🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicle of a special military operation
For March 2, 2024 During the day, Ukrainian formations tried to attack St. Petersburg twice: early in the morning, one of the drones hit a residential building in the north-eastern part of the city, and closer to night, air defense systems intercepted targets over the water area and the coast of the Gulf of Finland. In the Bakhmut sector of the front, Russian units are gaining a foothold on the eastern outskirts of Krasny (Ivanovsky), and in the area of Bogdanovka and Kleshcheevka they repelled enemy counterattacks. To the west of Avdeevka, fighting continues in Berdychi, Tonenkoye, and Orlovka. The enemy does not stop trying to regain previously lost positions: the most difficult situation is developing in Tonenkoye. In the Zaporozhye direction in Rabotino there are oncoming battles, the enemy is trying to stabilize the front by transferring reserves to the village. Meanwhile, the Russian Armed Forces are moving from Verbovoy towards Malaya Tokmachka. 🔻A detailed analytical report on events in the Special Military Operation zone is available on our closed channel @rybar_plus_bot https://t.me/rybar/57817 |

SO many angry emojis.
Amid discussions about the deployment of foreign military personnel in Ukraine, a map of the possible location of NATO military contingent there has appeared online. According to the authors of this map, NATO forces can be prioritized in the northwestern direction (border with Belarus). Odessa will be taken under the control of the military from Romania and Moldova. Let us remind you that at the moment major NATO exercises are taking place in Europe, one of the goals of which is a pretext for drawing their forces to the borders of Ukraine and Belarus. @SvodkiFrontov https://t.me/SvodkiFrontov/280 There is logic. A Ukrainian Armed Forces group of 114 thousand is concentrated on the border with the Republic of Belarus. If it is replaced by foreigners, then this group will be sent to strengthen the eastern front. Armed Forces members from this group, who are currently enjoying their service, should flee to Belarus so as not to go to slaughter. https://t.me/NeoficialniyBeZsonoV/33690 After this publication, a subscriber from Poland sent an interesting message: “Currently there is an active recruitment of personnel into the country’s armed forces. Since 2022, a large recruitment campaign has been launched under the guise of increasing the number of troops (according to plans, the army should increase to 300 thousand, but most likely even more). But there has never been such an active recruitment, which is now in its second month.” @NeoficialniyBeZsonoV https://t.me/NeoficialniyBeZsonoV/33691 |

one or two aircraft. What is most tragic is that our experienced fighter pilots are irretrievably lost. Alas, the command is trying to hush up the fact that the pilots are reluctant to go on missions and there are even attempts at sabotage."... "We don't quite understand how the crests began to shoot down so many of our birds, but the pilots are not in a good mood."...   If you are too afraid to fly, then the Ukrainians have defeated your air force and it can't help your guys at the front. If you do fly, the Ukrainians shoot down your air force. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Today’s Bradley-BTR video, speed corrected, soundtrack removed, decent sound FX added. At 1:34 a direct 25mm hit removes a Russian’s head from his shoulders. Survivor of the Bradley slaughter decides to stroll back to camp. Or not. Obviously much, much later, as the BTR has lost its turret and isn’t even smoking. Reddit version. Yesterday’s release - Bradley chopping Russian infantry to pieces. Casualty pics from several of the BTRs seen in the background of the above videos. The second video released might’ve been the chronologically first to happen. From 0:01 to 0:13 of today’s video you can see what may be the same two destroyed BTRs as from 0:02 to 0:04 from yesterday’s video. In today’s video the BTR doesn’t make it far beyond these two wrecks and there isn’t an edit. In yesterday’s video there is an edit after passing these wrecks, it delivers the infantry, and is hit on the way out. My guess is they edited out “today’s” two destroyed BTRs (the one on camera and the abandoned one it ends up next to) from “yesterday’s” video. Based on the hit angles in “today’s” video, it looks like the Bradley was probably firing from the treeline seen in the extreme foreground at the start of “yesterday’s” video. Then in “yesterday’s” video it pulled back from this treeline and approached down the road instead. The retreat route of “yesterday’” BMP is probably the road perpendicular to the road that video happened on. We are missing video of several Russian armor kills. The two fresh wrecks passed by both videos, the abandoned BTR “today’s” slaughter happened next to, the abandoned BTR the Bradley was hiding behind, and the burning BMP or MTLB wreck seen at the end of “yesterday’s” video. Total of six BTRs and one tracked APC in two days on one stretch of road. Western IFVs are quite effective ... against Russian armor ... |

Italy will take away its SAMP/T air defense system from Slovakia
According to the country's Prime Minister Robert Fico, Italy leased air defense to Slovakia for a year and will now withdraw the complex because it is needed elsewhere. Fico added that Slovakia’s strategic facilities, in particular nuclear power plants, will be left unprotected, and the previous government transferred a functioning S-300 air defense system to Ukraine. Maybe Orban will lend his? 🤔 https://t.me/uniannet/127277 |

Shouvalov sounds like he got a talking to.
