Russian special military operation in Ukraine #62

A great material showing Russian advances from August 6th to November 10th.



Keep in mind the scale of engagements which is tenfold lower than the Soviet onslaught against nazis, which effects in a relatively small from the geographical perspective gains and a lower peak.

But if that is not a clear picture of the Russkie military genie, then what is?

A constant and continuous carefully measured and precisely delivered destruction along an entire few hundred km frontlines. They are just working. A steady, hard work ...

if Zelensky didn't have anything but yes men round him, they would tell him

"Without the US we cannot hope to do anything it's their money, intel and supplies that are keeping us in this fight, if they stop support we have to make a deal while we still can make a deal"

Ukrainian Armed Forces South of Kurakhovo Find Themselves in Pincers, by Maria Ivanova for VZGLYAD. 11.12.2024.

Ukrainian forces in Yelizavetovka and Ilyinka south of Kurakhovo are caught in a pincer movement and cut off from supplies.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces groups in the settlements of Elizavetovka and Ilyinka to the south of Kurakhovo are cut off from the main forces and supplies, which forces them to try to leave in small groups under the fire control of Russian troops.

Groups of Ukrainian forces located in the settlements of Yelizavetovka and Ilyinka have found themselves in a pincer movement, TASS reports . According to Russian security agencies, these units have been cut off from the main forces and are deprived of food supplies, which creates extremely difficult conditions for them.

The security forces specified that the Ukrainian military is trying to leave the encircled settlements in small groups. However, all the routes they can take are under fire control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which significantly complicates attempts to retreat.

Earlier it was reported that Russian assault troops entered the eastern part of the city of Kurakhovo in the DPR, where fierce fighting is underway. The Armed Forces of Ukraine intend to strengthen the defense in the Kurakhovo and Krasnoarmeysky directions, Vladimir Zelensky reported.

Russian troops are advancing on all sections of the front in the Donetsk People's Republic, noted the head of the region, Denis Pushilin.

From which museum did they bring these things from? The Copperhead was taken out of service in the US because it malfunctioned under conditions of cloud cover. I bet they will work just GREAT in Ukraine.

Russia has spent a long time improving their laser guidance mechanisms to work even in cloudy weather.

I distinctly remember how you praised the wundefwaffe Excalibur as the ONE. We all know that it was never heard of again after the first hype around it - much like Brimstone

Now you want to push this piece of crap as the next wunderwaffe!

The Battle of Kurakhovo Reveals the Degradation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Command, by Anastasia Kulikova, Evgeniy Pozdnyakov for VZGLYAD. 11.13.2024.

Experts explained the tactical and geographical features of the battle for Kurakhovo.

The battles for Kurakhovo continue. The Russian army has advanced north and south of the city, and some units have already entered its eastern part. Experts attribute the success of the Russian Armed Forces to several factors at once, including the clear interaction of attack aircraft with UAV crews and artillery, as well as disorganization in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Russian forces have advanced north and south from Kurakhovo in the DPR. This was reported in an interview with TASS by Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the Public Chamber's commission on sovereignty, patriotic projects and support for veterans. According to him, active fighting is taking place in the area of ​​the village of Dalneye. In addition, the troops have liberated Novoselidovka.

He also added that the Russian Armed Forces are moving towards the Zaporizhia-Kurakhove highway. Work is currently underway to cut off the road for enemy forces. "This will deprive the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the ability to control the settlement, since this is the main transport artery through which they are supplied with manpower, ammunition and everything else," Rogov added.

Thus, the operation to encircle the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in the Kurakhovo area continues. The troops are tightening the pincers around the Ukrainian Armed Forces units near the settlement, approaching it from several sides. At the same time, fighting has already begun in the eastern part of the city. The success of the operation will open the way for the Russian Armed Forces to Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk).

Against this backdrop, the commander of the Ukrainian artillery unit located near the city told the Financial Times that his troops were ready to retreat, but that the corresponding “order from above” had not yet been received. The FT attributes the enemy’s failures to a “lack of manpower.”

However, Russian military experts question this point of view. The Ukrainian Armed Forces still retain a numerical advantage over the Russian Armed Forces group in the SVO zone. Logistics also plays in the enemy's favor: it is easier for the Ukrainian army to transfer troops along internal communication lines than for the Russian Armed Forces along external ones. However, despite the presence of NATO advisers in the headquarters, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' troop management is still deteriorating.

