Russian special military operation in Ukraine #57

JASSM missiles launched from the F 16 may be a problem in the future. A 300 km buffer zone would require a very large offensive. Given current tactics, this is out of the question.

When the Orcs run out of men in a few months time or they rise up and have their own coup earlier, the Russians wont have to fight anyone to move in and occupy and keep the peace while referendums and elections are organised.

A Bradley vs BTR82 in a realy close combat encounter near Sokol.

When I saw the video description I expected the worst... because you would... the armour protection difference alone suggests they can take each other out but the advantage should be with the better US optics and armour...

Russia claims it destroyed 3 Ukrainian kamikaze UAVs over North Ossetia, Russia. The distance is about 1,000 kilometers from Ukraine. This is a first. The target was an airbase in Mozdok.

Putin needs to hammer on these attacks as a justification for full regime change in Ukraine. No partitions. Roll the f*ckers up to the Polish border.
Of course, further attrition of the Ukrian army is needed but we are entering the final stage where there is not enough training of the conscripted
meat and the logistics are degraded.

Hmm, I would say the Russians should up the anty and place heavy EW equipment along near contact lines so that whatever is in Ukrainian territory is subjugated to extreme EW interference that their electronics don't work.

That would more or less stop these drone attacks as they are very hard to detect since they can be launched from anywhere and stored anywhere.

Attacking at longer ranges ? This means Russia may have pulled back planes to save them from missile strikes . And drones need more fuel to get there . They need bigger vehicles and these can no longer be so easily hidden . If there was a mountain range and airfield was behind this , then drone has to pass over and gain altitude . Becomes more visible on Radar . Soon enough , nobody left or wanting to join the Orcs army . Russia advancing steadily .

Edit : passenger planes can quickly ( more quickly than bringing to life frozen lifeless airframe , no longer with parts production ) be turned into refuelling Tankers , enabling strike aircraft to operate from distant or spread out locations . Iranians , I think did this !

Jamming would affect their own drones. They either have to store their fighter further away in the Urals or move the front line.

Constantly moving further back isn't an option, leaves nothing in the areas to defend.

So instead, they need to move forward

This is a first. 

Because they are looking for an unprotected (or at least very weak protected) target.
The regimes in Kijüf and Washington are likely pressing the Japanese to let some Banderite fly a few
drones from japanese territory towards Sakhalin or so.

 should up the anty and place heavy EW equipment along near contact lines 

You cant just barrage jamming a nearly 1.500km long frontline 24/7.
That would give the enemy enough time to find a way to block at least
some of the jamming for single drones or other weapons.

You are correct. So I guess next option is to send out drones of your own on a mission to check for signals and where drone operators are working from.

Interesting move.

GEROMAN -- time will tell -  --@GeromanAT


Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation has issued an affidavit for arrest of Yulia Tymoshenko. 


Minister of the Interior of the Russian Federation said he issued a warrant for the former Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko. "Yulia Vladimirovna Tymoshenko, born on November 27, 1960, was required according to a member of the Criminal Code," was published in the Ministry of Interior of Russia, but the criminal offense was not listed. (now just watch how "West" will react to that...)

Is this really a wheeled Koalitsiya? The listed range seems rather low in comparison. Maybe with std ammo vs the microwave ignited rounds.

Agree with your post except this last statement.

I think he should have openly declared Western Ukraine as being fascist and proceeded to thoroughly de-Nazify it just as they were doing in Soviet-controlled East Germany. Treat them identically, do it openly, and only declare "brotherhood" with West Ukraine once the process was complete and they had proven themselves loyal. If East Germany could be converted from fascist enemy to most loyal Communist ally then I see no reason why Banderite-infected Catholic Polish Western "Ukraine" could not have been similarly dealt with. Similar situation with post-war Chechnya. Passification and conversion is better than ceding it to Poland. Give Warsaw NOTHING.

They should already have been doing that

As for their own drones, they can always drop jamming in a certain location for a certain length of time

Stalin wouldn't be himself if he didn't do it! More Soviet soldiers, around 40K, were kiled there than in Afghanistan.
It was N. Khruchev who in 1956 amnestied many Ukr. nationalists & allowed them to return home.

Not to mention a few old SA-2 and SA-1 rockets if they have them with simple seekers to detect the source of the jamming signal... and destroy it.

Effective artillery

The video about the Malva said that the target coordinates can be programmed into the system while on the move so when it arrives it can drop stabilisers and aim and fire very quickly and it is designed to operate with drone support to monitor the target and show the results of fire for fire adjustment and follow up shots... and then it moves... all very quick.

No. This is not for long range strikes, this is for operating around the immediate rear of your own troops and is intended to operate in an environment with friendly and enemy drones present. It is intended to stop and fire and then move a lot. It is designed to operate on its own rather than in a battery of 6 vehicles all lined up wheel hub to wheel hub.

It is designed to be cheap to buy and cheap to operate and mobile on roads.

WWII conversation moved to here.

No. It's using the same gun as MSTA-S.

Russian forces are doing this for months.
There are plenty of videos of hunting down enemy drone operators.
Difficult to do against longer range drones because of the size of the area you need to scan.

were laughing at the French César

Still a overpriced system. Capricious and difficult to keep operational.

Malva is a replacement for some of the towed artillery guns.
Her job is fire support of BTG´s as close to the frontline as possible.

Unfortunately, UAVs are still a big problem for any AD defense.
Damaged or lost Su-57.



Even light shelters would at least protect against UAVs. Akhtubinsk airfield in the Astrakhan region, located 589 kms from the front line.

Cool photo editing

Don't forget to mention the UAV's were piloted by Ukraine's finest pilot, the "Ghost of Khuyiv"
