Can't verify, so.

They need to capture the US generals there, unless Azov already killed and burned them. Huge propaganda win and the could exchange them for russians in the US.

They gave them too many chances already imo, and half day today, if that’s true don’t see whats another hour going to do.
I know capturing these scumbags and their NATO advisers would be ideal, but sending men in to die to capture them, is it really worth it?

If they want them so badly just keep them blockaded and starve them out , if they are not prepared to do that, then just start dropping bombs already, begging them to surrender and giving them multiple ultimatums without repercussions just makes the Russians look indecisive. That could affect other fronts when trying to negotiate surrender.

* AMERICUNT, Russia is waging real wars and Russia is not spending hundreds of billions of dollars on each war to then withdraw in a couple of years as a bitch from Iraq, Afghanistan.

* AMERICUNT, those "third-class Russian ships" you are writing about could very easily sink Tom Cruise's Nimitz-class aircraft carrier with Russian submarines or with Kinzhal, Zircon, H-32, Onyx.

Brothers Serbs unfurl the flag of Russia and sing Katyusha at the game with the team from Ukraine.



* These are all reasons why you are C U N T and your origin is as clear as day - the USA.

The ethnic bomb is something very typical of the Jews. They have been investigating it for years in Israel. And there is a precedent with the supremacist South Africans.

From the rear of the ship it is the large object on the pedastal between the Fort vertical launch tubes and the gray painted helicopter hangar.

From the front:



You can see how far back it is mounted and its rather good field of regard.

If you look at the second image the small radar above the second set of  Vulcan missiles on the closest side of the ship and behind the RBU  munitions launchers for anti sub and anti diver and anti torpedo work is the radar that would track low flying missiles qued by the search radar which should have detected them at about 12km range or so.

You cannot compare a "tracking" radar with a search radar. Even if the 3P41 (Top Dome) radar was dealing with drone threats, this is a tracking radar, you cannot detect an air threat with it.

Track radars are used to track air contacts that have already been detected by search radar. This means that the ship's search radar is always in "radiate" mode, scanning 360 degrees, and when the operator determines that a contact is a threat.the contact information is relayed to the tracking radar, which illuminates it for surface-to-air missiles. So, the assumption that Top Plate was monitoring the drone, so it didn't see the Neptune" is completely wrong.

Another issue is the coverage of the trackers. Because of the ship's design, every tracker has a blind sector. However, there are some other trackers that can illuminate the dark sectors and continuously track a threat. When tracking an air contact with Top Plate, for example, if the contact moves to the blind sector you can relay the track to the Pop Group tracker and keep contact under control. Pop Group is not designed to guide S-300F, but you have the track, if you decide to engage the threat with S-300F you can make a ship maneuver and relay the contact to Top Dome and fire missile

The altimeter of the anti-ship missiles adjusts the height of the missile from the peak point of a wave. So, if a missile flies at 80 ft altitude, this value is for sea state 0. If a wave height is around 2 meters, The flying altitude of the missile becomes ~90 ft.If a radar can detect a sea skimming missile, it can detect it in any sea state. Of course, sea clutter has an impact on maintaining the track, but the radar can detect the missile and may encounter some difficulties in maintaining the track.

Hey, AMERICUNT..
You have to learn every word of this hymn. Either that or you’ll welcome the end of your life in bed and say to yourself “God, how stupid and brainwashe I was”.
And then in your deathbed you will tell yourself; "That wonderful Russia that trampled on Charles 12, Napoleon and Hitler and that nailed a big dick to my USA."

Big entry, summary of the week, lots of links and stories

https://guerraenucrania.wordpress.com/2022/04/17/noticias-de-la-guerra-17-04-2022/[/quote]

A brief summary of the last few days:

The fronts have remained stable except in Izyum and Mariupol, while they are completing preparations for the start of an offensive operation in the coming days.

What is happening on the fronts can be judged from the report of the Ukrainian General Staff, which recognizes that Russian troops withdrawn from the Kiev and Chernigov regions are being transferred to the Belgorod region. They reinforce the Kharkov direction, and are also partially transferred to strengthen the grouping, which is now advancing from Izyum in the direction of Slavyansk and Barvenkovo.

The Mariupol bourse continues to shrink, following the surrender of more than 1,500 soldiers of the marine infantry brigade. Persistent rumors that there are NATO military personnel trapped in the bag with the Azov Nazis. The Russians have started employing Tu-22M bombers to drop conventional bombs. The port has been liberated.

In the southwest, Ukrainian counterattacks on Nikolayev have failed. On the Donbass front the advance to the south-west of Donetsk was stopped, and it was pressed on the fortified front on Avdeyevka and Popasnaya. Artillery shelling of Ukrainian fortifications and trenches is continuous for days.

