"It's time to cry wolf," says Russian host. He admits that Russian state media made a mistake by laughing at Ukrainians and expecting an easy victory over "helpless Ukraine," while the West would look the other way.

"That was bad, I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E."

“It’s time to cry wolf”

Or time to simply cry.

“Russian draft dodgers pour into Kazakhstan to escape Putin’s war”

“Vadim says he plunged into depression last month after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military draft to send hundreds of thousands of conscripts to fight in Ukraine.

“I was silent,” the 28-year-old engineer says, explaining that he simply stopped talking while at work. “I was angry and afraid.”

When Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began in February, Vadim says he took to the streets of Moscow to protest – but Putin’s September 21 order to draft at least 300,000 men to fight felt like a point of no return.

“We don’t want this war,” Vadim says. “We can’t change something in our country, though we have tried.”

He decided he had only one option left. Several days after Putin’s draft order, he bid his grandmother a tearful farewell and left his home in Moscow – potentially forever.”

Good?

You knuckleheads could not even blow a bridge.

Hell, you knuckleheads could not even blow up gas pipelines given one is still fully operational.

What you knuckleheads define is “good” is utter failure. LMAO.

The Crymea Bridge that will have a Ukrainian stamp to celebrate the propaganda win over Russia, who said it was safe. That bridge. 🥳

Everything - EVRYTHING - that this neo-Nazi ridden ZelenskyyIdiot has done is PR, even your staged “look, we found ‘torture chambers’, etc., etc., etc. BS staged by underpaid hired Hollywood prop managers.

It’s boomeranging though cause in that video I linked, even the Ukrainians in Kyiv are waking up to the BS.

“nobody voted for this”

Both the US House and Senate repeatedly voted by overwhelming margins to fund this war.

You knuckleheads could not even blow a bridge
Cranky is fighting in the frontlines... in his crank mind.

Ukrainian forces continue to turn heads with paint jobs on their equipment and weapons. There’s an M142 HIMARS launcher sporting 69 skulls for 69 “significant confirmed hits” on targets, and an R-27R air-to-air missile on a Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 that tells the Russian president exactly what he can do with it.

https://warontherocks.com/2022/09/the-tank-is-not-obsolete-and-other-observations-about-the-future-of-combat/

Excerpt:
After six months of war in Ukraine, some observers have insisted that “we are seeing the very nature of combat change” and that tanks, along with fighter jets and warships, “are being pushed into obsolescence.”

But it is too soon to write off the tank, and we should resist jumping to other sweeping conclusions about the future of warfare based on a conflict whose lessons are not yet clear. There is still much about this war that is not known from open sources, and there is good reason to think that the conditions that marked its early phases will not necessarily be relevant to future conflicts. As a result, specific weapon systems may appear to be ineffective based on how and where they are employed, not necessarily due to their inherent shortcomings.

This is the first time we have seen the AbramsX concept, which is representative of a future American main battle tank, outside of artwork.

AbramsX Technology Demonstrator on the Move Movie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcfuyyxFtgQ

The Abrams X is a main battle tank for the next generation, featuring reduced weight for improved mobility and transportability and delivering the same tactical range as the M1A2 Abrams with 50% less fuel consumption. The AbramsX’s hybrid power pack supports the U.S. Army’s climate and electrification strategies, enhances silent watch capability and even allows for some silent mobility. With a reduced crew size and AI-enabled lethality, survivability, mobility, manned/unmanned teaming (MUM-T) and autonomous capabilities, AbramsX can be a key node in lethal battlefield networks and serve as a bridge from Abrams SEPv3 and SEPv4 to a future tank.

••Kersh Bridge Attack:
I posted on the community board Crimean Bridge was attacked at 6 a.m Moscow of time on October 8th. There are all different versions, some of them are what Russian authorities are putting up which don’t make sense. What we can say for now, is one of the lines in one direction has been damaged.

Since three sections have been damaged or destroyed and need replacement. The road in the other direction looks like okay. Then there was some damage to the railroad line; there was quite a bit of burning from the fuel in the railroad carriages and there is, probably from high heat, some structural damage to the carrying capacity of the of the bridge in that area. We’ll find out; Russian side doesn’t even know themselves what’s going on there. They put a test train towards the end of the day that draws through it, and it successfully passed.

At the same time, they don’t allow passage of semi-trailer trucks or any trucks, with exception of the passenger cars on this other section. They started using ferries as soon as this happened, but as we discussed many times before, ferries don’t provide the same throughput - its many many times smaller than the regular bridge.

