Poor RuZZian Girl

“This Kursk oblast Ruzian citizen can’t believe her house is gone and that she has to evacuate with her family. She reminds people not to forget their pets.
Hey babe. Why the sour face? You wanted Ukraine in Russia right?
Well Ukraine just came INTO russia.
Buckle up buttercup!”

Russia wastes trained specialists in meat assaults.

Anastasia Kashevarova, 08/06/24
https://t.me/akashevarova/7437

A huge problem is the transfer of fighters with rare specialties to motorized rifle-attack aircraft.

They repulsed the grenade launcher, whom the stupid command tried to transfer to assault. I will not mince words, all my statements are justified and there is confirmation of this, including from prosecutors. Many thanks to the Prosecutor’s Offices ( general, military, garrison ) for helping to fully protect the rights of Russian military personnel, which cannot be said about the State Duma Committee on Defense.

Due to the fact that, apparently, in some sectors of the front there is a shortage of fighters in assault units, it is not uncommon for the command to remove narrow specialists from their positions and send them to the assault.

Without preliminary training and, often, without the necessary physical qualities, such military personnel, as a rule, quickly die in offensive operations. At the same time, finding a replacement for them at their previous duty station is also problematic - they need people trained in specific specialties and with experience.

We consider this a mediocre and irresponsible waste of personnel.

We receive letters with tragic stories about talented, UAV operators, RPGs, and tank crews who were transferred to attack aircraft one day and died on their first mission. And the problem is not that they did not complete the assault mission, but that due to this practice, the number of fighters with specialties is reduced, and it takes time to train a new tanker or drone operator.

At the same time, it is obvious that there is also no oversupply of military personnel with such military equipment.

There are more egregious cases. So, we had to deal with a situation where an anesthesiologist was sent to the front line, where he was setting up trenches. Although you don’t have to be a doctor to understand that he will bring much more benefit in a military field hospital.

Yes, some such situations can be resolved.

We recently received a decision ( thanks to the military prosecutor’s office ) in favor of a grenade launcher who was transferred to attack aircraft. The decision to transfer was canceled, the guy will serve in his specialty. But it is simply impossible to submit requests for every such case.

And they are resolved, as usual, in at least thirty days. During this time, a fighter can die 300 times without waiting for his homeland to recognize him as a valuable specialist.

“FBI searching Delmar home of ex-UN weapons inspector Ritter”

“The FBI is searching the Delmar home of ex-UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter in connection with a federal investigation.

A NewsChannel 13 photographer captured video of agents searching and taking pictures of both cars at the property on Dover Drive.

Agency spokeswoman Sarah Ruane confirmed that they were searching the home, but would not provide details on the investigation – per standard policy.

Ritter was the chief weapons inspector in Iraq. He was found guilty in 2011 of engaging in a sexually explicit web chat with a person in Pennsylvania who was pretending to a be a 15-year-old girl, according to Reuters. Ritter was actually corresponding with a detective for the Barrett Township Police Department.”

...And they will be covered by UKR artillery and rockets. Maybe even JDAMS, SDBs and AASMs. UKR could also have moved an air defense battery to the border...

I believe the key to UKF success is ISR drones.

If ISR drones detect ruzzian efforts to "feed the fight" then all the items listed above can come into play.

I also believe FPV drones will play an important part in destroying ruzzian men & equipment long before they reach the battle.

Crybar Russian update:

Twitter @ rybar_force

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk direction
5pm, August 8, 2024

Despite the attempts of the Russian forces to stop the advance of the Ukrainian mobile groups, the scale of the crisis is growing: unfortunately, the tactics of the Ukrainian forces with emphasis on speedy breakthroughs, bypassing fortified areas and maximum expansion of the breakthrough zone without consolidation at the first stage surpass the Russian army’s counterattack capabilities by their artlessness.

🔻 In Sudzha district the zone of conditional control of Ukrainian formations expanded to 30 km along the road Diakonovo — Sudzha.

▪️ Points of resistance of the Russian army are cut off and bypassed along the rockade roads. After occupying Kazachya Loknya in the north, and Mirny and Bondarevka in the south, Ukrainian froces entered Martynovka and tied up the troops there by fighting. After that, the village of Kruglik was taken.

At the same time, an AFU mobile group moved further along the highway, reaching Bolshoye Soldatskoye and engaging in combat in the village. There are reports that battles with enemy DRGs are taking place further along the highway.

▪️ There is fierce fighting in the surrounding settlements 15 kilometers south of Lgov.

▪️ In conditions of active engagement of the enemy’s electronic warfare at some areas there is still a “fog of war”, so it is premature to speak about the complete defeat of strongholds, which the enemy has passed or bypassed.

