Battlefield update:

Kharkiv:

positional war, nothing significant. War for exhaustion – both sides without reserves.

Izium:

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί movements from Balakliia to the Pryshyb (in direction to Kharkiv), due to πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ plans. In last 2 days πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ pushed πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί back near Brazhkivka-Barvinkove. πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί attempts for 120 days near Sviatohirsk-Pryshyb [other one].

Siversk:

Failed πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί attempts to attack on Hryhorivka-Serebrianka. More πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί attempts at Spirne, Bilohorivka.

Bakhmut:

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί trying to reach crossroads of M-03 from Pokrovske. Near Semyhiria πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί trying to create risk of encirclement, and force πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ to retreat, to avoid urban battles. There are not much forces left, mostly LNR/DNR armies. πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί movement speed and artillery support significantly decreased. Currently there are 12-15 BTGs from Siversk to Holmivskyi, in comparison Lysychansk offensive started with 30 BTGs.

Verkhnotoretske-Avdiivka:

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί trying to half-encircle Avdiivka from north. Near Pisky πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί doing frontal assaults, gained couple hundred metres, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ retreated to more favorable positions. Both locations have doubtful prognosis for πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί, most likely doing attacks in order to not ask stupid questions.

Vuhledar:

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ advances to Mykilske and Yehorivka

Zaporozhye:

no significant movements, πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί accumulating forces near Tokmak-Melitopol. There was some hits at Melitopol in last 2 days.

Kherson:

3 πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί armies (about 30 BTGs) deployed, command posts on both sides. Right bank about 22-25 BTGs. πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί plans offensive on Kryvyi Rih and Mykolaiv. Citizens should not worry, πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί forces are not battle-ready – inflated personnel, many missing, low morale and bad equipment.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί objective is to prepare until 6th of August, but offensive could be delayed. Expecting πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί to advance in 2 opposing directions, and get stopped. It would be more complicated, if πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί would choose not to attack, and only defend.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ has enough forces to stop πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί. Enough weapons to stop πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί offensive, and create conditions for πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ offensive. Yesterday πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί train with 40 carts was destroyed. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ has specific intent, the more πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί arrives there, the better.

Missiles:

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ 4 more M142 HIMARS, πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ MARS II MLRS.
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ next aid package contains of missiles and artillery ammo.
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ has obtained anti-radar missiles for aircraft.
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ ATACMS missiles with range of 300km promised
It would be nice to have all weapons in double amount. Currently πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ can launch 168 missiles in single volley. There are 200 operational level πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί targets

Missiles could be intercepted by Tor air defense system, but they have limited range and can’t be deployed everywhere. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ is also using tricks to overcome such defenses.
This is cat and mouse game, both sides changing methods, trying to guess other side methods. Possibly some have been intercepted, but that is very complicated task.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί video of destroying HIMARS on 2nd floor of building:

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί military command tries to fool local population, foreign population, and most importantly Putin. Putin allows to be fooled, because he wants to hear good news.

Drones:

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ has TB-2 Bayraktar and πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Kamikaze drones. Rumors of πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί getting better with intercepting drones. πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί navy couldn’t protect it’s headquarters from home-built drone launched by partisans.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί has radio jammers, that could stop some drones, however not all drones use radio, many are autonomous. There are different methods to overcome jamming.

War is not who shoots who, it’s who outsmarts who. Nobody sends drone in straight line, army is orchestra, where everyone is playing. Best results are from interaction of multiple resources, that need to be organized.

Simplest example: radio jammer is working at some location, suddenly there is artillery shelling – of course it will get turned off and hidden. Meanwhile a drone gets by.

πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Ό Taiwan:

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ forces would defend πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡Ό directly, as they have promised multiple times. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ forces are not involved in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ gets military assistance that has long been dedicated and planned. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ has been fighting WW2 in multiple fronts, now with improved logistics and communications πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ shouldn’t get less attention, no matter what happens.

If πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ China gets into war with πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, helping πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί would be least of their priorities. Hard to fight war with somebody who’s trade makes 85% of your economics. After war with πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³, nobody would be afraid to deal with πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί, as it’s least scary.

πŸ‡½πŸ‡° Kosovo – πŸ‡·πŸ‡Έ Serbia:

Preliminary information ofπŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί special services presence, involved in provocations from πŸ‡·πŸ‡Έ. Everyone understands who is to blame.

Olenivka massacre:

Red cross not allowed to visit. πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί reasons:
– feed the victory against Azov
– to turn relatives and part of population against current πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ government
– involve HIMARS
– provoke brutality from πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦, use that as argument
Assuming that guarantees (which were confidential) were given by πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡³UN, πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡· Turkey and Red cross, waiting for their response.
Investigation can ask right questions, that can reveal a lot.

Mykolaiv bombings:

If at the moment of signing grain deals, dies a person who is in grain business, there is no doubt, it is related. Establishing the relations needs more knowledge in business.
