[Alex_Sor]

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02 to 02.07 were approximately:

Operational information as of 06.00 on 02.07.2022 regarding the Russian invasion.
The one hundred and twenty-ninth day of the Ukrainian nation's heroic resistance to the Russian military invasion has begun.
In the Volyn and Poliske directions, according to available information, the terms of mobilization training in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus have been extended until July 9 of this year (the previous terms were June 22 - July 1, 2022). As part of the above-mentioned measures, summonses are being served through the military commissariats of the Gomel region. In addition, doctors have been notified of a ban on traveling outside the country.

In the Kharkiv direction, enemy units are concentrating their efforts on restraining the actions of our troops and preventing their further advance. In order to regain lost positions, the enemy is conducting assaults in the direction of Kochubeivka - Dementiivka. He carried out artillery shelling in the areas of the settlements of Zolochiv, Ruska Lozova, Khrestishche, Peremoha, Dementiivka, Verkhnii Saltiv, Molodova, Stariy Saltiv, Korobochkine, Zamulivka, Velyka Babka, Volobuyivka, and Malinivka.

In readiness for missile strikes on objects on the territory of Ukraine, the enemy keeps two carriers of high-precision weapons.
The fighter aircraft of the Air Force continues to patrol the airspace of Ukraine, and the strike aircraft provides fire support to our units in designated operational areas without fail.
The Russian occupiers and their henchmen are afraid of the resistance of the local population, which is growing in particular in the Kherson region. The leadership of the invaders moves around with a lot of security, in armored cars and body armor. Local residents continue to put up total resistance.
Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!

On February 24, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Russian troops are shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities,

conducting massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages.

I am in the capital of Ukraine, the city of Kyiv.
I do not leave the city, I follow what is happening here, reassure my family and friends, explain the situation and follow the press reports.

A lot of panic messages, a lot of fake news from Russian propaganda.
I select only the information that has confirmation.
As a former military man (in the distant past), I have a good understanding of how hostilities are conducted and what weapons are used.

I will answer all your questions.

Since February 24, Russia has attacked Ukraine, many cities of Ukraine have been destroyed.

Because of the war, I lost my business in Ukraine, if you want to help me and my family, my Paypal is: Alex.Sor.2022@gmail.com

"WHY DON'T YOU ALLOW THE THOUGHT THAT UKRAINE IS HERE TO BE GUILTY FOR THE WAR?"
- this is a question that is now increasingly being asked by colleagues and acquaintances from Russia.
No matter how aggressively, they ask, they say: “Just look from a different angle, Dashenka! It's all so obvious!"
Good. I look from a different (your) angle.
If I understand correctly, then:
– Ukraine has been seized by the Nazis since 2014 so densely that it has replaced two Jewish presidents, the last of which is a Russian-speaking Jew and spoke Ukrainian poorly at the time of the elections.
- Ukraine (a completely non-belligerent country) was about to attack Russia (always at war), which has a huge army and nuclear weapons.
- She was going to do it with the help of NATO, but the alliance refused to close the sky and send its troops to Ukraine.
- Ukraine decided to attack at the very moment when Russia accidentally pulled troops to the border with Ukraine and on the territory of Belarus.
- Ukraine was also going to attack Belarus and fight on two fronts with an army that is concentrated near the LDNR
- Ukrainian Nazis and Bandera did not touch their citizens until February 24, but began to bomb Ukrainian cities and their compatriots exactly at the moment when Russian troops entered the territory of Ukraine.
- All Ukrainians dream that Russia would come and save them, but, for example, from Kharkov, under bullets, risking their lives, they go to evacuate to Lviv 1000 km away, and not to Russia 40 km away from the border.
- The Russian army does not shoot at peaceful cities, so Mariupol looks like one big ashtray.
- The Kyiv authorities are illegitimate, therefore the people of Kiev, who were given weapons, did nothing with this authority.
- THE RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES DO NOT LIE, therefore they introduced criminal punishment for the dissemination of any information about the war, closed all opposition channels and media for a week, and blocked major international social networks.
– THE UKRAINIAN AUTHORITIES LIE and spread fakes, therefore they did not introduce military censorship and freely allow journalists from any countries to work.
- The killing of civilians in Bucha is all theater and actors - faked by Ukrainians who arrived in the city surrounded by dozens of journalists.
- Those civilians and children who were actually killed, they tied themselves up and shot themselves in the back of the head at point blank range, since it is in the blood of Ukrainians to kill themselves and their own.
- And the Russian troops definitely didn’t touch anyone with a finger, so they can’t provide photographs of the city at the time of the withdrawal of troops.
- Also, Russian soldiers in no way engage in looting, and they always carry washing machines, carpets and toilet bowls with dog kennels with them in tanks just for convenience. And then, when the clothes have already been washed, and the poop has already been dumped into the toilet bowls, they are sent by Belarusian mail to their homes in Russia.
Is everything right? Have I forgotten anything, my Russian friends?

