Knowing him, he doesn’t care about how it looks for western propaganda. I am sure he is allowed to speak. He is talking like this because it taunts Ukrainians and they send reinforcements. Roads of death are created by artillery. In reality, there is no shortage

So why did Ukraine launch HIMARS again to try and kill it's own captured soldiers ? It at least made some sense earlier in the war. The chubs they hit this time , were getting ready to be exchanged. 

Even for the satanic CIA who just wants bloodshed, this doesn't make sense.

Report:
Assault on Belogorovka through the eyes of fighters

On April 28, after sudden attacks with thermobaric ammunition on the advanced positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the outskirts of Belogorovka, the Akhmat detachment, consisting of 22 people, was able to quietly run several hundred meters to a water pumping station on the outskirts of the village.

The detachment of the National Guard protecting the factory building was destroyed within an hour. Hell has begun. Ukrainian artillery shamelessly poured shells on the building of the plant and the only approach to it. The guys were completely cut off from retreat or help.

Assault groups of the 77th Airmobile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were used. The Akhmat detachment repulsed four assaults in the first few days, including thanks to the artillery of our South group. The enemy has a whole company disheveled, according to the testimony of the prisoners.

After the failed assaults of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they ironed the plant with artillery and tanks for five days.

On the eighth day, our guys were able to rotate. The fight continues. Of the 22 fighters, 17 survived. All with various injuries. Apti Alaudinov personally met them, the castle of the 2nd AK.

All nominated for state awards

Anyone got any confirmation of this?

Interestingly enough, Wikipedia has updated that general Syrsky (commands Bakhmut sector of Ukraine forces) has died on May 10th in Bakhmut.

"Oleksandr Stanislavovych Syrskyi (Ukrainian: Олександр Станіславович Сирський; born 26 July 1965, died 10 May 2023) was a Ukrainian military officer."

Also, this rumour

Rumours that Zaluzhny was killed in one of the Russian strikes:

https://t.me/boris_rozhin/85338

Regarding the rumors about the death of Zaluzhny.

1. Yes, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation covered one of the headquarters with high-ranking officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass. This is official information. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation did not report the death of specific officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. If they knew for sure that one of them was Zaluzhny, they would certainly have been informed.

2. Who exactly was there - is unknown, in the public field there is no reliable information about the participants in the meeting. The fact that the Ukrainian generals periodically visit the Donbass is not a secret. In addition to Zaluzhny, Syrky or the same Tantsyura periodically flashed there.

3. Ukraine denies the death of Zaluzhny, but due to the fact that he has not been in the public field for a long time, this gives rise to rumors that he could have suffered from such a blow, especially if he was tracked.

4. Exactly the same story with General Tantsyura, who, according to Prigozhin, could have been in the destroyed off-road vehicle near Chasov Yar, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied this, claiming that Tantsyura and "everyone else" (about which Prigozhin did not speak at all) are alive. Who they are is not clear. The dance is still not shown.

Therefore, we are waiting - they will show Zaluzhny or not. The long public absence of Zaluzhny will naturally multiply rumors that he could be killed or wounded. But so far this has not been verified.

He is not a military commander, BTW.   He is basically a financier for the organization.

You are right, he is not a military commander. He knows that. He is like a chief of operations. So he is there to make sure his commanders have the tools they need to deliver the desired results. And since he is dependent on the military supply chain, he is just advocating for his commanders.

The UK is about to give long range missiles to Ukraine with 200 miles range. Could this escalate into a nuclear war, if Russian nuclear arsenals are targeted by Ukraine? The drone attack on Engels airfield last year already sparked this kind of fear, but long range missile are probably more dangerous than drones.

Dmitry Rogozin announced the need for a second wave of mobilization in Russia.

“We must bear in mind that the enemy is stronger than us. We cannot act here in such a way that it is every man for himself. Therefore, mobilization is needed. We had to go through not only one at the beginning of autumn, we have to go through one more. We have problems with the personnel, because the guys are wounded, our fighters are killed. Even when the front is standing, there are shelling. We are losing combat-ready guys. They need to be replaced."

Like others have stated the BMPT was designed to accompany MBTs and was designed to have similar protection they are based on T-72 or T-90 due to its role it's highly likely that it has tank like protection. On another note Belarus designed the 2T stalker which is a T-72 with main gun removed retained the 7.62mm machine gun the main gun replaced with 30mm cannon, AT-6 ATGW and sa-18. This was some years ago and if they were to revise the project I would imagine that the 30mmgun would be replaced with 57mm gun or 57mm grenade launcher, AT-6 replaced with shershan or Kornet and sa-18 replaced with Verba and possibly addition of a pack of Bulat.

Anyways what we know is the BMPT is effective at what it does.

NEWS UPDATE BAKHMUT MIDNIGHT MAY 11 CET
Cautious @Suriyakmaps
has also confirmed russian takeover of most of the territory east of Chajkovskogo Street as well of four of the high rises within the "Citadel/Nest". The two highrises that are red shaded are probably also taken, since fighting has reached the Peremona cinema (red circle). Some of the buildings in purple might also have been captured by the Wagner forces.It seems that the local Wagner commander came to the same conclusion as I proposed in my old tweet and started by attacking the unsupported corner house in the SW (red square) and continued forward the same way as I also proposed.





