Update from the Vuhledar region in Donetsk: Russian forces launched an early morning attack on the 29th Oct 2022, against Vuhledar and Pavlivka.

Heavy artillery hits the Ukrainian lines while suicide drones took out Ukrainian SAM systems located west of Vuhledar. With the SAMs taken out, Russian air force operated freely to disrupt any reinforcements the Ukrainians set out to back up the defense lines.

TOS-1A framethrowers were reportedly used at the Pavlivka assault. The first line of defense at Pavlivka is overran by the Russian forces, as the Ukrainians are unable to reinforce the lines due to Russian air strikes and artillery.

Russian forces is now at the outskirt of Pavlivka and established fire control over the highway NE of Vuhledar.

Thank you for faithfully posting Cathi. You’ve acquired some sources that are far more balanced and substantiated than those who push the Pro Zelensky propaganda so it’s a relief to read yours.

In the South-Donetsk direction, units of Russian troops in the course of offensive operations destroyed the enemy in the areas of settlements in the DPR, and also captured a number of strongholds and dominant heights.

Assault detachments of Russian troops during the offensive advanced more than three kilometers deep into the enemy’s defenses and reached the southern outskirts of Pavlovka in the DPR. More than 100 Ukrainian servicemen, one tank, three armored fighting vehicles and six pickup trucks were destroyed. Six Ukrainian servicemen surrendered, one Ukrainian tank was captured

Oh yeah - the Soviets - I mean "Russians" are gloriously conquering the Ukraine in only eight months of "Special Military Operations".

Give it up, Russian plant.

If we were able to count “Russian plants” around here they would be greatly out-numbered by Western Deep State plants.

TOS-1A framethrowers - I did not know flamethrowers were still being used in modern warfare, I thought they went out in WW II.

“I did not know flamethrowers were still being used in modern warfare”

WWII was 75 years ago. This particular model can throw very large flames at targets 10 kilometers away.

🚨🚨🚨A video of the Russian team of the heavy flamethrower TOS-1A “Solntsepek” organizes a hellfire for Polish mercenaries⚡️

They are one of their most effective weapons, but they don’t have very many.

It a rocket launcher, not a flame thrower.

Sounds like Russia is getting tired of this war dragging on.

I think it is more a case of they now have incorporated some of the new soldiers and, of course, the new general in charge is aggressive...:-)

🇷🇺❗️Shoigu announced the completion of partial mobilization in Russia - the main statement from the report of the Minister of Defense to the President of the Russian Federation

- the task of partially mobilizing 300,000 people has been completed, the military registration and enlistment offices will continue recruiting volunteers and candidates for contract service;

- the average age of those called up as part of partial mobilization is 35 years;

- 13,000 Russians went to the troops as volunteers, without waiting for summons from the military registration and enlistment offices;

- 218,000 mobilized are at the training grounds and are undergoing training and combat coordination, 82,000 people are currently in the SMO zone, of which 41,000 are operating as part of units;

- all the problems that arose at the initial stage of partial mobilization have been resolved;

- The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation must be equipped with modern types of weapons.

Someone need to send them Bush to explain what the victory has to be declared early in the war...only to lose it several years later.

Yep, I’m hearing the same. Seems that the bridge attack triggered all these changes and maybe took a war that was going to go on for years, and turned it into something that the Russians will dispose of in weeks or months (at the most).

I’m also wondering if the Neocons are wishing they could ‘retract’ the bridge attack - seems to have jolted Russia out of their complacency at the time.

“Ukrainian insider channel:
Our source in the OP said that foreign volunteers / mercenaries refused to take part in the assault on Kherson, which is why the entire operation is postponed for several weeks until the Ukrainian Armed Forces collect new reserves.”
