"The Russian phrase родился в рубашке (rodilsya v rubashke, literally 'born in a shirt') refers to caul birth and means 'born lucky'. It is often applied to someone who is oblivious to an impending disaster that is avoided only through luck, as if the birth caul persists as supernatural armor, and in this sense commonly appears in titles or descriptions of Russian dashcam videos."

I'm seeing reports that American strikes will begin in the next 48 hours. Multiple sources are talking it up as their biggest retaliation on Iran yet. I highly doubt they will hit Iran itself though.

Most likely to be the usuals (Yemen, Iraq, and Syria). But as always, we will see.

Front #Summary for 1 Feb 2024 by 21:22⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, no change in #Krynki. Not a village, but ruins. The surrounding areas are covered in craters from shells and aerial bombs. The AFUshniks are also trying to hide in them. Another group has been hit during the landing.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, northwest of #Verbovoye, the AFU managed to regain control of the western forest plantation. Perhaps our fighters were unable to confidently gain a foothold there under enemy artillery fire. Now the AFU are shelling the neighboring forest plantation and intend to try to take it too. Quite an unexpected turn. At the same time, I see no preconditions for further AFU advances.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, a video of the battle at #Sladkoye, is going viral. Our army lost both people and a lot of equipment, knocked out by drones. Obviously, ours did not have EW. Despite heavy losses, ours managed to expand the control zone by 3 sq. km. North of #Novomikhaylovka, our forces established control over the road west of the second #Zverinets and advanced along the forest plantation by about 800m. Unfortunately, also with losses.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, the most active battles are taking place on the southern outskirts of #Avdeyevka. Our military managed to cope with the AFU counterattacks and advanced along Sportivnaya Street. Given that control over this street is difficult without advancing along Sobornaya and Chernyshevsky Streets, it is likely that the AFU has been displaced there as well. To the east, our forces are advancing southwest of the Donetsk Filtration Station and have taken several more positions from the AFU. Our artillery and aviation are helping, they are hitting the AFU and helping our forces to consolidate their positions. The station is about a km away, and along the way there is a network of strongholds in the forest. The fighting will not be easy.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, west of the city, our frces advanced along the route to #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye) and expanded the bridgehead. Northwest of #Kleshcheyevka, new heights have been taken, our initiative is not given up.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, in the #Seversk sector, #Spornoye fully justifies its name (controversial), the positions are changing hands. The shelling of the AFU stronghold near the reservoir was recorded. This indirectly confirms that ours again withdrew from the centre of the village and most of #Spornoye is again under the AFU. In the #Kupyansk sector, our forces have entered #Ivanovka and are advancing towards #Kislovka. From the recently taken heights west of #Tabayevka, ours control the logistics of the AFU. This worsens their position at #Kislovka, which is a powerful fortification. Apparently, we are aiming to take the village in pincers.

☠️ Our army lost another unit of the Black Sea Fleet. At night, a dozen AFU marine drones attacked the "Ivanovets" Rocket Boat on the roadstead of Lake Donuzlav, a bay on the western side of #Crimea. The boat received direct hits, the detonations led to the sinking of the vessel. Hopefully the crew was saved. Was there electronic warfare, why are there no booms? It is unlikely that we will hear answers to these questions. There were no official messages. As, by the way, about the A-50 aircraft. The AFU tried to attack the #Belbek Airfield. A missile fell in the wasteland between the runway and the airfield fence. The likely target is our air defence, but the AFU footage shows Pantsir outlets, so most likely the target was not reached. In #Donetsk, a man was killed by a drone and in #Gorlovka, a woman was wounded.
