“Advisers”. Like Vietnam.

Yes, the escalation has been coming in steps; but isn’t that always the way we get into it. First the advisors, then the special forces, etc. We don’t seem to be able to stop because we need to win.

The Ukrainian insider post saying that we want to take over control of the Ukraine military war efforts is a worry. Zelensky is balking; but he’s our puppet, bought and paid for and if this info is correct we are using our money and weapons as leverage.

Interesting post just came out of a Rybar’s analysis of the CNN feature on the Ukraine river crossing.

Slavyangrad - Gleb Bazov
American journalists passed off destroyed Ukrainian armoured vehicles as Russian—@Rybar’s analysis.

Yesterday, CNN published a report from the vicinity of Belogorovka near Lisichansk, where Russian units suffered heavy losses in equipment during an attempt to traverse the Seversky Donets river. The crossing itself was not captured on video: only a few destroyed armored vehicles appeared in the frame.

Our team was able to geolocate the filming location and confirm that the recording was actually made north of Belogorovka near the Mikulyn Gora hill. This confirms the lack of control of the RF Armed Forces over the settlement.

But much more interesting are the shots with destroyed equipment.

In total, four destroyed armored vehicles located at the fork in the road appear in the CNN report:

➖ Tank - 48.944167, 38.244722
➖ MT-LB, BMP and another tank - 48.945000, 38.245000

Slavyangrad - Gleb Bazov
Our team analyzed the recording in detail and noted several important characteristic details:

▪️ Both tanks from the video are T-64s of various modifications. This is noticeable in the characteristic shape of the road wheels, which is very different from those of the T-72, T-80 or T-90.

▪️ There are no T-64 tanks in service with the RF Armed Forces. The People’s Militias of DNR and LnR have them, but the republican units did not participate in the crossing near Belogorovka. Therefore, all the destroyed tanks from the CNN video are Ukrainian. This theory is also confirmed by the “pixelated” camouflage of one of the tanks that the camera lens caught, which is typical for the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ equipment.

▪️ The affiliation of the destroyed BMP-2 and MT-LB is extremely difficult to establish purely from their appearance. However, the armored vehicles are standing close to the burnt tanks. The battle of light vehicles with the T-64 at such distance looks strange, and by indirect signs they can also be attributed to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On purpose or not, but instead of shots with broken Russian equipment, the American channel showed destroyed tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and two units of light armored vehicles, which, with a high degree of probability, also belonged to the Ukrainian army.

🔻 It is not known what prevented CNN journalists from approaching the river and filming several pieces of equipment with O symbols on their armor. Perhaps the terrain in this area is still subject to fire from the other side of the river.

🔻 But another explanation is much more logical: apparently, in pursuit of a sensation, reporters from the United States simply showed unprofessionalism and used whatever material they had available— expecting viewers who will not dig for details.
