Ich beobachte es immer wieder, auch in meinen Kommentaren, daß man auf „DEN Angriff“ der AFU🇺🇦 wartet, „DER Angriff“ wo 200 MBTs + Infanterie die 🇷🇺 Linien durchbrechen, & man wacht morgens auf, und die AFU🇺🇦steht 40km weiter. — Das wird es meiner Meinung nach so nicht

Depuis mon voyage en #Ukraine, je pensais que la contre-offensive aurait lieu fin mai / début juin, puisque c'est la date à laquelle les équipages de chars Challengers m'ont dit qu'ils seraient prêts. Sauf que plusieurs éléments me font penser que ce sera plus tard.⤵️
D'abord, on me souffle dans l'oreillette que les Challengers sont les premiers chars occidentaux dispos, mais que les autres ont besoin de plusieurs semaines d'entraînement supplémentaire (prise en main OK, mais manque coordination tactique avec autres blindés en combat).
Il y a ensuite ces incursions en territoire russe, dans la région de Belgorod et ailleurs. L'objectif est d'obtenir un redéploiement russe du front vers la frontière, des mvt qui mettront des semaines à être exploités par les Ukr, même si 1er mouvements déja visibles.
1. To defeat the #RussianInvasion IMO #Ukraine needs to destroy the rail and road connections from Western Russia to Eastern Ukraine. They also need to interrupt the Russian ability to arm especially artillery ammunition and tanks. The maps tell me Ukraine may be doing it.
2. I have my Google Earth Pro updated with NASA Firms fires data on a constant feed. I spotted these today. The ones near #Voronezh #Rossosh and #StaryOskol caught my eye. They are all near rail lines and the ones near Stary Oskol are in what appears to be a steel production
3. facility that would be a good candidate for production of the steel blanks that are needed to fabricate artillery ammunition. Here is Stary Oskol. It appears to be a factory near a mining facility. Old-timey Stalinist industry practice of the factory near the mine.

Yesterday proved quite a busy news day and expanded to bring news of mass protests in both Serbia and Georgia.
Zelenskyy in Japan, Lavrov's family fleeing, the UN negotiating with war criminals, and bad news from Bakhmut. It's all here⬇️
Zelenskyy in Japan, Lavrov's family fleeing, the UN negotiating with war criminals, and bad news from Bakhmut. It's all here⬇️
This morning @ZelenskyyUa seemed to confirm that #Russia is in full control of #Bakhmut, saying "it's a pity, it's a tragedy, but for today Bakhmut is only in our hearts."
But later the #Ukraine President's Office later "clarified" they were still holding a position in the town.

@TheStudyofWar #Russia analyst @georgewbarros spoke with @insidermildef about the impact of #StormShadow missiles on Russian tactics:
2/ "#Ukraine used the HIMARS to degrade the effectiveness of #Russia's battlefield tactic, which depended heavily on Moscow's ability to stage massive amounts of artillery shells near the front line to sustain a high rate of fire, [@georgewbarros] said.
3/ "To mitigate their new problem, Russian forces had to move their ammunition back outside the range of the HIMARS to prevent it from being destroyed."
🧵 Adesso è partita la bambola degli F-16 all’#Ucraina, con inclusa illusione (fomentata da chi li vende) che siano dei “game-changer”. Ricordiamo i precedenti invii di nuove miracolose armi che non hanno cambiato assolutamente niente dall’inizio della guerra: 1/n
1. Gli #stinger: missili terra-aria con lanciatore a spalla: avrebbero dovuto impedire ai russi la superiorità aerea e il supporto di elicotteri alla fanteria. Ne abbiamo inviati migliaia, non è cambiato granché. 2/n
2. Gli #HIMARS: sistemi di lancio di missili a corta-media gittata (MLRS o ATACMS) che avrebbero dovuto minare la superiorità dell’artiglieria e della logistica russa colpendo le retrovie: al momento irrilevanti tranne per un unico colpo inferto alla vigilia di Natale 2022. 3/n

1. Thursday saw #Russian tactical situation worsen around #Bakhmut. Despite #Prigozhin's warnings to the Russian command of the need to reinforce Russian flank at #SakkoiVantsetti, the updated map indicates that Ukraine opened this new line of attack and was already successful.
2. The loss of this key position will allow the Ukrainians to move south towards #Bakhmut over very favorable ground. In preparation Ukraine conducted artillery strikes on #Paraskoviika and #Krasnopolivka.
In the south Wagner moved to reinforce the approach to #Klishchiivka with

Another night, another attack on #Kyiv.
It's the 9th multi-missile assault on #Ukraine's capital this month but local officials reort all objects were shot down.

1. #Ukraine continues shaping operations south of #Bakhmut. As the #Russian forces are focused on the center of Bakhmut and seek to advance on Ukrainian forces in the city, Ukraine continues to prepare what appears be a move to surround the seemingly oblivious Russians.
2. Today, Ukraine in control of high ground, commenced artillery strikes on a broad area of the southern Russian-held territory in possible preparation for an advance. By hitting rear areas Ukraine eliminates Russian reserve forces & puts their supplies and ammunition at risk.
3. In addition to the artillery strikes, Ukraine is conducting aerial reconnaissance that resulted in destruction of a Russian anti-air system as far away as #Kodema.

It's always been a problem for Moscow after sending most of its domestic protection to #Ukraine, only to have to bring some back as #Kyiv shows more ability to hit long range targets.

Storm Shadow Strike
The trajectory of these missiles and the fact that they hit so far behind the frontline would suggest this was a Storm Shadow strike.
Preliminary reports claim the missiles hit a military complex outside of Luhansk.

First a strange tale from the far east of #Russia where a private helicopter cut through power lines during a "hard landing"
The Mi-2's landing cut off power to the Transneft station in Primorsky Krai.
It's so remote it took 2 days to find the chopper & the pilot's disappeared!

#StormShadow, finally delivered to #Ukraine.
This is a step forward, since now Ukraine is able to destroy targets it could not destroy so far. This applies especially to the bunkers in #Sevastopol but also offers a new (good) option for the #Kerch bridge.

To be clear: Storm Shadow is a Cruise Missile. It can safely be considered as the 5th or 4th most potent Cruise Missile types.
It is able to penetrate up to 10m reinforced concrete, even 9m below the surface. All that with 500+ km range.
No safe place.

It's brother is in French service. There it is called #SCALP for all those who wonder.
🧵Die empfundene Größe #Russland|s kaschiert nur sein Versagen: Warum Panik angesichts der russischen Offensive in der #Ukraine unangebracht bis gefährlich ist. Und was uns die aktuellen Vorgänge von #Vuhledar über #Bakhmut bis #Kreminna neuerlich lehren.
„Russland kann 29 Mio. (Männer) mobilisieren“, „Russland hat über 12.000 Panzer, kann 1.100 Panzer p.a. herstellen.“ etc. pp. Solchen und ähnlichen Aussagen ist jeder vielfach begegnet. Faktisch zwar richtig, ergeben sie trotzdem ein falsches Bild.
Zumeist ist die Schlussfolgerung daraus, dass 🇷🇺 den Krieg ewig fortsetzen könne und demnach am Ende gewänne. Diese Schlussfolgerung ist aber höchst zweifelhaft: Bei Kampfjets ist/war das Verhältnis mit mind. 11:1 besonders ungünstig für die 🇺🇦.
