Russian special military operation in Ukraine #40

@kvs - sorry got OT but I cannot help it

ICC prosecutor Karim Khan is bro of British tory pedophile (sentenced) . Must be in his genes there is attraction to kids...

His court case heard that he displayed a "significant degree of brutality" in the lead-up to the assault at a house in Staffordshire, as he dragged his victim upstairs and threw him on to a bed, forcing the then teenager to drink gin and tonic and asking him to watch pornography.

Very good points made from 17:50-20:45

Russian army is far smaller than the soviet, yet Nato can't do shit still because what matters is nuks.

But SU/Russia dismantled its land army because it thought the US would not waltz over its red lines because you know, its the nuclear era. The nuclear era has made big land wars obsolete. Turns out none of this was true. Because the US was willing to waltz over red lines. And here we are now.

Russia needed to restructure its empire anyway. So it cant necessarily be viewed as a big mistake to restructure the military. But now they have to build it up again.

Russia also thought that the US wouldn't build armies of suicidal retards on the outside and shuttle them into the war zone at infinitum. This is why they they were only holding Kharkov with checkpoints. Because attacking these lines with Nato built armies is another violation of Russia's red lines. The Ukraine counter attacks are another violation of the nuclear era. And its nukes that are obsolete more than anything else. Unless Russia starts testing them maybe.

This is a good parody channel that someone started up. The Moon. It was just set up days ago. Give it a sub. They are starting from rock bottom

Where ? Certainly not in Russia. We are in Ukraine and US still not fighting because it fears the nuks.

As long as they have a good number of troops, technological advance and nuks they can't loose. In ukraine what thry really need is modern precision guided stuff and drones, not 2 million men for human wave tactics (something Ukros are doing and still loosing).

An army that can fight on a 3000km front is just useless. There isn't even an opponent that can be that big to need such army. Nato won't be dealt woth regular troops but strategical aviation.

For your second point, it is just dumb. The ukro war is happening because Russia is against imperialism and empires. Why would they create their own and march on people that share nothing with them and hates them ? Just build a fence and bomb them if they threaten you. If they don't threaten you just do nothing.

Some Poles got messed up real bad. And deserved every bit of it.

So Putin went to the Donbass.

I hope they don't bring their EU values with them - gay parades, drag queen, drug addiction, teenage pregnancy etc.

This forum was supposed to be a voice of pro Russia people, instead we find vile, disgusting anti Russian voices like RTN, Sujoy and Vann. Putin kicked out a lot of these anti Russia crowd outside Russia, about time forum moderators do the same with the anti Russian crowd on this forum.

I saw photo of Russian troops going into mud , with fancy fabric ( stitched ) hiking Boots ! Why not allow them to wear Wellington Boots ? Cheap to make ? Then they could give those Polaks the welly ! Looks like they already did , with bullet to the brain ! Also a condition for state visit by Russia to a country , that is part of ICC , should be that they withdraw from it . Otherwise no state visit or fat contracts , simpler than sending Putin lookalike . The Aristocracy , in which  the Judiciary is a part , are derived from a class that educate their children in private same sex  Boarding- schools , until age 18 . Where homosexuality and paedophilia is ( house of ) commons , like Prisons .

Edit : Reply to GarryB , later post .

GarryB wrote " Proper boots should put up with all sorts of conditions and situations and support your feet in mud and gravel and rocks and ice. Gumboots might keep your feet dry but they are not good for support or climbing or moving over uneven ground carrying a backpack and equipment. " Overboots can be worn by troops in trenches , there are cheap military versions . Seeing that troops spend 99% of time in wet trenches , they can quickly remove these before any action .

Iltasanomat, part of the largest Finnish media group Sanoma, wrote yesterday that president Putin is now so desparate because of the huge Russian losses he has ordered museum tanks to be taken to the front. 85% of Finns are believing this

GarryB wrote:the Lancet was under manual control and was going to hit the centre body of the target but the crosshair kept moving upwards to hit the launch tubes of the rockets which all exploded when the Lancets warhead set them all off

Rockets are not supposed to explode this way when hit. There are safety measures in place. Extremely poor quality rocket.

