Ukrainian flag, Russian corpses evidence of Kyiv's advance in south
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ceding-ground-ukraine-russia-kills-civilians-apartment-block-strike-2023-06-13/ NESKUCHNE, Ukraine, June 13 (Reuters) - Ukraine's blue and yellow flag flew over a ruined grocery store and Russian soldiers lay dead in the street of the village of Neskuchne, reached by Reuters journalists on Tuesday in the first independent confirmation of Ukraine's biggest advances for seven months. Not a single resident could be found in Neskuchne, one of a cluster of settlements on the Mokry Yali river that Ukraine says its troops have captured in a steady advance southwards into Russian-held territory since their operation began last week. Ukrainian troops rode through the muddy streets on the back of a tank and in a pick-up truck. A warplane flew overhead, firing flares. "Three days ago the Russian forces were still here. We chased them out of Neskuchne. Glory to Ukraine," said Artem, a member of a Ukrainian territorial defence unit, who gave no surname. "These are Ukrainian lands." The mainly one- and two-storey buildings in the village, which had a population of several hundred before Russia invaded last year, had nearly all been damaged. The scene was silent, apart for the crump of artillery fire in the distance. Reuters saw at least three dead Russian soldiers lying in the street, including one whose fly-blown body lay by an abandoned Russian military vehicle. Artem said the advancing Ukrainian troops had watched from a drone as comrades initially tried to evacuate him, only to dump him where he lay and flee. It was the first independent confirmation of Ukraine's advance in the area, roughly 90 km southwest of the city of Donetsk, one of several axes where it is trying to break through Russian lines in the early days of a long-awaited counteroffensive. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: Another night attack and another terrorism of the occupying state against the civilian population of Ukraine. On the night of June 13, the enemy struck from strategic aviation - eight Tu-95ms bombers from the Caspian region, as well as several strike drones from the south. A total of 14 Kh-101/Kh-555 air-based cruise missiles and up to four Shahed-136/131 unmanned aerial vehicles were launched. The forces and means of air defense of the Air Force destroyed 10 cruise missiles and one attack drone. In the city of Kryvyi Rih, rockets hit a residential sector, in particular, a five-story building... We sympathize with the families of those killed and injured at the hands of terrorists... In the morning, the Russians launched a second attack from the Caspian Sea with three Tu-95ms. According to preliminary data, only one cruise missile reached Ukraine this time, which was destroyed by Ukrainian air defense! There will be retribution for every Ukrainian life! Let's win! Let's keep the sky! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fye0zBYWIAAeYqp?format=jpg&name=small
These all must be new production and the quality is probably severely lacking. This also meshes with the report a few days ago that Russia had to issue orders to not use the recent batches of artillery shells as it was dangerous and would blow up the gun. |

Long con rods and no single cylinder head, but individual cylinder heads with large cooling vanes - is that air cooled? It doesn't look like there are any channels for coolant to flow through. The whole thing is so unlike any diesel or gasoline engine I've seen taken apart. {ETA} And the valve mechanism in each individual cylinder head too; how odd... Yes, air cooled.

Curious to see how the city strongholds are going to be dealt with. I'm guessing they will be largely bypassed if the Russians stay there and cut off from supplies. There is reportedly a very large number of Ukrainian units that haven't even participated in the counteroffensive yet, and those might be used to pin the defenders in place. UAVs/drones could be used for very specific targeting for indirect fires and to monitor movements within Russian defensive perimeters. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AROKIE: I think they are 100 percent intentionally hitting crowded apartment buildings. There mindset is not to wear down the military of Ukraine but the civilian will. But it's backfiring on them.. keep in mind this is an army that deploys troops to kill there own soldiers who retreat. Killing civilian s on your enemies ground means absolutely nothing g to them but to degrade the fighting will and spirit of the collective nation of ukraine. Oh I agree completely. I was just disagreeing with the comment that the RU specifically were targeting apartments that house UA mil. families. They are lobbing missiles towards urban areas to kill any civilians rather than trying to hit any specific families. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AROKIE: @mcantu Anti tank mines won't go off with a human stepping on them.. it takes a ton to set them off. Small cars won't set some anti tank mines off. There is a huge difference between anti-personel mines and anti-tank mines and the pressure that sets them off. Usually AT mines are mixed with anti-personnel mines also. But judging what's in the ground by looking at what the stupid orcs are doing may be faulty. Most likely that UA armor went into a well laid mine ambush. Probably using mines specifically to defeat rollers. And very close to RU positions. |

Destroy vehicles by air. Monitor for breakouts with drones and artillery. And the drones can be controlled by civilians, not trained infantry. |

 Zaporozhye. Therefore, the orcs staged a battle for the "impenetrable" minefields and the gray zone. They tore the 127th division from the dugouts, they tore the 40th Marine and 136th Infantry divisions from Ugledar, a bunch of Lugandons. The force is great, so they shouted about "victory" in advance. But they pulled it off.
