Ukraine - Russia's perfidious attack, a chronicle of events

[Alex_Sor]

A video of the most striking operations of the Ukrainian bomber drone R18 has been published

The fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine includes not only foreign drones Switchblade and Bayraktar, which are most often talked about. It includes, in particular, the domestic drone bomber R18. The unmanned aerial vehicle was developed by the non-governmental organization Aerorazvedka. It was founded by Ukrainian volunteers and representatives of the IT sector in 2014.

Attack drone R18 is engaged in the destruction of the invaders from the first day of a full-scale invasion. Aerorazvedka has published a video of the brightest successful UAV operations. 18 is an octocopter, i.e. Equipped with eight propellers, it can take off and land vertically. The unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of carrying a load weighing 5 kg. The range is 4 km, and the battery life is 40 minutes.

As for bombs, operators are more likely to use RKG-3 HEAT grenades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKG-3_anti-tank_grenade

The drone can carry two bombs at an altitude of 100-300 m. Before dropping them on the enemy, the drone hangs in the air. The main targets are radars, self-propelled artillery mounts, air defense systems, MLRS and command vehicles. However, Aerorazvedka reported the successful destruction of tanks.

The price of the R18 unmanned aerial vehicle is about $20,000, excluding the cost of the bombs.

The Army Risks Reasoning Backwards in Analyzing Ukraine

Would the U.S. Army be able to prevail in a war like the one in Ukraine, were it to realize its vision of multi-domain operations?

In Denial About Denial: Why Ukraine’s Air Success Should Worry the West
Ukraine’s success in contesting the skies turns the West’s airpower paradigm on its head — it offers an alternative vision for pursuing airspace denial over air superiority. Despite having one of the largest and most technologically sophisticated air forces in the world, Russia has failed to establish air superiority over Ukraine. And many Western analysts are surprised and bewildered. But the puzzlement is a sign of military myopia more than anything else.

Putin’s Lessons for the All-Volunteer Force
“Since the need for change is rarely self-evident, most organizations usually resist learning so long as they think the existing way of doing business still works. The challenge is even greater for wartime militaries.” Michael Hunzeker, Dying to Learn

The U.S. military, plain and simple, has a recruiting problem. All of the services know it. Congress knows it. The all-volunteer force has started to show its age as it approaches 50, with outdated policies, recruiting practices, and career models that are derived largely from the body of work that established the force in 1973. If left unaddressed, the recruiting problems of today will manifest themselves as capability shortfalls of tomorrow.

A clash between Russia and NATO could take place in the Suwalki corridor

Moscow may try to cut off the Baltic states.

Suwalki corridor is hypothetically the most dangerous area. He could be the first target for the Russian government in the event of a war against the North Atlantic Alliance.

Politico writes about it.

"Druskininkai is located on the southeastern border of Lithuania

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druskininkai

leads to a narrow strip of strategic territory known as the Suwalki Corridor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suwałki_Gap

Western military planners warn that the area is likely to be one of the Russian president's first goals if he ever decides to start a war in Ukraine before a direct confrontation with NATO, "the statement said.

Journalists speculate that Moscow may try to build a land corridor to Kaliningrad, which will trigger a large-scale nuclear war with nuclear weapons.

It is worth noting that the name of the Suwalki Corridor, which is about 100 km long, was given in 2015 by former Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves. According to him, this area is very dangerous because in the event of Russia's occupation of the Baltic countries will be cut off.

The Suwalki Corridor is the almost 100-kilometer border between Poland and Lithuania. This single piece of land connects Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia with the rest of the EU and NATO countries and separates the Kaliningrad region of Russia from Belarus.

If this corridor is captured, Russia will effectively close NATO's allies by land to the Baltic states.

"Russia could push migrants into the corridor and ignite clashes. After that, Russian troops could break into the corridor and deploy military patrols under the pretext of a humanitarian crisis. Such a move would allow Russia to join forces in Kaliningrad with Belarus," The Times reported.

