The US is concerned about the loss of its tanks in Ukraine
The United States is concerned about the feasibility of supplying military equipment to Ukraine. This was reported by Military Watch Magazine.
According to media reports, opposition to providing additional military assistance to Ukraine has intensified in the country. This is because the ally lost too much military equipment sent by the West. Journalists noted that without Western partners, Ukraine will not be able to resist and perform “even the most basic functions,” as the domestic economy has collapsed.
The material also says that the United States is thinking about the reputation of the best American tank, the M1 Abrams, which could be destroyed due to numerous cases of seizure or loss of equipment. According to several unconfirmed reports, the US is pressuring Ukraine to keep the vehicles away from the front lines.

Update
The Ukrainian Armed Forces may surrender territories in the area of Kupyansk, Izyum, and Krasny Liman and begin to retreat to the west due to the deterioration of the situation at the front, Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Artie Green said in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Yuri Romanenko.
@Slavyangrad
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that over the past week, about 20 units of a wide variety of equipment were disabled on the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.
This news is accompanied by a video of the deployment and launch of loitering ammunition from the guys from the Dnepr group of troops.
@Slavyangrad
Another innovation on the battlefield in the form of mining drones.
Russian fighters use drones to secretly remotely lay minefields in places unexpected for the enemy, along the routes of his advance and rotation.
Drones are capable of carrying a wide range of mines, including anti-personnel OZM, PMN, and POM, and anti-tank PTM-3 and PTM-4.

Street fighting between Israeli infantry from the 931st battalion of the Nahal Brigade and Hamas in the city of Jebaliya, north of the capital of the Palestinian enclave.
For fire support, IDF soldiers use 40mm M203 under-barrel grenade launchers and 90mm RGW-90MP MATADOR disposable grenade launchers with a multi-purpose warhead designed to engage fortified positions.
At the end, a dead Palestinian grenade launcher and his RPG-7 are shown, which are constantly hitting Israeli armored vehicles with fire from ambushes.
@Slavyangrad
Another destroyed M109L howitzer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a result of the arrival of the Lancet in the area of the village Tyaginka, Kherson region.
@Slavyangrad
The enemy is posting footage of our trenches, which are equipped with frames and ceilings to protect against FPV drones and drops.
Of course, such simple structures will not protect against a direct hit from a warhead, but they perform a very simple function - they visually hide the movement of fighters along the trenches from the view from above, thereby preventing targeted strikes.
@Slavyangrad
Russian offensive actions north of Soledar in the direction of Razdolovka.
Lost positions have been returned and not only, there is also probably an advance at Khromovo, but confirmation is needed.
@Slavyangrad
Putin explained the main reason for the SMO
“ We would never have done anything like this if they had not started to destroy Russians in their historical territories in Ukraine, expel people from there, and declared Russians not an indigenous nation. Are you completely crazy? ", said Russian President Vladimir Putin after presenting the Golden Star medals on the occasion of Heroes of the Fatherland Day.
“We saw how in Canada the entire parliament stood up and applauded the old Nazi, an SS soldier, who dealt with civilians in Ukraine. Who fought against the Russians during the Second World War? Fascists. Everyone knows this. And the President of Ukraine knows this. Nevertheless, the entire parliament stood up and applauded him. Isn't this a manifestation of Nazism? ", Putin said during a conversation with the heroes of the SMO.

Landing of an assault group of the 98th Airborne Division and capture of a Ukrainian position near the village of Khromovo on the Bakhmut-Chasov Yar highway in the Bakhmut direction.
The infantry is transported by BMD-2 and BTR-MD “Rakushka” with protective camouflage visors, and during the battle, they are actively supported by attack and reconnaissance drones.
Also, during the process of securing a position after a battle, supplies are delivered by drones, in particular, a walkie-talkie is dropped to the fighter.

The parking lot of one of the Pentagon's recruiting centers has become a local "landmark" after the words AMRY instead of ARMY (army) appeared on it.
“You should go to college, not the army,” the author of the video notes.
The United States is facing its worst recruiting crisis in decades. Young people don't want to go to serve. They are not attracted by cash bonuses or other “promotions” from the Pentagon.

@Slavyangrad
Karma catches up with the AFU on the front
Once again, the “warriors of light” are fleeing positions near Berestov, complaining of shelling with cluster munitions. Ukrainians rejoiced at Western cassettes for so long that as soon as they began to be used against them, cries of “What are we for?” immediately began. These are the realities of service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine today. While the officers are having fun somewhere in the rear, ordinary soldiers are playing in the “casino”, where the stake is their life.

