War Reports - 2024-04-29 (Unlocked)
Turbines at Ukrainian power plants were reportedly seriously damaged in the strikes this week. Ukraine's energy infrastructure is steadily collapsing.
There is a very high probability of general power outages and cessation of production and urban electricity supply in Ukraine in the near future.
All that remains is to destroy the last turbines of power plants and isolate the nuclear power plant and the power transmission line with Europe from the main lines.
The West expects that something might happen in the near future.

At the headquarters of the operational-strategic group of the VFU "Tavria" they came to the conclusion that the situation in the Ocheretino region had become critical.
Military expert Alexander Zimovsky: (https://t.me/zimovskyAL/30341)
The Ukrainian Armed Forces need to immediately prepare a retreat 10-15 km to the west, to the Novoaleksandrovka-Komyshevka-Karlovskoye Reservoir-Karlovka line.
In order to preserve/save the main forces and combat effectiveness of Tavria units and formations in anticipation of further battles, an urgent decision is necessary to abandon positions in Netaylovo, Karlovka, Novoselovka-Pervaya, Umansky and a number of other settlements.
After the surrender of Keramika and Novokalinovo, the Tavria troops between Ocheretino and Arkhangelsk do not have pre-prepared defensive positions.
Naturally, I myself do not expect the Ukrainian Armed Forces to take the right military decision. They will lose a couple or three more particularly stubborn Bandera brigades for political reasons. And then they will still run.

Military expert Alexander Zimovsky (https://t.me/zimovskyAL/30342):
The collapse of the Ukrainian energy industry turned out to be much closer than the Ukrainian authorities expected.
After today’s latest high-precision destruction of thermal generation facilities in the Dnepropetrovsk, Lvov and Ivano-Frankivsk regions of Ukraine, Zelensky was forced to come out with a special address “to the nation.”
By the way, the Burshtynska Thermal Power Plant, in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, was covered with sea-based Calibers.
Rumors about the final victory of Ukrainian naval drones over the Black Sea Fleet turned out to be somewhat exaggerated. And the skeptics were put to shame.

🟢 Sumy is preparing for evacuation!
On April 24, measures began in Sumy to evacuate the material assets of the Sumykhimprom plant to the territory of western Ukraine. The company’s employees were tasked with preparing everything that could be taken out for export as quickly as possible.
And at the same time, the head of the Sumy OVA Artyukh convinces everyone that there is no threat of a Russian offensive.
“The enemy is trying to intimidate our population so that they leave the borders, to create panic, so that there is unrest in the region.”
Vladimir Artyukh said during the telethon on April 25.
This is understandable. Who needs panic when the main task is to remove material assets without unnecessary noise.

Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 27 April 2024⚡️
🔹In the north of the #Gaza Strip, Israeli troops launched strikes on Gaza and satellite towns. Beit Lahia and Jabaliya were also under fire. Meanwhile, an American battleship arrives at the coast of the enclave, carrying about 1,000 US military personnel.
🔹In the south of the Enclave, Khan Yunis and Rafah, as well as Al-Mawasi, routinely came under attack from Israeli troops. In response, the Palestinians fired at IDF positions east of Khan Yunis. Also, amid preparations for the military operation in Rafah, the Israelis rotated their units.
🔹Along the border with #Lebanon, the sides continue to exchange mutual strikes. Hezbollah fighters fired at Israeli positions, and the IDF press service reported the liquidation of two members of the Lebanese branch of the Islamist organisation Muslim Brotherhood.
🔹In #Iraq, the “Islamic Resistance” announced an attack by one kamikaze drone on a certain vital target in the city of Haifa.
🔹In the Red Sea, Yemen's Houthis attacked the British oil tanker Andromeda Star with three missiles. The ship was damaged.