This is written like someone explaining to the mods that this is not a thread slide On UAV strikes on St. Petersburg. As if from the front, these “strikes” do not look the same as they look from peaceful windows, but there is no point in playing with such comparisons. I myself believe that one aggressive jamshut in the vicinity of my family somewhere in civilian life is much more dangerous than a NATO brigade with all modern types of weapons somewhere at the front. Therefore, I will say a few things that civilians will not like, but which I must say. The first one is simply important. The UAVs in St. Petersburg did not fly from Ukrainian territory. The fact that it is not from there is 100%, but from where exactly - let those who have to track such things figure it out. Secondly, it was not a strike, but reconnaissance. They monitor the air defense system. This is a classic. The third is unpleasant. The strikes will intensify, and the goal is not so much damage (but this is important, of course), but rather forcing the air defense system to be removed from the front and sent to the distant rear. Accordingly, it is impossible to pull forces and resources from the front. Unacceptable. The attacks on oil depots cannot be completely ignored, but nothing can be delayed from the front even further. Crimea is now being hit less than inland. And this is not pity for Crimea - this is the calculation of the enemy. Minor attacks, as before, load the air defense and unload supplies, but it is difficult to break through such a layered defense (and concentrated in a small space with limited approach routes). That’s why they hit distant areas, as if calling for the air defense to be removed from the front zones and sent closer to the oil depots. They consider our helpers to be stupid (we know that this is not so, we are just very worried). If our people fall for such a trick, then first they will unwind our front. Or they will simply demolish factories and warehouses somewhere where the air defense was withdrawn from. It is indicative that our air defense is not on duty, but roaming across the vast expanses. If anyone didn’t know, then at the snap of a finger, the movement of technical means (which is ideally carried out both secretly and with the necessary cover, where one almost excludes the other) is not carried out. And the scale of Russia in this particular case plays for the enemy, because we do not have the ability to keep the necessary systems ready everywhere in sufficient quantities. Now - the most unpleasant part. If military response methods only benefit the enemy, and it is practically impossible to increase the production of modern air defenses, then the non-combat response method remains. To put it simply, we need to work with the population and honestly explain that there will be more and more attacks on the deep infrastructure, that this is our new normal, which we will have to endure. Don’t play the game with promises “we’ll decide everything, if not tomorrow morning, then the day after tomorrow in the afternoon, and tomorrow the day after tomorrow will become tomorrow - and in a circle.” No, otherwise you will only get the situation worse. We need to prepare bunkers for schools as far as Siberia, we need to prepare repair and restoration special teams for factories, we need to teach the population to live in conditions as if we were at war. This is better than sacrificing people and equipment at the front, which, if the air defense is withdrawn, will be threshed on an industrial scale without any direct fighting. The enemy will soon receive the F-16, and this is why they want to remove the air defense from the front. We are not touching political issues now, but are proceeding in strictly military logic. If it is impossible to protect all factories and oil depots with additional means (without attracting forces from the front), then drink it and forget it. Fighting always requires costs. If St. Petersburg suddenly turns into a front-line city, prepare bunkers, doctors, and warning systems. But touching air defense from the front is haram. Starting to feed Ramzan Akhmatovich pork shish kebab is such a small haram, but removing air defense from the front is such a huge haram. Is it clear now? When I have time, I will share many more interesting things. Whatever is possible, of course. https://t.me/shouvalov/193 |

