The Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed all utility equipment in Yasinovataya (DPR) with cluster shells

The only utility company in Yasinovataya came under fire from NATO shells.

As a result, one worker and all the equipment, which was transferred to the city by the Chelyabinsk region administration that patronized it, were injured.

“We were engaged in the removal of solid waste, household waste, also landscaping, pruning trees, and cleaning playgrounds. Now we have nothing to work with. We are the only enterprise in the city, we will still trim trees, but garbage collection... All our equipment has become unusable,” said an employee of the enterprise.

This is the signature style of the Ukronazis: in impotent anger they strike only at civilian targets, strike only at peaceful targets.



Meanwhile the Day of Reckoning is still coming

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has handed UN Secretary-General António Guterres the book "Ukrainian Crimes against Humanity (2022-2023)" by Maxim Grigoriev and Dmitriy Sablin.

The book presents evidence of crimes collected by the International Public Tribunal on the crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis and their accomplices. They are told by people who have suffered directly from the actions of Ukrainian troops, including parents of the affected children, people who have come under AFU shelling, blown up on mines, tortured and abused.

The book represents the interim results of the work of the International Public Tribunal, - Maxim Grigoriev noted. - All the collected evidence will be used in the trials on the crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

It is? I have opened it with no issues.
Anyway, long story short, a guy who was WIA with serious issues after treatment and restricted ability to move his arms with some shrapnel unremoved.
Still, he is to pay $1500 bribe to get "white card" of being unfit for duty.
Out of his team of 6, he is the last one still alive.
He is not going to get caught for war again, hiding somewhere in Lvov.
If they will catch him anyway, would rather shoot himself in the leg than become meat again. - citation.

Imagine of this cheering picture being painted not by Russia Today, but The Times.

Jokes aside, if that is how a direct hit of Storm Shadow looks like, rather hard to be impressed.

They would need a lot of them to really damage a larger base. 50+. Without those that would be shot down or jammed.

7 SS on four Fencers sounds a little strange... 

And one came through. We could argue that a dude with a Verba standing on some roof top in the vincinity of the building could have prevented the hit, but...
We are back to the same conclusion. At least 6 of 7 shot down which led to minor damage to an old building (with all command and control functions are being fullfilled
by officers in some bunker at an unknown location). Meanwhile Russia hit the home of the planes with cruise missles and the mighty NATO air forces and AD units didn´t
even saw them coming.

It might be a side view but I'd say that Austin didn't look very happy.

New movie being released? Fat and Fatter.

It was just a matter of time before this happened. If true, what an opportunity, I hope the German crew's bodies will be returned to Germany with the maximum publicity.

Russian Military Destroys German-Manned Leopard Tank in SMO Zone

Thanks to @slr_coin
for sharing!

LUGANSK, September 23 - RIA Novosti. Russian scouts have reported the destruction of a Leopard tank manned entirely by German servicemen, operating within Ukraine's territory, according to the commander of the reconnaissance group in the Zaporozhye direction, codenamed "Legend," who spoke to RIA Novosti.

"When we thwarted their attempted assault and neutralized (destroyed with anti-tank guided missiles - Editor's note) the Leopard, we approached the disabled vehicle hoping to extract information. To our surprise, we discovered that the tank's mechanic-driver was severely injured, while the rest of the crew had perished. Upon waking, the mechanic-driver saw us and started shouting 'nicht schießen' (don't shoot - Editor's note)," recounted the group commander.

"Legend" emphasized his proficiency in the German language, stating, "(The mechanic-driver of the downed tank - Ed.) reiterated several times that he wasn't a mercenary but a Bundeswehr serviceman, and the entire crew belonged to the same company."

He continued, "I was somewhat taken aback, of course, but then I realized that it doesn't matter whether it's a Ukrainian militant crew or German servicemen; the outcome remains the same: German tanks will burn, and even American tanks will burn, regardless of who's controlling them."

The Russian intelligence officer revealed that when he questioned the German soldiers, the doctor from their intelligence team indicated that the mechanic-driver had lost a significant amount of blood and suffered severe injuries.

"I asked the doctor how much time he had left, and the doctor replied - just a few more minutes. I informed the German serviceman that his wound was too grave, and he had little chance of survival. He expressed deep love for his child and wife and regretted his decision to come here. We began preparing him for evacuation, but he passed away, and a couple of minutes later, 'cargo 200' arrived (a term used for casualties in combat - Ed.)," shared "Legend."

