⚡️ Russia has changed the tactics of using drones in the last 2-3 weeks - Yevlash

"We see that the tactics have changed somewhat. They have recently significantly reduced the number of Shahed attack drones, as they did until, for example, two or three weeks ago. Now the enemy has activated reconnaissance drones to adjust their missile strikes," he said.

Yevlash also added that during missile attacks, the Russian occupiers try to adjust the fire with the help of drones.

He added that the analysis of the situation is ongoing, the Ukrainian side is monitoring the use of reconnaissance UAVs, as they are smaller and more difficult to detect. However, as Yevlash noted, if possible, the Air Force also destroys them with air defense means

In the Mariinsky direction, life has taught the Podars something - they no longer carry out assaults with the use of armor. Instead, in the last 3-4 days in the direction of Georgiivka, they conduct something like combat reconnaissance, advancing on golf carts, but they work well with FPV drones, then finish off with drops. Basically, all efforts are directed towards Pobeda.

https://t.me/officer_alex33/2726



It is noticeable how the podars are very afraid of our FPV drones, their tactics of combat are changing accordingly. Don't laugh at golfers and bikers, they use it much more often, because they are more maneuverable than any armor, more chances to escape from drones and it sometimes works, because they often use the suddenness factor - we sometimes don't have time to react.

In some areas, tanks and BBMs should be withdrawn 10-15 km from the front line, the only exceptions are tanks with tsar-magnals, but there are not many of them, because 1-2 units are used for a breakthrough.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicle of a special military operation
for May 3, 2024

Russian forces continue to carry out targeted attacks on the production facilities and infrastructure of Ukrainian formations. Enemy facilities and deployment points were hit in several areas of the so-called. Ukraine.

The advance of the RF Armed Forces is recorded in the Kotlyarovka-Kislovka section, where in the latter the Russian forces managed to reach the outskirts, and the enemy, according to some sources, is withdrawing forces from the populated area.

In the Bakhmut direction there are battles in the vicinity of Chasov Yar. The Russian Armed Forces are tightening their flanks and expanding the control zone in the Stupki-Golubovskie-2 nature reserve.

To the north of Avdeevka, in the direction of the same name, the Russian Armed Forces were able to make significant progress in the area of ​​Novokalinovo and Ocheretino.

In the Ugledar direction, Russian forces, after consolidating in Novomikhailovka and the surrounding area, undertook reconnaissance in force in the direction of Paraskovievka.


https://t.me/rybar/59753





🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ugledar direction: battles west of Novomikhailovka
situation at 10:00 May 4, 2024

After the capture of Novomikhailovka and a short operational pause, the Russian Armed Forces resumed local offensive operations in the vicinity of the settlement.

▪️Frames appeared on the Internet showing several attacks by the Russian Armed Forces with small armored groups. To the west of the Mashinostroitel gardening partnership, an attempt to advance appears to have been unsuccessful. However, the very fact of a local attack confirms not only complete control over the gardening partnership, but also at least the absence of the enemy in the forest belt to the north.

▪️To the south, to the west of the Veliko-Tarama gully, Russian forces also attempted to storm Ukrainian positions in the forest belt. The enemy is partially knocked out.

▪️At the same time, strikes continue against various targets in Paraskovievka and rear settlements. The practice of using Lancets against relatively small targets (for example, individual mortars) has not stopped, which obviously affects the enemy’s defensive capabilities.


https://t.me/rybar/59763



❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle of Chasov Yar: flank attacks by the Russian Armed Forces and access to the canal
situation as of 11.00 May 4, 2024

In the vicinity of Chasov Yar, offensive actions by the Russian Armed Forces continue.

🔻On the northern flank, taking into account the enemy’s control over Grigorovka and Kalinovka, it is not yet possible to advance, including due to enemy counterattacks.

🔻In the central area, after reaching the eastern outskirts of the Kanal microdistrict, the Russian Armed Forces started fighting for the territory of school 77, but apparently they failed to break through into the development.

Based on the footage of objective control with strikes with 240-mm adjustable mines “Smelchak” on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, one of the obstacles was a high-rise building on the corner of Zelenaya and Gorbatogo streets, which overlooks the field and the private sector on the outskirts of the village. The building is also notable for the fact that after the arrival of several FABs at UMPC, they remained not only suitable for defense, but also relatively intact, having lost only one of the entrances.

▪️However, storming the Channel head-on is obviously not the task of the Russian Armed Forces. In fact, after reconnaissance in force, Russian troops moved on to pulling up the flanks with the goal of taking the microdistrict into semi-environment.

🔻The situation is different further south in the Ivanovsky (Krasny) area.

