Russian special military operation in Ukraine #35

Why post a suicide?

Lots of missile strikes this morning. AD systems seem to be the primary targets this time around. Some electrical substations also hit in the western parts, big outages reported.

When hole posted doomer cartoon , I thought it was his personal art work ! However I discovered that doomerism is a genuine genres in Art . I think this video can be misleading , the trooper being shell shocked , probably intended to throw the grenade , before he passed out from injuries . Russian troopers do not have far to go now . It is a matter of liberating the small areas in the four oblasts . Not far to go now . Not far..........

Since even liberating these oblast may not lead to cease-fire , because Nazis get paid by NATO to fight Russia and stay in power , and not because Ukraine people want them in power , then these type of drone attacks may continue for a while . Building concrete bunkers difficult under fire , therefore solution may be to cover the bunker with ballistic blanket or springy netting or ordinary canvas on poles ,  to bounce- off these bomblets .

After arrivals in Western Ukraine (explosions are reported in the Lviv and Ivano-Frankovsk regions), blackouts began in a number of cities.
There are also arrivals in Odessa, Ochakov, Zaporozhye (region), Kharkov region. In Odessa, the electricity and water were turned off. Cellular and internet outages.
Since the beginning of the attack, there have been reports that in addition to attacks on infrastructure, the Russian Aerospace Forces are hitting the positions of Ukrainian air defense crews in a number of areas (previously it was reported about the defeat of air defense systems in Odessa, destroyed after they worked on a false target).

A missile attack was carried out on the clusters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kramatorsk

Is it Monday?
I have lost the time schedule due to that Xmas

Something was shot down on the outskirts of Saratov/Engels.

Tu-141?

Todays distribution of strikes.



Not all is marked yet. Not all missile numbers are known. Yet, most of the targets are reported to be granted with 2-3 missiles. If we take for granted that Arestovich barked about "more than 100 missiles" and we know that some of those were decoys, it seems that the efficiency of Ukrs in intercepting the strikes is close to zero.
But the remains of 5V55 did hit some houses and parkings, so nothing new here

What air defence doing?





Substation in Usatovo burning, Odessa

But the remains of 5V55 did hit some houses and parkings, so nothing new here

Ivano-Frankivsk

Sources claim that first wave consisted mostly of decoys and the second targeted AD systems.

Edit : I was busy making coffee in a meantime and Hole was first

This time no tractor was hurt, and no war with Belarus yet as they managed to hit Brest oblast this time.



Parking in Kiev is not safe neither ...

Fiesta continous. New arrivals reported across the 404.

A second attempted attack on Engels was thwarted just now. Another drone shot down in the area.

Photos/videos of the first interception and some remains on the ground have shown up, but it's not good enough for a positive ID. I am quite confident that it's another Strizh retrofitted with GNS guidance though.

Meanwhile, a big drone of some sort was intercepted in Belgorod too, together with a bunch of rockets.

There is no doubt in my mind any longer that Kiev *wants* to provoke a tactical nuclear strike. They don't care about the implications, all the dead Ukrainians, it's all about trying to kickstart WW3. Like an abusive, jealous ex husband or wife going apeshit killing the former spouse and then killing him/herself anyway. Some retarded form of satisfaction is derived from this mental rot.

Cmn', a strategic aviation base hosting bombers that are carrying daily attacks on you makes it a perfectly legitimate military target.
Those drones will be just intercepted, the very same way Russkie do with Syrian bases.
Those "successful attacks" we had till now were carried out by small commercial drones from extremely close range.
Anything bigger, even if attempted, is just being taken down.
Nobody has the tools to cover that niche yet.
In one of the cases, it was a guard who noticed the drone with his eyes.
The same as when we had a massive naval drones attack - spotters on board saw them, while it is next to impossible to find such an object in such harsh weather we had there.

In order to compensate for the loss of Russian revenues due to Putin's ban on the European oil price caps, China has started to increase its own energy consumption by lifting its Covid-restrictions - at least that is what J. Hinkle believes. It may also be possible that China lifted the restrictions because of the Chinese protests. Whatever the reason might be, China's demand is a smack in the face of those European amateur strategists.

Chinese business was instructed to go full steam ahead more than a month ago.
All my friend's factories pushed for orders like crazy.
And they will slow down in a few days - Rabbit Year begins in 3 weeks, and that means a closing of all Chinese factories for at least a week. Some of my friends will have a 3 weeks of CNY holidays. China will cease to operate till early February.

They haven't provided any.
Maybe they are counting the ones they transferred to the other EU states for their deliveries, yet still does not adds up.

I know that Germany wanted to deliver 50 Dingo APC. 30 Dingos were delivered for sure!

Other tanks were delivered in some kind of exchange called "Ringtausch". Germany deliverd to ex Warsaw pact states tanks and IFV and they delivered the old soviet stuff to Ukraine.