https://t.me/russvolcorps/875  This is us, cheerful and satisfied, returning back from our most high-profile combat mission so far - double penetration into the Bryansk region 03/02/2023! The reason for our sincere joy is obvious: we shot up a school bus, scattered petal mines, wounded the boy Fyodor and captured a paramedic! This is how they will write about us in Russian history textbooks. Or not quite like that, but they will definitely write it. After all, we have become part of it (history) forever! The RDK fighters then showed real audacity and ingenuity, courage and determination. Not everything turned out the way we wanted, but on March 2, 2023, without exaggeration, the whole world learned about RDK! In just a year, a lot has changed, and we ourselves have changed, but our daring operation in the Bryansk region forever acquired the status of a landmark mission in this war. Glory to RDK! Glory of the Great Russian Empire! https://t.me/white_powder2020/2432 Greatest hits video from Ukrainian Militant "Russian Volunteer Corps" It continues to wage fierce battles on the territory of the Russian Federation, humiliating the so-called second army in the world and the Russian government. All television programs filled only with Russian propagandists are bursting with anger and impotence. Holes in the defense, absolute unpreparedness to control even their own territory, lack of reserves, complete lack of operational response, Russian Guard special forces torn to shreds along with the FSB - and rusty and broken booths, instead of the state border, this is what the Russian Volunteer Corps revealed. We wish these guys productive work. And continue in the same spirit, because you will have to put your house in order in the future and finally free the Russians who have gone crazy from the oppression of the regime. https://t.me/ukrainian_militant/21625 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: #Review #Summary for March 3, 2024 1/1 ▪️The issue of open participation of NATO troops in the war in Ukraine has moved from the category “unthinkable” to “discussed.” Scholz turned over foreign specialists who are already helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The interception of German military experts regarding calculations of the needs for Taurus missiles for the destruction of the Crimean Bridge is indicative - such issues are already being calmly discussed at the middle level in the Bundeswehr. NATO countries are conducting exercises on the eastern flank and developing logistics routes along the borders of Russia and Belarus “from sea to sea.” ▪️The reason for such discussions was Ukraine’s inability to resist Russia “for a long time.” Experts from the United States talk about irreparable damage already caused to the demography of Ukraine. The once elite units like the Special Operations Forces, Main Intelligence Directorate and the 3rd Special Operations Brigade are already recruited according to the same principle: less than 35 years of age. A political crisis is coming: the presidential elections canceled by Zelensky were supposed to take place in March, and in May all conceivable terms for his legal stay in power expire. The situation is complicated by Kiev's expectation of an even larger-scale offensive by the Russian Army. ▪️At the moment, the Russian Armed Forces are developing success west of Avdeevka: battles are taking place near Berdychi, Semenovka, Orlovka, Tonenkoye. The enemy holds the lines and skillfully takes advantage of our mistakes: either our motorized rifles found themselves without grenade launchers against the lightly armored Bradley, or the headquarters draw maps based on beautiful video reports with flags in villages that have not yet been cleared. ▪️At Chasov Yar, the Russian Army continues to advance through Ivanovskoye (Krasnoe). Heavy fighting ensues, but the enemy manages to be pushed to the outskirts. ▪️From Maryinka, our troops are attacking in three directions: to the west - towards Kurakhovo through Georgievka, to the south - through the settlement. Pobeda and Novomikhailovka for access to Ugledar, to the north - towards Krasnogorovka. ▪️On the Zaporozhye front, there were the heaviest bloody battles in Rabotino. Again a week ago we rushed to report, but the enemy is conducting a maneuverable defense. The village, located in a lowland, is pitted with trenches and communication passages, which allows the enemy to move. From the flanks, our troops are seriously preparing for a strike. ▪️Fighting continues in Krynki in the Kherson direction. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are sitting in small groups near the Antonovsky Bridge in “dachas”. “Beautiful reports” about the exact defeat of the enemy by TOS come from the lower levels. After viewing footage of objective control, management’s eyes may pop out of their heads from such “accuracy.” ▪️Our aviation (as well as military aircraft) with FAB and UMPC are working hard. The pilots are wondering why not carry out a large-scale operation to destroy the air defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, at least in the front line. Several times a week, our comrades are forced to dodge enemy missiles in multi-ton vehicles (the Armed Forces of Ukraine, by the way, chalk up a “defeat” at the moment of launch, hence the enemy’s space statistics). https://t.me/dva_majors/35666 1/2 ▪️FPV drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine pose a huge problem along the entire front. The enemy is already changing frequencies and ordering industrial production from foreign factories with this changed parameter. That is, our electronic warfare is no longer always effective against them. Our well-known project for the production of such kamikaze UAVs, due to its organizational and legal form and corresponding bulkiness, can hardly afford this. It is necessary to diversify production, incl. due to the involvement of front-line workshops, of which there are already a huge number. ▪️Terrorist attacks on the Russian border continue. At the same time, our troops are increasing counter-battery warfare, hitting targets on enemy territory and hitting their strongholds. But due to the blatant bureaucracy and lack of understanding among management (as well as their unwillingness to take responsibility) of the importance of information work, it remains at a formal level, but paper indicators are likely to grow compared to the same period last year. ▪️Meanwhile, Kharkov Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing for defense. The population of the city sees the bunkers, the movement of equipment and the partial evacuation of documentation. A new element was the systematic work of FABs along the enemy border area. “We’ll push it back,” the Supreme Commander said some time ago. Apparently the enemy is very concerned about this. ▪️In general, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are experiencing a shortage of personnel and equipment, Kyiv is begging for weapons and help in all sorts of places, and military-industrial corporations are fueling the conflict through their purchased politicians. Leaders in the West are not very interested in Russia’s readiness for dialogue (not to be regarded as readiness for a ceasefire). The summary was compiled by: Two majors https://t.me/dva_majors/35667 I think I know Two Majors arfcom screen name. |

Russia announced the shooting down of 38 drones over Crimea. There were loud explosions in Feodosia Markiyan Klymkovetskyi, photoAt night, the occupying authorities temporarily blocked traffic on the Krymsky bridge, and also temporarily restricted traffic on the Tavrida highway in the direction of Kerch. The Ukrainian authorities and the military have not yet commented on this information. We are trying to get a comment from the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense and the Security Service of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced the alleged destruction of 38 Ukrainian drones over the territory of the Crimean Peninsula. The network wrote about strong explosions in Feodosia, in particular in the area of the oil depot. Thus, the Ministry of Defense of Russia claims that Ukraine launched 38 aircraft-type drones and all of them were allegedly shot down by regular air defense equipment over the territory of Crimea. Both Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels wrote about powerful explosions in Feodosia, which is in the east of the Crimean Peninsula. "Krymskiy veter" writes that the explosions were heard in the area of the oil depot. SHOT claims that the windows in the houses of local residents shook, and the alarms near the cars went off in the yards. At night, the occupying authorities temporarily blocked traffic on the Krymsky bridge, and also temporarily restricted traffic on the Tavrida highway in the direction of Kerch. The Ukrainian authorities and the military have not yet commented on this information. We are trying to get a comment from the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense and the Security Service of Ukraine. https://hromadske.ua/posts/rosiya-zayavila-pro-zbittya-38-droniv-nad-krimom-u-feodosiyi-lunali-silni-vibuhi Z-TG Tonight, the Kiev regime carried out its most powerful UAV raid on Feodosia. 