Russia-Ukraine Reports - 2023-09-15
Telegram channel "Resident": American media report that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will soon visit Washington, where he will meet with Biden.
The outcome of the meeting may be a statement on the transfer of ATACMS operational-tactical missiles to Kyiv. https://t.me/rezident_ua/19665
...and then they get a nuclear bomb.
Sevmorzavod preserved dry docks after a missile attack
ForPost was told about this by a source at the enterprise.
“The dry dock's masonry and structures did not receive significant damage. But the most important thing is that the butoports (floating hydraulic gates used to lock the entrance to the dock) withstood the blow. If they were damaged, water would rush into the dock and flood the ships,” our interlocutor emphasized.

No air defense can protect either the Crimean Bridge, or Sevastopol, or Moscow. The only defense is the destruction of the Nazi Ukrainian state - the West's springboard in the war against Russia.
Footage of work on the restoration of the Crimean Bridge. The work on the left side lasted two months, but is now completely completed, and the movement of passenger cars has started. For the new span, 237 tons of metal structures were used.

Guardsmen of the "Storm" detachment of the 40th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet say hello and talk about the situation.
It is there that the enemy has now sent the main forces after heavy losses near Urozhayn. Vain attempts to cut off Novodonetskoye were unsuccessful. The "meat assaults" of the Ukrainian Armed Forces naturally all ended in failure.
In the video you can feel what the situation is now on the line of combat contact. In the hope of recapturing at least something, the enemy spares no ammunition, working across areas. Unlike the enemy, our artillery hits accurately and efficiently. The enemy's offensive impulse weakens.
Where we are, there is victory!

RIA Novosti correspondents report from the Rabotino-Verbove sector, which has become the hottest section of the front in recent months.
The soldiers say that the Ukrainian Armed Forces practically do not use armored vehicles for attacks, but try to attack in groups on foot.
The Russian special forces "Osman" are actively using FPV drones here, the main targets being lightly armored vehicles

❗️North Korea has been preparing for a Ukraine style war for decades stockpiling one of the worlds largest caches of artillery rounds, MLRS rockets all compatible for use in Russian systems.
✅The long-range 170-mm self-propelled artillery units M-1989 Koksan which can launch conventional high-explosive fragmentation ammunition up to 40 km, and active-reactive ammunition up to 60 km.
✅The 240 mm North Korean M1985 / M1991 MLRS launches rockets at a distance of at least 65,000 meters.
✅The 600-mm KN-25 MLRS of “super-large caliber”. These missiles fly about 380 kilometers and reached an altitude of 97 kilometers. The weight of the rocket is 3 tons.
👍But most importantly, unlike Ukraine and the Russian Federation, there is no corruption in North Korea.
🇰🇵That’s why Kim Jung Un has enough shells, rockets & rounds stored in his warehouses to arm an army of 8 millon men.
In comparison, before February 2022 the armies of the Russian Federation and Ukraine combined had enough rounds in storage to arm only 4.5 million men.
💥80% of the casualties in the Ukraine conflict are caused by artillery & MLRS rockets which North Korea can easily transfer to the frontline via the Trans-Siberian Railway.
☢In short, Russia's swaps space, aviation, nuclear submarine & ICBM technology in exchange for a unlimited 'all you can eat' access to North Korea's huge stockpiles.
🇺🇸🇦🇺🇩🇪🇬🇧 The West arms Ukraine with Vietnam era junk weapons and cardboard drones. Russia quietly responds by arming North Korea with all the military technology on Kim Jung Un's wish list.
🤬This is a huge geopolitical and diplomatic failure on the part of the AUKUS alliance.
🫵Putin warned the West to stop arming Ukraine. Now the West gets a taste of their own medicine.

Advisor to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, claims that Kiev is using Ukrainian-made weapons to attack Crimea .
He denies data from the Sky News channel that the Ukrainian Armed Forces used British Storm Shadow cruise missiles to attack Sevastopol. “ Sky News has its own sources. And they can comment there one way or another ,” Podolyak said in an interview with the Ukrainian Channel 24.
As is known, the Ukrainian authorities pledged not to use weapons received from the West for attacks on Russian territory.

