Russian special military operation in Ukraine #22

Slavyangrad (Gleb Bazov)

Peski has been liberated—according to DNR People's Militia.

Deputy commander of a battalion of the 11th Regiment of the Donetsk Republic's People's Militia has advised RT in an interview:

"Peski is completely ours, we are already on the outskirts of Peski. We are moving further. Today it was a bit hot. There was artillery shelling of the city, including against our positions. But our guys are working. There is still fighting, but we are already on the outskirts of Peski."

Good news from the Artemovsky direction. PMC "Wagner" with the support of the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces broke into the enemy's defenses and was able to enter Artemovsk. Now the fighting is taking place on Patrice Lumumba Street.

Artillery crews taken prisoner should have the book thrown at them and be investigated for involvement in war crimes. The slightest hint that they shot deliberately at civilian infrastructure and off to Siberia to pickaxe ore for a living.. for quite a long living actually

Everyone else taken prisoner should be treated indeed, like someone taken into the precinct. Arrested, put in a cell, bedding/water/food, pending investigation or release or exchange.

DNR forces a while back announced that no Ukie artillery crews would be taken prisoner. Simpler and cheaper that way.

I'm not a softie when it comes to people who potentially put women and children at risk or can be accused of having deliberately targeted such - but I tend to think summary executions bring more trouble than they're worth, and a decade or two decade's long's foray as slave labour on remote mines and railroads to keep busy those that have decided to occupy their life with war crimes - would be rather more profitable for the state. Germans and Japanese POWs after all weren't executed either and the work they carried out building up infrastructure, factories and various facilities. Where would Perm Krai or Magadan be without them?

“This house was built by German war prisoners” – Russians still say with respect about 1950s buildings, some of them really built by Germans

Russia should, really, hit something in Kiev as a payback for everyday shelling of civilians in Donbas. It is becoming completely ridiculous at this point.

Great example of counter battery fire with the help of drone

It doesn't look like it's Javelin.

First time I am seeing this. Brimstone?

First of all, it is not top attack for sure, as it is described.

All the smug yapping about how Russia's campaign is stalled is for retards.   But the clowns in NATzO are starting to panic and
now we have Elensky being framed as the fall guy.  

More and more uncomfortable questions are being asked.
For a while, a message to the audience contests the "democracy" of the Ukro regime.
Something that was unimaginable 2-3 months ago.
Now, the totalitarian face of the regime is described openly, even in MSM like Sky or Fox.
Winter is coming.
A much discussed "crop" issue has nothing to do with crops in reality, there is hardly any crop left in Ukro.
But undercover a much more important deal was signed. Russian-made fertilizers are being already shipped to the US, with silent acclamation by the UN. Money loves silence.
More and more Russian business is being excluded from the sanctioning list, let it be metallurgy, oil, agro ...
The German chancellor was busy searching for a missing turbine on his own, only to hear that it is not good enough now because Gazprom doesn't like it to be sanctioned
Nobody is discussing the Hungarian position toward Russian energy sources, and that has said openly that have no interest in making any kind of volta. Having a 10-year contract with $280, I wouldn't either
More and more countries will follow, first silently.
An the end of a road, what will be left is the most rusophobic countries in Europe standing alone.

And from the military perspective, Russkies did the opposite of what was planned for them for years by the NATO advisers.
They give a shit about public opinion pressure, a twitter war and all that shit, but doing their job like a bloody road roller.
Each day is bringing new toys to the frontline. A fun fact : in February, Ukro army had about 80 pcs of 9K58 Smerch.
Each Smerch is about 3x the combat potential of HIMARS.
They don't have Smerch anymore
Now consider the HIMARS wanking from this perspective
It is a commercial campaign, nothing more. Poland is bullshiting about acquiring 500pcs of it, which is an obvious joke but some will be purchased for sure. And all the other NATO member states will do. It is just business as usual.
More and more troops are battle-hardened. Casualties are minimal, keeping the spirit high. Public opinion in Russia runs patriotic havoc, for the first time in 40 years troops returning home are being greeted as heroes.
Russian MIC is running smooth, more and more echelons are dispatched from storage bases to the factories for reconstruction. 80 pcs of Pion 203mm cannons are missing from one of a storage bases, all of them already transferred to the factory for upgrade. This war can be as long as they want.

The Rat underground shelter can be as deep as they like , the entrances have to be at ground level , also air - ventilation is needed . Even if these entrances are camouflaged in the visible range , they are visible ( temperature of air exiting ) in the IR range . This is the way Americans discovered and destroyed many underground bunkers and buried Tanks and Aircraft in Iraq and destroyed them . Need IR camera on drone ( or ground operator ) to loiter , closer to ground ? Or use vibration detection and detect tunnels by setting up vibration and comparing signals ( base - line ) to similar ground . Using existing equipment .