Sources in Ukraine told The Times that the Kremlin could carry out the operation in just two hours. Such actions by Moscow could divert NATO's attention from preparations for a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The first Panzerhaubitze2000 - ✅

The German Panzerhaubitze2000 with trained Ukrainian crews appeared in the Ukrainian artillery family.

Importantly. This is the 6th type of 155-mm artillery, which strengthens our defense. Our warriors are already beating the enemy with M777, FH70, M109, AHS Krab and Caesar. From now on, Ph2000 has joined this "club of the best".

As always, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhny, will use them 100% effectively on the battlefield. Of course, a special huge thank you to our gunners, who have already become a world legend.

I would also like to thank the German partners for their support, which we continue to look forward to.

 

What is known about PzH 2000: range, speed
The Panzerhaubitze 2000 is considered to be one of the most modern and efficient self-propelled howitzers in the world and the most powerful self-propelled guns provided to Ukraine from Western partners.

The range of effective fire with ammunition with improved ballistics is 47 kilometers, for active-reactive ones - up to 67 kilometers. Caliber - 155 mm. Fires 12 rounds per minute. Ammunition - 60 shells and 228 modular propellant charges. Combat weight - 55.3 tons, crew - five people.

And the operating ranges for the Panzerhaubitze 2000 are up to 36 kilometers with conventional ammunition and up to 40-47 kilometers with a projectile with improved ballistics. This allows you to "shoot" any Russian artillery system for 10-15 kilometers.

Panzerhaubitze 2000 has a digital fire control system with a radar to measure the speed of projectiles. As well as the ability to produce MRSI (Multiple round simultaneous impact) with a series of shots that hit the enemy at the same time. The MRSI for the PzH 2000 is five rounds.

In addition to this - a highly passable tracked chassis and armor, which is of exceptional importance in the conditions of counter-battery combat, taking into account the survivability of the system.

The maximum speed is 67 kilometers per hour, over rough terrain - 47 kilometers.

listened to before the war because here I am, that story is interesting because it will go down in the history of Ukraine as an epiphany, perhaps because on February 22 the presidential administration makes a meeting, apparently when they already knew that there would be an attack, the American English other ambassadors took their embassies from Ukraine 13 th
on my charter dates, many began to take their families out knowing that there would be a war and on the 22nd the president gathers a group of businessmen with whom he speaks and asks them if there will be an attack by russia you will stay in ukraine you will continue to invest and at this meeting before they all of course assuredly assured what will be who was there
 there was the same Novinsky there were all the same
an oligarchy or big business as they are called who is concerned with one thing: how to pump resources out of the country, how to take money from the state, and all this money is collected with the help of taxes with the help of bribes with the help of the prosecutor's office
with the help of the tax authorities and of course with the help of those who help them get into the presidential administration 50 people attended the meetings I don’t know how many are left on the territory of Ukraine now who could you who couldn’t but I know that this entire patriotic business is not involved in the discussion of the future waits at first he waited for the first one to win which side then to take so as not to speak out and then he began to wait in terms of what