@GeromanAT
According to the Military Chronicle, two armored groups of the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, units of the 106th and 129th Territorial Defense Brigades are trying to probe the defenses of the RF Armed Forces south of Orekhov, between Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka.

Are there two different types of Scramjet engines that have been designed to power the Kinzhal and Zircon respectively? If yes, does each of these engines have a nomenclature?

Setting a good example for other World leaders

Khinzhal is rocket powered, not scramjet. Put simply, its a heavily modified air-launched Iskander.

Zircon is a legitimate scramjet, but IMHO there is no reliable info yet on the true nature of its engine design, just conjecture.

War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 18 Mar 2023; pub. 00:05:zap:

After an extremely successful overnight session of "geraning", the Russian army continues to work its way behind enemy lines. There have been strikes on a mercenary base in #Zaporozhye. Members of the "Foreign Legion" lived in a restaurant complex, where they eventually met with a buffet in the form of Russian shells. There were also strikes on AFU positions in #Kramatorsk and #Konstantinovka.

Situation on the Fronts for the past Day

#Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector:

Wagner PMC fighters continue to advance in the direction of #Grigorovka.
In #Artyomovsk, our forces have taken control of most of the territory of the AZOM plant. The "orchestrators" have also advanced in the south of the city and gained a foothold on the left bank of the Bakhmutka River in the area of the central market.
Nevertheless, despite our successes in #Artyomovsk, the AFU are concentrating forces for a possible attempt to unblock the city.

#Donetsk Direction:

The Russian army continues to advance in the #Avdeyevka sector, attempting to encircle the city. This is aided by the Russian Aerospace Forces, which are carrying out precise strikes against enemy targets. The militants are suffering heavy losses, which they are not ashamed to talk about.
Furthermore, the RF Armed Forces continue their offensive in #Pervomayskoye.

#SouthDonetsk Direction:

The RF Armed Forces attack in #Maryinka.
#Ugledar is now firmly associated with Russian marines from the 155th Pacific Fleet Brigade, whom the Ukrainian militants can only "bury" by word of mouth. In fact, the fighters are knocking out the Nazis from their strongholds around the fortified city of #Ugledar.

Yesterday, tanks for the Armed Forces of Ukraine ended up in fuel and lubricants, as we immediately assumed.
This was indirectly confirmed by officials, while all telegram channels were forbidden to publish any information. Threatened with criminal articles from the SBU.

By the way, the source told us an excellent scheme, how in such cases they write off a lot of things (in this case, the loss in fuel will actually be, for example, 100 tons, and they will write off 140, of which 40 will be merged and sold on the black market), and then they shove it in their own pockets.

Corruption in Ukraine during the war only intensified.

Situation in Artemovsk Region: Morning of 19/03/2023

In the Krasnoye Area, positional battles take place. The AFU have priotized their counterattacks and probing of defenses within this sector with little successes. PMC Wagner were able to expand zone of control nearby to the Canal in the Stupochky Region.

In the South Artemovsk Area, PMC Wagner are continually sweeping up the micro-district adjacent to Mariupolska St. PMC Wagner are fighting within the area of the now destroyed MIG-17 Statue, and Bakhmut Industrial College. The AFU are preparing for defenses within the fields in the Chasiv Yar area.

In the AZOMPROM Facility, PMC Wagner have been able to penetrate through the facility in the direction of the Artemovsk Railway. The encirclement ring within the facility is now only 1km.

In the Market area, PMC Wagner are approaching the 'Avangard' Stadium.

"Production of ammunition for Ukraine and their deliveries are delayed due to a shortage of explosives in the European Union - The Financial Times

European efforts to produce weapons for Ukraine are hampered by a shortage of explosives, which industrialists fear will delay the ramp-up of shell production by as much as three years.