38 enemy vehicles were used. The attack targeted a local oil depot. Serious damage was avoided (thanks to the air defense). Also, while repelling the strike, the road surface of the Tavrida highway was damaged and one of the civilians (the driver of a car passing at that time) was injured. Scheme of detour to the damaged area on the map. According to my information, traffic on the Tavrida highway will be fully restored this evening... https://t.me/yurasumy/13625 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Massive drone raid on Feodosia https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHvxI46XEAAMmIO?format=jpg&name=large This night, air defense units in Feodosia repelled another attack by Ukrainian formations. For the first time in a long time, the enemy carried out a massive raid of drones launched from the Zaporozhye region. 🔻With 38 drones that crossed the path, skirting the location of air defense systems in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intended to strike an oil depot in Feodosia. ▪️As a result of the joint work of the assets of 31 divisions, including crews of the S-400 air defense system, the Pantsir-S1 air defense system, and rifle detachments of the Crimean defense group, 36 drones were shot down. ▪️One of the UAVs hit a pipeline at an oil depot. It was this sound that was mistaken for the arrival in the tank. The resulting fire was extinguished without serious damage to the infrastructure. ▪️Another drone, having lost its course, fell on the Tavrida highway near Feodosia. According to Two Majors, a civilian vehicle was damaged, and the area of the fall was cordoned off. ❗️One important feature should be noted in the recent missile strike on Crimea and today’s raid: the Ukrainian Armed Forces are once again increasing their efforts to destroy targets in Crimea. It was quite expected that on the eve of the presidential elections in Russia, the Ukrainian authorities would try to create chaos and panic. And the closer the election date, the more intense the attempts will be. And the final goal is the Crimean Bridge. https://t.me/rybar/57828 I know nothing about air defense. Would it make sense to send a HARM out with the barrages of drones for attacks like these? Seems like you could get a two-for-one - striking the oil facility, and also taking out a radar. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: Shouvalov sounds like he got a talking to. This is written like someone explaining to the mods that this is not a thread slide On UAV strikes on St. Petersburg. As if from the front, these “strikes” do not look the same as they look from peaceful windows, but there is no point in playing with such comparisons. I myself believe that one aggressive jamshut in the vicinity of my family somewhere in civilian life is much more dangerous than a NATO brigade with all modern types of weapons somewhere at the front. Therefore, I will say a few things that civilians will not like, but which I must say. The first one is simply important. The UAVs in St. Petersburg did not fly from Ukrainian territory. The fact that it is not from there is 100%, but from where exactly - let those who have to track such things figure it out. Secondly, it was not a strike, but reconnaissance. They monitor the air defense system. This is a classic. The third is unpleasant. The strikes will intensify, and the goal is not so much damage (but this is important, of course), but rather forcing the air defense system to be removed from the front and sent to the distant rear. Accordingly, it is impossible to pull forces and resources from the front. Unacceptable. The attacks on oil depots cannot be completely ignored, but nothing can be delayed from the front even further. Crimea is now being hit less than inland. And this is not pity for Crimea - this is the calculation of the enemy. Minor attacks, as before, load the air defense and unload supplies, but it is difficult to break through such a layered defense (and concentrated in a small space with limited approach routes). That’s why they hit distant areas, as if calling for the air defense to be removed from the front zones and sent closer to the oil depots. They consider our helpers to be stupid (we know that this is not so, we are just very worried). If our people fall for such a trick, then first they will unwind our front. Or they will simply demolish factories and warehouses somewhere where the air defense was withdrawn from. It is indicative that our air defense is not on duty, but roaming across the vast expanses. If anyone didn’t know, then at the snap of a finger, the movement of technical means (which is ideally carried out both secretly and with the necessary cover, where one almost excludes the other) is not carried out. And the scale of Russia in this particular