Zelensky and his team forget to tell how bad they did before the war.

The chief commander of the ZSU, General Zaluzhny, today, having chimed in with the “Bogdan” self-propelled guns, effectively defeated the enemy on the Ukrainian island of Zmіiny.
Self-propelled artillery mount "Bogdan" 155 "NATO" caliber for 100% Ukrainian production was ready to complete the combat missions already in 2017-2018, but in the future of 2019 the project of Zelensky's orders was canceled, and blocked.
As a result, the Russian invasion in the fierce fate of 2022 was shot down with just one shot of the “Bogdan” installation, as if using “NATO” shells to effectively undermine the enemy at a distance of over 40 kilometers and, due to its characteristics, do not compromise with foreign forces.

State-of-the-art German self-guided shells began to destroy the tanks of the "Center" group of the Russian-fascist invaders in Ukraine. The armed forces have gained a significant advantage thanks to NATO's high-precision intelligent weapons, which Russia is unable to develop.
On July 1, the Armed Forces of Ukraine released a video showing, according to sources, the world's first successful combat use of SMArt self-guided projectiles manufactured by the German company GIWS mbh in Donbas. The video shows the explosion of a shell over a combat vehicle and its damage.
The 155 mm SMArt projectile is fired at the coordinates of the enemy's armored vehicles and then does everything by itself.
At a certain height above the target, the projectile explodes and fires two combat submunitions on parachutes, which have their own micro-radar and infrared sensors for finding armored vehicles. After identifying the target, a shock hypersonic element is fired at it, which hits the combat vehicle from above. The speed is such that even if Russia starts putting its Arena-M active defense system on tanks, their characteristics do not allow them to intercept the attack.
According to sources, during the shelling on July 1, two pieces of equipment of the Russian Armed Forces were destroyed by two shells. Probably one of them, which was destroyed by the explosion, was a ZRPK "Pantsir" or a tank.
On July 2, German SMArt shells of the Armed Forces of Ukraine covered a column of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - up to 8 units of combat equipment of the Russian-fascist troops were damaged or destroyed.
These are far from the only samples of modern projectiles received by the Armed Forces.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine is gradually being saturated with ultra-modern Western weapons, which are beginning to give Ukrainian soldiers an advantage and allow them to wage a non-contact war with the enemy.
There is no doubt that after the deployment of large-scale production under NATO's support programs for Ukraine, we will have a great technological advantage over the occupiers. We get the best in the world for our victory.
The training and tactics of ground troops should be changed for such weapons, and people should be used much more carefully, and above all, infantry on the front line.

After heavy fighting for Lysychansk, the Defense Forces of Ukraine were forced to withdraw from their occupied positions and lines.

In the conditions of the multiple superiority of the russian occupying forces in artillery, aviation, MLRS, ammunition and personnel, the continuation of the defense of the city would lead to fatal consequences. In order to preserve the lives of Ukrainian defenders, a decision was made to withdraw.

We continue the fight. Unfortunately, steel will and patriotism are not enough for success - material and technical resources are needed.

The defenders of Luhansk oblast and other oblasts of our country heroically perform their civil and military duties.

