Russian special military operation in Ukraine #33

From MoA.

As is generally the case Gilbert Doctorow, in St Petersburg/Petrograd, has interesting news:

"..there is (in Tsarkoy Selo) a military hospital of national importance. It is from the latter that today’s news comes.

"My acquaintance tells me that the hospital is now filled with wounded Russian soldiers from the Ukraine campaign, and in particular with maimed POWs who were released by the Ukrainian authorities in prisoner exchanges. The hospitalized include a good many traumatized soldiers who were savagely castrated or otherwise disabled by their Ukrainian captors.

"If publicized, these cases would be far more inflammatory in broad Russian society than the horrendous video which circulated in social media a week ago showing the brutal execution of a dozen disarmed Russian POWs by jubilant Ukrainian soldiers. Clearly, the Kremlin is holding this back, lest detailed knowledge of the Ukrainian brutality unleash violent emotions in the Russian public.

"In these circumstances, I call attention to the very difficult balancing act required of the Russian President. The man has nerves of steel. He is surely under great pressure from the patriotic hard-liners in the Kremlin who are au courant about the castrations and other evidence of Ukrainian depravity. One nod from Vladimir Vladimirovich and Kiev would be leveled to the ground in a matter of hours. It is tragic that Washington and Brussels confuse this restraint with incompetence, fear and other nonsense..."

I already said they will go for the tupolevs using the cover it is ukros attacking them. They are in the open and a drones with a granade is enough to destroy them if they are full of fuel.

US are targetting russian strategic forces. And next can be damaging subs specially the ones carrying poseidon.

They are playing with fire since this can be interpeted as a first strike to destroy russia's nuclear triade.

Note the clean trenches and anti drone netting (both to hide under and hopefully deflect or cause not to impact explode munitions). Smaller mesh that camo netting, looks like the stuff I use in my garden to keep birds off my crops.

Any evidence, official statement or the like that would indicate some new type of long range attack?

Given the very long history of the SAS in particular, the Russians should have been expecting this kind of long range attack as NATO SF will have been teaching the Ukies exactly this kind of tactic.

Map of Military Operations and the Situation on the Fronts on the Evening of 4 Dec 2022; pub. 0:05:zap:

    The situation in the #Artemovsk direction has long resembled Verdun in 1916. The situation for the AFU is so dire that even Zelensky cannot fail to admit it. And today some good news came out of the thick of it. Georgian Legion militants have been encircled by the Russian army. The information was confirmed by both the Ukrainian OP and the foreign fighters themselves. It is these barbarians who are involved in the brutal massacre of Russian soldiers in the #Kiev region, they also took part in the torture and abuse of our prisoners of war. It seems that retribution is on the way.

    The Situation on the Fronts in the outgoing 24 Hours

   #Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

   With strikes on the AFU positions near #Novoselovskoye, the militants' attempt to attack in the direction of #Kuzemovka was thwarted. Also militants unsuccessfully tried to attack our positions in the direction of #Ploshchanka, #Chervonopopovka, as well as #Zhytlovka LPR. In addition, attacks by AFU assault groups in the direction of #Kremennaya were thwarted near Serebryanskoye Lesnichestvo, and three SRGs were destroyed near Chervonaya Dibrova. As a result, the militants in this direction lost over 80 nationalists killed and wounded, one tank, a BMP and an armoured vehicle.

   #Ugledar Direction:

   The militants attempted to break through to #Pavlovka, but were forced out by the Russian army into minefields and destroyed by artillery fire. In the #Shevchenko area, the Ukrainian attacks also ended in heavy losses, the enemy being pushed back to their initial positions by assault air strikes.

    A Ukrainian Su-25 was shot down by Russian Air Force fighter aircraft near #Krasnoarmeysk in the DPR. Two US-made AN/TPQ-37 anti-radar counter-battery warfare stations were destroyed in the #Grigorovka and #Markovo districts of the DPR.

    Today is a tough day for Russian army aviation. Militants using Buk SAMs shot down our Ka-52 attack helicopter. Both crew members were killed. The eternal heroes of the sky have six Orders of Courage for two. The guys are presented with Russia's highest awards - the Gold Stars of Heroes. Posthumously.

Russia has taken the issue of defence in new territories seriously and is building powerful fortifications.

Russian military correspondent Aleksandr Kots said this on the air of Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda:

"We have now started to approach defence in a completely different way." I travelled from Kherson to Luhansk, and on all breakthrough sections, there is now literally construction of fortifications on an industrial scale, and I take my hat off to civilian builders who build trenches, anti-tank moats, and anti-tank shafts in the danger zone, and there are concrete pillboxes being dug into the ground and bunkers being lined with linings.

Not the soldier with a shovel is digging himself, but professional builders are doing it all. Those "dragon's teeth" that go along the defence line for a kilometre in three rows of concrete triangles so that the tanks cannot go through them These are all done by civilian builders, the courageous ones. "In fact, they do their duty in the strike zone of Ukrainian artillery," said the military correspondent.

This is getting irritating. Russia should just declare an all out war and turn Pukraine into a sea of fire already. Kill everyone including NATzO Pigs in occupied Pukraine

Kabooming started as we speak.
Ukro sources are citing 14 Tu-95s and confirmed strikes from the Black Sea.
It's Monday, you know ...