The commander of the reconnaissance group directed a message to Western instructors, urging them to consider the consequences before engaging in conflict with Russian forces. "Let them think with their heads, about their children, wives, before confronting Russians," conveyed the scout.

Previously, Russia sent a note to NATO countries due to arms supplies to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized that any cargo containing weapons for Ukraine would be a legitimate target for Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry cautioned that NATO countries were "playing with fire" by arming Ukraine.

Dmitry Peskov, the Press Secretary of the Russian Federation's President, noted that the influx of Western weapons into Ukraine did not contribute to the success of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and had a negative impact. Lavrov asserted that the United States and NATO were directly involved in the Ukraine conflict, not only supplying weapons but also providing training in the UK, Germany, Italy, and other nations.

They forced us to study accounting for a short while , as part of Engineering management  course . There I found out the importance of relative values in profit and loss on a periodic basis . It would be very helpful for us to have at hand numbers of imported equipment by Ukraine , from NATO group also , side by side with their losses . As would be similar numbers for Russian losses and replacements . In this way we can truly compare profit and loss ! Thanks .


Edit : Broski wrote " The only good thing about these successful strikes is that it will eventually force Russia to take Nikolaev and Odessa as NATO constantly uses its drones and spy planes in the black sea to help guide these cruise missiles to their targets. Making the Ukraine landlocked is the only way realistically to end these attacks on Crimea. " Good point . I used to think this too . But holding the coastline , will in reality only stop the launch of submersible and drone Boats , not anti-ship cruise missiles and other land /air launched missiles . They will simply get longer range weapons . To truly wipe them out , without a costly land war , is to have real-time satellite info , on location of launch and hit it with very fast missile , before they pack-up the picnic launch- box, and run away !

He should be happy to know his money was used to upgrade the trim on the Bentley Bentayga of a Ukrainian in Monaco. Now that he has his new leg, can he not be added to the list of eligible mobiks?

The new Russian Awacs will hopefully put an end to Nato's missile terror and low flying Su-24's .

Is this really the Kremenchuk airfield that the Su-24 were supposed to have taken off from for the Naval HQ hit and was then visited by Russian cruise missiles?

I can't see a runway, it looks like a helicopter base.

Not only this poster has linked to the photo.

They need more. Also perhaps more tanker so the AEW's can stay aloft longer. I have an old book on AEW preliminary design which, suggest at least 3 AEW's must be ready. 2 Airborne and 1 standby to maximize reliability and situational awareness.

Kremenchuk airport 

Was it the military airfield or a civilian airport?

Interesting. This women is the WH PR voice of Biden, so should know.

White House Speaker Karine Jean-Pierre denied media reports on Biden's decision to provide ATACMS missiles to Ukraine:

"US President Joe Biden has already said repeatedly that the transfer of ATACMS is possible in the future. I do not have any new information on this matter."

Apparently, the NBC broadcast was made in order to sweeten the bitter pill for zelensky from a completely disastrous visit to the United States.

The enemy's losses in this direction amounted to over 950 Ukrainian servicemen killed and wounded, 14 armoured fighting vehicles, 32 motor vehicles, and five field artillery pieces. In addition, two ammunition depots were wiped out.

As a result of the significant losses and the low morale, the Kiev regime is withdrawing units of the 38th Marine Brigade and the 110th Territorial Defence Brigade of the AFU to rear areas to restore combat capability.

Give them a moment, they will do better - Storm Shadows are being intercepted on a daily basis, and heavily studied, weak points will be revealed and exploited. Soon, entire salvos will end up hitting the sea or something, as it was with the Tomahawks.

Russian AWACS should have been able to identify the terrain hugging missiles before they hit the target. But they missed.

Also, Russia has a relatively large satellite network that can also detect missiles like Storm Shadow.

NATO radars are passing information to Ukraine. The exact nature of the information would be a secret, but Ukraine is getting the information and that's the reason why they blow the air raid sirens, before the missiles hit.



This evaluation does not match my opinion. The targeting is done mostly by US satellites. Reconnaissance aircraft are used to spot incoming planes, missiles, and ships.
