    It means the number of zeros so we talk 1000+?

    I have always used 3 digits as literally that i.e. up to 999 in numerals.

    1000 is 3 zeros, 10,000 4 zeros etc. More often now, although technically wrong (as a binary k is 1024), 1k, 10k etc.

    -- GEROMAN -- time will tell - 👀 --

    3h • 6 tweets • 2 min read

    The Ukranian army was armed and trained by NATO to take back the Donbas - they tried to form a NATO force with modern SOF warfare. Russia just switched the game and forced them to fight a classical WW2 style high ammo game.

    West run out of ammo.
    And lost.

    Interviews with soldiers told us:

    They trained us to take it over with special forces tactics - now we sit in a trench and wait till the Russian wipe us out with artillery like in a bad WW2 or even WW1 movie.
    When we fire one shell - they fire 8 or ten.
    West was not prepared for that.
    No high level ammo production.
    No counter artillery in a right capacity.
    Modern drones had no chance against RF AD.

    And by waging a static defense game - because of lost mobility - the game was set. The only successful actions were in the beginning - when AFU could play the game their way. Small units attack RF thin lines of supply and communication.

    And then the take back of Kharkov. Well organised small highly trained units did what they have learned - and won a battle.

    The war became static since then - and Russia was even forced to shorten the lines. They retreated - in a very professional way out of northern Kherson. Russia did what it could best - retreating when a fight is too costly. And they did that very very well.

    Then the war switched to a war of attrition. And also that in favor of Russia.

    But now the face of war will change again.

    And soon you will see the results.

    💥💥The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of the village of Lobkove in the Zaporozhye region, in the area of Kamianske (also Zaporozhye region) a hangar with equipment was destroyed, Ukrainian losses per day in this direction amounted to 90 people💥💥

    30km from Zaporozhye-

    If they can create buffer space would be good before Ukros counter

    Also there are reports Marinka has been taken

    💥💥
    🏘️Small Shcherbaki
    🏘️Pubic
    🏘️ Orekhov

    The offensive in the Zaporozhye direction continues. After taking control of us. point Lobkovoe, the RF Armed Forces liberated Malye Shcherbaki!
    💥💥

    Guys I remind, if Marinka falls, Gulyaipolye will be irrelevant due to the pressure on Kurakhovo-

    There's big things occurring in this sector

    Reports that Male Scherbky liberated.
    47.55138585588355, 35.56575641197334
    Clashing continues and closing Orekhov. It is one of the main road junctions there.
    Interestingly fact, the frontline is being crushed there because lots of Ukrowehrmacht was shifted to Artemovsk.
    Now they are being grinded along the entire contact line, and the whole situation looks like battlefield reshaping before major offensive if you ask me.

    New Wunderwaffe hype is rising.

    You seem to be going through some kind of catharsis. I'm not sure in which country in the West you lived, but from personal experience, Swedes are the worst at virtue signaling, and at the same time, chauvinist people in Europe. I would say Danish are close second, but they are same garbage. So welcome to reality bro. Red pill and all. 😉

    I guess the russian MOD is toying with the idea I was repeating for the last 8 months: slow grinding assault on the zaporozhie front. I really fucking hope its not some bullshit failure like Bolshaya Novosyolka or ultralimited tactical offensive like Pavlovka.

    As for maryinka, Weeb Union war updates, one of the best SMO mappers together with military summary, mentioned that we cannot expect any breakthrogh, more than 1-2km if at least 1 of these 4 fortresses i held by the ukrainian swinedogs: Pesky, Maryinka, Krasnogorvka, Avdeyevka. If even 1 of these fortresses holds, there can be no popasnaya style flower.

    So far its 1 and a half down, with avdeevka being impossible to take, or even be encircled. Thats why a zaporozhie or south donbass offensive to take ugledar is super important. \

    There was no battle. Just 500 policemen retreating orderly.
    NATO used te same tactic as Daesh in that area, sending lightly armed guys in SUVs
    towards towns.

    Is that a real thing or a photoshop?