During metro construction, unidentified cavities pose a serious threat to the integrity of the tunnels and public safety. An efficient and accurate cavity‐detection method is needed, given the limited space and time constraints of urban construction. Equivalent offset migration is a high‐accuracy, seismic scattered‐wave imaging method that is effective in wavefield extraction, has the ability to derive the wavefield outside the range of the source–receiver points and can use imaging data for areas with poor signal‐to‐noise ratios. In this study, we consider a stratified subsurface structure and the geological conditions of a city and construct a typical urban cavity geological model to study the characteristics of cavity‐scattered waves. In numerical studies, equivalent offset migration is superior to Kirchhoff post‐stack migration in the case of seismic scattered‐wave imaging. A fast‐moving detection device for urban construction conditions is designed to meet the data‐acquisition requirements on the basis of the scattered‐wave characteristics and equivalent offset migration method. Efficient acquisition and accurate detection are confirmed, with the detected depth deviating by less than 1 m compared to the depth obtained from borehole checks along the Xuzhou Metro Line 1 in China. The results show that cavity detection using seismic scattered waves can meet urban engineering requirements. Further study on the design of a high‐performance detection device, reception and extraction of weakly scattered waves, and scattered‐wave recognition and interpretation techniques for different targets will be helpful in solving cavity‐detection problems in urban engineering.

Edit : drone lowers to ground this device , works to 25 meters ! Will they sell to Russia ? Maybe a little more gas ?

Apparently Arestovich is not just a lying sack of shit, but he's a cross-dresser and pervert as well... yeeeeeah it figures I guess.

His "female name" is Lucia...

Apologies for posting the following, but this is what the Bandera crazies have descended to in their madness....

Lusia is whining that Iran has already delivered 46 drones to Russia, and those are actively used.
Not that I would put much attention to what this notorious liar is saying, but the info is coming and coming from different directions.
There is no smoke without fire.
While Erdo is going to Sochi at the very moment to bold the fact of Russian isolation ...

Very fitting as the entire country is filled with prostitutes.

What do you think the Ukrainian women do in Europe with their men stuck in Kokaina?

By the way there is a little change in attitude to these crimes happening. Outrage is still there but not most people state that it is a "good" sign.
The Russian Army is moving forward, crushing the Nazis and the only way they can retaliate is by shelling civilian areas. NATO is desperate. In a
few days the defensive lines will be breached and then the Nazis will run for their lifes.

Bombing both is a also a way to go. Kill the general staff and the ants are running left and right on the front totally lost.

Defensive lines can be breached in matter of hours with su-24/34 launching 1000 of fab-500 in one night operation. This doesn't seem to be what they want. A fixed war is better for them as the ukrainians keep sending soldier there where russians enhoy total advantage.

If russians quickly push 300km inside ukrainian territories they will loose as much as during the first week push if not more.

Pushing inside defensive line deep into enemy territory comes huge losses for the attacker. Specially in modern wars where atgms, snipers, modern mines and drones can strike at safe distance.

The first push was needed. Another one right now not so much.

1. As Airbornewolf stated, the geneal staff in Kiev is useless. I would say it wouldn´t even matter if NATO in Brussels were bombed. They´re behaving like headless chickens anyway.

2. Any other day some command and control facility of some brigade is hit, the days after that the subordinated units are getting hammered. See also

https://sonar21.com/new-batches-of-ukrainian-troops-quitting-the-fight-as-russia-grinds-on/

3. Russian artillery is hitting enemy positions with the equivalent of 5.000+ FAB-500 bombs daily. It´s not so easy to destroy fortifications, dugouts and trenches. Look at Vietnam. More bombs dropped then in the entire WWII with little success. A tunnel 2 metres underground and a whole bombing campaign was in vain.

Maps and a cat 

Very hot! 

It seems the offensive over a wide front in Donetsk has intensified, probably VSU has difficulties to man all of it and allies are taking advantage, making attacks of opportunity all over it. So we have parallel breakthroughs at Maryinka, Adviivka, Artemovsk and Soledar and it may well happen that any of those cities falls in the shortest term, or even several of them, what would really mean a turning point in the battle for Donbass. Eliminating 1000+ ukie fighters per day, the time will come when there is no more cannon fodder to grind, the nazis and their masters should be aware of that...

Ukropisstains karma account is massively overdrawn, and the Reaper is coming to extract what is owed  

Blood, treasure, and their first born.  The banderites have plenty of options for making payment.