Shortages in gunpowder, plastic explosives and TNT have left the industry unable to quickly meet expected EU orders for Ukraine, no matter how much money is thrown at the problem, officials and manufacturers said. There is an urgent need for shells, both to replenish the national arsenals and to maintain supplies to the Ukrainian forces.

But manufacturers, industry leaders and EU officials warn that the increase in demand can only lead to higher prices, which have already jumped by a fifth over the past year."

---------

" The lack of explosives delays the production of shells for Ukraine by the European defense industry, – FT

Limited supplies of substances such as gunpowder, TNT and nitrocellulose do not allow a rapid increase in the production of artillery ammunition. According to the interlocutors of the publication, in Europe there are no large manufacturers of the necessary explosives, so the increase in production may take about three years.

Do we believe?"

"On March 9th, Russia, for the first time in the war, targeted a joint NATO-Ukranian operating room using a hypersonic missile, the Kinzhal K47M2.
There were two stories about this, one that it was an AD operating room. The other was it was involved in cross-border terrorism.

Whatever is the explanation reason for the attack, the Russians do not use Kinzhal on low value targets. And the Ukrainians fear it enough that they activate their sirens just when they receive reports of jets carrying the missile taking off.

Both sides confirmed the use of the missile.
The bunkers around Ukraine are sunk deep into the ground, with the command bunker said to be 80 meters deep. Thus Kinzhal is among the only conventional ways Russia can use to destroy bunkers at standoff range.

Earlier in the year, I repeated a condensed version of SMO 2, involving decapitation strikes, strikes on ISR and more. This hasn't happened simultaneously, but we have now seen piecemeal attacks on everything except satellites.

The "peaceful" takedown of the MQ-9 has forced the US to fly RQ-4 drones well away from Crimea, greatly reducing the value of the intelligence they obtain. They also fly within a tight civilian corridor.
Though it cheekily ventured out for a short time to collect better data.

Russia has most of the information it needs on NATO's responses to almost all the different kind of attacks it will have to start SMO 2.
This is not optional, even if Ukraine runs out of men and ammunition it will transform into a nuclear terrorism NATO HQ.

One thing remains.

Satellites.

I've received reports that the NATO has begun manoeuvring their highest tier ISRs into unpredictable orbits. This is a time limited tactic that consumes precious fuel (delta-v budget) and greatly decreases the operational lifetime of these assets.

The US and UK would not do this if they didn't believe these satellites were in any danger. It's not something you can do more than once, as when the delta-v budget runs out, the satellite will need to be brought into a graveyard orbit.
This suggests one of two things:

1. This is a last ditched effort, acting on good intel on Russian intentions, to buy more time to run the war under the threshold of nuclear war, before that eventuality.
2. The same premise as #1, but with the added intent of pulling out of Ukraine without taking the added loss.

We are getting closer:

As Russia captures bunkers and mineshafts in Bakhmut that are 300 meters or deeper, NATO understands the battle in Bakhmut has been decided and prolonging it further will simply feed in more Ukrop casualties in the Russian meat grinder...

Russia has begun to escalate vertically/horziontally out of the Ukraine theatre.
First with deep underground bunker busting missile attacks against NATO inside Ukraine.
Second by downing ISR drones in the black sea.
And perhaps soon with anti-satellite attacks.

NATO must decide:

1. Continue this insane war as planned, and give up the initiative of vertical and perhaps further horizontal escalation to Russia.
2. Jump in with more terrorism (like the Kerch bridge bombing) in the hope of making Russia blink.
3. Escalate into direct confrontation.
4. Fold.

Whatever NATO decides, Russia has decided to win at any cost and it may just have China's backing behind it, ensuring it will not only win the war but also win the peace afterwards. Even should a nuclear war break out.

/End"
