the battle, supported by artillery. Our troops are holding defence near the railway, meeting the enemy with fire from aviation, artillery and kamikaze UAVs.

▪️ At night, #Sevastopol repelled an attack by two MPAC (Multipurpose Assault Craft). Earlier the same one was destroyed by aviation in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. In the #Belgorod region, 6 enemy UAVs were shot down, during the day several settlements in the Shebekinsky district were shelled, and a UAV was shot down over the Grayvoron municipal district. Drones were also shot down over the #Kursk and #Bryansk regions. In the #DPR, three civilians were killed and nine wounded by Nazi fire.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 7 Oct 2023 by 20:06⚡️

🔹In
#Zaporizhzhya Direction, the AFU have increased their movement. AFVs are seen more and more often near the frontline, and it is likely that they will try to break through again. Our forces respond with air bombs and artillery strikes on the western outskirts of #Rabotino. In the afternoon, the AFU again tried to attack northwest of #Verbovoye and near #Novoprokopovka. Ours repulsed the attacks.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, the AFU try to be active near #Priyutnoye. However, they did not allow a Russian SRG to pass and took a prisoner. In #Novodonetskoye there are fights for the forest belts, rather positional. Both sides hold firmly their positions. In the #Ugledar section, near #Nikolskoye, the AFU attacked with up to a platoon of infantry supported by 2 armoured vehicles. Our forces destroyed one of the vehicles with artillery, and part of the group returned to their initial lines.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, on the southern flank of the city the AFU is no longer advancing. Our forces still manages to hold the railway line at #Andreyevka - #Klescheyevka. The AFU tried to attack near #Ozaryanovka, but our forces confidently repelled the attempted assault.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, in #KrasnyLiman sector, the Russian Army made some more progress near #Makeyevka in the direction of #Borovaya. In other parts, there is no advance, but a massive arrival of AFU reserves to the #Serebryanskpye forest is noted. Equipment and troops are actively moving along the crossings from the direction of #Grigoriyevka and #Serebryanka. In the #Kupyansk sector, our forces yesterday broke through the AFU defence near #Yagodnoye and managed to advance by about 1 km. In the #Petropavlovka area, about 2 km. Both according to local estimates. #Sinkovka is conventionally divided in half between the opposing armies and heavy fighting is taking place there, but the initiative is on our side.