[Alex_Sor]

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02 to 04.07 were approximately:

Operational information as of 06:00 07/04/2022 regarding the Russian invasion.
The one hundred and thirty-first day of the Ukrainian nation's heroic resistance to the Russian military invasion has begun.
There were no significant changes on the Volyn, Polis and Seversky directions. On the last one, from the territory of the Kursk region, the aggressor used artillery and helicopters of the army aviation to defeat the positions of the Defense Forces in the areas of Vasylivske, Bilopillia, Bachivsk and Vovkivka settlements of the Sumy region.
In the Kharkiv direction, the grouping of the enemy's troops, with the support of the army aviation, is concentrating its efforts on restraining the actions of our troops and preventing them from going on the offensive. In the direction of the settlement of Prudyanka, Ukrainian soldiers resolutely suppressed the enemy's assault attempt.
In order to disrupt the control and communication system of the Defense Forces, the enemy actively uses radio-electronic warfare complexes.
In the Slavyansk direction, enemy units are trying to establish control over the settlements of Bogorodichne, Mazanivka, and Dolyna through assault operations. Fighting continues.
The enemy is regrouping troops to resume the offensive. For this purpose, a battalion tactical group was moved from the district of the city of Izyum in the direction of the settlement of Snizhkivka, and additional units of barrel artillery were deployed.
In the Donetsk direction, the main efforts of the enemy groups are focused on the gradual displacement of units of the Defense Forces on the Siversk - Fedorivka - Bakhmut line.

The enemy is improving the engineering equipment of the positions in the Novovoskresensky district.
As part of the logistical support of the troops, 17 wagons with ammunition were moved from the temporarily occupied Crimea to the "Kalanchak" railway station (Myrne, Kherson region).
Three carriers of sea-based cruise missiles of the "Caliber" type are in readiness for the use of missile weapons in the waters of the Black Sea.
The Ukrainian aviation and rocket artillery units continue to fire damage to ammunition warehouses and accumulations of manpower and military equipment of the Russian occupiers, not without success.

[Alex_Sor]

The Russian occupiers in the Donetsk region will raze the cities to the ground with the help of artillery, just as it was in the Luhansk region.

This is stated in the intelligence report of the British Ministry of Defense.

Intelligence notes that Russia’s relatively quick takeover of Lisichansk expands its control over virtually the entire territory of Luhansk region, allowing it to claim significant progress towards the political goal it presented as the immediate goal of the war, namely the “liberation” of Donbass.”

In addition, unlike previous stages of the war, Russia has achieved quite effective coordination between at least two groups of forces. This is the central group, which was probably led by Colonel General Alexander Lapin, and the South, probably under the leadership of the newly appointed General Sergei Surovikin.

Ukraine Needs Large Scale Artillery, Soon, or the War Could be Lost

 

https://smallwarsjournal.com/jrnl/art/ukraine-needs-large-scale-artillery-soon-or-war-could-be-lost
 

The war in Ukraine is actually much simpler than most of the wars of the past 75 years. The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Yemen, Vietnam, Bosnia, and many others were very complicated, with a lot of “gray areas.”  Most of these were civil wars, with warring factions, sectarian violence, and competing internal ideologies.  

The war in Ukraine is much simpler.  It is more 'black and white' than all the other wars since World War II.  It is “good vs evil”.  It is one horrible Army invading a sovereign neighbor and committed atrocities on an industrial scale against an entire civilian population.  It is the world vs. Russia. And it is why NATO was formed in 1949, to counter Russia.

The large-scale shelling of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk from multiple rocket launchers proves once again that Russia is purposefully targeting civilian rather than military targets.
This was stated by the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Ivan Bakanov, noting that the Security Service and the National Police have opened criminal proceedings for violating the laws and customs of war (Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
So far, 6 people have been confirmed dead. 15 people were also injured. The inspection of the shelling sites is ongoing.
"Among the dead is a family with a 12-year-old child. The list of targets includes residential buildings, a garden society, a filter station, a garage cooperative... That is, again, only civilian objects at which the occupiers fired cluster munitions. Such actions are another terrorist attack, which has already become a common tool for the enemy, and for which he will definitely bear responsibility," added the Head of the SBU, Ivan Bakanov.

[Alex_Sor]

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02 to 05.07 were approximately:

A pair of Ka-52 helicopters carried out airstrikes near Zarichny and Olgany.
Ukrainian aviation and missile and artillery units continue to strike enemy warehouses and invaders' concentrations, in particular in the Kherson region.
The Russian occupiers are demoralized and look for any opportunity to receive minor injuries. They resort to self-mutilation and various simulations of ill health. Only to return alive to the Russian Federation.
We believe in the Armed Forces! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!