How it was attacked, is still somewhat unclear, however, there was news about two weeks ago on September 29, 2021 when there was an unmanned underwater or vehicle was found near Sebastopol, and it was found by Russian authorities - nobody knew what’s going on and couldn’t make any sense of it, then news died off because nothing happened. An Anti-Ship UAV boat was found there. Maybe that was an initial attempt to to attack the bridge at that time.

Now it was apparently more successful, but this is just hypothesis. I’m not saying there is some confirmation, but that would most plausible scenario: this boat as you can see here; so this is another picture from the damage, you can see that one section and a second section and a third section was somewhat damaged. The railroad bridge probably suffered structural damage from the high heat, from the fire from the railroad carriages, but we’ll find out later.

The whole point of all of this, and why this is important is this railroad line goes through Kersh, and then it supplies all Russian troops on Kherson Bridgehead.

There’s another line, however, this line goes close to the Donets’k south of the Donets’k then goes to south southeast. There’s the station I mentioned called Ilovais’k; its a large railroad juncture, but its not only a railroad juncture. Its also a large depot for the common locomotives, and its a big railroad infrastructure center - probably one of the largest in that region.

The attacks are being focused on are disrupting Russian supplies in the south of Ukraine; even Russian sources are openly admitting this created an additional disruption to the supply of the Russian troops in Kherson area, even though they are trying to quickly renew the whole thing and using ferries. Its still not the same volume.

That tells us there will be some major offensive down the road - I don’t know how quickly it ... could be tomorrow ... could be in two days, but giving this disruption, is a relatively short, it creates short window of additional disruption to the Russian ammunition supplies which are already under strained in on the Kherson Bridgehead.

That creates a relatively short window of opportunity for Ukrainian site to take advantage. Judging from that this offensive should be happening within day 2- 5 days, otherwise that opportunity will be gone. This is a little bit about this whole logistical situation and the railroad war of supply, a logistical war.

••Russian Military Command
See - Ukraine Situation Report: Russia Appoints New War Command above for more information:

In light of all of the setbacks, Putin changed the commander of the all of the Russian troops in Ukraine. The new Commander is Sergey Surovikin; he used to command troops near Luchans’k.

I think in July, Russian troops managed to suddenly breach Ukrainian defenses in the south and southeast of Luchans’k and then exploit that and forced Ukrainian troop, created like a almost encirclement, and forced Ukrainian troops without much fight out of Luchans’k and all the way to Bilohorka, and the front line moved almost to Sivers’k.

That was actually credited to Surovikin; that was his so-called biggest achievement during the war so far. Prior to that, he served in Syria two times; he served most of 2017 in Syria, and then also again in 2019. He was accredited in 2017 with military success which allowed Russia and its allies, including Iran, to regain control of almost all of Syria.

He was and he was awarded the Hero of Russia award for that success the war in Syria. That was a totally different experience and is pretty much irrelevant to what’s going on in Ukraine. Nevertheless, he’s apparently seen as someone who is capable, and if we go back to his prior history, we actually can see there is something to it.

Let’s go all the way back to how he started his career. His career began in the Soviet Army in 1983. Then he become well not famous, but negatively famous in August of 1991. The coup attempt by the Soviet military in August in the Soviet Union failed after two or three days because most of the military didn’t follow the direction.

Sergey Surovikin was a captain at that time, and he did follow orders: he brought in 15-20 Infantry Fighting Vehicles to Moscow, to the streets of Moscow, and when he engaged in fighting with the civilians who were protesting at that time. As a result of that, three of them died something one of the IFVs got burned by the civilians as well. He was just following the orders. even it was clear that was definitely not much support and for those members of the coupe.

He was in jail for 7 months after that because the coup failed, which is interesting as the new Russian President Yeltsin freed him from the jail, and promoted him to a major. Apparently, Yeltsin needed people like that, which is also very interesting because Yeltsin got power as a result of the failure of that coup.

The Soviet Union dissolved on December 1991 and Yeltsin, who was also protesting & participating in all of the activities against the coup, gained power, full power of t Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and also participating on the other side of the coup.

Nonetheless, Yeltsin promoted Surovikin to major, then he went on to get a high level military education, was caught selling weapons, I don’t know who he was selling them illegally to, obviously.

He was sentenced to a year and in prison; he did not serve it, as it was just conditional. At the same time, he graduated with honors from the military school. He’s not dumb; he’s intelligent, but there is some level of cruelty, I guess maybe that’s probably right way to describe it, in him.

He climbing up the ladders; he was commander of 42nd Infantry Division which is on the front line in Ukraine right now. There was a a couple accidents while he was there: in one in instance, one of the people who are responsible for arms in the Division and overseas all of the arms - Surovikin had some conversation with him, and after that conversation, he killed himself, which was very strange and unusual. There were allegations that as a result of the conversation with him, it was murder, but nobody knows.