▪️The Russian Armed Forces have advanced at least along the southern part of the Stupki-Golubovskie-2 reserve to the bed of the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal. According to some reports, the reserve came under the control of Russian forces almost completely, which is indirectly confirmed by movements in the lowlands (this would not be very convenient if the enemy was present in the higher northern part of the reserve).

▪️At the same time, the situation to the west of Ivanovsky is hidden by the “fog of war.” Previously, information appeared about the advance of Russian units in the Stupki tract to the canal, but no objective control footage appeared from this area for a relatively long time. The presence of one side or the other east of the canal in the plantings along the T-0504 (H-32) highway also remains controversial.

🔻To the southeast between Ivanovsky and Kleshcheevka, the advance of the Russian Armed Forces is recorded. Based on the footage published by the enemy, the forest belt on the western outskirts of the former Artemovsk airfield up to the forest north of Kleshcheevka came under the control of Russian troops.

At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces attempted to further advance, at a minimum knocking out the Ukrainian formations from the next landing.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported the destruction of four ATACMS missiles in the Crimea
They were shot down by air defense systems


MOSCOW, May 4. /TASS/
Russian air defense systems shot down four American ATACMS operational-tactical missiles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over Crimea.

This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry.

"During the past night, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using American ATACMS operational-tactical missiles on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted. Four operational-tactical missiles were destroyed over the territory of the Crimean peninsula by the air defense systems on duty," the ministry said.

Possible AFU ATACMS strike on Russian S-300/400 or Iskander missile complex in Crimea

Last night, the AFU conducted an ATACMS strike on an unidentified target in Crimea. NASA FIRMS data shows a new large fire in the area of the town of Novoselivske at approximately 45.444045, 33.716305 (pic. 1).

Analysis of Sentinel 1 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) imagery from 05/03/2024 shows two radar sources (pic. 2) in that area located at 45.435079, 33.654067 and 45.431183, 33.655140 (pic 3).

Based on this information, it likely that the Russians had an S-300/400 battery located in that area. Alternatively, a couple of Pantsir or similar air defense system were located there guarding an Iskander complex to the west. However, final confirmation will require satellite imagery or other sources which are not available at this time.

They better hope that they have enough satellites in view within that cone of LOS. Otherwise, their position fix will be crap. Also, as the vehicle maneuvers, the numbers of satellites in view will change and some that may have been contributing to a good fix will drop off the list. Right idea, poor implementation.

Actually, Russia is advancing. Slowly, gradually, at significant cost. But advancing. See the Economist interview with the GUR's deputy: Ukraine is losing. The only question is how much they lose and how much it costs Russia.

True.
China can also legitimately say "all we have to do is wait for a favorable POTUS/Adim. (that we have bought and put in power by our covid) and then we can do what we want. By the time the stupid Americans come to their senses, it's way too late"....

Or they can say "we bought the Americans and we can buy your gov't also so why fight"...

I have a question. Ukraine has enough industry, engineering, and production capability to build things like Neptune & Hrim (haven't heard much of that lately). Why do they not produce ballistic missiles domestically? Sending a medium-long range ballistic missile to hit Russian oil/gas field facilities would send a marker of far more serious disruptions than small refinery strikes.

Okay, I have another question. Why does Ukraine not send teams to launch missiles at Russian LNG shipping facilities? They sent teams to hit Wagner in Sudan, which was purely a vanity project for appearance and accomplished absolutely nothing in the big picture. Why do they not send teams to hit strategic Russian targets, like the oil & gas export system? Why not hit Russia's oil tanker "ghost fleet," load the oil onto other tankers and sell it at cut rates in ports of convenience?

I think it is a priority for Ukraine to manufacture ballistic missiles and cruise missiles but I don't know if they are using them sparingly and building up these stockpiles for later and more numerous attacks combined with the Western aid that is arriving.  It would certainly make sense, but these missile systems would be more complicated to make and more time consuming.

For the second question It may be escalation fears and a lack of such capabilities on the Ukrainian side.

I will add that it may not change the immediate situation on the front. Unless they are making dozens of Neptunes per month and wrecking critical infrastructure like rail, bridges, ports, that keep the RU supplies getting to the front. I'm glad they are working on them but they need to prioritize arty rounds, drones, and maybe CAS with the F16 that may show up just after the peace deal.

Either they cant (they just cant get a team w/drones inside and within range). OR, they dont want to (US ROE would cause them more harm with future aid packages than they could inflict on Russia).

Ukraine is not going to beat Russia in tactical combat operations. That should be an established fact. The west is not going to provide sufficient weapons, and Russia is now throwing more men in than Ukraine can kill. Russian collapse - sadly, Ukraine's only path to victory - cannot happen without hitting strategic targets and causing domestic disruption in Russia. Blowing up Russia's LNG exports, savaging the ghost fleet, hitting Russian oil & gas production facilities (on the extraction end, not just refineries), etc.