❗️Head of Australia's army General Angus Campbell says disinformation from Russia is eroding trust and sowing discord in Australia. 🇦🇺🇷🇺
⚡️Australia's leading military leader directly accused the Russian Federation of wielding disinformation as “a weapon of statecraft”.
💥“By feeding and amplifying untruths and fake news on social media the Russians attacked American and British democracy during the Biden-Trump election, highlighting distrust, sowing discord and undermining faith in key institutions.”
💥Taken to their extremes, Campbell said, such operations had “the potential to fracture and fragment entire societies so that they no longer possess the collective will to resist an adversary’s intentions”.
⚡️Campbell reiterated his view that “conflict in our region would be catastrophic for all”. He said Australia had only a modest-sized military so a credible deterrence strategy would be a “team effort” alongside allies and other partners.
🇦🇺🇺🇸 🇬🇧Campbell insisted that Australia would maintain sovereign decision-making under the AUKUS deal, when asked about White House official Kurt Campbell’s comments that “when submarines are provided from the United States to Australia, it’s not like they’re lost”.
😂Bro. Is General Campbell talking about the @AussieCossack channel again❓
🇺🇦💥☠️Near Rabotino, the Ukrainian Armed Forces throw new reserves into battle
The Ukrainian army, against the backdrop of heavy losses in the Zaporozhye region, threw new reserves into battle, said the head of the “We are together with Russia” movement, Vladimir Rogov.
“ Suffering colossal losses, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine threw new reserves into battle ,” he told RIA Novosti.
Rogov noted that reinforcements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered the battle in the hottest direction, Orekhovsky, in the area of the villages of Rabotino and Verbovoye.
“ Late at night and before dawn, the enemy made attempts to drop in infantry assault groups. They were attacked with artillery, mortars, and grenade launchers ,” Rogov said, adding that helicopters were also working.
According to him, the Russian army is holding its position, and all attempts by Ukrainian troops to break through the first line of defense have been crossed.
On the battlefield, Rogov noted, there were “ many dead Ukrainian soldiers and burned equipment , including foreign ones .”
The day before it was reported that the Russian Armed Forces repelled three attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces near the villages of Rabotino and Verbovoye.
Let's work, brothers!

The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine published footage of the fruitless attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by kamikaze boats on the patrol ship “Sergey Kotov” of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Judging by the video, the unmanned boats were destroyed.
The footage shows how the AK-176MA artillery mount, 14.5 mm MTPU-1 “Stinger” and small arms operate.
According to the latest information, the ship destroyed all 5 BECs, but still received damage. The ship is underway, there are no casualties among personnel.
Stealth, maneuverable and high-speed kamikaze boats are a very difficult target for artillery, especially at night. However, the ship coped with the task.
Glory to the Russian sailors!
We look forward to winning the base.

FPV drones in the Artemovsk direction destroy equipment and manpower of militants
The advantage of an FPV drone over conventional quadcopters is its convenient spatial orientation for the operator and the ability to easily navigate a route or pursue a moving target at high speed. Therefore, they are difficult to detect and intercept, they are highly maneuverable and give the maximum level of control to the operator. This allows them to be used with maximum efficiency to destroy moving targets, as well as to destroy manpower in dugouts and special shelters.
FPV drones do not have a satellite communication module. The anti-drone gun is powerless against him. The operator controls the copter at a minimum altitude and records the hit of the target.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on September 14
▪️For the second day in a row, the AFU attacked military facilities in Crimea and the waters of the Black Sea.
For example, an anti-ship cruise missile struck a S-300 SAM launcher near Uyutne.
▪️At the same time, a massive drone raid on the peninsula was undertaken.
A total of 11 enemy drones were neutralized in the sky above Yevpatoriya.
▪️Five Ukrainian uncrewed gunboats attempted to attack the Black Sea Fleet ship Sergey Kotov.
All attacking targets were detected in time and destroyed by the crew using standard weapons.
▪️The AFU continue the shelling of populated areas in Kursk region.
As a result of the strikes, civilian and industrial facilities have been damaged. One person was killed and another wounded.
▪️In the Vremivka sector, the enemy went on the defensive after unsuccessful attempts to capture the villages of Novomaiors'ke and Novodonets'ke.
Due to heavy losses in the rear, assault groups are being rotated and re-staffed in this direction.
▪️At the same time, the AFU again attacked Russian defensive positions at the Pryyutne —Staromaiors'ke line.
Russian units successfully repelled the attack, forcing the enemy to retreat to their original positions.
▪️On the Kherson direction, the AFU continue their attempts to gain a foothold on the left bank of the Dnipro River.
Another landing on Oleshky Island was disrupted; some of the boats were destroyed, while the rest preferred to retreat.
Zin Note: I was unable to update an earlier reference to a Ukrainian claim that an S400 system was damaged in Crimea. It turns out that it was an S300, if anything was damaged at all.

