Russian special military operation in Ukraine #42

It looks like the Ukrs are now politically committed to the offensive . They can simply not turn back and loose face . They and their Anglophile backers are now flying the Ukrs flag , from their windows ! Soon they will have no windows left ! So smash this vile Nazi union into dust . Bakhmut should be declared liberated . Another pincer to follow . First Bridge to fall , and not the last .

Interview with Dmitri Babych. He's Russian. They go into Prigozhin and Strelkov. It is weird how these guys go off the reservation the way they do. Some ppl say it's always been like this. No wonder Stalin just crossed some of them out

Russian 76th Guards Air Assault Division MT-LBu with an S-60 57mm automatic anti-air gun, these guns have been used throughout the war on both sides with devastating effects on ground targets.

They should built a vehicle with MBT level armor with a 57mm and 30 mm auto cannon and 4 ATGM. An anti personnel tank, with the ATGM only in case it meets another mbt or heavily fortified position the auto cannons can't deal with.

Stalin killed Tukhachevsky, well he didn't but the red terror did

The result? 10+ million soldiers lost in kesselrings due to ineptitude of the command

Red army won in the end, but the entire genocide in the east, and almost losing St. Peter, Moscow, and Stalingrad could have been avoided with competent leadership during the opening stages of barbarossa

Political leadership should heed the words of the experts, and while Prigozhin is definitely not an expert

The military guys in Wagner are, and I'm sure his breakdown had to do with what they were telling him

Strelkov is no expert, but he did win keep the militias combat effective at least at the outbreak of the war, granted they devolved into warlords and eventually were all assassinated , but who's to say why that happened

Russian forces hit enemy targets in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk.
At the same time, authorities in the Kharkov region reported that at least six missiles exploded.

More good news. Wonder if the 45 Azov operatives released in exchange for those 3 pilots are on their way to the front?

The commander of the neo-Nazis “Azov” KIA in #Bakhmut

Dmitry Yudenko was the commander of the branch of the 3rd assault brigade (former Nazi regiment “#Azov”)

MI6 passed on intelligence to the Office of the President and the General Staff that Russia continues to transfer heavy equipment to non-government-controlled territories of Ukraine.

According to British intelligence estimates, there are 700 tanks and 400 MLRS systems in the South, another 900 tanks on the eastern front, while about 3,000 different heavy equipment are in reserve in the Rostov and Belgorod regions.

According to the latest data, Russia has deployed more than 100 T-90 tanks to Ukraine, and has concentrated more than 700 aircraft/helicopters at military airfields, in anticipation of a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Looks like we know who is preparing the real "counter offensive".

Sentinel hub EO and Airbus DS scans of echeloned defensive positions of Russian army north of Tokmak

Along with forecast of Ukrainian objectives, capturing Energodar would be symbolic, and taking Tokmak would be the peak of what they would achieve

If the echelons work the way they are supposed to, they can allow Ukraine to get deep, and destroy them as they run into defensive bulwarks

Allowing them in is not the problem, but destroying them would be a defensive success for the Russian army , they would lose north of 80,000 men in a quarter of the time they have lost the same amount of men during Bakhmut and Soledar battles

So if RU army can stop them in the defensive belts, and launch counter offensive, it would be a successful defense

They should give you a position in the core of Russian decision-making bodies, this idea is so brilliant!
Let me call Putin, pack a bag, and steam ahead Moscow they will await you.

I know if those but they are kinda like the BMP-3. I don't think they have MBT level armor protection do they?

BMPT is litteraly on a mbt chassis with An unmanned turret. I don't think you can put it in the same protection class as BMP-3.

The chassis does not make it a tank. The Typhoon is on the same platform at a T 14. It may not be the same protection class is the bmP-3 but I don't see any evidence it approaches MBT Levels of armour.

Red Square just a few minutes ago. Completely prepared for Victory Day Parade (fake news media had said Victory Day Parade was cancelled). Gorgeous weather in Moscow today.

Kurganet, Boomerang rings a bell?

And when a 57mm is available where is the need for a 30mm auto cannon?

Have you seen how large a 57mm cart is? 30mm allows serious firepower and qty of rounds. Thats it. Whats the max rate of fire of a 57 mm vs 30mm? These machines are to hose down the enemy. Yes I have heard of all of these, they lack the MBT level armour. So you are making them go closer to the enemy with less armor.

My goodness!

Anyway from Rosoboronexport:

BMPT has substantial protection against anti-tank weapon systems, as of now, no combat vehicles have similar all-round, top of the class protection.