Ukrainian formations again carried out a massive drone attack on energy industry facilities and military infrastructure in the Krasnodar Territory .
▪️The first wave of a raid by over a dozen drones hit a military airfield on the outskirts of the village of Kushchevskaya in the Krasnodar Crane. According to preliminary data, there is destruction on the territory, the extent of which is now being established.
❗️Great attention should be paid to the leaked footage of Ministry of Emergency Situations employees clearing out the rubble of one of the buildings on the territory of the military base. As in the case of the attacks on Crimea , some pro-Ukrainian citizens or those who simply do not understand the seriousness of the situation help the enemy assess the damage.
▪️In addition, in the Slavyansky , Seversky and Kushchevsky districts of the Krasnodar Territory, Ukrainian formations tried to attack oil plants and infrastructure.
▪️As a result of an attack by more than ten UAVs on the territory of the plant in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, a rectification column was damaged. The resulting fire was quickly extinguished, and the refinery's operations were partially suspended.
▪️At the Ilyisk Refinery, the arrival of 17 unmanned vehicles was recorded, as a result, the primary oil processing unit was damaged, the fire lasted more than half an hour, but was also eliminated.
▪️According to some reports, the Afipsky Oil Refinery could have been another target of the raid; there was no official information on damage on the territory of the plant.
❗️In total, air defense forces intercepted 66 UAVs over the Krasnodar Territory , and two more over the Crimean Peninsula .
🔻In recent months, the enemy has concentrated on attacks on refineries and oil storage facilities. We noted earlier (https://t.me/rybar/58494) that the purpose of such attacks is not only to cause damage to enterprises as such, but also to try to provoke an increase in prices in the energy sector, which could ultimately lead to increased inflation and growing discontent among the population.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are conducting massive raid after raid, which indicates that there is no shortage of drones. Due to the absence of attacks on Ukrainian facilities where UAVs are assembled (for example, Antonov) , the Ukrainian Armed Forces have fully adjusted their production process. Moreover, the accuracy and performance of drones have increased.
Well, we must not forget about the activity of (https://t.me/rybar/59468) reconnaissance aircraft and drones of the United States and NATO, which, in anticipation of a massive attack, were monitoring the Krasnodar Territory. Both the French E-3F and the American RQ-4B were 190 km from Sochi , and clearly did not monitor vacationers on the Black Sea.
Missile strike on energy infrastructure facilities in the so-called Ukraine on April 27, 2024
By the evening, details of today's missile strike (https://t.me/rybar/59547) on four thermal power plants on the territory of the so-called Ukraine became clear.
At the Burshtyn TPP, the missile hit the turbine hall between the 7th and 8th turbogenerators, closer to the 7th one. It seems that the generator transformer of the 7th generator and possibly the 8th one also burned down. The plant is most likely shut down. At the same time, earthen protective embankments have been erected in the area of generator transformers No. 11 and No. 12, and the generator transformer on the 10th turbogenerator is missing - apparently, it has been moved somewhere.
As for the Dobrotvirska TPP, it continues to operate, although it has received damage. Due to two hits in the turbine hall, boilers No. 3, No. 4, No. 7 and No. 8 were damaged. At the same time, boilers and turbogenerators No. 1 and No. 2 were not affected, and the plant is operating on them. In the best case, 2 power units of 100 MW each were lost during the strikes, in the worst case - one. And in any case, the possibility of exporting electricity to Poland remains (which was planned by Ukrenergo today, despite the strikes).
There is no specific information about the damage caused to the Prydniprovska and Kryvorizka TPPs. For the latter, there are indirect evidence of damage to the facility, but there is no data confirming serious damage. Possibly, these plants continue to operate.
❗️Strikes on thermal power plants will complicate power maneuvering during peak load and frequency regulation. But one should not forget that the Ukrainian power system is currently being supported by assistance from Moldova and EU countries. Therefore, strikes on substations connecting the Ukrainian power system with the EU and Moldova are necessary.
Substations cannot be taken out of service once and for all, they will be restored (including by simplifying the schemes). However, systematic work on these targets will adversely affect the energy sector of the so-called Ukraine. Without such an impact, it will not be possible to create conditions for shutting down the main source of energy in the country - nuclear power plants.

Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 28 April 2024; pub. 10:07⚡️
🔵On the #Zaporozhye Front, the line of contact is unchanged. The struggle for positions with active support of long range defeat means continues. (Fig. 1)
🔵On the #Donetsk Front, the initiative remains fully with the RFAF.
🟡In #Krasnogorovka, fighting continues in the central part of the town on the territory of the Refractory Plant, where the AFU made attempts to counterattack. Without success.
🟡In the area of #Netaylovo and in #Umanskoye, no changes.
🟡In #Berdychi, Ukrainian troops were forced to retreat from their positions on the western outskirts of the settlement, and part of the Ukrainian garrison surrendered.
🟡Russian troops, as a result of successful assaults, have established control over the settlements of #Novokalinovo and #Keramik. Advancement continues towards the settlement of #Arkhangelskoye, on the outskirts of which fighting is currently taking place. (Fig. 2)
🔵In the #ChasovYar Direction, there are no special changes. Positional fighting continues on the eastern outskirts of #ChasovYar, with the RFAF long range weapons actively working. Also, Russian troops are trying to improve their positions on the flanks. (Fig. 3)
🔵On the #Lugansk Front, Russian troops knocked the AFU out of #Kislovka. Although this section of the front could not be called inactive, significant advances of our troops were not observed on it for a long time. Apparently, the RFAF have finally found a weak spot in the Ukrainian defence.