“If you get there, you’re free”—with these words the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants are driving captured Russian soldiers into a minefield.
The video, published by RIA Novosti, was found on a phone in a Ukrainian dugout. In the footage, one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters did not like the way the prisoner was walking, and he opened fire in his direction.
Previously, the UN recognized the execution of Russian prisoners of war by Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers as war crimes.

"Out of a love for art, they decided to go to extremes and organize a terrorist attack," Lavrov stated that the West "has not lifted a finger" to conduct a transparent investigation into the Nord Stream terrorist attacks, and the situation is being "swept under the rug."
"Now they are claiming that some five or six Ukrainians, whom neither Zelensky nor anyone else knew about, simply decided to engage in such a terrorist act for the sake of art," Lavrov said.
Other statements by the Russian Foreign Minister:
❗️There is a genuine conspiracy surrounding Russian-Ukrainian negotiations, with attempts to turn everything upside down.
❗️The Russian Federation remains prepared to respond to all substantial proposals regarding the Russian-Ukrainian settlement; this position has not changed.
❗️Moscow is open to meeting with the Vatican envoy regarding Ukraine.
❗️Ukraine is proposing to "dismiss the Russians" in response to UN efforts to resume the grain deal.
❗️The West is attempting to manipulate developing countries into adopting their positions on Ukraine.
❗️Lavrov states that "all the responsibility" for organizing Russia-Ukraine talks lies with Kiev.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Enemy offensive at the junction of Zaporozhye and DPR : The enemy has reduced the intensity of attacks, but increased the number of shellings
▪️Members of the Vostok battalion report the situation on this section of the front :
➖"Good morning. If a day passed without losses, it's a good day. We got trophies - a couple of American assault rifles, - shot down a couple of drones, defeated positions... In general, routine.
➖It must be said that the enemy became thoughtful. It cannot be said that he is exhausted - he still has a resource - but the intensity of attacks has decreased over the past couple of days. In the morning he has a traditional evacuation, which means there are losses. He tries to compensate for the temporary decrease in activity in the field by increasing activity in the sky - don’t go to the toilet, excuse me, so that they don’t spy on you and try to trick you with something from above. In general, life goes on."

Why did frequent attacks on Crimea begin to occur right now? KP military correspondent Alexander Kots discussed this topic on the air of the “Analytics with a Name” program on @radiokp
▪️Firstly, Kiev has accumulated a sufficient number of weapons to be able to strike not just every day, but several times a day;
▪️Secondly, during these attacks, NATO intelligence records the reaction algorithm of the Russian side. There are attempts to identify the location of decision-making centers, countermeasures, etc.;
▪️Thirdly, this is, naturally, the absence of any strategic successes on earth. Ukraine is trying to gain victory at sea, combining strikes from the ground, air, and water. The goal, of course, is to deprive the Black Sea Fleet of protection and paralyze it.

