War Reports - 2024-02-13
Let's not forget that Turkey is a NATO country. And I do not know how Turkey differs from other NATO countries if it supplies weapons to Ukraine, builds a factory for the production of Bayraktar drones in Ukraine, and ensures the operation of the "grain corridor" through which weapons enter Ukraine. In addition, Turkey is pursuing a fairly transparent policy to restore the "Great Turan" in Central Asia. If Russia has such friends, then what can we expect from Russia's enemies?
"The US Congress has decided to approve a deal with Turkey for the sale of 40 new and upgraded F-16 fighter jets in service, the American Embassy in Ankara reported on its page on the social network X.
"The Congressional decision this week to approve Turkey's purchase of 40 new and 79 upgraded F-16 aircraft is a big step forward. The Turkish F-16 fleet is crucial for NATO forces in terms of ensuring future interoperability between the allies," the embassy quotes the statement of the head of the diplomatic mission Jeffrey Flake."

▪️ Tula paratroopers planted the Russian flag in the center of the recently liberated village of #Veseloye, at the memorial to those killed in the Great Patriotic War, dedicating this victory to their grandfathers and great-grandfathers who fought in that war;
▪️ Several infrastructure facilities were damaged in the #Nikolayev region after explosions, Ukrainian authorities said. Earlier, explosions were also reported in #Dnepropetrovsk;
▪️ Former first deputy defence minister of #Ukraine Pavlyuk was appointed commander of the ground forces instead of Syrsky, who became commander in chief. Kiev also replaced the commanders of the air assault troops and the AFU joint forces;
▪️ Peskov, when asked about the possibility of new peace negotiations with #Ukraine, replied that now the reality is completely different, the Kiev Regime will have to recognise it. Ukraine could have reached peace agreements at a lower cost in March 2022, but at the request of the Anglo-Saxons it abandoned the achieved results, the presidential press secretary said;
▪️ Peskov noted that achieving goals for #Russia is preferable through peaceful means, but if it is rejected by the other side, the SMO continues;
▪️ The #EU will not be able to allocate financial resources to #Ukraine that would allow it to achieve a military victory in the conflict with #Russia, the Hungarian PM is convinced;
▪️ Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of #Ukraine Danilov said that the situation on the frontline is "very difficult". According to him, it will become even more difficult if the West does not significantly increase the supply of weapons and ammunition;
▪️ As reported by the RF MoD, Ukrainian troops lost 855 militants in all directions over the day, Russian units destroyed 3 armored vehicles and 4 field artillery guns;

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/5999) Battle for Chasov Yar - Situation until the End of 11 February 2024⚡️
🔹West of Bakhmut, Russian troops continue to advance in the direction of Chasov Yar. The enemy was driven back a km on the O0506 motorway leading to the town from #Khromovo.
▪️ The fighting is taking place near the Valyanovka Bus Stop, where UAV operators with a drop system managed to intercept enemy infantry.
🔹The landings to the north also came under the control of the RF Armed Forces, which allowed to increase pressure on the enemy, which is still in #Bogdanovka.
📍Coordinates: 48.612294592511454, 37.90591995483098
▪️ In addition, the RF Armed Forces managed to take the Popovsky Forest. The enemy retreated from there after 👉 losing (https://t.me/sitreports/22668) the dominant height 187 south of #Bogdanovka. This allows access to landings through which you can relatively covertly get to the Canal Microdistrict, located east of the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.
▪️ In #Bogdanovka itself, it was also possible to retake previously lost positions on the eastern outskirts of the village. The enemy was thrown back to the centre.
📌 The situation at the site is difficult for the Ukrainian formations, but so far still under control. The attack on Chasov Yar will be in lowlands, which does not promise rapid progress.

30 thousand electric vehicles stopped working together with all the electric filling stations in Lithuania, due to Russian hackers from the Just Evil group (ex-KillNet).
Russian cyber specialists gained access to the entire management system of the state-owned company Ignitis Grupė, which is engaged in the production of electricity, its distribution and provision of services throughout the Baltic states as well as in Finland and Poland.
They have promised to publish data on all clients, among them, for example, Ikea, which left the Russian Federation and Ivel’s access keys, and then block access to charging stations forever.

“Fresh forces entered the battle for Avdeevka. Ukrainian soldiers steadfastly hold the defense - Tarnavsky
And at the same time, there was only one supply road left to the city, and two supply roads to Koksokhim. How can these people then evacuate if necessary?!
If events develop unfavorably for us, the enemy will definitely take the roads under fire control. And then why should we rejoice?!”

