    It’s interesting to see how deputies are giving back to the story of banning gadgets on the front line

    Recently, the State Duma allowed unit commanders to send military personnel to the guardhouse for using gadgets at the front without a court decision. The decision was made at lightning speed at the suggestion of the Minister of Defense.

    After the military, the media, and active paramilitary bloggers harshly criticized this decision, the deputies sharply began to publicly and behind the scenes declare that they were against it. If not all, then very many are justified.

    And why? Because many deputies last visited the Northern Military District zone back in 2022-2023. Some help the front only in words, or very little.

    Rumor has it that some media outlets decided to raise information about real assistance, and they contain extremely sensitive and even shocking data about the work of our parliamentarians.

    Dear friends and deputies, if I were you, we should already load the cars with the help of the military and go to the front. Whoever gets there first may be forgiven for his treacherous decision [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4419 ].

    And whoever goes against the Ministry of Defense and submits a new bill, and proposes to cancel an absolutely out-of-date decision, has every chance of even gaining some popularity in military circles.

    But, probably, the matter will not move beyond chatter. Alas.

    Deputy Shoigu went to Butyrka. What is known about the detention of Dmitry Bulgakov?

    The top news of the day was the detention of former Deputy Minister of Defense, Hero of Russia Dmitry Bulgakov . From 2008 to 2022, Bulgakov was responsible for the logistics of the army. Sources close to Sergei Shoigu consider the detention to be a continuation of the general’s purges, which began with the arrival of Andrei Belousov in the Ministry of Defense.

    The FSB made it clear that in the course of early agreements with the president, only Shoigu has immunity; most other former and current representatives of the Ministry of Defense may also fall under the distribution. The intelligence service hints that Belousov has established close contact with the top of the FSB and is providing them with the necessary information.

    “Bulgakov is one of the culprits that the SVO dragged on for so long. He screwed up everything he could in the rear. He was removed from his post in September 2022, because the condition of the equipment at the storage facilities did not correspond greatly to the documents,” explained a source in the General Staff who personally knows Bulgakov.

    Interlocutors in the generals do not hide the fact that the frequent detentions of high-ranking representatives of the Ministry of Defense do not contribute to the creation of a working atmosphere in the army.

    Moreover, some consider such detentions to be window dressing on Belousov’s part in order to gain the loyalty of others.

    Anti-aircraft missile hits Su-34, but the crew manages to land
    By Boyko Nikolov On Jul 22, 2024

    The crew of a Russian Su-34 bomber pulled off an extraordinary feat when they opted not to eject after the plane was struck by an anti-aircraft missile from Ukrainian forces. Instead, they managed to land the damaged aircraft at the nearest airport, as reported by military correspondent Kiril Fedorov. It’s important to note that the Fedorov claim hasn’t been officially confirmed by Russian authorities.

    While Fedorov kept the pilots’ identities under wraps, he shared key details of the incident. The missile connected with the Su-34 at an altitude exceeding 9 km, striking the rear hemisphere. The impact caused several onboard systems to fail. Despite the severity of the situation, the pilots decided to forego ejection and aimed to land the aircraft safely. Remarkably, they accomplished this, and the damaged plane is now slated for repair. According to Fedorov, the brave airmen were later honored with the Order of Courage.

    The Su-34, a two-seater frontline jet bomber, was heavily engaged in the airstrike, operating as a carrier of planting bombs. To deploy these bombs, the planes ascend to heights above 9 km, where the thin atmosphere and frigid temperatures - below minus 50 degrees Celsius - pose additional challenges.

    If this episode is verified, it can be said that the Russian Su-34 crew had an incredible stroke of luck. According to BulgarianMilitary.com, among the Russian aircraft such as the Su-27, Su-30, Su-34, and Su-35, the Su-34 is notably more susceptible to anti-aircraft missile attacks. The reasons are more complex than cinematic portrayals often suggest.

    Moscow claims it has destroyed five Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jets and one MiG-29, along with a radar and valuable Patriot air defense launchers.

    all false of course - the planes had been park for over a decade and were nothing more than a source of spare parts. No Patriots have been hit so far.

    Bad news from Crimea. The airfield was attacked there at night

    Last night, the enemy attacked an airfield in the Saki region of Crimea with a salvo of missiles. Unfortunately, not all missiles flying at their targets were shot down. The enemy previously used at least 4 ATACMS missiles.

    According to our information, the radar was completely lost, and there was also at least one hit on the ammunition load, followed by detonation. Unfortunately, there is a high probability that there will be losses in aircraft. The damage is now being assessed.

    “Our Sushki ( we are probably talking about the Su-24 - Ed. ) were stationed not far from the BC. At least 3 aircraft were definitely damaged, maybe more,” said a source in Crimea.

    Unfortunately, there are deaths. One of the rocket fragments hit the air defense control center of the airfield, 5 people are known to have died, including officers.

