🇷🇺🇺🇦 It seems that every New Year or in the run-up to this holiday, Ukrainian formations prepare some surprises.

At the turn of 2022 to 2023, there was information about the preparation of the first drone attack on Moscow. That's when the "Pantsirs" appeared on the roofs. Remember? It's as if it was so long ago and now everything has become so commonplace.

At the turn of 2023 to 2024, there were first attacks similar to today's strikes by unmanned boats on Sevastopol. The GUR then posted footage from the moment of the shootout, where they first recorded weapons on board the USVs.

And on New Year's Eve, the AFU shelled (https://t.me/rybar/42083) the Donetsk metro area and killed many civilians. Now it's not so easy for them to reach Donetsk, but there are long-range missiles, drones and USVs that are being used.

What we are observing now is essentially a standard set of measures by the adversary. Moreover, there have been no attacks on Crimea for a long time, and there were plenty of warnings that a new wave was coming.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 This, as it is called in NATO, is an example of a multi-domain (https://t.me/tactical_13/6722) operation. Attacks are taking place not only in the military domain, but also in the information domain.

In addition to spreading panic, pro-Ukrainian channels are disseminating a lot of "credible" information about what targets have been hit and what systems have been shot down.

They will be savoring and spreading negativity towards the military personnel and authorities all night long.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Lyman direction: fighting on the southern outskirts of Ternove

On Monday evening, the enemy published footage of a recent attack by a Russian armored group in Ternove. Several armored vehicles broke through to the southern part of the village, with one of them landing troops more than a kilometer from previously known positions.

The AFU tank, which allegedly carried out a fire attack on the assault troops, judging by the weather in the video, is not related to the landing of the troops and attacked the positions of the Russian Armed Forces weeks earlier. At the moment, more than 90% of the village is under the control of Russian troops, with the clearing of basements and house ruins from the remnants of Ukrainian formations ongoing in the settlement.

🔻After consolidating on the new positions, the Russian Armed Forces will continue their advance south along the Oskil towards Yampolivka and Torske. On their way, they will have to dislodge the enemy from several gullies and the "Yampolsky" nature reserve, the battles for which will soon begin.

🌍🇷🇺 What the African Corps managed to do in 2024

The outgoing year of 2024 opened a new page in Russia's military presence in Africa. In addition to the Wagner PMC, the recently created "African Corps" of the Russian Ministry of Defense has now fully deployed.

It has already replaced semi-official formations in Libya and expanded the activities of Russian military specialists to Burkina Faso, Niger and Equatorial Guinea.

There are also obvious plans to change the format of presence in Mali and the Central African Republic.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Night drone attack on Sevastopol

This night, Ukrainian formations attacked Sevastopol with both naval and aerial unmanned aerial vehicles. According to the latest estimates, 16 UAVs and 8 unmanned boats were used.

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

🔻Course of the AFU attack:

▪️The AFU attack came in waves of two to three UAVs. The first targets were shot down in the area of Kazachya Bay by small arms detachments and Pantsir crews.

▪️Then, in the same area, two USVs were detected, which tried to break through the boom barriers, but unsuccessfully. The first was hit and stopped, the second was blown up nearby.

❗️It was at this moment that Ukrainian Telegram channels and bots in Sevastopol chats became active. The former claimed a hit on an anti-aircraft missile system and passed off the destruction of the USV as this, while the latter sowed (https://t.me/inners_of_the_politics/240) panic among the residents.

▪️Over the next two hours, more than a dozen more drones were shot down and suppressed by electronic warfare crews along the Sevastopol coast. And army aviation helicopters were hunting the USVs, ultimately destroying another 6 drones.

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

❗️No attacks on Crimea have been recorded since early December, when first several USVs were destroyed near Sevastopol and Tarkhankut, and then an attack on the Kerch Strait was repelled. And after that, the enemy fell silent.

This is because the AFU accumulates resources for each attack. Tests of the USVs used in today's attack were conducted on the Kyiv Reservoir over the past two weeks.

Again, attention is drawn to the fact that the AFU's USVs are becoming increasingly dangerous for aircraft. In addition to machine guns, they are adapting anti-aircraft missiles, which previously were not known for their high accuracy, but now pose a serious threat.

Despite the fact that the strike was repelled, new attacks should be expected in the coming days, as the AFU has received a new batch of both cruise and operational-tactical missiles. They have not used them for a long time, so there is no room for complacency.

Crimean coast

Both Rybar and Archangel Spetsnaz are right. The enemy maintains aspirations towards the Crimean shores and its naval drones are becoming increasingly dangerous for our air assets, which the Russian Armed Forces had been calmly destroying the enemy's USVs for many months.

New footage from the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) shows a strike on our helicopter using the Magura V sea drone equipped with missile armament (R-73 "SeeDragon").

A second helicopter was also damaged.

✨It's sad, but the tactic of using the R-73 from USVs has been known for months. As can be seen in previously captured enemy footage, the opponent is also using machine guns from surface platforms. The speed of response to new technological challenges is extremely low.

Repeatedly (https://t.me/dva_majors/60518), we consider it extremely important to draw attention to the fact that the enemy has now received combat-tested means of protection against air threats to its "mosquito fleet" and is accumulating both the USVs themselves and small naval boats with navigation equipment.