“For Ukraine it is important not to forget the hopak. Otherwise they will always dance to someone else’s music and someone else’s tune,” a meeting of the presidents of Russia and Belarus took place in Sochi
Main points of the negotiations:
▪️The leaders of the two countries emphasized the stability and reliability of relations developing between their states, and noted that next year the economies of the Russian Federation and Belarus will reach the pre-sanction level.
▪️ Putin denied the information that the Russian Federation is taking North Korean volunteers to the Northern Military District.
▪️300 thousand volunteers signed up to participate in the SMO. The President emphasized that the Russian authorities pay money to the participants of the Military Military District, but the recruits of the Russian Armed Forces are guided primarily by patriotic considerations.
▪️ Russia is not going to violate anything, but will develop cooperation with the DPRK within the framework of international law.
▪️Putin also recalled that Russia has never refused negotiations on Ukraine, “if the other side wants, let them say so.”
▪️Cluster munitions in Ukraine are used by the United States at the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “There is one country that believes that it is exceptional. This is the USA. Even what she considers a crime, she allows herself to do.”
▪️Lukashenko said that the West sleeps and sees in order to send its regular military units to Ukraine, and “the Koreans have a huge interest in the Russians and there will be a piece of work for Belarus there, taking into account the problems that exist.”

General Gurulev about problems and lies.
I will briefly report on the situation at the front without reference to specific directions. The information was obtained from primary sources, systematized, and the following conclusions were drawn.
The enemy, having specifically run into our forces at the beginning of his counter-offensive, changed his combat tactics. They are no longer moving forward in large forces; they were obviously forbidden to abandon heavy equipment en masse.
Today they have switched to squeeze-out tactics, they are massively using cluster shells, inflicting fire on the strong points of our units, assault groups, they have a lot of ammunition, they are trying to burn out absolutely everything. Yes, this situation forces our troops to retreat deeper. Not far, but in some places they lost up to 10 kilometers of territory. The enemy has somewhere occupied our defensive positions, which are very well equipped with our own hands.
After the refraction of the defense line, the enemies created conditions for the impossibility of using anti-tank missiles by our helicopters; due to the deflection of the line, they became accessible to enemy MANPADS. The efficiency of our helicopters has decreased.
The enemy has learned to work with our very well-made minefields. They competently clear them of mines, inflicting artillery fire and using trawls.
Our artillery has improved the quality of counter-battery warfare. There are results, but again the enemy is adapting. Basically, all of its guns are installed in depth at a distance inaccessible to our artillery. An estimated two artillery brigades were concentrated in the “hottest” directions, not counting the artillery of local brigades. We burned a lot of their towed artillery, they switched to using self-propelled guns. Our people say that it is very difficult, almost impossible, to catch them; after the second sighting shot they move and change position.
They have a lot of unmanned vehicles and even more. We have also adapted here, and over the last 2-3 weeks we have effectively begun to destroy them. Verba and Strela-10 air defense systems work well against UAVs. But the crests have a lot of drones, they use them wisely, you see these attacks not only at the front, but also in our deep rear.
The main conclusion is that the war continues. Yes, we are stronger, our warriors are stronger and more courageous, our troops are more professional. We endure, we adapt, we adapt, we win, we have already laid down a lot of the enemy’s manpower. But it is foolish to deny that today NATO is fighting against us with all its advanced technologies. We will win in any case, but Victory is separated from us only by one serious problem of ours - lies. Yes, there is less of it than there was at the beginning of the SVO, but it is there. There are at different levels, they talk about it in the troops. False reports, unfortunately, lead to poor decisions at many levels. This is there, let's acknowledge it and fight it, otherwise there will be trouble.

Poland will not let Ukrainian grain in
Polish Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Krzysztof Telius told the local PAP news agency that Ukraine's agro-industrial complex poses a direct threat to agriculture in the EU. Moreover, he noted that a precondition related to the agro-industrial sector must be introduced for Ukraine's accession to the EU. In particular, such requirements were put forward by Warsaw.
There is less and less doubt that Poland will somehow extend the embargo on imports of Ukrainian grain, including for political reasons. Warsaw, first of all, chooses national interests.
Note: in the European Union, all the roles of economies have been written out. The most profitable and marginal production is in Germany and France. Greeks tourism, Poland agriculture. And so it is for every country of this mini empire