"Russian troops have been in the east of Kurakhovo for about two weeks. We managed to gain a foothold in the area of ​​private housing. Over the past two days, the military has advanced further: they passed along the railway station and the school. This also allowed us to expand our zone of control in the south. Roughly speaking, we have liberated about 15% of the settlement," said military analyst Mikhail Onufrienko.

"At the same time, the Russian army managed to break through to the village of Dalneye. This success will potentially open up opportunities for us to continue the offensive in the area of ​​the center of Kurakhovo. The situation is difficult for the garrisons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Of course, full-fledged pincers for taking the settlement have not yet formed, but the threat of a complete encirclement of the city is in the air," the interlocutor notes.

"The enemy is well aware of this. In fact, the blowing up of one of the dams of the local reservoir was carried out in order to prevent the complete blocking of the local group. However, in this way the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot themselves in the foot. The reduction of the water surface area will lead to our forces from the north being able to fire at the settlement "point-blank", - he believes.

"The city itself and its suburbs are flat terrain. Unlike other places in the DPR, there are no waste heaps there. The only problematic area here is the lowland that stretches from the southeast to the reservoir. It is difficult to move armored vehicles here, but we have solved the problem of their advancement," the expert believes.

“Having occupied Dalnee, we were able to bypass this territory from the south, which will accelerate the pace of the offensive. As soon as we pull our troops up to the city itself in this area, the assault on Kurakhovo will begin, which will be the liquidation of one of the last powerful fortified areas in this region," Onufrienko emphasizes.

The operation to liberate Kurakhovo is distinguished by the close cooperation of assault brigades with UAVs, says military expert Maksim Klimov: "It is clear that drones, infantry and artillery are working as a united front, covering each other in particularly tense moments. We can say that the units are demonstrating a high level of military organization."

"The drones are actively operating both within the city limits and in its outskirts. After the "raid" of the devices, our fighters move forward, supported by artillery fire. This allows our leadership to make bolder tactical decisions, for example, to begin entering Kurakhovo even before the pincers have completely closed around the settlement," the source notes.


“There may be other reasons for the early assault on the city, but the fact that skillful management contributed to this process is undeniable.

"Nevertheless, logistical realities play in Ukraine's favor. Due to the fact that its troops are on the internal arc of the front, it is easier for them to establish transport interaction between the rear and military units. In fact, the Ukrainian Armed Forces only need to travel "in a straight line" to the required point. But the general disorganization reduces the value of this advantage," Klimov believes.

Meanwhile, the authors of the industry Telegram channel “Vatfor” note that the successes in the Kurakhovo area do not mean an immediate transition of the Russian Armed Forces to advance along the entire southern direction.


“In two years, the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to build here, albeit a pale, semblance of the Surovikin Line.


It is unlikely that it will be possible to break through it on the move. It is more likely that the main direction will still be the eastern direction from Kurakhovo, right along the lines of defense, which are now being rolled up by a consistent series of local attacks,” they believe.

Therefore, according to analysts, the Dnepr group of forces will act in the proven manner of tactical opportunism – to put pressure in many places and develop success where it breaks: “As the Ukrainian forces become exhausted, it can break in many places here too.”

“A sign of success will be an increase in the number of local crises on the enemy and on the southern, so far relatively calm front,” the analysts conclude.

Kyiv could rapidly develop a rudimentary weapon similar to that dropped on Nagasaki in 1945 to stop Russia if the US cuts military aid

Let me recap: Russia has been low on resources, food fuel and manpower and on the defensive for years, while Ukraine has a strong industry and holds the strategic initiative, right? yet Ukro nazis want to bomb civilians with nukes?

NATO troops would be on the ground in Ukraine fighting Russian forces if Moscow did not have nuclear weapons, the head of the alliance's military committee has said.

"I am absolutely sure if the Russians did not have nuclear weapons, we would have been in Ukraine, kicking them out," Admiral Rob Bauer, the outgoing chief of NATO's Military Committee, said during an appearance at the IISS Prague Defence Summit in the Czech Republic on Sunday.

"If you fight in Afghanistan, that's not the same as fighting the Russians in Ukraine," because the Taliban did not have nuclear weapons, Bauer said. "There is a big difference between Afghanistan and Ukraine."

wait, ait so how exactly US won in Afhanistan? did i miss something?