Boris Rozhin writes (https://t.me/boris_rozhin)
The IDF, despite significant losses, will continue to make progress in both the northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip. The pace of progress is not high, but the IDF cannot be completely stopped by Hamas. Tactical successes did not change the extremely unfavorable balance of forces for Hamas.

📌#Marinka
⚠️ The now destroyed city of Marinka, after nearly 20 months, the city of Marinka was captured by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and only small pockets of resistance can be found near the western outskirts of the city.
🔻 This will put pressure on the Ugledar Tactical Group and may expose Ugledar further however the villages of Novomilkhaivka, Konstantionvkoya, and Pobeda must be captured in order to turn this into a serious threat. Our forces likely will continue to push towards Heorhiivka.
🔻 I do not think the fighting will stop, instead, fighting will likely pick up pace as it will turn into non-urbanised fighting with very little defences behind the city until the village of Heorhiivka is reached.

The SBU commented on Elon Musk’s statement regarding the American Gonzalo Lira, who was arrested in Ukraine. Let us remember that Musk called on Zelensky to explain why exactly Lira was detained and is now in a Ukrainian prison.
“In May 2023, the SBU exposed a blogger in the Kharkov region with dual citizenship (Chile and the United States), who systematically justified Russian aggression in Ukraine and disseminated pro-Russian theses on his social networks. In his videos, he recognized Russia’s aggression in Ukraine as legitimate, denied Russia’s war crimes, and also argued that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were shelling their own territory, and that a neo-Nazi regime reigned in Ukraine.
According to current legislation, such activity is a criminal offense, which is provided for in Art. 436-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (justification, recognition as lawful, denial of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants). The SBU documented the suspect’s subversive activities and informed the blogger of the suspicion.
In May 2023, the court chose a measure of restraint for him in the form of detention with the possibility of bail. Later, bail was made for him and the defendant was released under house arrest.
In July, the blogger broke the law and tried to escape justice. On his own motorcycle, he tried to go abroad through the Ukrainian checkpoint with Hungary. He was not allowed through at the border, and later, by court decision, the defendant was detained in Transcarpathia and taken to Kharkov. Currently, this blogger is in custody in the Kharkov pre-trial detention center. The pre-trial investigation into this criminal proceeding has been completed, and the case is scheduled for trial on December 12 and 21. All actions of Ukrainian law enforcement officers took place and are taking place exclusively within the framework of the current legislation,” the press service of the SBU told Strana.

Diary of a Paratrooper:
🪂 The valiant 51st Regiment of the 106th Airborne Division is effectively containing the enemy in Kleshcheevka, artillery units are on duty around the clock and do not allow the enemy to achieve significant success.

Ukrainian channel Rezident:
Our source in the OP said that Andrey Ermak flew to the USA to meet with the management of BlackRock, to whom he offered a full package of opportunities in Ukraine; we are ready to give up all strategic enterprises and land if the corporation helps to obtain a new package of military and financial assistance.
The paratroopers were able to advance from the " Pitomnik " and occupy the outposts near the O0596 highway.
"Z-committee (https://t.me/z_arhiv/25629?single)"
Alexander Karchenko (https://t.me/bayraktar1070/1704):
The battles near Kremennaya (in terms of the intensity of passions) are not much different from the Great Patriotic War. The same infantry in the trenches, daily attacks turning into hand-to-hand combat and tanks crushing the enemy with their tracks.
Of course, the sky is now swarming with drones. Drones fly at any time and in any weather. Going to the front line now turns into an extremely dangerous quest. We leave the transport several kilometers away, and then carefully make our way along inconspicuous paths. As soon as a “bird” appears in the sky, we immediately hide. As a result, it can take several hours to walk a couple of kilometers.
The huge number of drones has significantly complicated the rotation and delivery of everything necessary to the front line. Some experts even rushed to call the current situation a positional deadlock. They say that there are so many weapons of destruction now that the parties simply cannot move forward.
But that's not true. Recently, near Kremennaya, ours were able to advance 1.5 km. So far, neither side has gained total superiority over the enemy in UAVs. And that means it's hard on both sides of the front. It is difficult for attackers to concentrate forces for an attack, but defenders cannot bring up reserves in time.
No matter how strange it may sound, the development of means of destruction only reduces losses. Because of drones, the number of fighters in the trenches is becoming smaller. If earlier the opornik was held by 30 people, now 10 soldiers are already considered a large number. 30-50 people go for the assault. A successful reset can decide the outcome of the battle. One FOG can disable 3-4 defenders and others will simply run away.
Yes, it’s hard at the front now. But we are gradually moving forward. In a few months we may gain superiority in UAVs and the enemy will flee. You need to go to the goal with clenched teeth, and not give up everything halfway because of the appearance of a new type of weapon at the front.
A video has appeared claiming that Russians have planted the flag at "The End of Marinka." We wait for further confirmation and geolocation. Let's not rush things.