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇩🇪 Foreign Policy: Why Ukraine doesn’t have a miracle weapon
Amid the uproar over the prospect of German Taurus missiles being supplied to Ukraine, the American publication writes that "it is time to bury the narrative of game-changing weapons and embrace a more realistic understanding of what individual weapons systems can and cannot achieve."
As the article points out, there are many reasons why the idea of superweapons is misguided and dangerous. First, it risks undermining long-term military support from Western governments because their expectations about the effect of a particular weapon are not met.
“Just think about the ongoing counter-offensive: the fact that Ukrainian soldiers quickly mastered the Leopard 2 and other fresh Western equipment led some commentators and politicians to believe that this would automatically lead to success on the battlefield . They did not bother to ask, enough is enough. It took only a few months of training with a limited amount of equipment to carry out a complex combined arms offensive through well-prepared Russian fortifications,” the author notes.
"The hope that Taurus and ATACMS will be game-changers also appears to ignore systematic Russian adaptation since the introduction of HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems in the summer of 2022. Russian forces have strengthened command and control posts, diversified their supply network and no longer rely on large and vulnerable ammunition depots near the front line,” the article states.
Let us add on our own: the high expectations from missiles, tanks and other systems both in Ukraine and in the West are reminiscent of the story of the German “wunderwaffe” (miracle weapon), with the help of which Nazi Germany hoped to turn the tide of the war since 1943. German propaganda fed its people with stories about miracle weapons until the end of the war.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kherson direction: new tactical group “Normandy” and Ukrainian symbolism
situation as of 17.00 September 15, 2023
🔻In the island zone of the Dnieper, the situation remains the same: the Ukrainian Armed Forces are still sending reconnaissance groups to consolidate on the islands, from which they plan to attack the left bank of the Dnieper in the future.
▪️Over the past 24 hours, one boat attempted to deliver personnel to the northwestern part of Aleshkinsky Island, where it was destroyed by concentrated rocket artillery fire.
▪️And another watercraft moored to Kozatsky Island from the northeast, where it was sunk by an accurate artillery strike. Moreover, a few hours earlier, two DRGs had landed from the north.
❗️The creation of another tactical group - “Normandy” - looks interesting. This is already the third formation of this kind in the Kherson direction : there are also “Grom” and “Omaha”.
And the name itself clearly alludes to the operation of the Allied forces to land troops in Normandy in June 1944. Such symbolism is characteristic of the Ukrainian authorities, and it is likely that this group will take an active part in crossing the Dnieper and storming the Kherson region.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to gain a foothold in the area of the “Surovikin Line” in order to ensure the passage of equipment in the future, but naturally they are not allowed to do this.
It is noteworthy that they are hiding in an anti-tank ditch. So it would be a good idea to mine it.

Fighting south of Artyomovsk: the situation in Andreevka and Kleshcheevka
In recent days, all attention has been focused on these two villages, which were practically wiped off the face of the earth. The enemy storms them with frenzy, suffering heavy losses. However, he fails to completely occupy them. Related to this is the incident of the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, who hastened to announce the occupation of Andreevka. In fact, both villages are mostly in the gray zone.
➖Klescheevka. Despite the fact that the enemy managed to push our troops back to the north-eastern part of the village, ours launched a number of counterattacks and improved their positions
➖Andreevka has not yet been taken by the enemy, they managed to push it away. The work of artillery on both sides does not stop. There are intense shooting battles for the village, reports Tatarstan military correspondent M. Gazdiev
▪️It’s interesting that Andreevka is being stormed by the promoted 3rd Assault Brigade “Azov” of motivated Nazis, but still cannot take the village completely. But she managed to invent some losses in the command staff of the brigade opposing her.

As pressure from the Russian Airborne Forces increased, this section of the front, surrounded on three sides, turned into a death trap. Ukrainian troops found themselves in the center of a ring of fire, the publication quotes the Militarist channel.
They are under constant fire from three directions. Russian artillery, aerospace forces, loitering ammunition and FPV drones do not ignore the Ukrainian group for a minute.
