The first batch of Abrams tanks arrived in Ukraine ahead of schedule – The New York Times
The newspaper writes that the Abrams have allegedly already been used during the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. There is no mention of the number of vehicles arriving in Ukraine.
The US Department of Defense noted that even more tanks will be delivered in the near future.
A total of 31 Abrams were promised. ❗️ The States, apparently, are supporting trial deliveries of a small number of ATACMS missiles with an accelerated transfer of ground equipment in order to give the Armed Forces the opportunity to die in even greater numbers and capture another destroyed settlement before the start of thaw and the onset of frost.
From the article:
• The first American-made Abrams tanks were delivered to Ukraine.
• The tanks were delivered several months ahead of schedule.
• More M1 Abrams tanks will be shipped in the coming months.
• The head of Ukraine's military intelligence warned of the need to use Abrams tanks for special operations.
• US troops began training Ukrainian troops in late spring.
• Ukraine received about half of the required number of Western tanks.
• The United States has allocated more than $76 billion in direct defense assistance to Ukraine.
• Old models of M1A1 tanks were sent instead of new modifications of A2.

A Skeptic's Best Guess On Final Map (Revised)
Our previous Best Guess was based on a political solution. It’s clear now that lives lost is not a factor. A political solution is now all but ruled out. The west wants to bleed Russia, without any particular strategy. The west will fight to the last Ukrainian Soldier and Polish Mercenary.

➖At the Torsky site, our troops thwarted the attack. In the morning, a platoon of the 63rd infantry brigade, together with an infantry fighting vehicle, concentrated for an attack.
The enemy has been exposed by military guards. As a result of artillery fire, the enemy suffered losses.
💥It is still problematic for units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to move due to constant fire exposure. Thus, today one vehicle of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was destroyed .
➖In Serebryansky forestry, our troops were able to improve the tactical position by occupying enemy trenches, which had previously been mercilessly subjected to artillery shelling and processing by FPV drones.

The United States has enough funds to supply weapons to Kyiv for only a couple of weeks, John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, told CNN.
"We still have a little bit of funds. I think it will last us for a few more weeks or so," he said.
Kirby noted that in the absence of additional appropriations from Congress, further aid to Ukraine could suffer, and therefore he called for another $24 billion.
He believes that the quick release of funds will help Ukraine, since favorable conditions for a counteroffensive remain there.

The United States and its NATO allies have tripled the number of reconnaissance flights in the Crimea region since the beginning of this year, according to data on the Flightradar24 portal analyzed by RIA Novosti.
During the week from September 18 to 24, US reconnaissance aircraft and strategic drones, as well as reconnaissance aircraft of their NATO allies, carried out 21 flights in the Crimea region .
At the beginning of the year and in the spring, US and NATO aircraft operated an average of one flight per day in the Black Sea region. For the week from January 16 to 22, there were only 7 flights in those areas, and for the week from May 15 to 21 - only 5.
A day before the attack on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet, which was carried out by the Ukrainian military using cruise missiles on September 22, the activity of reconnaissance flights by US aircraft and their allies increased to 6 flights per day.

All men will have to go to the front
This was stated by ex-adviser of Zelensky’s Office Arestovich, who was recently spotted in New York.
According to him, mobilization in Ukraine will intensify, and therefore, as the war drags on, the requirements for employment only with registration with the military registration and enlistment office will become stricter, and men will have to agree to this.
“And if the war drags on for 3 years, then all men will go through it,” Arestovich said.

NabrezhnyeIntel:
📍The enemy has extinguished nearly 70% of all of the equipment provided to him for the vaunted counteroffensive. The counteroffensive which supposed to slice our defences in half and reach Mariupol. Well, based on what we see, it hasn't exactly gone according to plan.
🔻 Our sources report that out of the 185 M2 Bradleys' donated, 99 have been entirely destroyed, and an additional 50 have received significant or damage of some nature. Such statistics can be seen for the AHS Krab SPG supplied by Poland, where out of 72, nearly 40 have been destroyed, and an additional 11 have received significant damage.
🔻 Or how the other day, when the enemy, near Novoselovskoye, tried to rout our special forces from decoy positions, lost 1/5 of all of their Leopard 2A6 "Strv" supplied from Sweden, and today, an additional one was destroyed near Kharkov.
🔻 For the rest of the equipment supplied to Ukraine, it is very hard to predict how many they have left. We know of atleast 3 HIMARs systems being destroyed, however this is insignificant when we know that they have at-least 6 operational at all times. But despite Zelenskys' statements that "Winter won't stop us", the lack of field artillery, armored, and most imporantly, personnel might catch up to them.
🔻 Nowadays, we estimate their losses to be close to 77,000 personnel, 1,750 Tanks & Armored Vehicles, and nearly 1,000 pieces of field artillery (including SPGs). And not mention, the indiscriminate shelling tactics they use, soon, this will catch up to them too. It's hard to estimate when they will run out of steam, but eventually, they will.
🔻 And through this time, the RF Armed Forces have been attentively equipping mobilised personnel, contract personnel, with offensive equipment. The lack of offensive operations means that we have not suffered significant losses in tanks, and armored vehicles. Such signs indicate that, eventually, we will go on an offensive of our own.

The enemy remains inactive and has not initiated any offensive actions. They continue to bring in personnel in small groups to populated areas. Artillery duels persist, with our forces intensifying artillery shelling to prevent the enemy's movement. Overnight, we targeted clusters with FABs.
In Verbovoye, the enemy has not interfered, and any claims of breakthroughs are false; the cost of their offensive is death.
The AFU are conducting rotations and reconnaissance, with three tanks approaching the settlement, two of which were subsequently destroyed.

Kiev admits that the Russian Armed Forces have destroyed a Ukrainian missile assembly site.
"What I can tell you is that, unfortunately, Russia has targeted the assembly point of these missiles," said Oleksiy Danylov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, in an interview with the Spanish newspaper ABC.
According to Danylov, this is the reason why Ukraine has relocated a portion of its missile production outside the country's territory.
He did not disclose the specific type of facility where the missiles were manufactured and also did not specify their type.
On Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported 12 Russian strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure, resulting in significant damage to the AFU.
