Russian special military operation in Ukraine #9

A UkA Humvee in SKD (Semi Knocked Down Kit) form after falling out of its crate and sustaining some minor damge, 'easily repairable' someone on the BBC said.

Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry

On April 1, at around 5am Moscow time, 2 Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopters entered Russian airspace at an extremely low altitude.

Manoeuvring to advantage of terrain folds, Ukrainian helicopters launched a missile attack on a civilian oil storage facility on the outskirts of Belgorod.

As a result of the hits, some of the tanks were damaged and ignited.

I would like to stress that only civilian vehicles were supplied with fuel from this facility. The oil depot has no relation to the Russian Armed Forces.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation in Ukraine.

Units of the Russian Armed Forces have completed the mopping-up of Urozhainoe from nationalists and are fighting with the Ukrainian 54th Separate Mechanized Brigade for the capture of Oktyabr state farm.

The advance during the day was 8 kilometers. A Ukrainian motorised infantry company, reinforced by a tank platoon, was destroyed.

Onyx high-precision cruise missiles of Bastion coastal missile system have destroyed the headquarters of a grouping of Ukrainian troops near Shakhterskoe. Up to 40 personnel, 5 armoured vehicles and vehicles of various purposes were destroyed.

During the day, operational-tactical and army aviation hit 40 military assets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Among them: 2 anti-aircraft missile systems, including 1 Buk-M1 system near Murakhovo and 1 Osa launcher near Velikie Novoselki, as well as 32 areas of concentration of Ukrainian weapons and military equipment.

Russian air defence means have shot down 1 Ukrainian Mi-24 helicopter near Gulyai Pole and 4 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles near Novomikhailovka, Izyum and Kharkov.

In total, 124 aircfaft and 82 helicopters, 357 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,854 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 202 multiple launch rocket systems, 777 field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,722 units of special military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the operation.

Holy shit!!! But why tell the UK? Who is responsible for the Geneva Convention?

I suppose they try to hide behind Russia not calling it a war. No doubt articles like the Dutch one had an influence.

1/2 Even the most Russophobic Dutch newspaper NRC today is forced to admit: "The video of the execution of Russian prisoners of war looks real." After analyzing the terrible video footage, the newspaper agrees that this is not a fake.

Dunno why some are so pissed about the fuel depot I'm Belgorod. That's right at the border of Ukraine. The flying low tactic to avoid Sam's is common practice and Russia did the same. At best, awacs and vlow altitude radar would have picked it up (awacs should now be used more often, LA radar has low range for a reason) but otherwise, it's an effective tactic Russia used as well in Ukraine.

Now the question is, where do they take off and land from? It's obvious they are hiding them so where?

Other than that, I guarantee that Rosgvardi will be more active at these facilities.

This is what happens when you have Nazis in power. You know what you do when you have Nazis? You do thousand bomber raids and you wipe them off the face of the earth

If you don't want listen to the whole video, than just listen from from the 55 minute mark for 20-25 minutes very fascinating stuff.

What do you think is happening with helicopters in Mariupol? Is there NATO special forces there? Is there top secret stuff or documents they want out?

I don't think that NATO would care about Azov leaders.

I think it is clear that there were NATzO officers overseeing the Azov terrorists. Clearing them out would be a high priority for NATzO.
I am hoping that they were either captured or toasted.

So Russia is pulling out a lot of forces from the Kiev "encirclement" and moving them to the LDNR front. At the same time
the regime forces are dashing there without pursuing the "retreating" Russians. It looks like the final battle is upon us.
After the regime forces are trashed in the cauldron the rest of "Ukraine" will fold.

The Banderite regime has burned through its high value reserves. The conscripted "reserves" are cannon fodder and will not
put up any substantial resistance. They are only useful for terrorizing civilians and possibly some insurgency later on.

Wouldn't it have been better to keep the units in Kiev area to keep whatever forces there bogged down while providing fresh soldiers down towards Kharkov instead regrouping them from Kiev region? Wouldn't doing this create a corridor for Ukraine to send reinforcements towards Kharkov and rest?