In the East the encirclement of Kharkov is tightened a little more, the Russians have taken Balakleya. In the North, the Izyum-Slavyansk sector, the Izyum bridgehead continues to expand little by little in the face of intense resistance. Now a classic battle is unfolding. Preparation artillery, counter-battery duels, tank combats, air strikes, infantry combats and hand strikes by special forces units that sometimes reach the melee.

On Friday, the 15th, Russian soldiers captured soldiers of the 93rd Motorized Rifle Brigade of Ukraine. The prisoners claim that the brigade units are suffering significant losses. One of the battalions has already lost 40% of its personnel.

The news of the week is the sinking of the old cruiser Mosvka. The causes are ignored. Attack or accident? It is only known that there was a fire and an explosion in the forecastle, from the ammunition of the 130mm double cannon. They abandoned the ship and when the fire was extinguished they tried to tow it but it had a waterway and in the storm it ended up heeling and capsizing. My personal opinion is that he sank from how old he was. It is not the first time, both in the First World War and the Second, two battleships were lost due to gunpowder explosions in port. The second possibility is that he was unlucky enough to hit a drifting mine. The least likely is a missile strike, perhaps with NATO technical support. Not much has been lost, the ship was 40 years old and was for scrapping, its only utility was in case of war with NATO to launch its barrage of anti-ship missiles before being sunk. Fortunately, almost the entire crew was saved.

Reinforcements continue to arrive at the front, the arrival of Cossack formations is confirmed, and after a month it seems that the Kremlin has given its approval to the arrival of volunteers. Trains with modern armored moderna are sighted in Russian cities, all heading west.

Another discarded news is the arrest of the oligarch Medvedchuk, leader of the main opposition party, in a vain attempt by the Zelensky regime to exchange him for other prisoners.

YESTERDAY 16 April

Summary of Cassad

1. Mariupol.
Ilyich Factory was liberated. In addition to the prisoners, captured material and weapons. The factory suffered serious damage during the fighting, but it may well be restored. Fighting continues in the area of "Azovmash". Most of the Primorsky district has been liberated, but resistance continues there. The enemy concentrated the remaining forces on the defense of Azovstal, retaining the territory of Azovstal itself, as well as the houses of the Left Bank district adjacent to it, where the forces for storming the plant are now concentrated. Azovstal is heavily bombed. The Ukrainian army did not have the ability to break through the encirclement and rescue the remnants of the group, and the Ukrainian General Staff abandoned these plans in mid-March for military reasons.

According to Ukrainian data, up to 14.5 thousand men were surrounded in Mariupol.
Of these, 3-3. 5 thousand still hold out. All the others were killed, wounded, captured, missing in action, deserters or escaped infiltrated in small groups to the Zaporozhye region.

2. Zaporozhe.
The Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyai-Pole front line remains unchanged. There is no heavy fighting here, although both sides are shelling with artillery and rocket launchers. The Russians are working on establishing a railway connection, which will facilitate the group's supply in that direction.
To the east of Gulai-Pole, there is slow fighting for individual villages. No serious progress has yet been made. In the region, Ukrainian flags are being removed, and the work of the new authorities is being adjusted to the best of their ability.

3. Nikolayev.
The parties are not yet engaged in active offensive actions, mainly exchanging strikes (artillery and rocket). Attempts to advance to Kherson caused heavy losses, and here the front tends to stabilize in a positional war. The Forces of Russia methodically cannonade targets in Nikolayev himself, causing great damage to the enemy. Attacks were also carried out in the direction of Krivoy Rog and Nikopol to stop the enemy's activity. Ukrainian forces tried to advance in the Novorontsovka area, and were frequently shelled with rocket launchers. The grouping of forces on both sides has increased in recent weeks. We cannot rule out the activation of this address in the coming weeks.

4. Odessa.
No major changes. No amphibious operations or "breakthroughs" are expected from Transnistria. Part of the forces of the Odessa Volkssturm and one of the brigades were transferred to the Nikolayev leadership. The use of NATO-supported anti-ship missiles will make it more difficult for the Black Sea Fleet to perform tasks in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, but it is unlikely to affect the intensity of missile launches against targets in Ukraine.

Comment: This is assuming that in fact Ukraine has anti-ship missiles and they have sunk the cruiser Moskva.

5. Lugansk.
In Popasnya, the troops are advancing, controlling part of the city center, while the enemy is stubbornly defending itself. Progress is generally slow. Heavy fighting continues in the southern part of Rubizhnoye and on the outskirts of Severodonetsk

6. Marinka-Ugledar-Novomikhailovka-Velikaya Novoselovka.
There hasn't been much progress in these localities yet.

7. Avdeyevka.
In Avdeyevka there are no changes. The usual positional battles in the famous Promko, the industrial zone -North of Avdeyevka, the fighting took place in the area of Novobakhmutovka, Novoselka-2, Troitsky.

8. Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.
The enemy is preparing for a long-term defense, being subjected to systematic missile, air and artillery attacks. The focus is on a tough defense of the cities with the support of the reserve concentrated in the area of Artemovsk, Soledar and Krasnoarmeysk.

9. Kharkiv.
No major changes. The fighting is north and east of the city. The villages north of Kharkov, as well as the northern outskirts of Kharkov, are gradually becoming an analogue of Mariupol. The enemy is accumulating forces near Kharkov to prevent possible Russian army operations to encircle the city. The Chuguev garrison has also been reinforced.

10. Izyum.
The Russian offensive continues in the direction of Slavyansk and Barvenkovo. The enemy sends the main reserves here, which are gradually crushed here in fierce battles. As before, the Russian army has 3 routes here: to Slavyansk, to Barvenkovo and to Pavlograd via Lozovoye. The expected big offensive will show exactly where they are going to get to the Donetsk—Pavlograd highway.
In general, we can talk about the continuation of the operational pause in anticipation of the start of a large-scale offensive of Russian Forces in the Donbass.



Statement of the Russian army (16.04.2022)

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

During the day, 15 enemy targets were hit by high-precision air-launched missiles. Among them:

In the areas of the settlements of Barvenkovo, Rubizhne, Popasnaya, Novozvanovka, Krasnoarmeysk, Selidovo, Novobakhmutovka, six places of concentration of Ukrainian military materiel and seven bastions of Ukrainian troops were destroyed.

As a result of the attacks, more than 320 Ukrainian soldiers were killed and wounded, 23 armored vehicles and seven vehicles for various purposes were destroyed.

Tactical aviation destroyed 67 concentration zones of Ukrainian personnel and materiel during the day.

Missile strikes hit 317 military installations, including: 274 enemy strongholds and troop concentration areas, 24 command posts and two fuel storage facilities.

Russian air defense systems in the Odessa region shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane in the air, carrying a large batch of weapons supplied to Ukraine by Western countries. Two Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down over the settlements of Lozovaya and Veselaya.

In total, since the beginning of the special military operation, 134 aircraft, 460 unmanned aerial vehicles, 246 anti-aircraft missile systems, 2269 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 252 multiple rocket launchers, 987 field artillery guns and mortars, as well as 2158 units of special military vehicles.

The entire urban area of Mariupol has been completely cleared of the militants of the Nazi formation "Azov", foreign mercenaries and Ukrainian troops. The remnants of the Ukrainian group are currently completely blocked on the territory of the Azovstal metallurgical plant. Their only chance to save their lives is to voluntarily lay down their arms and surrender.

Let me remind you that at the time of its encirclement on March 11, there were in Mariupol: the 36th Marine Brigade, the 109th Territorial defense Brigade, the 503rd separate marine battalion, a company of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade, units of the 17th anti-tank brigade, Nazi formations "Azov", "Aidar", "Right Sector", units of the police and state border services, as well as foreign mercenaries.

The total number of this group was about 8,100 people.

During the liberation of Mariupol, 1,464 Ukrainian soldiers have already surrendered. The number of soldiers surrendering is increasing daily. Including those who escaped from the Azovstal territory.

According to their testimonies, the total number of Ukrainian soldiers, Nazis and foreign mercenaries who took refuge in Azovstal does not exceed 2.5 thousand people.

Thus, on April 16, in Mariupol alone, the losses of the Ukrainian group amounted to more than 4,000 people.

Therefore, Zelensky's recent statements to the Western media that the irrecoverable losses of the Ukrainian military during the operation allegedly amount to 2,5-3 thousand are a common lie for him.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has reliable data on the real losses of the Ukrainian army, the National Guard and the arrived foreign mercenaries, which Zelensky is afraid to tell the people of Ukraine. Today, the irretrievable losses amount to 23,367 people (dead, missing, prisoners).

MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS

April 13 - Ukrainian prisoners

War correspondent Sladkov's report on Ukrainian prisoners as time goes on,

UKRAINIAN PRISONERS ARE DIFFERENT EVERY DAY.

The first batch (the prisoners of the first line of trenches and Volnovakha) were as if in suspended animation - complete disorientation, they did not even know that Lugansk and Donetsk were recognized by Russia. Now they are veterans of the movement, they feel comfortable in the Donetsk rear.

The second group, 267 Marines, were organized, orderly, well-fed people, controlled by their commanders. They surrendered of their own accord.

Others tried to escape the encirclement yesterday. They were crushed and many died, their commanders abandoned them, it was not difficult to catch them and force them to surrender. They are dirty, they give off the perfume of a junkyard, and they are dressed randomly.