It was also very interesting because it was related to someone who’s supervising arms in the unit, he was in charge all of the weapons, and going back to Surovikin’s illegal sales of the weapons during his military education period, and the rest there is a scale I guess you already know he was just climbing up, and then eventually he served in Syria. Then he’s promoted again; he is in charge of the whole Russian forces in Ukraine.

It looks like there is more reshuffling in the Russian high military command: the head of the force of a mechanized division was also dismissed, which is one of the elite units, but it has proven anything but elite; it was complete failure with very little fighting spirit, and probably because of that, he was also dismissed, because the expectation was the unit would have a high fighting spirit, but it turned out not to have it.

••North Luhansk’
Its very interesting right now that (A) there is not much movement by Ukrainian troops, not even major attacks or anything. they are on pause. Its very hard to explain what’s going on there.

At the same time, Russian troops are not waiting, they are counter attacking. They counter attack from Kremina area towards the village Dibrova, and they even claim they managed to capture the village. There was another attack directed towards this village Termy.

Russian troops completely regained control of themselves - before it was borderline disorderly retreat/panic. Now, they have totally regained control and are prepared to fight. That’s why I said it was absolutely a big mistake not to pursue Russian troops and not to put pressure on them, even if Ukrainian troops are exhausted. The problems down the road by not pursuing. far outweigh potential additional losses or anything that could come out of pursuing Russian troops right away.

There are also rumors that Russian troops are bringing more reinforcements. So its possible that Ukrainian command has lost the opportunity and Russian defensive line will be established for now. This will be it for sometime the defensive line. We’ll see what happens.

For sure Ukrainian side will they try to continue pushing Russian occupational troops out of Ukraine. Its definitely going to be harder and (B) its probably gonna cost more lives of Ukrainian soldiers, because breaking through established defenses will cost many more lives as opposed to when Russian troops are not dug in, but as you can see they regained control. and they start encounter attacking.

••North Donbas:
We can see even more of that. so you can see pretty much everywhere, especially the Wagner mercenaries are aggressively attacking every single spot, even the most northern part of it, even here below Bilohovivka; they are very aggressive attacks - they are aggressively pushing forward.

••Central Donbas:
It was a busy day with Russian troops aggressively attacking northeast of Avivka, then out of this Piskey salient a little bit south of Marinkova They are pretty aggressively pushing forward.

By the way, the main railroad line at Ilovais’k goes very close to the Olenivka,, then south very close to the front line - that’s why that Crimean bridge is very important since, technically, it used to be very far in the rear of the Russian troops, almost virtually guaranteed supply of material and weapons, everything ammunition, and this one at Olenivka could be a relatively easily intercepted. By the way, the 42nd Division that Surovikin was in charge of is here.

••Kherson bridgehead:
Ukrainian troops are continuing to put pressure against the newly established Russian front line, but its not strong pressure; its looks like its more like probing attacks. Then its not a major attack at this point, but at the same time, Russian troops are not retreating as easily as before.

Again the same situation, similar to what’s going on in North Luhansk’ front line where Russian troops regained control of themselves, and they stopped panicking; the attitude has clearly changed for how, long it will last, remains to be seen. Ukrainian troops lost momentum that is 100% true. Everything is still on the side of Ukrainian troops, especially here on Kherson bridgehead, yet, as we discussed Russian troops are starved for artillery ammunition, and generally starved for ammunition.

This will be lost, its just a question of time; it looked like it was on the verge of being lost within a week, now it looks like it may last months - best case scenario for Russian side is two months or if Russia launches major offensive somewhere else, technically there is a small chance that this situation will remain the way it is for some time.

The situation is has stabilized for the Russian side for how, long remains to be seen. Ukrainian command will continue putting pressure, and it’s a big goal for Ukrainian side to liberate this whole bridgehead and regain control of Kherson which would be not only military victory, but a psychological victory internally for Ukrainian society. Its extremely important because society has invested heavily in human lives, and then there is expectation to see some results from of it.

The pressure to show results is mounting politically in Ukraine; also from International politics. It also matters to prove that the whole support was worthwhile from the West, but again, the internal is the most important because in the end, that’s who fights - its Ukrainian citizens who go and fight and die there on the front line.

Hilariously, ZelenskyyIdiot issued that commemorative stamp in celebration BUT the bridge attack failed and NOW his handler Podolyak claims it was a false flag.

Only a simpleton would believe a word out of a Ukrainian......

“heavy trucks, vans and buses are traveling on ferry boats.”

Its all Good Comrade.