free citizens who themselves, at their own peril, must enlist in the territorial defense business must
to feed them and they were promised that they would probably be allowed and weapons in Ukraine were not allowed through the parliament, they didn’t pass through the parliament and they pulled weapons to some commissions, they asked them to hand them over after they immediately left, moreover, the men of Ukraine were forbidden to leave the territory of Ukraine for crabs and earn money now this unfortunate man is sitting, having sent his wife and children to where they will be in the region of Italy and Switzerland
and there is an exhibition of our brides an exhibition of women with children and I already hear how they say that it’s not bad and it’s not bad to stay so that the children go to school it’s good to have an affair and such cases will be about no patriotism here it will be a question of him
be because there will be a choice or a poor slave sitting on the territory of Ukraine without a weapon without a job or the same people and the evidence here is very simple and even Danilov and now think about these numbers, Mr. President Danilov speaks and says that we need more order for the counteroffensive 25 thousand trained motivated soldiers and officers are not soldiers with machine guns, these are soldiers whose
they are preparing NATO countries according to the NATO standard; these are officers who can aim and hit 40 from cannons
kilometers ahead, or even up to 120, these are people who bring drones in short, a new war of 25000 is necessary for the offensive, but most importantly, these people must be given the same weapons that we are gradually receiving from NATO and the United States of America and lend-lease is included for us
25,000 think then I have a question, why keep 8 million men and a senator locked up at home only 25 thousand if these twenty-five thousand if you pay normally two thousand dollars, then in principle they will be enough to
attack and of course the president is absolutely right in addressing all people for all citizens of ukraine help
army than you can and how can help the army don’t work syrup how can a woman with a child there in italy help the army when she needs to decide how to get help about that very italy for food than she can
help how these same men can help, sitting at home without weapons and without work, because the government has done everything so that people do not even think about returning to the sheltered territory, because today we have to wonder
how to help the army help the states of nato and the resources of ukraine are thrown there and the president correctly addresses everyone help us but maybe it's time
maybe it's time to pay attention not to the resource of 50 oligarchs businessmen who were gathered and who always gathered who were asked what to do in ukraine asks the oligarchs to make the economy work but nothing accept an ambulance and give us benefits for the green
energy and give us discounts on ore and give us the opportunity to tender take big as it happens selective business assistance selective business nannies and everything is fixated all the same but suddenly maybe a couple during the war realize that
your most important resource is your citizens who need to be taken care of and carried away by returning to ukraine why am i all
time to talk to you, Mr. President of your administration, servants of the people, laws must be adopted for 40 years if you decide to build the freest economy and money poured in here, you must at least be aware of the numbers that
Ukraine needs to spin so that a Ukrainian is the richest in Europe, this is an amazing goal, and during the war, President Zelensky cannot receive applause in vain, giving empty promises, telling people that we will give you freedom and immediately taking it away, telling people that we will provide you with development, and here don’t give businesses the opportunity to work, don’t take care that people get rich take care to save the state the state of officials not to lose half of the officials during the war, which is very important to lose half of the officials during the war, which means taking away functions
liquidate the ministries, but look at the people, and what is profitable for them, and then they flooded the money here because, after all, we are talking about these figures and remember, before the war we had a GDP of 200 billion, according to the State Statistics Committee
today, out of 200 billion, 100 billion are left, this is money that the government knows about, in order for this money to circulate, about 170 180 billion money is needed inside the country in order for it to circulate no more transactions are needed, and then the national bank accepts
decision, we will remove more money, which means that goods will be removed, which means that next month there will be not 100 billion, but 80 billion, and part of the business will go to the shadow sector, which is happening now and your people are citizens 10 15 million
working-class population of the productive class receive a signal no clearance will be even worse because now everyone is already talking about war, it will shoot missiles for a long time, but the question remains why go to a country that has missiles hit and most importantly, there is an official who is also being taken from you, there is a customs officer who is now powdering brains to passing cars and goods and builds their kilometer-long queues and instead of removing the same western border to allow the passage of goods openly, it becomes worse because a government official consisting of yelling like 1000 tax officers 300000 decide they are hungry and it turns out that the halved economy is now lucky there are already twice as many officials twice as many prosecutors now they are adding the military here is what is happening and of course again pay attention to the numbers and what is needed for money to be poured into Ukraine because the goal should be to reach two trillion GDP and not war is an obstacle to this many countries have developed strongly just during the wars because they got freedom, here is the same Napoleonic France or before Napoleonic they overthrew the king and
it means they overthrew the entire top, which means they reduced the spending of the state and flooded money into France from everywhere, it was with this money that the paid army was armed and
this paid army, with the help of the state, did not take resources from citizens, but bought more of the most bought for good money, receiving money from other sources from
conquests, including, but since now the Ukrainians are in a superposition, one can say, even with a war, but all NATO countries work for us, all of America works for us, half of the world works for us, half of the world’s economies are shoving money here, but how to shove it here, the customs officer guarding the state guard, you don't let me in here, sir
the president, together with his administration, because your statements say that we will refund taxes, we will again abolish VAT and car benefits, but you will be where I like in diy to issue the same or nowhere if you charge me 34 percent or if I have equipment I’m bringing 34 percent of quotas here, I need to take care of how to get 2 trillion on the territory of Ukraine, this colossal amount is twenty times more than what we currently have and there is a way, it is known to the world, open the floodgates, remove the dam
clearly violated my eyes it happened you only went to school then but perestroika happened before my eyes and Gorbachev who said you earn he allowed freedom he said you have the right to hire workers and work you can work it was a fantastic time 89 ninetieth year cooperative spring so called when a huge number of young people hitherto poor
students poor workers poor engineers who did not work in the Soviet Union suddenly gained freedom and began to earn

