The Russian Armed Forces successfully storm Novogrodovka and Toretsk, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue fruitless attacks in the Kursk region - all about this in the final report of Readovka
Fierce fighting continues in several areas of the Kursk Region. The Ukrainian Armed Forces still hope to break through to Korenevo. After the failure of frontal attacks, the enemy decided to outflank the village in the Sheptukhovka area, but did not achieve their goal. The enemy again unsuccessfully attempted to approach Martynovka. The Ukrainian Armed Forces failed to break through Russkaya Konopelka and Pushkarnoye. At this time, the Russian Armed Forces successfully attacked the villages of Ulanok and Spalnoye, taking advantage of the enemy's distraction to the north of the breakthrough zone.
While the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to advance in the Kursk region, the Russian Armed Forces are rapidly liberating Donbass. Our soldiers began an assault on Toretsk from two sides at once. Russian troops approached the city from the south, following the enemy retreating from New York. The Russian Armed Forces also began an attack from the Severnaya mine waste heap, advancing along Central Street. In the Pokrovsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces successfully assault Novogrodovka and occupied the eastern part of Grodovka, from which there is a direct road to Mirnograd and Pokrovsk. Read more about the events in the combat zone in the final report Readovka.
Fwd from @dva_majors
Overview Summary for August 25, 2024
▪️ The third week of repelling the armed invasion of the AFU into the territory of the Kursk Region of the Russian Federation is coming to an end. The enemy is pinned down in battles and suffering significant losses in manpower and equipment, but is trying to advance, although the previous breakthroughs of its reconnaissance patrols have been localized. Heavy high-intensity battles are taking place simultaneously in several settlements of the region, the Russian Armed Forces have brought in reserves, including the 11th Air Assault Brigade. After destroying the bridges in the Glushkovo District, the AFU strike our river crossings with HIMARS MLRS, limiting the ability to evacuate the civilian population and complicating military logistics. The heads of Lgov and Korenevo District have recommended that residents not return until the situation stabilizes, and the shelling of Lgov confirms the expediency of this.
▪️ The enemy retains offensive potential in other directions as well. There are reports of the enemy's plans to attack the Bryansk Region, the concentration of the AFU in the Kamianka direction of the Zaporizhia front, and the preparation of an amphibious operation on the spits in the Kherson Region. Apparently, the Russian Armed Forces manage to disrupt the AFU's plans by delivering missile strikes on the concentration of enemy forces. Nevertheless, the enemy's strike on the ferry in the port of "Kavkaz" cannot be called harmless either.
▪️ The targets of enemy UAV strikes are military airfields and oil depots. At the same time, the AFU are testing new jet-powered UAVs. Our military pilots' channels express surprise at the insufficiency of the measures taken to protect airfields, namely the small number of mobile air defense groups that, like the enemy, could neutralize the threats from enemy drones even in flight to the infrastructure of aviation units.
▪️ The Russian Army is achieving significant success in the Pokrovsk direction, expanding the huge salient near Pokrovsk, which is about 10 km away. The enemy is fiercely resisting, but is unable to stabilize the front and loses several settlements at a time.
▪️ In the Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk) agglomeration, the Russian Armed Forces are penetrating deeper into the enemy's defenses, with the liberation of New York (Novhorodske) being symbolic. The fortified area as a whole was built by the enemy since 2014, and the advancement in this direction is hampered by defensive structures and the terrain. In response to the successes of our troops, the AFU strike the civilian population of Donetsk and Horlivka.
✨ Thus, the enemy in its actions is guided more by political than military expediency. The invasion of the Kursk Region, terrorist shelling of the civilian population, and the planned attacks of the enemy pursue the goals of demonstrating to the West the readiness of the AFU to sacrifice personnel in order to receive military-technical assistance from NATO, seizing strategically important energy facilities and controlling trade routes (the spits in the Kherson Region are needed for navigation from the ports of Mykolaiv), destabilizing the domestic political situation in Russia. At the same time, in the Kursk direction, the AFU continue to use the effect of our own negligence, which is being urgently corrected manually from the highest level.
Summary compiled by: Two Majors
🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷❤On the beneficiaries of the arrest of Pavel Durov
It has been less than two months since the day when Donald Trump almost ended up behind bars, and the Western left has a new victim - the head of Telegram, Pavel Durov.
Telegram has long been a thorn in the side of the American and European governments and intelligence agencies - in the USA and the European Union, the platform has taken on the outlines of an emerging bastion of "freedom of speech" in the face of the most severe and total control by X (the former Twitter), Meta recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation, and Google.
In the United States, the right-wing movement, which was cleaned up after the events of January 6, 2021 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_United_States_Capitol_attack), has almost completely moved to Telegram and has been broadcasting to an audience of thousands from there. Coordination between activists continued, and the truth about the elections of 2020 falsified by the Joe Biden team spread among the people - the Democrats could not allow this.
📌The operation to "tame" Telegram, apparently, was pre-agreed and planned, since a few days before Durov's arrest, large American conservative channels faced bans in mobile apps and blocking of personal accounts of the owners.