Front #Summary for 12 Feb 2024 by 18:45⚡️
🔹In #Kherson Direction, positional fighting in #Krynki. The AFU managed to replenish the group, and those occupied several new houses to the west of the main springboard. Our army is sealing their positions with Grad. On the left bank, ours hit another AFU drone crews.
🔹In #Zaparozhye Direction, our forces moving to cover #Rabotino, improving the tactical position west and southwest of the village, as well as west of #Verbovoye. The artillery thundered all night, and in the morning our military again assaulted the AFU positions, and advanced a bit west of #Rabotino.
🔹In #Donetsk Direction, our military has about 200 m left to the APU supply route. A breakthrough is expected either at the Brevno Restaurant, which the AFU is diligently defending, or at the intersection of Industrial Avenue with Timiryazev Street, which is just west of the Carpool Depot. Our army made another breakthrough in the southern coverage. Here, our troops broke through from "Tsarskaya Okhota" for the railway tracks and partially took control of the Vinogradniki-2 village. This significantly worsens the AFU situation in the Zenit fortified area.
📌There are many reports that Syrsky, wishing to quench Zelensky's desire to hold #Avdeevka, transferred from the southern front one of the best, the 3rd Assault Brigade. They are still standing near #Avdeevka, but will surely be brought into the battle. The backbone of the brigade is the "Azovs", motivated and better staffed than the bulk of the stormtroopers. The ones who were beaten by Wagner and then by our Airborne Troops in #Bakhmut, which defence was also led by Syrsky. In addition to the Azovites, militants from several national battalions have arrived in the city, to fight to the last. Moreover, the #Donetsk people from the former #DPR PM, are fighting on our side, and they have their own scores to settle with Azov. However, ours say from the ground that the AFU are learning from their mistakes. Now they are setting up firing positions on the upper floors of high rise buildings, creating warehouses, field hospitals and even ambushes in basements. It seems that it is in urban areas the fiercest battles will unfold. The enemy can leave the Coke Plant as soon as ours get close to blocking the plant.
🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, our forces are entrenched in the forest area west of #Khromovo, preparing to move on. Powerful work of Solntsepeks on the AFU positions in the forests closer to Chasov Yar is noted. East of #Kleshcheevka, our advance was about 300m along the railway line.
🔹In #Svatovo Direction, at the #Seversk front, our forces are trying to approach the #Belogorovka village, the most active movement is to the south, from the side of the chalk quarry. West of the Belogorovka Filtration Station, the AFU are annoying our troops by dropping ammo from copters. There is less than 500m left to #Belogorovka. In the #Liman sector, after a forced retreat from positions along Yar Laptev, to the north ours also retreated from the outskirts of the Yar Nizhny. In the #Kupyansk sector, on the western outskirts of #Sinkovka, ours have cleared another stronghold, hard work is underway. At #Kislovka in the direction of #Petropavlovka, with heavy fighting, ours advanced about another 500m.
🎯 Our Aerospace Forces, during the night, hit a large railway junction in #Kharkov region, a military unit in #Nikolayev, where a large amount of military equipment was being transferred. There were two explosions in Pavlograd. According to locals, the missiles hit trains of AFU military equipment and reserves travelling along the railway line to reinforce the #Avdeyevka garrison.

That's all. (https://t.me/rezervsvo/46822) Russian troops probably cut the railway in the northwestern part of Avdiivka. This conclusion was drawn from the data of the Ukrainian military maps by the military analyst of the Bild newspaper Julian Repke.
In his opinion, if this information is visually confirmed, then "the protection of the southern part of Avdiivka will soon become impossible for Ukrainian troops."
About 40% of Avdiivka is already under Russian control, writes Repke.

Chronicle of a special military operation (https://t.me/dva_majors/34433?single) from the Russian telegram channel Rybar for February 11, 2024
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are advancing in the Bakhmut direction at the Bogdanovka — Khromovo line in the direction of the Yara Clock. Several large enemy strongholds in the landings came under the control of Russian forces.
In the private sector of Avdiivka, a fairly large advance of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is recorded. However, Ukrainian formations still hold the industrial zone on Industrialny Prospekt.
To the south of Marinka, assault detachments managed to dislodge the enemy from several strong points along the road to Victory. Landings almost to the eastern outskirts of the village came under the control of Russian forces.
Russian troops launched a drone strike on the enemy's rear facilities at the so-called Ukraine. Industrial facilities in Nikolaev, warehouses in the Odessa region and Kiev came under fire.
The Armed forces of Ukraine plan to use one of the best brigades to hold the front line in Avdiivka (https://t.me/bbbreaking/175235), Forbes magazine reported.
According to his estimates, this step by the military command of Ukraine was not obvious, because "by deciding to stay and fight, the Ukrainian troops are taking a huge risk." Forbes believes that the replacement of Valery Zaluzhny with Alexander Syrsky as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could signal the intention of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to fight for Avdiivka "even at a high price."
Russia will not stand for the price either. Therefore, you can add one million dead for each subsequent year of the war. Civil war. This is the most terrible war that is possible.
Both Russia and Ukraine have victories. We achieve our victories on the battlefield. AFU film their victories in controlled environment.

