Russian special military operation in Ukraine #52

Pay some respect, 14 pcs can be half of working ones they have But WHO said those worki?

Maybe they came dissembled in crates and the Ukies sold it for scrap on the Black Market

I believe the mayor of Kiev just bought a $6 million mansion in Germany

Hard to believe they had 14 to give away.ccording to wiki they have 227 operational.

That's almost 10% of the fleet.

Very likely they gave a couple to see how long it last on the battlefield and the rest was film in some polish forest with polish actor pretending to be ukro for propaganda purpose.

Even if kept in the rear, russia could have destroyed them. So unlikely they ever entered ukraine. Same with Abrams.

Only germans got fooled by the anglosaxons and gave a shitton of hardware that was destroyed like any other tank to show how normal tank it is because it was quite successful on export compare to other two. But now Abrams suffers the reputation of a maintenace hungry tank and challenger an expensive garbage with no supply lines.

If I had the choice btw the 3 I would still go for the leo 2. At least it proved to be able to go to the front.

Not according to the latest Spiegel article

Peak cringe

A downed "kinzhal"

How can anyone report this with a straight face and not lose all credibility ?

It's beyond ridiculous, they are holding up a betab and western media continues to parrot this nonsense

This could be the warhead of missile. But that's certainly not a missile.

Our source reports that Bankova now holds a “mini bridgehead” on the left bank of the Dnieper in the village of Krynki for one simple reason.
If you leave there, a huge problem will be revealed - the abandoned bodies of dead soldiers, which the Russians will film en masse and post online. Can you imagine the effect of this?
Let us remind you that the dead and wounded have not been evacuated from there for a long time.
This is why many experts say that it is “costly” to keep Krynki , but it is impossible to leave.
Bankova itself created a problem for itself due to the pursuit of situational political goals, which they continue to solve at the expense of the lives of soldiers, but thereby the problem becomes even larger.

@UkrReview
New models of fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which will allow soldiers to survive during artillery strikes, being in the trenches.

All this will do is result in a more gruesome death for the rats in them. Just brutal.

Those metal box can quickly become ovens. I wouldn't feel safe in them with russian thermobaric rockets around.

Those metal box can quickly become ovens.

As mentioned before, the water problem will be even worse.



RIP Leo2

Gibka-S was tested last year in the SMO zone.

Top and bottom

Water isn't an issue if you dig some evacuation canal under it. Such things were already used in WW2.

What's that last picture ? A new gliding kit ?

Let them all crawl into them once in there throw a couple of white phosphorus grenades in there and see how they enjoy being in there No need for therombaric rockets. Lol.

Some interesting info in this article especially during such times. Mods feel free to move it if U feel it needs putting elsewhere.

Well if I saw TOS missiles inbound, I would run inside and close the door nevertheless. A slim chance is better then 0.

Naaah, it is "kimskander" and "kimzhal" in one body.
Everything now is Kinzhal and Kimskander, more clicks are needed

I posted about it yesterday in the krivak thread in the  forum section about India.

The air vent is offset to the side and extending a good couple of meters and it has a cutoff valve. All you need to do is to find the air vent and seal it off.

Victorious Banderastan just formally ordered 50 000 sets of female field uniforms.

If I were Ukrainian women, I would run right now.

The Russian military will take all measures to ensure that Belgorod no longer comes under fire - Peskov.

My highlight. I assume the poultry is MLRS.


Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 9 January 2024; pub. 06:58:round_pushpin:

Over the past day, the RF Armed Forces launched a massive missile attack on the territory of the #Kharkov, #Khmelnitsky, #Zhitomir, #Dnepropetrovsk, and #Zaporozhye regions. Strategic aviation and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were used. The main targets were military industrial facilities. By nightfall, ground-based missile strikes were repeated in the #Kharkov region, and powerful explosions were reported in the region. In public reports, the Air Defense Forces of the AFU began to note that most targets could not be shot down.

In the #Kherson direction, the exchange of artillery strikes and the destruction of the AFU landing force in #Krynki continues. Once again, during the crossing, enemy boats with manpower were destroyed.

On the #Zaporozhye front near #Verbovoye, a group of enemy infantry was destroyed; the actions of the parties are complicated by deteriorating weather conditions: cold weather and wet snow. Our aviation operated FABs with UMPC in the #Orekhovsky section.

In the #Kurakhovo direction, the RF Armed Forces are pushing through the enemy’s defenses in #Georgiyevka, moving from #Maryinka. To the south, near #Novomikhaylovka, the enemy announced that he had managed to push back our troops at the village.

In #Avdeyevka sector, on the southern ledge of the front, in #Pervomayskoye, our troops are conducting active operations, trying to advance in the populated area. Fighting is reported east of the Coke Plant.

In the direction of Chasov Yar, the “creeping” offensive of our troops continues. The enemy has retreated to the outskirts of #Bogdanovka in the north (? southwest) of the direction. At the settlement of #Khromovo, the enemy is resisting stubbornly.

Enemy strikes against the civilian population of the #Belgorod region continued. In the regional capital, after an MLRS strike, three wounded civilians and damage to residential buildings were reported. The town of #Shebekino was shelled. In the #Bryansk region, the village of #Lemeshovka, Sevsky district, was under attack by the AFU; households and cars were damaged. Two aircraft-type UAVs were destroyed over the Klimovsky district. In the #DPR, in #Gorlovka, a woman born in 1961 was wounded.

The "poultry houses" were identified and destroyed. Our UAV crew identified the opponents, and for this we spent several days in reconnaissance. We found the take-off point, the escape route, and, in fact, the “bird’s nest” itself.

Reward the rich and screw everyone else. Standard IMF activity.

   The Ukrainian authorities fulfilled the next demand of the IMF; no one cares about the fact that the war is in full swing, and 80% of citizens are below the poverty line!

   The Cabinet of Ministers lifted the moratorium on turning off electricity and charging fines to Ukrainians for utility debts.

   The corresponding resolution was adopted by the government on December 29.

   The exception applies only to active combat zones.

   “In the occupied territories, it is prohibited to charge fees for housing and communal services starting from the date of occupation,” the resolution says.

   There is an increase in tariffs for housing and communal services ahead, which is also being pushed by the IMF! Western help to our country comes down to one thing - impose taxes and tariffs on Ukrainians!

Ukrainian media report that citizens are massively closing their bank cards and withdrawing all the money from their accounts.

All this is happening ahead of the adoption of the law on increased mobilisation, which the Ukrainian parliament is expected to pass on January 9 or 10. The law will impose financial and property restrictions for evaders, including the freezing of bank accounts and cards.

Does it mean going in Krakov region?