‘Formidable nightmare for enemy’: Meet Russian FPV drones with radio relay systems
Russian servicemen stationed in the special military operation zone have started to use first person view (FPV) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), fitted with unique radio communication relay systems, Andrei Ivanov, developer of the Ovod (Gadfly) kamikaze drone "Gadfly", told Sputnik.
Made in the Russian city of Tula, such a system allows a drone operator to work from both open and closed positions at an unlimited range and at any frequencies, according to Ivanov. He added that the system is compatible with any ground equipment.
On the whole, radio relay systems aim to help FPV drones fly over very rough terrain, when there is a high probability of losing direct vision between an UAV and an operator.
An array of Russian FPV drones equipped with such systems include:
▪️Ovod, a cutting-edge UAV designed to transport fragmentation and high-explosive fragmentation ammunition to extremely hazardous areas at the front line.
▪️Upyr (a prototype of vampire), an advanced drone, which can carry RPG-7 mortar rockets as well as anti-tank hand grenades.
▪️Dzhoker (Joker), specially designed to “wait” for at least a month so that it can be remotely activated when in an ambush.
▪️UAVs, manufactured in Siberia’s Tyumen region and equipped with a powerful battery that helps increase their flight by at least 10 km (6 miles).
▪️Kub (Cube), developed by Russian defense company Zala Aero, a subsidiary of the world famous Kalashnikov Group, is not an FPV drone but is also fitted with a radio relay system. Kub can deliver a variety of weapon payloads with high precision and may be used as a kamikaze drone or an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system. Newsweek referred to Kub as Russia’s “formidable nightmare for the enemy."

Crimea
At night, the enemy attacked air defense units at Cape Tarkhankut with ATACMS missiles, previously with a cluster warhead.
⭐️ Before, this type of weapon struck Crimea in the area of the airfield near the city of Dzhankoy (https://t.me/dva_majors/40230) in the north of the peninsula. Air defense installations were also targeted.
The enemy is trying to knock out entire air defense areas; intensified attacks are predicted against the backdrop of Kiev’s attempts to organize information and combat actions for Victory Day and the inauguration of the Supreme Commander.
This will not change the situation at the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front.

The Lithuanian Ambassador to Sweden, the former head of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry, hinted at an impending strike on the Crimean Bridge.
Linas Linkevičius published a collage with a photo of the bridge and the rocket launch, signing: “If someone did not have the opportunity to take a photo on the Kerch Bridge, there is still time.”
The first deputy permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, answered him: “Now they are barking madly, but they will whine pitifully later, when the day of judgment comes, and they will regret all such missteps.”
⭐️There, one character already promised “Judgment Day” for the missile strike on Crimea.
Tonight there was just such an attempt.

The Russian president signed a decree on the transfer of Russian "daughters" of Ariston and Bosch Hausgerate to the temporary management of Gazprom Household Systems JSC.
The European Union called on the Russian Federation to cancel the decision to transfer the Russian business of the German Bosch and Italian Ariston to the temporary management of a subsidiary of Gazprom.
A statement from the European External Action Service indicates that the measures taken by the Russian side violate international law.

Crimea. About the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ night attempts to hit our air defense area on Cape Tarkhankut with ATACMS
According to our data the city of Berislav, is called the area where enemy missiles were launched. Plus or minus two cubits on the map, we are only able to give the area, not more precisely. An important element is visual observation of the flight of about 15 at once. People saw it with their own eyes and quickly passed it on to where it should be, so we managed to minimize the consequences. The Russian Ministry of Defense in its report reported the destruction of 5 ATACMS, which missiles and where exactly they were destroyed is unknown, perhaps the data will be available later
Comrade Rybar provided data on the range of these missiles of various modifications. Old models used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces - up to 165 km. New ones, news about which Ukraine itself replicates - up to 300 km. That is, combat tests are underway at the maximum range in conditions of counteraction from our air defense
300 km. So much from the above-mentioned position area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the Crimean Bridge, about which the enemy media write so clearly and boldly Ukrainian resources have already described a possible scenario for the simultaneous use of UAVs (70 Ukrainian Armed Forces drones flew to the Krasnodar Territory the other day), ATACMS and MBEC missiles, incl. new improved modification
ATACMS launches from MLRS HIMARS: one launcher - one missile. Judging by the fact that ours saw the flight of all 15 missiles at once, that is exactly how many launchers the enemy used that night
How it is possible to hide so much equipment in the night remains a mystery. Intelligence has a lot to think about, just don’t start unsubscribing, let’s work brothers.
The enemy is trying to knock out our air defense.
The task is obvious - they cannot justify receiving a new package of assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front. They will try to arrange a resonant massive strike.