The first HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems from the USA arrived in Ukraine

The Minister of Defense of Ukraine promises the Russian invaders a "hot summer" on the battlefield.

The first HIMARS multiple rocket launchers arrived in Ukraine from the United States. This was announced by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov

"HIMARS have arrived in Ukraine. Thanks to my American colleague and friend Lloyd Austin for these powerful guns. The summer will be hot for the Russian occupiers. And the last for some of them," Reznikov said.

HIMARS is an American highly mobile multiple launch rocket system developed in the late 90s. This MLRS is designed to destroy areas of concentration of artillery systems, air defense systems and fire support, trucks, combat vehicles and armored personnel carriers, as well as to provide fire support to its units. The system is designed to fire guided and unguided missiles. The maximum range is 300 km. By the end of June 2022, the United States of America promised to transfer HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine in a few weeks, it will be possible to use on the battlefield. In particular, it was about the first four MLRS. Later it became known that the United States could transfer four more such funds to Ukraine.

Russians in Zaporozhye stole the largest solar power plant in Ukraine
According to the townspeople, solar panels were dismantled, packed and taken out for a long time.

The Russian invaders dismantled and removed the largest solar power plant in Ukraine, which is located near the city of Tokmak, Zaporozhye region.
According to vlasti.net, according to the townspeople, the solar panels were dismantled, packed and taken out for a long time. It is known that the stolen station - Tokmak Solar Energy - is the largest solar power plant in Ukraine. It was put into operation in 2018.
The area of the station reaches 96 hectares, and the capacity is 50 MW. It was able to supply electricity to six districts of the Zaporozhye region.
According to media reports, the owners of Tokmak Solar Energy are local deputies from the Opposition Bloc Ruslan Bozhko (former chief accountant of Zaporizhstal) and Alexander Repkin (a native of the Donetsk regional department of the SBU).

