International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

[Badr Hari]

The Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a bridge across the Seim River in the Kursk Region.

According to Mash, part of the Glushkovsky District was cut off because of this: Tyotkino, Popovo-Lezhachi, Volfino and about 27 other settlements. "Now it is only possible to evacuate the civilian population by water," the article says.

The destruction of the bridge across the Seim will complicate the logistics of Russian troops south of the river, military bloggers note.

Now after a bit of research I see they have another bridge in Zvanoe. That one is smaller in size and Ukr has hit it and is trying to destroy it.

I'm no expert but IMHO Ukr will easily capture Tetkino and Glushkovo and all those small settlements in between without Rus using these bridges. Normally it shouldn't be that difficult of a task for AFU. Freaking Freedom of Russia Legion was able to take Tetkino 6 months ago. Most interesting battle will be Korenevo.

There was one opinion that Russia will relocate some troops from Luhansk and Donetsk oblastj to Kursk oblastj...

This didn't had happened at all despite some movements ....
Putin looks that will continue and western " friends " will continue Chamberlain - Kissinger type game with " supplies " as usually.
While most likely Ukraine despite their " partners " ( LOL) had managed to push Russia to relocate enough radioelectronic warfare equipment to Kursk and Voronez area , therefore ukr now might use a bit more drones in Donetsk oblastj ....

BTW Kissinger was correct that better is to have U.S as enemy rather than friend.
Europe looks that in reality will continue to fill storages and boost up renewables bubble & defense budgets ...while Zelensky administration is considered as pro Hungary/ Slovakia etc oriented putinoids = reality. Does he have balls to do famous busification ? Yes.
Does he have balls to blame EU for " insufficient " support? Yes.
Does Zelensky have balls to close valves in pipelines? NO.

Therefore we can't use enough pressure instruments against Hungary and Slovakia....

Will Zelensky administration explain why they still are helping Russia to earn money by using transit via Ukraine or they are dreaming that we do not see Plan Demic No2?

And nope, my electricity and fuel price will not change if huelensky will close valves long ago...Jezus, maybe we are seeing spectacle in plan demic style?

Yeah there is evidence one of the two smaller bridges is damaged. Karyzh bridge is still in tact from what I see. Korenevo remains an important battle as both sides consider it important. If Rus keep it they might force Ukr into abandoning entire Kursk oblast adventure, if Ukr win it, Rylsk will be fooked.

 

[SandisLL]

So Kursk oblastj.
Ukraine now claims that they does have physical control in 70 villages.

Village ( settlement ) is wide term and in Russia and Ukraine is used to describe stuff that doesn't have city rights. Village might have some 50 or even 5000 inhabitants....

 

[SandisLL]

I might explain what means Ukraine financial support for Russia.
Zelensky administration for example provided smooth crude oil and natural gas supplies from Russia for Hungary and Slovakia while Orban had 2 months in row blocked 50 b EUR collective assistance bill for Ukraine from cooperate collective funding?
Isn't here time for Zelensky to serve in trenches on 0 line? I think that yes.
I didn't had agreed with such decision and still we shoul ate Zelensky & CO business busification and yelling?

We might help to provide crude oil supplies for refineries ....we aren't idiots....
We do have cancer in EU in Fico and in lesser extent in Orban. We don't need extra countries where pro Kremlin oriented lawmakers might get elected in next elections....shit like Georgia and maybe also Ukraine...sorry for reality.

it appears they're testing the waters with bridge for future JASSM strike?


Its insane to me, but we've hardly ever used JASSM. only 2x and basically Starched our heads an started making improved versions. 1000lb warhead should be enough to knock out a bridge


my guess is we give them 20 or 30 out of our stockpile. But probably the none improved ones. Maybe some LRASM's ? but they're not integrated on F-16

Whatever the case the situation doesn't seem good for Russia troops in SW Kursk.

Ukr could blow the other bridges with conventional artillery at this point.

The Seym River is quite wide if they're lucky they can swim across with just the clothes on their back.

Ukraine now is telling that they does control more than 70 villages in Kursk Oblastj. While Russia looks that is continuing to pressure Luhansk & Donetsk oblatstj and I now see how correct was Kissinger about to have west as " friend ".

Ukraine looks that will be buffer between west and east with ceding some % of territory to Russia and kept to live in empty dreams, or will be 100% Russia. West or east will not care.

As I had posted more than year ago Ukraine is supplied in order slowly to loss territories and obviously why not if Kiev regime still doesn't knows that there is war in Ukraine? Plandemic, soon will be next covid and maybe monkeypox etc when this business will be too boring for public to bear....

it was an airstrike?

 

[SandisLL]

it was an airstrike?

I think that NO.

 

[Cid]

it was an airstrike?

I think HIMARS'd. Title probably wrong.

 

[syct23]

I think that NO.

From the few reports I’ve been able to skim through, thinking it’s HIMARS.

Apparently there were some reporters around the bridge when they noticed it was being targeted by HIMARS and they had to book it asap..

For me looks that this might be simulation...OR properly placed explosives under bridge panel connections ...cos I see Pic how " properly " reinforced concrete panel is dropping from connections.
This more likely might happen IF properly placed explosives OR simulation.

Maybe I'm wrong but panel usually under other obstacles doesn't drops in exactly such (!) manner. Unless armature is too rusty..etc obstacles ..

I know they have strict censorship and media regulation but I didn't think it was this awful.