case plays for the enemy, because we do not have the ability to keep the necessary systems ready everywhere in sufficient quantities. Now - the most unpleasant part. If military response methods only benefit the enemy, and it is practically impossible to increase the production of modern air defenses, then the non-combat response method remains. To put it simply, we need to work with the population and honestly explain that there will be more and more attacks on the deep infrastructure, that this is our new normal, which we will have to endure. Don’t play the game with promises “we’ll decide everything, if not tomorrow morning, then the day after tomorrow in the afternoon, and tomorrow the day after tomorrow will become tomorrow - and in a circle.” No, otherwise you will only get the situation worse. We need to prepare bunkers for schools as far as Siberia, we need to prepare repair and restoration special teams for factories, we need to teach the population to live in conditions as if we were at war. This is better than sacrificing people and equipment at the front, which, if the air defense is withdrawn, will be threshed on an industrial scale without any direct fighting. The enemy will soon receive the F-16, and this is why they want to remove the air defense from the front. We are not touching political issues now, but are proceeding in strictly military logic. If it is impossible to protect all factories and oil depots with additional means (without attracting forces from the front), then drink it and forget it. Fighting always requires costs. If St. Petersburg suddenly turns into a front-line city, prepare bunkers, doctors, and warning systems. But touching air defense from the front is haram. Starting to feed Ramzan Akhmatovich pork shish kebab is such a small haram, but removing air defense from the front is such a huge haram. Is it clear now? When I have time, I will share many more interesting things. Whatever is possible, of course. https://t.me/shouvalov/193 Could have come from Herman Goering in '43... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By UKjohn: I had a question but i think i got it now , the first vid was the one with the troops cut up by the blue gates . Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By UKjohn: Originally Posted By Capta: Today's Bradley-BTR video, speed corrected, soundtrack removed, decent sound FX added. At 1:34 a direct 25mm hit removes a Russian's head from his shoulders. Survivor of the Bradley slaughter decides to stroll back to camp. Or not. Obviously much, much later, as the BTR has lost its turret and isn't even smoking. Reddit version. Yesterday's release - Bradley chopping Russian infantry to pieces. Casualty pics from several of the BTRs seen in the background of the above videos. The second video released might've been the chronologically first to happen. From 0:01 to 0:13 of today's video you can see what may be the same two destroyed BTRs as from 0:02 to 0:04 from yesterday's video. In today's video the BTR doesn't make it far beyond these two wrecks and there isn't an edit. In yesterday's video there is an edit after passing these wrecks, it delivers the infantry, and is hit on the way out. My guess is they edited out "today's" two destroyed BTRs (the one on camera and the abandoned one it ends up next to) from "yesterday's" video. Based on the hit angles in "today's" video, it looks like the Bradley was probably firing from the treeline seen in the extreme foreground at the start of "yesterday's" video. Then in "yesterday's" video it pulled back from this treeline and approached down the road instead. The retreat route of "yesterday'" BMP is probably the road perpendicular to the road that video happened on. We are missing video of several Russian armor kills. The two fresh wrecks passed by both videos, the abandoned BTR "today's" slaughter happened next to, the abandoned BTR the Bradley was hiding behind, and the burning BMP or MTLB wreck seen at the end of "yesterday's" video. Total of six BTRs and one tracked APC in two days on one stretch of road. The blue-green gate video was the first video released but IMO probably happened after events of the second video released - the BTR slaughter. |

That’s cleanup work on the now-famous BTR slaughter site. It’s after the Brdley worked them over but before the BTR lost its turret and burned out, so this happened relatively early in the engagement. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lieh-tzu: I know nothing about air defense. Would it make sense to send a HARM out with the barrages of drones for attacks like these?