"My fighters are already winners for me," said Ruslan Shevchuk, commander of the 93rd OMBR Kholodny Yar. The fighters stand on the frontiers and well, says the brigadier, "grind the enemy and break his teeth."
- I can give many examples of their heroism, - says Ruslan Shevchuk. - When one company fights for two days in a row with the overwhelming forces of the enemy, we rotate, the next company fights just as hard, but does not move away. When tank columns go to the motorized infantry units, and they still fight. When the platoon does not hold its position, we understand that it needs to leave, and the platoon commander decides to stay, gives his documents and phone, sends his personnel and himself covers their departure despite the injury. These are heroic deeds! And they happen every day.
The nature of the actions of Russian troops, the brigadier general, has now changed significantly. If at the beginning of the full-scale invasion were characterized by deep tank breakthroughs, now the enemy uses the tactics of "strike fist": first there is armored vehicles - no less than a company of tanks, then infantry.
- That is, they broke to a small depth, widened the bridgehead, consolidated and only then try to increase the pace. The enemy is now more cautious, because he has already felt our opposition, - explains the commander.
- Our infantry in close combat is not unarmed even against enemy tanks. In particular, thanks to the latest models of anti-tank short-range weapons, which we received from our allies - Javelin, NLAW. There is something to fight for. There was a case, for example, when 6 tanks came out for one company. Within 10 minutes of the battle, three tanks were destroyed, the rest retreated. I think that when 50% of the advancing enemy force is destroyed, the enemy loses the desire to continue the offensive. Also our anti-tank complexes - "Stugna", "Corsair" proved to be quite good.
The brigade commander is convinced that the current war cannot be compared to any previous one.
- So no one in the world has fought. This is a war of artillery and armored vehicles, they are used very powerfully. It is very difficult for an ordinary infantryman to survive in such conditions. Artillery and tank fire today is being adjusted with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles. Exploration of the area is more dynamic. The faster one receives information, the faster one makes decisions and, accordingly, increases the efficiency of equipment, saves ammunition and saves personnel. There must be constant development of weapons both for the destruction of the enemy and for defense. You have to learn all the time. Yes, it is not easy. But we are on our land, we did not visit anyone, we did not call for "Russian peace", - says the commander.
The format of hostilities, of course, will be included in textbooks on military science, the brigadier said.
- What "writes a book", what is taught in military institutes and academies, is significantly different from what is happening now. There are many tactical examples of military tricks that have to be used, but it is too early to tell. It will be possible to talk about it after the war. All this is recorded in combat orders and directives, in logs of hostilities. These are a kind of historical documents, - concludes Ruslan Shevchuk.

...

Operational information as of 06.00 24.06.2022 regarding the Russian invasion.
The one hundred and twenty-first era of the heroic opposition of the Ukrainian nation to the Russian military invasion began.

In the Severodonetsk direction, the enemy fired from tanks, mortars, artillery and jet artillery near Lysychansk, Severodonetsk, Bila Hora, Vovchoyarivka, Spirny and Berestovo. He struck air strikes on the settlements of Lysychansk and Borivske. Fighting continues for the city of Severodonetsk.
The occupiers launched an offensive near the settlement of Myrna Dolyna, and hostilities continue. Our soldiers successfully stopped the enemy's offensive near Borivsky.
In the Bakhmut direction, the enemy fired at artillery positions of our troops near Mykolayivka, Berestovo, and Novoluhansk. It is trying to improve the tactical position and take control of the existing routes.
In the Novopavlovsk direction, the enemy fired in the areas of the settlements of Antonivka, Vugledar and Zolota Niva.
The sabotage and reconnaissance groups involved in the enemy were discovered and defeated by Ukrainian soldiers. The remnants of the enemy's DRG fled in panic.
The enemy did not conduct active hostilities in the Avdiivka, Kurakhiv and Zaporizhia areas. In order to prevent the transfer of reserves to threatening areas, the enemy fired at our troops in the areas of the settlements of Avdiivka, Umanske, Vesele, Novobahmutivka, Huliaipilske, Belogorye and Staroukrainka.
As part of logistics, the occupiers are trying to demine the waters of the Berdyansk seaport.
In the South Bug direction, the enemy did not take active action. He defends himself and tries to fight against the battery. Inflicted an air strike on the positions of our troops in the area of the settlement of Bila Krynytsia. Our aircraft, in the relevant areas, hit the enemy clusters in response.
Ukrainian guerrillas continue to resist in the temporarily occupied territories. Total resistance of Ukrainians continues.
We believe in the Armed Forces! Let's win together! Glory to Ukraine!

Up to 3-5 thousand shells can be fired at one section of the front per day, military expert Andriy Rymaruk said recently, and similar figures were later announced by our officials. We have fewer artillery and we cannot destroy the systems that fire on Ukrainian positions.

Oleksiy Nabozhnyak, Yevhenia Drozdova, Nadia Kelm

In this project, we decided to show what happens around the conditional position when "lead rain" falls on it.

To stop it, Ukraine needs even more M777 guns and a lot of long-range jet artillery, such as HIMARS, as well as shells in very large quantities.

