Russian special military operation in Ukraine #57

#слухи
Against the background of corruption and negligent cases of construction of fortifications in the Kharkov region, the military was prohibited from discussing this topic with journalists and publishing any negative information about it. All leadership of brigades/military units/battalions, etc., were sent a manual on how to respond in this case.

Anyone who decides to disobey the verbal order of the command (OP) will face an article of treason if they criticize the authorities for the lack of proper fortifications.

Bankova is trying to hide corruption in the construction of defense structures, and also covers up thieves and idiots who failed the construction, and now Ukrainian soldiers are paying for this failure with their lives.

Semi confirmation on facebook.  Per Redsamurai84, who has posted decades worth of Soviet/Russian military parades, "the commander of the 20th Combined Arms Army, Major General Suhrab Akhmedov has been relieved of his command. He was repeatedly involved in failed offensive operations with unjustified losses near Vuhledar. According to military sources, he is also accused of lying to the command staff by misleading them about the real situation on the frontlines, which allowed him to enjoy his position until now."

Called it way back when it was happening but everyone started screaming how I'm spreading ukr propaganda

Just like when I called the fuckups during first weeks of war and got permabanned for a while

You people need to learn to call bullshit on bullshit instead of coping  

There are claims that whilst accurate the S-400 destruction is a video from last year.

Meanwhile, on a more important action overnight as far as the SMO is concerned

The Kharkov railway after yesterday's flights. The locomotive depot, it seems, has left the chat.

The Russian Armed Forces attacked the railway infrastructure in the Kharkov region at night

Ukrzaliznytsia reports this and publishes a photo. It is noted that tracks, carriages and buildings were damaged.

Yesterday, the Russian Armed Forces also hit a railway station in the Kharkov region, where trains of Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment and enemy personnel were passing through. - Ostashko reports

Have you heard of some high ranked Ukro official detained for corruption?

Let alone US or French or British or German etc etc officials... with their multi billion dollar projects...

Corrupt men get caught in Russia and go to jail... doesn't happen in the west it seems... and not because there are no corrupt men... trying to work out what is corruption and what is business is difficult in the west because they look the same.

Basically Ukraine is going to be no more than Galicia when this thing is done.

The amusing factor is that the neutral zone the Russians are going to create is going to be the depth of their weapons of greatest reach, so giving them longer ranged weapons means less territory left that Russia can ignore...

Oh no, why so?

Running out of fresh meat...

May as well give that to Poland, as long as they agree to keep it demilitrized.

Did you have to repost that entire message to make that comment?

Equally reflect the range of these weapons from new Russian territory into Orc held territory and that is the distance the Russians would need to reach to assure these weapons can't threaten Russian territory...

Thing is, there are no "settings", you can't really throttle a solid fuel rocket motor. Once it's lit, that's it. It'll just burn uncontrollably from there on.

No adjustable throttle, but you can bake it in layers so the inner layer that burns first can be high calorie high energy fuel that accelerates the missile and gives excess energy to climb and accelerate to speed... depending on the launch speed and launch altitude will result in a certain altitude reached and a certain speed reached, and then the sustainer fuel starts burning and it essentially counters drag and allows the missile to maintain speed during its flight to the target area.

Some missiles like the new R-77 version have a final stage fuel load that is separated from the main fuel that can be ignited at any time and is used for high speed high energy terminal attack on the target.

The R-37 is not a new missile and its replacement is already being developed in the form of the Izd-815 with further improved performance.

It seems the R-37 is already kicking it though so no hurry.

Or you have a jet sustainer, which can be throttled to your heart's content.

And also the risk of a stall, but with a jet engine you can shut it down and coast to the target area and then light it back up... new generation plasma ignition seems to be able to restart jet engines in a much wider range of speeds and altitudes...

All of Ukraine needs to be taken and then de banderized throughly.

I agree, but I don't think Kiev will be able to continue to put up organised opposition for the entire campaign... at some point they will collapse and then it will become more of a humanitarian mission to ensure stability and peace while elections and referendums are sorted out.

As far as I know the S400 is not designed to counter ballistic threats.

S-400 can deal with ballistic threats up to about 4.8km per second.

The fact that they have had ATACMS for months and have only hit one or maybe two targets suggests there are specific circumstances they are exploiting... but hitting two targets a month is not going to influence the conflict or its result, and the fact that they are risking their HIMARS launchers to fire these missiles means the current advances by the Russian forces to push them back are fully justified and should continue.

The S500 should take that role. At least the battery should have been supported with shorter range assets like Pantsir and Tor systems to improve survivability.

I rather suspect they have calculated the distance at which TOR and Pantsir can hit ATACMs and that will be the distance they are getting their missile to release its submunitions. S-400 and TOR and Pantsir can all defeat ATACMS, but trying to hit hundreds of submunitions would be beyond any air defence systems.

I would say mapping out potential targets and placing BUK systems on the flight path toward said systems would likely be their best bet in that regard because the submunitions wont glide long distances...

Do that enough times until you managed to established a pattern on when the site is really manned and online, then plan your attacks.

Or create decoy emitters and decoys and set them up at every launch site and have them all emitting all the time so HATO assets can't tell which is real and which is not.

A rare bird.



Four D-30SN dropped from Su-34.

It is a 300 mm diameter modular system with a range of 90 km, and carries 230 kg warhead. Sattelite and inertial navigation.
Can be used as a part of Tornado-S system as well.

By the way, Yanuk has landed in Minsk this morning.
Putin is there.
Who wants to guess what they will discuss, that needed all three to be present?

I guess that are the rumors assisting Yanuk/Batka/Vova "summit" that is going on right now.
Some political solutions might be riping up.
Those does not involve Cocainsky, clearly