I think it is clear now that Russia has decided to destroy the Ukr army.   They did not do the smart thing and surrender.   They decided to
be NATzO bootlick and Stepan Bandera lover heroes.    So drawing them from around Kiev to the cauldron zone makes perfect sense.   They
are in the open and "easy" pickings to the south of Izyum.   Around Kiev they can hide in the residential blocks and waste more Russian
resources and civilian lives.

I think the Kiev regime has made an epic blunder by transferring its forces from Kiev to the LDNR front. But they don't have a choice
in their minds since losing on the LDNR front is total loss.

A large Ukranian drone flew through 3 Nato countries air space and crashed in the middle of a city too. These things happen

Long said, Kremlin lost the plot in Ukraine on Day 1. Now they are looking for a face saver. First they roped in fascist Turkey to facilitate negotiation and now Lavrov wants India.... a third world failed state to mediate between Russia & Ukraine

Silly to say no offense and all, the war is far from over and Ukraine is losing, yes Russia did overcommit and they realized the mistake hence their scale downs on some fronts.

You need to remember the russians are waging their war with annoying rules, undermanned and a lot of b tier frontline gear, tho they do some have modernise stuff there, its not a lot.

Looks like the prelims are starting in Odessa. And the Ukrainian regime was caught with its pants down.

In Odessa, the commander of the defense was caught in an orgy with a transvestite.

In the underground brothel of the Odessa region of Arcadia, Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andrey Kislovsky, a deputy of the Odessa City Council from the Trust in Affairs party, one of the leaders of the local territorial defense, was spotted.

This image alone doesn't prove the claim you are making though, from what evidence I see this is a propaganda post.

You have his face on image? can you prove the face matches the name?

I doubt many of the Ukrainian forces will reach Donbass. Russia has been bombing Ukrainian warehouses and fuel depots for a couple weeks; they no longer have the means to transport large formations to the field in eastern Ukraine and supply their operations there. Most of those troops will be used to set up new "eastern" defensive positions near Kharkiv, Poltava, Lozova, Pavlohrad, etc. Positions much closer to their existing supply base. And at the same time, they can tell their troops in Donbass that help is arriving with it only being a half truth.

There are also pics of chechen units moving towards Kiev.

The advance towards Kiev, Kharkov and Nikolaev (Odessa) was a great move. They blocked the Orc forces there and allowed to prepare the eastern front. The Orcs couldn´t send reinforcements because in that case at least Nikolaev and Odessa would have been attacked and encircled/liberated. Same in Kharkow. Had the Orcs retreated from that area the city would be under russian control now. And Kiev completely surrounded. Now the junta in Lviv has to send their light infantry forces towards Donbass, a lot of them will be destroyed on the roads and the rest will arrive in small groups and without much coordination. Just more cannon fodder for the front.

After that fight there will be not much left around Kiev and other parts of country 404 that could resist the advance of the russian forces.

Please refrain from quoting this user seemingly degrated to passer-by gloater, if only as a courtesy request from a stranger. Some here seem to think differently, but it is my opinion this war will last a long time, regardless of what happens in Ukraine. Russia was aware of this since day 0 and has reflected this in every stage. Those who have not realised this are in for a rude awakining down the line.

Cruise missiles are striking all over the place again.

Someone here asked a few days back for an iskander volley launch?.

It's nothing to do with over committing - just the political part of the operation failed, setting up an alternative Ukrainian government. Which actually was plan A.

The hope of scaring Kiev into negotiations failed
The hope of splitting the Ukrainian elites, or the military away from the political leadership - failed
The hope of coming to agreements with more Ukrainian cities and regions failed. Kharkov didn't work out, neither Krivoj Rog - to these cities Russian forces attempted to make advances but then withdrew. Chernigov, Sumy too didn't agree.

So now plan B is just to destroy the Ukrainian army group in the field, 2 groups in fact one in the Donbass and another gathering in front of Zaporozhie. Put them into cauldrons, force a mass surrender and hopefully defections ultimately to the LNR/DNR, and probably advance up the Dniepr, while in the south - seize Nikolaev and Odessa for sure.
There may be some new state set up, like a North Korea and South Korea type of thing.

This has to be a first in the field of military operations