Here is how our fighter describes one day in the trenches in a letter to relatives (spelling preserved):

1.03 - mortar shelling begins
2.05 - another one is connected
2.45 - cover with phosphorus, everything starts to burn
3.15 - on our positions work with 120-mm mortars, "Cornflower" is connected
4.10 - cover with "Hail". This continues until 6 am
6.05 - the receiver is connected
8.03 - the tank is connected
8.35 - enemy infantry tries to break through - repulsed
8.55 - our artillery works - the Muscovites retreat, regroup and attack again
9.45 - our tank and "beha" work on "zelenka". The shelling of the Muscovites does not stop

About 11 creeping 3 Muscovite tanks, Beha and the miracle of Muscovite armored vehicles - BMPT (tank fighting vehicle). Our art covers, they throw smoke - they retreat.

About 12 brought BC - the shelling does not stop.

13.24 - the shelling becomes very hard. A liaison officer was killed

2.5 hours do not allow to raise the head. Anything that can shoot shoots. 19.15 the shelling subsides
20.00 complete silence, or deaf
23.25 mortar starts working…
Deja vu ...

We made a graph that illustrates one minute of shelling, when several systems are working on our positions at the same time. This intensity can not last long, in addition, at other minutes and hours during the day it is usually different. On the example of a conditional trench, which we reproduced on the basis of data from one of our previous projects, we decided to show how under fire our guys can be in the hottest parts of the front.

The scale of the image is about 3 km wide and 2 km high. ACS “Acacia” (declared intensity of shots - 4 per 1 min.), ACS “Msta-S” (8 shots per 1 min.), ACS “Coalition-JI” (16 shots per 1 min) are working on this position. ), as well as MLRS "Hail" (launches 40 missiles in 20 seconds). In this example, ACS are powered by batteries of four units, "Hail" - three. The actual intensity is usually lower, because the guns are able to adjust the target, the situation may vary depending on the terrain and so on.

We found the real sounds of volleys of this caliber and set up the program to practice the stated intensity of the shots. The red dot means the place of arrival, the circle - the spread of debris (actually it is 15-25 m, on our scale, this radius is insignificant).

Of course, the artillery does not fire all the shells at one point. In different systems, about 60-70% of the shells will hit the target area at best. In our model, about 50% of arrivals are concentrated around the conditional target. Specific places of contact are different each time - try to launch "shelling" several times. Larger dots indicate clusters of "launched" missiles from the "Hail" - they often lie in a conditional rectangle and cover a certain area. On our scale, it meets the stated tactical and technical characteristics for the "Hail" - a large "square" of each of the installations is 145 thousand square meters. m.

RUSSIA RESUMES ISKANDER LAUNCHES FROM BELARUS AND FOR THE FIRST TIME APPLIES T-22M3 REMOTE BOMBERS FROM AIR SPACE
------------------------------
On the night of June 25, Russian troops launched a massive missile strike on the territory of Ukraine.
In total, more than fifty missiles of various types were fired: air, sea and ground-based.
For the first time from the territory of Belarus, the enemy used long-range Tu-22M3 bombers against Ukraine. And also resumed the use of operational and tactical complexes "Iskander" from this country.
Sea-based Caliber cruise missiles were mainly aimed at targets in western Ukraine.
In the northern direction of the Tu-22M3 aircraft, the enemy used X-22 missiles, as well as ground-based missiles from operational and tactical complexes - "Iskander" and "Point-U".
In the southern direction, the occupiers used ONYX missiles operatively and tactically at the Bastion complex.
It should be noted that the X-22, Onyx, and Iskander missiles are extremely difficult targets for air defense systems in the service of the Ukrainian Air Force. After all, the speed of Onyx and X-22 missiles is over 3,000 km / h. And Iskander missiles fly on a ballistic trajectory. Their defeat is an atypical and extremely difficult task for the air defense facilities available in Ukraine.
Some of the occupiers' missiles were shot down by the air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