🔻 In Korenevsky district the AFU do not leave attempts to occupy the administrative center.

Simultaneous battles were fought at the entrance to Korenevo, as well as attempts to occupy Olgovka with Kremeny. For a part of the Ukrainian troops advancing in this area, it is necessary both to restrain the forces of the RF Armed Forces by fighting and to break through to the Rylsk - Lgov highway in order to expand the scale of the operational crisis of the Russian Armed Forces and stretch the forces of the Russian troops.

📌 At the same time, Ukrainian forces have already started entrenching on the achieved borders, introducing the second echelon. The capture of Suja has become an encouraging factor for the AFU, with which they are now trying to break their losses and demonstrate that the game is worth the candle.

The biggest problem in organizing the defense in the Kursk tactical direction is still the dispersion of units and the lack of the proper number of forces, which are now allegedly being withdrawn from other directions. At the same time, Russian information resources, which are racing to write the names of brigades and divisions that are about to arrive (but still do not arrive), are adding chaos to the information space.

Kursk direction: expansion of the control zone of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the east and north of Sudzha

what is known as of 17.00 August 8, 2024

Despite the attempts of the Russian combined group of troops ( forces ) to stop the advance of Ukrainian mobile groups, the scale of the crisis is expanding: unfortunately, the tactics of Ukrainian formations with an emphasis on high-speed breakthroughs, bypassing fortified areas and the maximum expansion of the breakthrough zone without consolidation at the first stage in their ingenuity are so far superior to their capabilities Russian army to counterattack.

In the Sudzhansky district, the zone of conditional control of Ukrainian formations expanded to 30 km along the Dyakonovo-Sudzha road.

Pockets of resistance to the Russian army are cut off and bypassed along rocky roads. After occupying Cossack Loknya in the north, as well as Mirny and Bondarevka in the south, Ukrainian formations entered Martynovka and engaged the troops there in battle. After this, the village of Kruglik was taken.

At the same time, the mobile group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces moved further along the highway, reaching Bolshoi Soldatskoye and starting a battle in a populated area. There are reports that battles with enemy DRGs are taking place further along the route.

15 km south of Lgov there are fierce battles in the surrounding settlements.

In the context of the active involvement of enemy electronic warfare in some areas, the “fog of war” still reigns, so it is premature to talk about the complete defeat of strongholds that the enemy has passed through or bypassed.

In the Korenevsky district, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not giving up attempts to occupy the administrative center.

Simultaneous battles were fought at the entrance to Korenevo, and attempts were also made to occupy Olgovka with Kremyany.

For part of the Ukrainian troops advancing in this sector, it is necessary to both pin down the forces of the Russian Armed Forces in battle and break through to the Rylsk-Lgov highway in order to expand the scale of the operational crisis of the Russian Armed Forces and stretch the strength of the Russian troops.

At the same time, Ukrainian formations have already begun digging in at the achieved boundaries, introducing a second echelon. The capture of Sudzhi has become an encouraging factor for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which they are now trying to overcome losses and demonstrate that the game is worth the candle.

The biggest problem in organizing defense in the Kursk tactical direction still remains the fragmentation of units and the lack of the required number of forces, which are now supposedly being withdrawn from other directions. At the same time, Russian information resources, which race to write the names of brigades and divisions that are about to arrive ( but still don’t come ), add chaos to the information space.

Pokrovsk direction: expansion of the control zone in Lisichny and liberation of Sergeevka

situation as of 17:00 August 8, 2024

Despite the difficult situation in the Kursk direction, the Center group of troops continues the successful liberation of the Donetsk People's Republic in the direction of Mirnograd and Pokrovsk.

In the Timofeevka area, Russian troops moved the front line to the west, knocking out the enemy from Lisichny.

In Ivanovka, clashes are taking place on the northwestern outskirts of the village, and according to some reports, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have completely retreated from the village.

To the south, units of the “Center” group of troops liberated Sergeevka: this fact is confirmed by recorded video materials.

It also became known about the capture of the scarce American-made M88A2 Hercules ARV [ tank recovery vehicle ], which was first encountered in the Pokrovsky direction. Judging by the photographs that appeared on the Internet, it received almost no damage and will probably be delivered to the Russian rear.

Information is also coming from Zhelannoye about the advancement of fighters of the Russian Armed Forces within the boundaries of the settlement and consolidation on the territory of an agricultural enterprise in the east of the village. According to preliminary data, Zhelannye has completely come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces and the area is currently being cleared.

In addition, fighting is taking place on the approaches to Kamyshevka and Novozhelanny, the capture of which will allow encircling the enemy in a “pocket” on the opposite bank of the Volchya River in the area of ​​the villages of Mezhevoye and Skuchnoye if the Ukrainian formations do not leave their positions.