The Ukrainian authorities and the military have not yet commented on this information. We are trying to get a comment from the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense and the Security Service of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced the alleged destruction of 38 Ukrainian drones over the territory of the Crimean Peninsula. The network wrote about strong explosions in Feodosia, in particular in the area of the oil depot. Thus, the Ministry of Defense of Russia claims that Ukraine launched 38 aircraft-type drones and all of them were allegedly shot down by regular air defense equipment over the territory of Crimea. Both Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels wrote about powerful explosions in Feodosia, which is in the east of the Crimean Peninsula. "Krymskiy veter" writes that the explosions were heard in the area of the oil depot. SHOT claims that the windows in the houses of local residents shook, and the alarms near the cars went off in the yards.

The attack targeted a local oil depot. Serious damage was avoided (thanks to the air defense). Also, while repelling the strike, the road surface of the Tavrida highway was damaged and one of the civilians (the driver of a car passing at that time) was injured. Scheme of detour to the damaged area on the map. According to my information, traffic on the Tavrida highway will be fully restored this evening... https://t.me/yurasumy/13625 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Massive drone raid on Feodosia https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GHvxI46XEAAMmIO?format=jpg&name=large This night, air defense units in Feodosia repelled another attack by Ukrainian formations. For the first time in a long time, the enemy carried out a massive raid of drones launched from the Zaporozhye region. 🔻With 38 drones that crossed the path, skirting the location of air defense systems in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intended to strike an oil depot in Feodosia. ▪️As a result of the joint work of the assets of 31 divisions, including crews of the S-400 air defense system, the Pantsir-S1 air defense system, and rifle detachments of the Crimean defense group, 36 drones were shot down. ▪️One of the UAVs hit a pipeline at an oil depot. It was this sound that was mistaken for the arrival in the tank. The resulting fire was extinguished without serious damage to the infrastructure. ▪️Another drone, having lost its course, fell on the Tavrida highway near Feodosia. According to Two Majors, a civilian vehicle was damaged, and the area of the fall was cordoned off. ❗️One important feature should be noted in the recent missile strike on Crimea and today’s raid: the Ukrainian Armed Forces are once again increasing their efforts to destroy targets in Crimea. It was quite expected that on the eve of the presidential elections in Russia, the Ukrainian authorities would try to create chaos and panic. And the closer the election date, the more intense the attempts will be. And the final goal is the Crimean Bridge. https://t.me/rybar/57828 I know nothing about air defense. Would it make sense to send a HARM out with the barrages of drones for attacks like these? Seems like you could get a two-for-one - striking the oil facility, and also taking out a radar. They could try but they probably don’t have the range in current circumstances. HARMs will get a lot more dangerous once F-16s are shooting them. |

Donk get cocky If a tank had been involved, the vid would have lasted for 2-3 seconds as 1 or 2 shots from a 120 or 125mm would have ended that who fiasco. Luckily the poor stupid Russians didnt use a tank in that attack as it may have had better luck. Have we figured out where the Bradly was firing from? Distance? Did the Russians know they ere up against it? Why didnt the Russians use the autocannons on the BTR? That ran thru my head the first time I saw the video. They made no attempt to fight back with the 30MM cannon. I would have thought that would be the first thing the commander would have tried to do. Maybe they could not locate it, but I don't remember it even moving or searching for the Bradley. When you look at the videos in the right order some things make more sense. This video was the first one to happen but the second one released. They weren’t rolling up to assault a target, they were in the middle of a field. When the camera drifts off the BTR, just at the tail end of that something hits around the BTR. I believe this was the Bradley shooting AP, and that the BTR was hit, killing its engine and possibly some crew, because the BTR didn’t attempt to keep going and reach the target (still half a mile ahead) or turn around and bug out. It stopped right next to another BTR, which was probably killed by the same Bradley. The Brad keeps shooting at least some AP, and HE. AP will probably go through both sides of a BTR and anything in it. The crew was probably almost immediately all wounded if not killed. It was an ambush and over before it began, except for the survivors being slaughtered. |