NEWS UPDATE BAKHMUT AFTERNOON MAY 10
Wagner forces are now capturing the entire eastern side of Chajkovskogo Street. The minicitadel and area north of it (1) are cleared of ukrainian forces. The area south of the Industrial Collage (2) are presently being cleared by the Wagner forces and ukrainian forces are withdrawing to the western side of Chajkovskogo Street.
We gave earlier said that the ukrainian part of Bakhmut is divided into two parts, a minor southern part and a major northern part. Now has the easily defendable eastern half of the south been captured. The western part (blue shaded) consists mainly of small houses and will probably be easy to capture by the Wagner forces
In the SE part of the main Citadel/Nest, Wagner has reached the Peremona cinema (3) and captured half a dozen high rises in the eastern part of the complex. At least two of high rises was taken last night.

Well I kinda predicted this when they implemented the new mobilization call up system.

they shoulda closed that border as job 1. Instead here we are. A lot of people keep saying Russia has no time pressure. I say that is BULLSHIT. There are real risks both military and political to a long war. Closing the western border would have been much easier a year ago. Now there are minefields everywhere and closing it will take much more careful and deliberate action. But still, why all the rails lines and main road are not hit daily with FAB 500's is a real mystery to me. Only theory I have is to bleed NATO dry. But so what, NATO will rearm. It will take 2-3 years. Unless Russia is planning an ultimatum to NATO after they defeat Ukraine.....

Rogozin Jr. is more than fit to serve hence he should go first (why isn't he there already?)

Every time someone lets this moron near a phone dumb shit happens

Also, maybe they would have had less wounded if they didn't use soldiers as artillery sponges and instead focused on exterminating Ukrainians with heavy firepower?

BMPT armor package is better than most of the MBT in line, and newly developed platforms are not much inferior, if even.
So yes, it is a MBT level of protection in all cases.
And you are too lazy to do a bloody 5min research.
Listening to you yapping about what should and shouldn't is not only utter nonsense, but a waste of time everyone can spend digging own arse left-handed.

Perhaps you should 1, take some anger management meds 2 learn some manners and failing that, just use the ignore feature so you don't to view content from people you don't find useful. Much better then throwing a tantrum like a 12 year old.

That is a ridiculous thing to say.

Their entire strategy was based around making this a limited intervention... to close the Ukraine border with all HATO countries would have required a full scale invasion... numbers of soldiers and equipment to the point where it wouldn't matter if they closed the border or not... which is ironic don't you think?

A lot of people keep saying Russia has no time pressure. I say that is BULLSHIT.

The longer this conflict continues the longer the west remains in full anti Russia mode and Russia can cut all ties and relations with us bastards.

When this conflict ends European countries are going to go to Russia and try to start trade again and get cheap energy again and all that other shit that started all this in the first place and Russia goes back to where it was...

What Russia needs to do is say to the west that they are helping their enemy and so their people and resources in the Ukraine are now legitimate targets and will be hit repeatedly because you are aiding the enemy and are a core part of the problem.

Give them a week to leave and then start hitting them where ever you can find them.

There are real risks both military and political to a long war.

the opposition still thinks it has a chance to survive and join HATO and essentially "win".

In such a situation any peace agreement wont be on good terms for Russia because Kiev wont even talk till Russian forces leave what they think is their territory, so there are no peace agreement options for Russia any time soon... they have to win peace on the battlefield.

This is step one... kill their armed forces.

Step two will be advance to where the natives stop being friendly and start building new boundaries and setting up new states with governments Russia finds acceptable... you know... the way the west does it around the world.

But still, why all the rails lines and main road are not hit daily with FAB 500's is a real mystery to me.

Because maybe 5% of that traffic is military and the rest goes to keeping the civilian population alive.

They are not bastards like the west who care about Iraqi oil and will leave the Iraqi civilian population to fend for itself while it secures oil fields and levels cities.

So allowing more of their men to die is better then the bandera supporters? They can leave allow outbound traffic to leave and allow food aid to be flown in if it stops in Crimea for inspection first. This will also create a huge refugee problem for the lovely Polish partners. They can even allow civilian goods through Belarus as long as its inspected first. They had enough men to close the border at the start of the war, it would not have taken that many.

The Russian leadership did mention that this struggle is an existential one , unlike some views that this is a picnic ! That Russian soldiers should put every effort into this conflict . The red square parade only showed one T34 Tank . Meaning the entire force is or should be deployed . This outlook is different to the one , more than a year ago . The optimistic view of a limited and quick war to denazify and disarm , by a bold and large pincer offensive .

Therefore we can say clearly given these facts , that the threat must be entirely eliminated by full force at the earliest opportunity . An existential threat , remaining and given room and oxygen to thrive , like a cancer , grows and infects every organ , finally ending the host's life . A surgeon does not allow the cancer to grow and spread in the body . He cuts it out at the earliest opportunity .

The tactics must change : First all civilian goods must pass by Ship , through Black Sea , or through Belarus , after inspection by Russia . The border to Poland and Romania must have all traffic stopped . All Road and Rail to be cut .Second all Bridges on Deniper must fall , all supplies to Ukrs Army in East cut . Any food aid for East by say UN or EU , to pass through Russia . Third , all Nazi leadership to be a target by Khinzal , and any subsequent replacement be a target by Calibre . Fourth , civilian resistance anti-Nazi partisans to be organised and armed , to fight the Orcs . The Russian Army then drive to the Deniper River , and then capture Odessa by marine landing . Fifth , any subsequent long rang attack by NATO or the Orcs , by missiles , to be reciprocated . Ad infinitum !