Reflections on war... Artillery mathematics...

Ok, let's talk about "counter-battery radars".
The concept of a counter-battery radar involves responding to a threat after the fact. That is, after the enemy fired a shot. Moved forward into the area, deployed, received the coordinates of the target, approached. And fired a shot.
In 8-12 seconds, depending on what is flying and which radar, he will see the target in the air, after another 3 seconds. will calculate the coordinates from where it took off. Then these coordinates will fall on the corresponding countermeasures. On batteries/SRZV, on anti-missiles, on Erlikons-Rheinmetals, Iron Domes, etc. If they exist.
If they are not there, and there are only M777 - our D-30 howitzers, then they will fall. In general, everything is sad with the D-30 howitzer. With M777 - the process can begin. About 5 seconds. If they are already ready, charged, pre-aimed, then in 20 seconds they will find out and fire.
At the same time, if they have Excalibur (let's imagine), then it will fly to the enemy SRZV-Smerch. In principle - in general, and 45-50 (60-70) seconds in particular.
During this time, the SRZV Smearch (we assume a distance of 60 km, at which Escalibur will still reach Smerch) will release a package of missiles in 40 seconds.
After that, SRZV Smearch will start to drive away.
Excalibur (projectile) will arrive at the coordinates given by the counter-battery radar in 12+3+5+20+65= 105 seconds.
This is pure mathematics, without taking into account the "human factor" on both sides. As you can see, the concept with which the American military left us alone is, to put it mildly, dubious. And the greater the distance, the more doubtful. I also neglect the distance at which the radar begins to see shells/missiles. I believe that it sees missiles and shells at all 60-70 km.
In the case of the SRZV Tornado-S, it is a complete mathematical and physical fiasco of M777s + counter-battery radar, even with Excaliburs.

What opposes this American concept to Russia: One hundred percent "eagle coverage" of the battlefield. (massive use of Orlan-10 drones) When the target (Ukrainian howitzer) is detected while approaching the position. Before stopping, deploying, aiming and firing. If three units of SRZV/self-propelled artillery batteries are waiting for you, then as soon as you stop, a projectile is already flying at you. It takes off in 25-30 seconds and arrives in another 30-120 seconds. And you haven't even got around to sticking your compass into the ground to start adjusting the howitzer's barrel angle.

Therefore, the concept of online eagle cover in such conditions completely prevails over the concept of anti-battery radars. What we see in our sad military statistics.
In the case of HIMARS as a counter-battery, the situation is much better, because at least in terms of distance, we are superior to the MSTA self-propelled guns with conventional shells, and on par with the Tornadoes. And if our missiles were not limited in range, they would be equal to the Tornado-S.

As another example of the fact that Western concepts do not work at all in the conditions of supplying us with a limited range of means.

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02 to 07.07 were approximately:

Operational information as of 6:00 p.m. 07/07/2022 regarding the Russian invasion.
The one hundred and thirty-fourth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian nation to the Russian military invasion continues.
No changes in the condition, composition and nature of actions of units of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus were noted in the Volyn and Poliske directions. There is still a threat of missile and bomb attacks from the territory of this country.
In the Siverskyi direction, the enemy, in order to demonstrate their presence, shelled the areas of Vovkivka, Kindrativka, and Myropyllya of the Sumy region with artillery. In addition, he carried out airstrikes near Esmani and Myropyllya.
In the Slobozhansk direction, the enemy continues to concentrate efforts on holding positions and preventing the advancement of units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine deep into the temporarily occupied territory. During the day, tanks, barrel and rocket artillery were used to shell settlements in the Kharkiv region along the contact line.

Russian invaders are destroying villages in order to reach the administrative border of the Luhansk region.

This was announced by the head of the Lugansk regional military administration Sergei Gaidai.

"In order to reach the administrative border of the Lugansk region, the Russians destroy the surrounding villages with artillery. That is, they are not stopped even by the fact that civilians remain there, who die in houses and yards. Of all types of heavy weapons, they do not stop firing on Belogorivka and Zolotarevka "They use cannon and rocket artillery. They hit houses, every building that seems to them a possible fortification. To advance, they do not consider personal losses and do not feel sorry for the inhabitants of the region," he said.