Ukrainian channels are discussing what might be a leaked data from AFU General Staff:

- The AFU are only 43-48% complete;
- medical workers at the limit of their strength: the seriously wounded are transported to Europe;
- small arms and bulletproof vests are not enough;
- about 191 thousand soldiers were killed and wounded;
- there is not enough hydraulics and liquid nitrogen for M777 howitzers;
- no one cares about the missing - there are no statistics;
- the equipment transferred by the West is running out;
- Western weapons are operated by amateurs, since there are no qualified specialists;
- there is no way to repair weapons on the spot due to the lack of spare parts and specialists - everything is sent to Poland;
– the moral and psychological state of the Ukrainian military is practically at zero: even campaigns of encouragement in social networks and concerts do not help.

Thus, judging by the leaked information, the Armed Forces of Ukraine in their deplorable state will not last long.

I would have said ca. 200k casualties is consistent with the numbers we get from the MoD plus what we don't know and results from artillery and infantry battles, where we know from several accounts that whole ukie units are depleted and replaced, only to be annihilated again few hours later. The level of repression NATzO has to be applying to keep the show going on needs to be outright insane and will certainly lead to power structures within the "government" and the armed forces to blow up at a certain point and ending this whole madness with a big bang, essentially finishing the Ukraine that we know.

If America is persistently attempting to destabilise the Russian world, why isn't Russia doing the same back?

Its like punching an attacking fist, or blocking a fist without ever punching back.

And that lack of punching back is the reason why only 1% of the Americans consider Russia a big threat. Some mischievous retaliation will do not damage US in any substantial way, but will be a bonanza for the Western propaganda machine, so it is just a silly and childish way of losing focus, moral high ground and the increasing support of the Western population.

The United States is an overgrown toddler having a temper tantrum because it's losing its toy. Oh sure, we've all seen the embarrassed parents of a toddler having temper tantrum, and most of us have experienced a child having a temper tantrum. Oh sure, the feeling is to pick up the kid and shake him and slap some sense into him but that does nothing to stop the behavior from happening again in future, and is widely considered child abuse. Your best course of action is to ignore the little bugger. Same with the US and its mega temper tantrum.

lol, that's way old news already

They will continue to hit military targets and not be lured into a downward spiral of hate that the west is locked in.

Instant Justice normally just looks like Revenge and is often misplaced and not as satisfying as seeing the guilty suffer for their crimes instead of random people in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hard to believe but not everyone in Kiev is the enemy.

Nice... the towed version of the gun in MSTA... the Soviet/Russian equivalent of the M777 but heavier and not so fragile.

Edit : drone lowers to ground this device , works to 25 meters ! Will they sell to Russia ? Maybe a little more gas ?

The Soviets dealt with tunnels in Afghanistan in the 1980s... they know what they are doing... some very specialist equipment too...

Figures why such nazis are so popular in the west... those leather shorts... they really were ahead of their time...

Ukrainian women are known for their love of Cocainia...

A real fight between Russia and the west would quickly and easily lead to WWIII and therefore suicide for everyone... something they would rather avoid.

The west winning its own propaganda war means nothing if Russia plans to have no or minimal future relations with them.

Remaining on task is what is needed... get the job done and done right and later on reflect on who was behind it and why and recognise that and talk to the west about that when they want fuel or metal or other products or resources from Russia and want to know why it is not available or it is so expensive.

Oh sure, the feeling is to pick up the kid and shake him and slap some sense into him but that does nothing to stop the behavior from happening again in future, and is widely considered child abuse.

Very much agree, but in this case it is not your kid so you have no right to pick the little shit up and shake some sense in him... his parents are nearby with loaded guns just itching for justification to take a shot at you... don't give them the satisfaction.

Right now Russia is sorting the problem out... that is pretty clear now even if it wasn't clear on day one or day ten.

Russia has had it with the west and will not waste a lot of time in the future trying to mend bridges and rebuild ties... it is clear they are the enemy and there is no future for Russia there working with such people.

No need for tantrums or begging or any BS... let it go and move on... the rest of the world is out there wanting trade and relations with a country that can replace the evil west in a way they make a profit and benefit and grow from trade along with Russia too... something they never got from the west... all those strings were ropes holding their hands and feet and limiting their breathing to what the west wanted... to keep them from becoming successful...

Is there a seeming lack of the use of KAB-500S PGMs? Their drop altitude of 5KM or less seems lackluster. JDAM has reportedly been dropped from 15KM.

Why not use these in conjunction with artillery? Still worried about Buks and S-300s lurking? Nothing else can hit above 10KM altitude.

The lack of information about what weapons are being used and how does not equate to a lack of use of weapons.

If Russia needs to hit hard targets they have a range of guided weapons in a range of types and weight classes... including laser and TV and satellite guided weapons.

JDAM range from the equivalent of 250kg bombs through to the equivalent of 1,000kg bombs... no 1,500kg versions, which is a bit weak isn't it?

And we already know GPS can be jammed and effected on the battlefield.... do they have TV and Laser guided weapons in those weight ranges?

Seems like Malik and Pion and Tulip are preferred for getting the job done 24/7.
