Russian special military operation in Ukraine #49

Backman wrote:Not sure what this is. Real bridges across the Dniper?

Hard to believe that a fireball that size was just a bridge. If it was it was a very big munition.

It was baby milk formula powder delivered by Caritas.
Always explodes this way, we saw that in Syria already.
Russkie monsters were notorious for bombing baby milk stocks.

UAVs "Geran" hit targets in the Sumy, Kharkov and Chernigov regions this night. Strikes were carried out on a military facility in Kherson within 24 hours.

Military pilots report the use of a new X-BD cruise missile with a range of 6500 km at targets in Kupyansk and the bridge over the Dnieper in Dnepropetrovsk. They report the destruction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' crossing across the river Oskol in the Kupyansk direction.

At the Verbovoe-Rabotino line of the Zaporozhye Front, the enemy again went on the attack: 7 units of its military equipment were knocked out, up to a company of enemy personnel were killed and wounded. The Russian Armed Forces used heavy flamethrower systems. From the ground they write about the low training of the new attacking wave, which may indicate the introduction of poorly trained reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into battle.

In the Kherson region - the activity of our forces and enemy forces on the islands. The Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at the village Cairy, 9 civilians injured, 1 killed (84 years old).

From the Vremevsky direction they report the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the outskirts of Staromayorsky, the abandonment of which by the Russian Army was presented by enemy propaganda as a significant achievement and a sign of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s imminent access to the Sea of Azov (90 km away and several lines of defense). Strikes were carried out against concentrations of enemy manpower at a distance from the the front line.

South of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) near Andreevka, the Russian Armed Forces control the railway, despite the enemy’s statements. In Kleshcheevka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to gain a foothold in small groups under heavy fire from our artillery. Heavy fighting is underway, the enemy is drawing up reserves.

In the Kupyansk direction, the Russian Armed Forces resumed attacks in the Sinkovka area after the destruction of the enemy crossing.

Enemy UAVs were shot down over the Belgorod and Oryol regions within 24 hours. In the Bryansk region, Suzmeika village was shelled, an aircraft-type drone was shot down near the village. In Adler, near Sochi airport, a kerosene tank caught fire for unknown reasons. Enemy missiles were destroyed yesterday over Melitopol in the Zaporozhye region; Ukrainian Armed Forces launched 4 missiles from the HIMARS MLRS at Molochansk. In the DPR, one civilian was killed and five were wounded as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Norway to transfer about 50 tracked trucks NM199 to Ukraine

This was announced by the country's Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gramm. The NM199s can transport ammunition and food in off-road conditions where wheeled vehicles cannot cope.

With the arrival of fall, the rainy season will begin in Ukraine, and the roads there will simply not exist, they will be washed away. According to the Norwegians, the supplied trucks will help the AFU in these conditions. But our fighters may also need these trucks when they become trophies.

Kyiv rejected a delivery of Leopard tanks from Germany after discovering that they were defective.

Ten Leopard 1 tanks, the predecessor to the more sophisticated Leopard 2, required maintenance that Kyiv could not perform because of a lack of trained engineers, Germany’s Der Spiegel reported. As a result, Kyiv said, it had no use for them.

Some Of Ukraine’s Leopard 1A5 Tanks Arrived Broken

The German-made, 1980s-vintage Leopard 1A5 with its precise day-night optics and stabilized 105-millimeter main gun is an excellent long-range shooter—and highly mobile.

What it isn’t, is heavily protected. Its steel armor is just 70 millimeters thick at its thickest. That’s a tenth the protection that the 2000s-vintage Leopard 2A6 enjoys.

Chochol shashliks will grill even faster with the new tanks.

It has nothing to do with "west", but how some people are determined to deny obvious things, even if those bite them straight in ass.
But whatever

Edit : this is what a UN assembly looked like while Cocainsky was making his delusions.

Those are 60km from the frontline because Ukrs seems to be incapable of doing better anymore.
Strikes on fuel storage were quite consistent for a while.
It is a fan song.

After increasing its military ties with NK and Iran, why is Russia not doing the same with Venezuela and Cuba in response to Nato crossing red lines in Ukraine? If Putin does not want to risk too much in Latin American countries, then at least he could start at a small scale to at least spook the Americans and display their hypocrisy with reciprocal actions.

And what in detail Nicaragua and Kuba can share for the Russian struggle at the moment?

It might distract parts of Washington's focus away from Ukraine, even if Russia armed countries like Venezuela only at a small level or shared military technology. I remember how Western media already panicked, when a bunch of Iranian ships visited South America.

They offer Russia the opportunity to cross the US's red lines in kind. Which would be used as a bargaining chip vs Ukraine. They could offer Cuba an S-400. Or an Iskander fleet

The level of your delusions is above my comprehension, so in some cases, there is really no shared space for discussion.
All the mentioned countries won't stand a week under Murican direct attack.
Way too weak, in all dimensions.
Mental&spiritual, to begin with.
You are yapping for what? Russia to unleash a war, on US doorsteps, using a cannon fodder who "maniana" is a life credo?
Seriously?
How old are you?
Have any of you ever seen anything 500km away from your address?
What would they do with those Iskanders and S-400?
Checked the Globus?
What a <500 km systems can do with the US?
Other than being sold by bribed officials?
The case when Russia can have - relatively safe - GLONASS infrastructure there is already a win.
US sabotage teams can blow it to pieces in a day after decision will be made.
Grow up, finally.

Now more serious, seems that ukro army spokesperson (?) has been broken ...



It might be considered as a serious blow to the mutant wars...

Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to launch missile attacks on Crimea and Sevastopol.

Authorities on the peninsula report that all targets have been successfully intercepted.

According to the received information, 11 Su-24M bombers took off from the Starokonstantinov military airfield, including five carrying British Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles.

Around noon, nine bombers separated from the group and remained in the Odessa and Nikolaev regions. At the same time, eight cruise missiles were launched towards Crimea.

Reconnaissance from the "Medvedi" private military company (PMC) also reports that two Ukrainian Su-24M aircraft flew at extremely low altitudes over the Black Sea, launching three AGM-160 MALD decoy missiles to divert the attention of our air defense systems.

Five enemy missiles were intercepted over Cape Tarkhankut and Belbek airfield. Three Storm Shadow missiles fell in the area of Verkhnesadovoe — the likely target was a former military facility near the village.

Kruschev dealt with sane people.
Humans.
Now you deal with fukin' reptilians - it is only a half of a joke.
Murican elites are insane. As simple as that.
Putin made them sober for a moment, saying clearly that the missiles were targeted at any single vault they had built.
Lasted for some 5+ years, but they obviously dug deeper.
We need a bigger missiles.