Due to the most likely temporary problem with the lack of messenger keys, the following scheme was used: "troll farms" were massively hired (mostly consisting of volunteers from various left-liberal organizations that flooded Twitter), through which reports were thrown at one or another channel/account.
There are also big questions about what the moderators who satisfied such suspicious and massive complaints were guided by.
It is noteworthy that this was happening not only in the USA: inconvenient channels are being eliminated in the same way in Great Britain.
🔻Ultimately, the situation with Durov only confirms the fact that no matter how influential a person may be, it is impossible to remain a third party in the big game. Despite all the financial power, neither Elon Musk nor Mark Zuckerberg were able to escape "cooperation" with the US government. Even the billionaire who challenged the "swamp", the 45th US President Donald Trump, was seriously affected.
The two chairs noticed (https://t.me/usaperiodical/9883) during Durov's interview with Tucker Carlson perfectly embodied the essence and rules of survival in big politics. Where Pavel, realizing this, made a mistake - it is still unclear. It is only known that third parties usually end up the way Julian Assange did in his time.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Temporary Lull
What is known as of 1:00 PM on August 25, 2024
The situation in the Kursk Region remains difficult but under control. The intensity of combat operations has gradually decreased compared to previous days, transitioning to a positional phase.
🔻In the Korenevo District, clashes continue on the approaches to Kremyanoye, in Krasnooktyabr'skoye, and in the area of Snahost'. No advances by the enemy in this sector have been recorded.
🔻In the Sudzha District, Russian forces are holding positions in Malaya Loknya, where the AFU periodically attempt attacks towards the women's colony, each time meeting a worthy rebuff.
No changes in the combat situation overnight have been recorded in Cherkasskoye Porechnoye, as well as in the areas of Russkaya Konopel'ka and Cherkasska Konopel'ka.
🔻Russian forces have destroyed another enemy air defense system in the border area of Sumy Region. This time, a Buk-M1 (https://t.me/lost_armour/3273) system hidden in a building in the settlement of Gritsenkovo was hit.

🇷🇴🇺🇸 In addition to the post from Dva Mayorov (https://t.me/dva_majors/50313) about the deployment of the LTR-25 radar station in the Romanian Cataloi, we would like to note that the radar has already begun operating in the Black Sea region.
The radar's capabilities will allow the Alliance to cover a wide range of tasks, both in detecting surface and air targets. And it's not difficult to guess who this will be aimed at.
And these are by no means pacifist tasks. With the arrival of F-16 fighters, this radar will significantly simplify the work of Ukrainian formations in targeting such important areas as Crimea and Kherson Region.
An interesting situation is emerging. There are more and more military assets near the Russian shores. This station is just the tip of the iceberg. There are also dozens of drones and aircraft, not to mention satellites.
@rybar
🇦🇺🇨🇳🇺🇸🇹🇭 On tensions in the Indo-Pacific region
In the Indo-Pacific region, it's business as usual: the Chinese and the Americans with their allies are flexing their muscles. This has become so commonplace that it no longer surprises. And the past few days have been no exception.
🔻Recently, a pair of U.S. B-2A bombers, whose flight we discussed (https://t.me/rybar/62928) a few days ago, flew to the Bay of Bengal via the Diego Garcia air base in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean.
Nothing extraordinary happened. Such bomber deployments are a standard procedure for the U.S. to demonstrate its strength and power, and do not pursue any other goals.
❗️However, the flight path remarkably (not surprisingly) coincided with the ongoing Falcon Strike exercise between Chinese and Thai troops in Thailand. Given that Thailand is also in the zone of confrontation between the two powers, the provocative B-2A flight may be closely linked to this.
The Chinese are participating with Jian-10 fighters and Jian-Hong-7A fighter-bombers, while the Thais are using AlphaJet attack aircraft. The main purpose is joint air operations in the event of a crisis situation in the region.
▪️Additionally, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the multinational exercise Tarang Shakti is currently underway. Remember, this is the event in which the French, Germans, and Spaniards are participating (https://t.me/rybar/61059) as part of their global air force flight.
Officially, there was no mention of American participation, but why not support their NATO allies and also show their "good" intentions to China (which is in a tense relationship with India)?

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Battles in the Olhovka area and strikes on Ukrainian armor
What is known as of 6:00 PM on August 25, 2024
In Kursk Region, the Russian forces continue to contain the enemy's onslaught, inflicting significant losses on Ukrainian formations along the entire line of contact.
🔻In Korenevo District, the Russian Armed Forces have restored control over Olhovka, which had been the site of fierce battles (https://t.me/rybar/62948) several days ago. Apparently, after suffering heavy losses in equipment and manpower in the village and the surrounding area, the AFU were forced to withdraw.
Approaching Korenevo and Zeleny Shlyakh, two BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed (https://t.me/vedler_army/12452) by FPV drones. The AFU continue their attempts to advance directly into Korenevo itself, but all their attacks are successfully repelled.