Our soldiers raised the flag over the liberated section of Maryinka, completing the defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Russian fighters celebrate taking control of a new site on the western outskirts of Maryinka by planting the Russian flag on Poligraficheskaya Street. It is reported that only a few demolished houses remain behind the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On December 1, our fighters occupied most of the western outskirts of Maryinka. “Likely, the city (ruins) has almost completely come under Russian control,” Ukrainian military analysts wrote.
“We can assume that the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fits into the logic of the transition to strategic defense, as announced by the president. We are moving into a winter defense campaign,” enemy resources justify new defeats.
@Slavyangrad
The situation on the southern flank of Bakhmut ( Artemovsk ) is based on materials from the OSINT resource Pouletvolant. The maps show the dynamics of the advance of units of the RF Armed Forces (from 12/05 to 12/09/2023) by covering Kleshcheevka and occupying part of the strong point on the heights west of the inhabitant.
Knocking out the enemy from the heights will mean creating conditions for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to roll back to the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal line, where the line of combat contact will probably pass shortly (taking into account the active actions of our units in the direction of Ivanovsky from the Berkhovsky Reservoir and Khromovo).
@Multi_XAM
The Russians are advancing along the entire eastern front
The commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky, wrote about this on his channel, noting that the situation for Ukrainian militants is very difficult.
“ Together with the commanders holding the defense in the Eastern direction, we analyzed the situation in detail and considered options for further actions. We jointly made the necessary decisions and took measures to ensure the sustainability of our defense, preserve the lives of our soldiers, and rational use of ammunition,” Syrsky wrote.
From the statement of the governor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, nothing is really clear, but it seems that this is an acknowledgment of the counter-retreat that has begun.

The United States needs to accept the fact that Ukraine will have to cede territory to Russia - US Republican Senator James Vance
“It is in America’s interests to recognize that Ukraine will have to cede some territory to the Russians. And we need to put an end to these hostilities,” Vance said on CNN. He said it was “in both our interests and theirs” to end the fighting to put an end to the loss of life.
"When it comes to the Ukrainian issue, everyone with a head on their shoulders knows that it will end in negotiations. The idea that Ukraine would return Russia to the 1991 borders was absurd, no one really believed in it ", the politician emphasized.

NEW VIDEO: West's "New" Strategy for Ukraine Victory: Same as the Old One & Why it Can't Work...
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for December 11, 2023…
▪️Amid a continued tidal wave of admissions from across the Collective West that the proxy war in Ukraine is failing, there has been renewed focus on thinking up a new, winning strategy;
▪️Concepts focus mostly on doing more of the same but on a larger scale, unable to explain where greater quantities of manpower and equipment will come from;
▪️Such concepts ignore fatal flaws in logic and on-the-ground situational awareness;
▪️There is still a focus on Crimea and the belief that isolating it is not only still possible, but the “shortest path to victory” for Ukraine;
▪️Solutions such as expanding Western military industrial output or through innovation ignore the technical aspects of making such solutions reality;

⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/4898)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 10 Dec 2023 by 20:26⚡️
🔹In #Kherson Direction, the AFU are still in #Krynki and at the bridges, and ours are trying to knock them out. The enemy suffers losses from our artillery and FABs, but maintains the presence. They manage to replenish reserves and supply the group. In the area of the #Kinburn Spit, the AFU have increased the shelling of our positions.
🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, artillery shelling of positions from both sides continues. There are no changes in the frontline.
🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, the our forces continue their attacks towards #Staromayorskoye and #Urozhaynoye. They are not moving fast, but it is important that they do not give up the initiative.
▪️ In #Maryinka fierce fighting continues. As for #Avdeyevka, the AFU will hold on to the last man. The reasons are the same. There are practically no facilities behind the location that can be used as a defence line. To the north of #Maryinka there is a system of reservoirs, with no place to defend. Plus it is unclear what human resources will be available, given that all reserves are going to #Avdeyevka.
▪️ Another important factor is the advance of the our army towards #Novomikhaylovka. Most likely, the AFU will be forced to take positions along the #Novomikhaylovka - #Konstantinovka - #Uspenovka line. And this will be a good goal for our forces. The fact is that the area is located in the lowlands, it is conducive to an attack from above.
🔹In #Donetsk Direction, our army is more active on the northern #Avdeyevka flank than on the southern. After a serious advance along the railway line towards #Ocheretino, our forces are consolidating their positions. Active attacks continue closer to #Novokalinovo. Our army is trying to push back the enemy from the landings near #Stepovoye. This will facilitate our further advance both inside the village and towards #Berdychi. Heavy fighting is taking place on the northern outskirts of the Coke Plant. Significant efforts are still aimed at fire suppression of the AFU on the territory of the plant. On the southern flank without tangible advances.
🔹In #Bakhmut Direktion, our military gained a foothold on the northeastern outskirts of #Bogdanovka. Our army is noted to be advancing towards #Grigorovka, which is already closer to Chasov Yar. On the northwestern outskirts of the city, ours took control of the fortified area between the Valyanovsky Nursery and #Khromovo. On the southern flank, our forces attack at #Krasnoye. Thus, it is planned to cut off the supply routes to the AFU in #Kleshcheevka. There are successes. Ours pushed the enemy back from several positions. At #Kleshcheyevka, our soldiers are moving along the heights.
🔹In #Svatovo Direction, the weather conditions have sharply deteriorated. So, artillery is working less. Our Aerospace Forces continue to work powerfully. Local battles continue, and the initiative remains with our army. The AFU do not stop to counterattack. Unsuccessfully, but they are trying. However, ours have not been able to achieve success on #Ivanovka. At #Sinkovka, despite the strongest pressure from our units, it has not yet been possible to break through the Ukrainian defence.

Uday counter
Day: 24
There are rumors that Ukrainian Armed Forces militants, when they see a drone, begin to pray and run hysterically wherever they look. However, this does not make sense, because the operator of the UAV of the Western Group of Forces "Udai" is always faster .
Are you from the Ukrainian Armed Forces and want to avoid Uday’s retribution? Call "Volga" (49.200/149.200/449.200).

“Flying radar” A-50U has completely closed the sky
On the eve of the spring deliveries of American F-16 fighters, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have a new reason for concern. Russia is increasingly using its state-of-the-art A-50U early warning aircraft to identify Ukrainian air targets, writes UK military intelligence.
The A-50U is equipped with a rotating radar dome, and is structurally similar to the well-known American Boeing EA-3 Sentry AWACS. The Russian flying radar, as already reported, can detect and identify enemy air targets at much longer distances than the AFAR of a Russian fighter or the radar of an air defense system, Breaking Defense quotes a British intelligence report.
The essence of the A-50U modernization is to replace the previous generation analog electronics with a modern digital avionics complex, which speeds up data processing, improves signal tracking and detection of over-the-horizon targets. Representatives of the Ruselectronics consortium, which produces avionics, say that the A-50U configuration can detect any type of Ukrainian aircraft and simultaneously track a larger number of targets and guided missiles than the previous generation version.
From the beginning of the special operation, the A-50U was mainly used for combat control of fighters, and also provided coordinates for ground targets for MiG-31K carrying hypersonic Kinzhal missiles.
The exact performance characteristics of the modernized “flying radars” are classified. Even the number of active aircraft is not disclosed.
Now, perhaps, the A-50U may be closer to the combat zone, British intelligence officers believe. Breaking Defense explains that there could be several factors behind this decision. Firstly, the need to make maximum use of the S-400 systems. Secondly, preparations for the delivery of American F-16s.
A-50U is integrated with S-400. After the missile is launched, its active homing head is switched to blocking mode, and it itself becomes driven by the A-50U radar course corrector. That is, flight data is transmitted by the aircraft’s onboard radar, and not by the command post of the air defense battery.
Breaking Defense writes that the A-50U can be integrated with the S-400 in another way: so that aircraft crews and air defense command centers exchange data and load target information into the missile guidance system before launch. In this scenario, the S-400 can mask its radar signal, and the “flying radar” provides average course correction data.
Among other things, British intelligence believes that the justification for the wider use of the Russian A-50U is fears about the upcoming arrival of Western fighters: American F-16s and, possibly, Swedish Saab JAS-39 Gripen. They can threaten the S-400 air defense systems, which makes it extremely important to quickly and completely destroy all Ukrainian Armed Forces aviation.