HMS Prince of Wales fails to depart for Nato exercises
The BBC notes: HMS Prince of Wales was due to replace HMS Queen Elizabeth in Exercise Steadfast Defender - the largest Nato exercise since the Cold War. However, the £3bn warship has remained in Portsmouth and the harbour mouth has been reopened to normal marine traffic.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the departure had been "postponed".
Last Sunday, HMS Queen Elizabeth cancelled its deployment to the exercise off Norway at the last minute, after an "issue" was found with a coupling on the starboard propeller shaft. In 2022, HMS Prince of Wales broke down off the Isle of Wight, when it also suffered a malfunction with a coupling on its starboard propeller. The MoD previously said the issues were "separate and not linked". HMS Prince of Wales was taken to Rosyth, Fife, to undergo repairs, which took nine months to complete.
Leading many speculators to think that neither boats work. Some analysts speculate they could be towed to London and converted into HMS Red Lobster and HMS Long John Silvers.

The enemy complains about constant arrivals, but has no intention of leaving. Well, the others also had no intention of leaving Azovstal...

🔞 Mass destruction of enemy infantry by our UAV operators in the Zaporozhye direction. Video 🔞
@Slavyangrad
In addition to the 152-mm Krasnopol projectile and the Kh-38ML cruise missile, kamikaze drones of an unknown type began to fly in following the laser beam from the Orlan-30 UAV. It could be the Cube, or a new version of the Lancet.
The video shows the destruction of a Ukrainian Armed Forces firing point located at a low altitude.
In second video the crew of the Orlan-30 UAV uses a laser beam to direct a kamikaze drone to a target, in this case an enemy tank. Kupyansk direction.

The commander of the Tavrika AFU Tornavsky, by decision of the commander-in-chief Syrsky (https://t.me/condottieros/2351), removed the 3rd assault brigade of the AFU from the southern front and transferred it to Avdiivka.
It is considered the best "Azov" brigade in the army of Ukraine.
These are the same mom's "lions" from which Wagner made canned food several times in Bakhmut. The first time was in March and July 2022, the second time our airborne forces in December 2023, after which a little more than the remaining 20% of the 3 airborne forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were sent to the rear for replenishment. Then they were collected in January in Zaporozhye and now Avdiivka.
Their commander Kukharchuk, after the last defeat of the brigade, said: I do not believe that we will win. I do not believe that we are at war with degenerates. We are all heirs of the Soviet Army. But the Russian one is bigger today.
On the territory of Koksokhim in Avdiivka, as a result of an accurate hit of the FAB 1500, the ruined command post of the MTR of Ukraine was destroyed. According to confirmed data, a dozen officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the MTR were killed, more than 20 - 300.
The strike was carried out by the Russian Aerospace Forces with several high-explosive bombs with planning and correction modules on the evening of February 11, 2024.

The RAND Corporation (https://t.me/EvPanina/12756) sees no way to end this war without the war starting again. So what is the end of the war then? But Elena Panina, director of the Institute of International Strategic Studies, confirms what I tell you all the time - the only option for ending the war that will lead to peace is an unconditional victory for Russia. I think that Elena Panina understands the same thing as me by such a victory - this is the liquidation of Nazi Ukraine and the return of territories to Russia. There is no need to rush, we need to completely complete what we started.
The RAND Corporation gave four scenarios for the post-war future.
The American Thought Factory presented the report “The Next Day: Post-War US Strategy towards Russia.” Postulating the need to think now about what awaits the world after the war in Ukraine, RAND considered four scenarios for the next decade.
The figure was obtained by multiplying two options for the outcome of the current conflict: “less favorable” for the West and “more favorable” - and two options for the subsequent US strategy: “tougher” and “less tough.”
▪️ Let us note that the RAND Corporation does not even mention the “unfavorable” outcome of the war in Ukraine for the United States and Kyiv. However, there is also no talk of a complete defeat of Russia. According to these eggheads, the war will end only with modest territorial gains for one side or another.
One way or another, none of the four scenarios suggests any “bright future” for the United States and the West. Each carries the risk of a new war with Russia in a few years, including one involving NATO. Only the last option—“a less tough US strategy after a more favorable outcome of the war”—looks relatively tolerable for the West. This is what RAND is leaning towards.
▪️ At the same time, some of the conclusions that the corporation’s analysts came to look sensational:
— A longer and more violent war [in Ukraine] would lead to adverse consequences for US interests and its economy;
— The United States cannot independently determine the outcome of this war: everything will be decided by the warring parties (read, everything will be decided on the battlefield);
— Increased military pressure on Russia in Europe after the war may entail more risks than benefits.
It is gratifying that at least someone in the United States has found the strength to reflect on the consequences of Washington’s long-term policy in eastern Europe. At the same time, this attempt at a sober analysis from the RAND Corporation once again proves: in order to eliminate the risk of a new, even bloodier war in the future, the current conflict must be ended with an unconditional victory for Russia.
Let's call this the fifth scenario.