🔻In Sudzha District, fighting continues in the area of Malaya Loknya. All attempts by the enemy to enter and consolidate in the village have been thwarted, and it remains under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. In the area of Martynivka and Russkoye Porechnoye, there are ongoing clashes.
The sector is seeing an increase in the intensity of artillery strikes on Russian positions, which is associated with the redeployment (https://t.me/iamsniper/6722) of additional guns by Ukrainian formations from other parts of the front.
🔻The Russian forces continue systematic work to destroy air defense systems and radar stations in Sumy Region. UAV operators struck (https://t.me/The_Wrong_Side/17800) an ST-68 radar of the AFU near Shevchenkovo in Sumy Region using a Lancet kamikaze drone. In the morning, a Buk-M1 air defense system was hit in Gritsenkovo (https://t.me/rybar/63040).

🖼️ Rybar>🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pokrovsk direction: advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of Novohrodivka and Kalinovo
situation as of 7:00 pm on August 25, 2024
Russian troops are pushing through the AFU defense in Novohrodivka, seeking to encircle the city. Ukrainian formations are gradually retreating.
▪️The advance units of the Russian Armed Forces have reached Krutyi Yar - Krasnyi Yar, consolidating on the southeastern outskirts. Russian troops are using artillery and UAVs to suppress AFU firing points.
❗️Capturing Krutyi and Krasnyi Yars will allow the Russian Armed Forces to assault the AFU positions on the slag heap of Novohrodivska mine No. 3, a key point for the northern flank of the semi-encirclement of Novohrodivka.
▪️In Novohrodivka, Russian assault groups are rapidly overcoming the enemy's defensive lines, controlling Michurina and Turgenev streets, and fighting for Molodizhnaya street.
▪️To the south, Russian troops are fighting on the approaches to the Kotlyarevska mine and have advanced to the Mykhailivka railway station, cutting the M-30 highway.
▪️On the line Karlivka - Memryk, Russian troops have expanded the control zone, advancing from Ptychye towards Kalinovo and north along the Karlivka reservoir.
❗️Russian troops are actively attacking the flanks of the AFU defensive lines in the area of Kalinovo, seeking to bypass and isolate the enemy strongholds.
🇨🇳🇺🇸🇹🇼 The Americans have recently been marked by another (https://t.me/rybar/63043) provocative maneuver against China.
The U.S. Navy destroyer "Ralph Johnson" conducted a transit through the Taiwan Strait. To understand why the Chinese express their displeasure each time, one needs to recall the status of Taiwan.
🔻The Chinese consider it theirs and want to reclaim it. The Americans obviously support independence, so for them the Taiwan Strait is international waters, through which they allegedly have the right to move.
Such actions by the U.S. Navy occur with enviable regularity, on average twice a year. And each time it follows the same scenario: the destroyer sails through the strait, and the PLA's reaction is monitored by an RC-135.
This time, the Chinese side sent J-16 fighters to defend the airspace, and an KJ-500 early warning aircraft to track the ship and reconnaissance plane.
Although this raises the tension between the countries, it is all routine. So when you see "breaking news" that the Americans are provoking China, you can safely ignore it.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone
Chronicle of events for August 24-25, 2024
In the Gaza Strip, fighting continues in the central and southern parts, while the IAF carried out several airstrikes in the north of the enclave.
The situation on the West Bank has also not undergone significant changes, with Israeli security forces conducting police operations and Palestinians carrying out another terrorist attack.
On the border with Lebanon, the most massive exchange of strikes since the beginning of the escalation took place, but by the end of the day, there were almost no reports of casualties and injured.
Pro-Iranian formations again launched a drone towards Haifa from Iraq, but, as before, apparently nothing reached the port city.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the special military operation
for August 24-25, 2024
The Russian forces struck the Snake Island and oil rigs in the Black Sea with guided air missiles. In addition, targets of the enemy were hit in the temporarily occupied Sloviansk and Kramatorsk: in the latter, a strike was delivered on the AFU temporary deployment point in a hotel, where foreign journalists were also stationed.
Ukrainian formations delivered a combined strike on the Voronezh Region, damaging an ammunition depot in the Ostrogozhsk District. In Sevastopol, the debris of an unexploded drone washed up to one of the piers.
In the North Ukrainian Direction, the Russian forces recaptured previously lost positions in the area of Kreminna and Olhovka in the Korenevo District. The AFU conducted an attack towards Cherkaska Konopelka in the Sudzha District.
In the Oleksandrivka-Kalinovo Direction, the Russian forces are consolidating on the approaches to Microdistrict No. 1 in Dzerzhynsk and completing the encirclement of the remaining AFU garrison in Kirovo.
In the Pokrovsk Direction, the Russian Armed Forces are breaking through the enemy's defenses, advancing simultaneously westward within the boundaries of Novogrodovka and southward through Kalinovo towards the M-30 highway.
In the South Donetsk Direction, the Russian forces have consolidated on the southern outskirts of Kostiantynivka on the territory of a local agricultural complex. Further south, a major stronghold at the intersection of the T-05-24 highway and the road to Vodyane came under control.