    Twitter news:
    Over the past few hours, the Russian Armed Forces have delivered several strikes on APU facilities:

    Information about the explosion in the Yuzhny region has not been confirmed
    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #36 - Page 31 25aaIn the Kherson region, Russian Geran-2 kamikaze UAVs hit targets in the Berislav region and the vicinity of Kherson.
    At the same time, local sources report an arrival in the Nikolaev region.

    Marinka would make the most sense, they're already there in the high rises, and they're pressuring Ukros from Zaporozhye front

    Taking Marinka means you get behind Gulyaipolye and the whole sector leading to Dnepro is then in operational encirclement

    Liveuamaps is western source, and they are updating the marinka map

    So imo this is close to falling soon and it would make more sense than charging Avdeyevka or Pervomaisk

    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #36 - Page 31 Img_2255

    I guess it's confirmed , there is no Ukro grouping here, otherwise they'd fight for every inch

    It's time to go all out here

    By the way, they have a funny triplane model hanging from the ceiling over Red Baron restaurant there Very Happy I really enjoyed it!

    Edit :
    https://t.me/c/1638135777/9996
    Pancyrs were spotted in the vicinity of Ново-Огарёво, the presidential residence is located there.
    Seems that Russkie are pretty sure that Ukrs will stage some twitter victories to satisfy the sponsors, so just ... getting ready.

    Edit 2 :
    That goes fast ...
    47.56191458053118, 35.79106281261048

    All the settlements south of Orekhov liberated. Malye Shcherbaki, Shcherbaki, Novoandreevka, Novodanilovka, Malaya Tokmachka, Belogorye. Orekhov to follow, very soon.
    Looks like a really serious offensive out there.

    Saw an interesting tweet within the last couple of days but cannot locate now however the gist is:

    First the Russian demilitarized the Ukrainian FSU military equipment.

    Next they demilitarized all the FSU military equipment that NATO had or could buy from 3rd parties for the Ukrainians.

    Now they starting to demilitarize all of NATO's reserve equipment.

    Then it will have to be NATO operational equipment.

    PS... wonder what runs out first, equipment or Ukrainian soldiers?

    Ukrowehrmacht.
    Wagner reported that the average POW age is ABOVE 40.
    Sure we can consider that those are the more intelligent ones ...
    Just take a look at them. They lack teeth, claiming to be born in 1985 look like a 50y/o.
    These calls of mobilizing the refugees are not new and didn't come out of nowhere.
    The issue is, that most male refugees are the ones that came with the first wave, after 2014.
    Ukro borders were closed to ordinary males very, very soon.
    Actually my friends from Kiev couldn't leave being a woman, only with medical specialization.
    So we are talking about Russian-speaking guys, most of whom run away from the nazi junta ethnic cleansing.
    Good luck mobilizing them for being ground by the Russkie Laughing It will be fun to watch!

    A broad offensive of the Russian army really began in Zaporozhye. The administration of the Zaporozhye region announces the release of a number of settlements already: Malye Shcherbaki, Shcherbaki, Novoandreevka, Novodanilovka, Malaya Tokmachka, Belogorye

    Ukraine moved part of it's forces to Artemovsk leaving Zaporozhye defence with holes

    Definitely the Ukrainian soldiers!

    The Ukrainians are slowly starting to see the ugly side of their reign of terror. Some of the soldiers at the front are already extremely demotivated. You can already see the internal struggles in the Ukronazi government. House of cards will collapse soon...only a few months away!

    Saw a similar Tweet after Denmark "donated" all her modern Howitzers to 404.
    All western politicians claim the Ukros are defending "us" (= the glorious west) against evil Russkies.
    If they fail we are all doomed.
    Doooooomed!!!!
    Which wouldn´t be a surprise after western politicians gave all weapons to defend their own countries away!

    I have been unable to update the war journal due to family issues, today I wrote a half-assed summary just to keep it going and allow readers to comment, the comments section is well worth reading, and then I added updates as the breakthrough in Zaporozhe was confirmed