    Now serious investigations are underway on the ground as to why the airfield could not be protected, and most importantly, why they did not have time to scramble aircraft in order to avoid losses of the air fleet.

    What is important? They knew about the impending attack on Crimea. But the command did nothing to avoid the consequences.

    [ Major Russian Base Set Ablaze by HIMARS and Partisans from Chasiv Yar ]


    Today [ July 25 ], there are a lot of updates from the Bakhmut direction.

    The most interesting updates come from the northern flank of Chasiv Yar.

    Here, Ukrainian guerilla attacks are hampering Russian offensive efforts while HIMARS strikes are launched against the Russian rear, complicating their logistics and organization. Meanwhile, despite all the difficulties, Russians are trying to expand their control zone around Kalinivka to set the ground for an assault across the canal towards Chasiv Yar.

    The Russians use a well-developed railway network across the Donbas to provide logistical support, transporting equipment and supplies to forces across the front. However, the extensive and widespread nature of this railway network makes it challenging for the Russians to protect it effectively from potential attacks.

    For this reason, Ukrainian guerrillas from the underground groups, operating in Russian-controlled Donbas since 2014, are working towards disrupting such important logistical routes in cooperation with Ukrainian military intelligence. In a video released by Ukrainian guerrillas, they unexpectedly destroyed a railway relay box near Almazna in the Luhansk region.

    This act of sabotage disrupted train traffic, significantly slowing down and delaying Russian logistics. The resulting chaos led to severe shortages of ammunition.

    This incident occurred on the crucial Debaltsevo-Kadiivka route, which holds significant strategic importance for the Russians. In Kadiivka, Russian military equipment and supplies are unloaded and then transported by motor vehicles to Bakhmut, located to the west. The guerrilla sabotage caused delays in logistics, which in turn slowed Russian advances in and around Chasiv Yar.

    Coordination between Ukrainian military intelligence and guerrillas has allowed for precise information relay to Ukrainian HIMARS operators, facilitating accurate strikes against critical Russian equipment and infrastructure. Ukrainian military intelligence reported successful hits on a Zhitel electronic warfare system near Novoluhansk and a Russian logistics center near Debaltseve, which was heavily stocked with ammunition and tanks.

    The destruction of Zhitel electronic warfare systems is highly significant because these systems disrupt precision-guided munitions such as JDAMs and HIMARS, as well as drones. Their loss will allow Ukrainians to conduct more frequent strikes against the Russian rear and disrupt their logistics to the front lines.

    Consequently, Russian frontline units will face shortages of equipment and ammunition, forcing them to conserve their resources, until they can restore their supply lines.

    As a result, Russian assaults in Chasiv Yar have gradually slowed. The initial objective was to cross the canal at two key crossings to encircle the town. However, the Russian command has decided to focus on expanding their control on the eastern side of the canal, extending their efforts to the north.

    In Kalinivka, the Russians have chosen to advance northward with the goal of securing the village of Hryhorivka. Hryhorivka is strategically important because it could provide the Ukrainians with a launch point for counterattacks if the Russians cross the canal and attempt to cut off Ukrainian forces.

    Additionally, a weakened logistics chain would make the Russians more vulnerable to flank attacks due to shortages of ammunition and equipment. Understanding this, the Russian command is focused on securing Hryhorivka to prevent potential flank attacks and maintain their strategic position.

    To focus on this effort, the Russians had to abandon their plans to cross the canal near Kalinivka and redirect their advance toward Hryhorivka. The Ukrainian defense at Hryhorivka is not as fortified as in other parts of the Bakhmut direction, as additional forces for a flank attack have yet to be mobilized.

    Nevertheless, the Russian command prefers to avoid any risk. Recent attacks have allowed the Russians to advance by 2 kilometers toward Hryhorivka and seize control of the small farms in the eastern part of Kalinivka.

    The expansion of Russian control over parts of the eastern bank of the canal will also enable them to accumulate more forces there for future attempts at crossing the canal.

    Overall, the Ukrainian significantly weakened Russian logistics in the Bakhmut direction and forced the Russian command to protect their flanks at risk of undermining their offensive.

    Further Ukrainian strikes against Russian logistics could create significant long-term issues for the Russian troops, potentially halting in their attacks on Chasiv Yar.

    This situation would give the Ukrainian Garrison time to build up additional reserves and strengthen their defenses, with the opportunity to launch counterattacks, if Russian logistics continue to suffer from prolonged disruptions.

    By doing so, the Ukrainians could prevent the Russians from achieving their objective of capturing Chasiv Yar by the end of the summer campaign.

    Obviously you do not understand what we are ups against - Suicidal you say.

    The 12ers who run Iran, aka the Mad Mullahs, would like nothing better than to be martyred along with their population because the scent of that amount of blood would bring the 12 Imam out of the Well he climbed into in the 7th century, to lead all good muslims to wipe out all of humanity, aka bring everyone to Paradise.

    Death is their game and Death is their aim.