Another batch, a thousand soldiers, motley, from 20 to 55 years old. Many of them are in civilian clothes, they say that their uniforms are burned. The photo on the ID cards of many people was torn off.

One in three people is injured, and one in ten is seriously injured. They didn't want to give up, but they had to. Then there will be more.

TASS:
Greece not sending any more military equipment to Ukraine — Cabinet of Ministers
The official did not specify whether Athens had previously sent Stinger man-portable air defense systems to Kiev

Greece is not going to send any more military equipment to Ukraine, Greek government spokesman Ioannis Oikonomou confirmed at a briefing on Friday. The official did not specify whether Athens had previously sent Stinger man-portable air defense systems to Kiev.

The cabinet spokesman was asked whether the government plans to send additional military equipment to Ukraine. "There is nothing new in this direction from what has been done so far. Nothing like that is being discussed," Oikonomou said. He noted that the defense equipment Athens has previously sent to Ukraine does not weaken Greece's own defense capabilities. When asked to clarify whether Greece had sent Stinger man-portable air defense systems to Ukraine taken from active units of the Greek army, Oikonomou said: "It is known what defense equipment was sent along with humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Nothing that has been sent weakens the needs and defense capabilities of our country."

In late February, the Greek Ministry of National Defense reported that Greece had sent humanitarian aid and military equipment to Poland for Ukraine on C-130 military transport planes. Greek TV channel Open then reported that 20,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles, confiscated in November 2013 on a ship near the Greek island of Rhodes, in particular, had been sent to Ukraine. Nine years ago, these weapons were seized from the Nour-M ship, which had left a Ukrainian port and was bound for Libya

TASS:
Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov on Sunday said its high-precision air-launched missiles destroyed an ammunition plant near the town of Brovary in the Kiev Region.

"High-precision air-launched missiles destroyed an ammunition plant near the town of Brovary in the Kiev Region during past night," he said.

According to the spokesman, operational-tactical aviation destroyed 68 military targets in Ukraine. "They include two S-300 illumination and guidance locators in the Krivaya Luka and Krasnoarmeysk regions and one Osa AKM anti-aircraft missile system, six depots of rocket and artillery weapons and fuel in the Severodonetsk region," he said.

No word of any bombings yet. Time ran out 15 mins ago.

On another note:

Pentagon officials say that Kyiv is blowing through a week’s worth of deliveries of antitank munitions every day...The U.S. has provided one-third of its overall stockpile of Javelin anti-tank missiles. It cannot easily deliver more...

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-04-14/russia-ukraine-war-u-s-is-running-out-of-weapons-aiding-kyiv

WTF are they using up these weapons on? And at this rate? Are they just selling them on the black market or something? I mean, it's Ukraine, that's kinda their shtick.

Pushilin officially announced "time's up", then local videos with jets thundering and explosions soon started showing up.

edit: More and more TG channels are reporting "mass strikes".

Some guys say mass artillery is getting involved as well. I guess they'll pound the place all day and night now until nothing remains.

One of his favorite "super" weapons of choice is the M982 Excalibur and I believe it is being delivered to the Ukrs as we speak. It won't be long before pictures will start to circulate of this wunderwaffe in Russian hands.

The "super" Javelin proved to be a major disappointment though and even failed to penetrate a T-72B3M from the rear!

The opinion of Tom Cooper an "expert" on Russian / Soviet military issues:

https://medium.com/@x_TomCooper_x/ukraine-war-14-15-april-2022-9c62ec84d11b

I can't comment on his books, since I haven't read them.
Except for comments on forums, pages and in military publications.
Apart from some notes.
With what I read there, you can see a great contempt for the Russians.
Just look at the derogatory way he refers to his Armed Forces.
Everything Russia says is a lie, or not very reliable.
Regarding the sinking of the Moskva, a contradiction appears, on the one hand he does not believe the Russians, but in a separate note he says that the Ukrainian version of the attack does not seem credible to him. And he compares it to the Saratov fire, which for him was an accident and not a Ukrainian attack.
Another fact: some time ago a new military analysis page appeared: "Pucará Defense".
Nothing new except the name. For the rest, it has the same general "pro-Western" positions of that type of Argentine media.
For the analysis of the war in Ukraine, they resort mainly to the transcription of Tom Cooper's opinions in his blog.
There we have by the way, a view of what is the majority of the "specialized press" of Argentina.

The only war that Ukria is able to win at.   That and murdering civilians.

Long-range heavy bomber Tu-22M3 of the Russian Aerospace Forces goes to Azovstal in Mariupol.

Looks like the order took place about an hour ago and tu22m3 and other planes were seen heading there

They might have dropped or are dropping their payloads

Once this show is wrapped up, it's time to start the donbass offensive and bombing like this should be done on the VSU at kramatorsk and Slavyansk

Give them ultimatum, If not response then just start hitting em like azovstal