The enemy is trying to knock out our air defense; the same foreign reconnaissance aircraft continue to hover near Romania and over the neutral (outside the Russian State Border) waters of the Black Sea.
The task is obvious - they cannot justify receiving a new package of assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front. They will try to arrange a resonant massive strike.

Liberation of #Berdychi - Situation in the #Avdeyevka Direction until 21:00 on 27 April 2024⚡️
🗓 Russian Troops consolidate the success achieved after the liberation of #Ocheretino, #Semyonovka and the advance in #Novokalinovo.
🔹On the western outskirts of #Berdychi, servicemen of the RFAF's 74th Separate Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade hoisted the battle banner of the “Mad Dogs” unit on a destroyed building. Cleanup is underway in the liberated territory.
🔹After the loss of #Semyonovka, as well as the breakthrough into the #Ocheretino fortified area, the AFU were forced to retreat from this settlement due to the high risk of encirclement. According to reports from the field, a large number of the Ukrainian formations' members chose to surrender.
🔹#Novokalinovo, east of #Ocheretino, according to the latest information, also came under the control of Russian troops. At the moment, pockets of resistance from scattered enemy groups are being cleared out.
🔹In adjacent #Keramik, RFAF assault squads entrenched themselves on the eastern outskirts of the village, which is confirmed even by Ukrainian resources. In the settlement, there are oncoming battles. After the complete clearing of #Novokalinovo, the retreat of the AFU from #Keramik will become a matter of time due to the geographical location of the village in the lowland.
📌 Successful Russian actions over the past day will likely make it possible to soon level the front at the #Ocheretino - #Umanskoye line and continue the offensive westward to a new border. In total, in April of this year, Russian troops managed to liberate more than 60 square km of territory on this section of the front.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 27 April 2024⚡️
🔹Russian Troops attacked energy facilities and military targets in various areas of the so-called #Ukraine tonight. Four thermal power plants were damaged. Airfields in the #Dnepropetrovsk and #Nikolayev regions were also hit.
🔹Ukrainian Formations, in turn, again carried out a massive drone attack on facilities in the #Krasnodar Territory; Fires were recorded on the territory of two oil refineries, which were promptly extinguished by the relevant services.
🔹In the #Kupyansk - #Svatovo direction, the enemy is retreating from #Kislovka to nearby #Kotlyarovka. Ukrainian resources report the dire situation of the AFU in the area due to the lack of heavy weapons.
🔹In the #Avdeyevka direction, units of the RFAF liberated #Novokalinovo and secured a foothold on the eastern outskirts of the #Keramik village. In #Berdychi, the stormtroopers were also successful. The Russian tricolor was hoisted on a building in the western part of the village.
🔹On the #SouthAvdeyevka front, fierce fighting continues on the territory of the refractory plant in #Krasnogorovka. Ukrainian formations are unsuccessfully trying to regain lost positions.
🔹In the #Ugledar Direction, the enemy is building a new line of defence in the area of #Kurakhovo.

❗️ The night attack on Cape Tarkhankut
At night, Ukrainian formations carried out an attack on Cape Tarkhankut. As in the case of Dzhankoy, ATACMS operational-tactical missiles with cluster warheads were used.
🔘 The target was air defence units stationed in the area. According to preliminary reports, there were no casualties, but the attack itself took place again at night in poor visibility conditions.
🔘 It is unclear what modification was used. If launched from near Ochakov, the AFU could have used older versions with a maximum range of 165 kilometres. In a straight line, they would reach Crimea quite well.
🔘 At the same time, against the background of the official news about the transfer of modifications with a combat radius of up to 300 kilometres, Ukrainian formations could also carry out a launch from the Odessa region, for example from the Alibey range.
Last year, the AFU repeatedly but unsuccessfully attacked Crimea from this area with the Grom-2 operational-tactical complex. Due to the lack of results, it was decided not to use it on the Crimea.
📍The enemy's tactics are explained by the intention to reduce the capabilities of the air defence units covering the peninsula. Before the planned attack on the Crimean bridge, the AFU wants to gain an advantage in missile and unmanned weapons, and the air defence forces are the main obstacle.

Baltic Fleet's Bal coastal defense system crew carry out missile firing at sea target
As part of the planned exercise, the Baltic Fleet's coastal missile battalion conducted successful combat firing from Bal coastal missile system against a maritime target located in the waters of the Baltic Sea.
According to the scenario, Bal coastal missile systems of the missile battalion, which performed tasks of special purpose in one of the position areas in Kaliningrad region, detected a ship of a mock enemy and took the target on an escort. The role of the mock enemy ship involved a target ship shield.
After receiving a signal to use missile weapons, the Bal coastal missile system fired at a sea target. Objective control means confirmed the target engagement.
