Russian special military operation in Ukraine #22

There's been a lot happening. But not much of the results can be seen yet. I guess it will take some time for footage to trickle in

F-head Boris Johnson went to Kiev again.    Common Russia, wtf. There should have been a car bombing in kind, in Kiev as retribution for the one in Moscow. Some will disagree but I think the FSB has to fight fire with fire. They did it vs the Chechen scum. They can do it vs this scum now. Not a journalist or some ones daughter obviously. But just someone in the regime in Kiev

Russia does not need to play by NATzO's rules. Boris can suck Elensky off till both are blue and that will not achieve anything.
Russia not reacting tit for tat totally frustrates NATzO propaganda. Their shtick is to set up a resonance with regular propaganda
spew injections.

It appears that the leaked documents are legit since there is some indication that Elensky may be replaced by Zaluzhny. The
Washington Post is already pushing Elensky under the bus. The Washington Post is the mouthpiece of the US political class and
not some random rag. So the document leak was the usual PR "expert" infighting.

But I will state again that the estimate of their losses is pulled from some Banderite's anus. The Kiev regime talks about "stabilizing"
the front and readiness to turn the tide. Apparently, they are all on crack.

The MLRS and artillery pockmarks do not indicate a precision attack format. At the end of the day it is the same old artillery
barrage approach. Maybe in the future there will be high yield precision missile attacks based on real time observations of
enemy forces.

Nice footage of small Russian drones attacking Ukrainian positions. Apologies it's a FB page.

Maybe i spoke a tad soon

6 explosions in Kiev.

Missiles were launched from Belarus with no air raid warning. Either someone was asleep at command or Ukraine is having serious radar issues. This should not be the city to have unexpected arrivals.

Lukashenko has a good sense of humor

Kiev getting fucked

Kiev oblast received no air raid warning before Russian missiles hit their targets. The missiles were either launched from a very high altitude, or alternatively, Russian EW is working overtime from Belarus. Krasukha-4 is capable of this range.

"Ukraina derived from the word ukrast (to steal)."

A fitting joke I heard from a Ukraine born analyst on one of the Russian shows covering the war. It is fitting because the whole
Ukr identity is framed as anti-Russian. It is not pro-Ukrainian but some sort of absurd construct that steals Russian history
and involves hate for Russia. Most other nations do not frame their identity this way. The British don't define themselves as
anti-French or anti-German. They are British (well, English, Scots, Welsh and Irish) and the existence of France or Germany does
not figure in this. Ukria steals Russian history by claiming that Kievan Rus was "Ukraine". There is no reference to "Ukraine" in any
historical document (e.g. beresty). There was no Ukria until after the Polish-Lithuanian occupation of the lands spanning the western
half of the Kievan Rus lands including Kiev. The Ukrian identity is the result of assimilation into the Catholic world and anti-Russian
agendas of foreign states.

The current war is the inevitable progression of the anti-Russian ethnic nationalism that underpins the independent state of Ukria.
The problem for the nationalists is that there are too many non-Ukrians in Ukria. They cannot handle this diversity. Ukria for Ukrians.
So either you convert the non-Ukrians into Ukrians or you get rid of them. This is not a tiny percentage of the population. The linguistic
map of Ukria indicates that its from 30 to 50%. But it is not a binary state and there is an identity grey zone.

There was also a priest stabbed to death in Domodedovo.

Nobody ask "what NATO AEW are doing ?"

Some good news

I know there are those here who still think (or wish) that Russia has run out of cruise missiles. And this text denies that, because Russia launched a 3M-14 Kalibr cruise missile a few days ago in an exercise. It is obvious that these missiles are also available for practice shooting. And not only that, but those missiles are produced and sold to foreign customers.

The small missile ship "Mytishchi" of the Baltic Fleet successfully fired a cruise missile "Kalibr" at a ground target in the White Sea. This was reported on August 23 in the press service of the fleet.

“As part of the planned combat training of the forces of the Baltic Fleet, the Mytishchi small missile ship in the White Sea successfully fired a cruise missile of the Kalibr sea-based complex at a coastal target at the Chizha training ground,” the message says.

The press service clarified that the missile firing was preceded by a difficult inter-naval transition across the Baltic Sea to the Gulf of Finland, then along inland waterways through the Neva, Lake Ladoga and the White Sea-Baltic Canal to the White Sea. On the Northern Fleet, the MKR "Mytishchi" made a call to Severodvinsk. In total, the ship's crew covered more than 2 thousand nautical miles (about 3.7 thousand km).

It is noted that in the near future the ship will make the transition by the same route to the place of permanent deployment to the Baltic naval base in the city of Baltiysk, Kaliningrad region.

Earlier, on August 17, the head of Rosoboronexport, Alexander Mikheev, said that Russia was selling analogue versions of Kalibr missiles abroad. According to him, they are in great demand among foreign operators of Russian submarines and surface ships. In addition, it is possible to install these complexes on foreign-made ships.

On July 27, it became known that the oldest submarine of the Black Sea Fleet (BSF), Alrosa, equipped with Caliber missiles, will go to sea for the first time in eight years to undergo tests.

Kalibr is a family of Russian long-range cruise missiles that equip modern Russian ships and submarines.

As it turned out, this figure is intended only for the population of Ukraine, but for the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Danilov, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny prepared completely different figures, and they are radically different from those mentioned above. In response to a request from the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine about the losses of the Ukrainian army since the beginning of the special operation, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine issued information about almost 130,000 people who were out of action. According to the report, signed by the same Zaluzhny, as of July 1, 2022, 76,640 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed, 42,704 people were out of action due to injuries, 7,244 soldiers were captured and another 2,816 went missing. The document notes that these are only the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the losses of other law enforcement agencies were not taken into account when compiling it.

These numbers were debated last week however did not have time to comment so:
1 - no sure way to ensure they are correct however if so...
2 - article states as of July 1st or 18 weeks into a now 26 week war
3 - covers only the Armed Forces which numbered ~ 240,000 at the start so 50%+
4 - "42,704 people were out of action due to injuries" not 42,000 injured. These would be those that could not be patched up and put back into the lines ie seriously wounded.

MOSCOW, August 25 - RIA Novosti. The Russian military destroyed a Ukrainian military train at a railway station in the Dnepropetrovsk region, the Ministry of Defense reported.

In addition, the Russian army also carried out strikes on other military facilities on the territory of Ukraine. So, in Zaporozhye, the production shops of the Iskra plant were hit, where they repaired air defense and counter-battery radar stations, as well as the buildings of the Migremont aircraft repair plant, in which Ukrainian aviation equipment was restored. In the Khmelnitsky region, a missile strike destroyed the shops for the repair of armored vehicles and multiple launch rocket systems in Shepetivka.

Two more strikes hit airfields - three planes of the Ukrainian Air Force were destroyed in Dnieper, and two in Mirgorod (Poltava region), three more were critically damaged. The loss of the enemy in manpower there amounted to 30 people. And in the Novy Bug area in the Nikolaev region, rockets hit the command post of the Ukrainian Kakhovka group. 64 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and seven units of military equipment were liquidated there.
