1/ I've been a student of #airassault in the #canadianarmy for some time, and thanks to great sources such as this one, have done some thinking on the VDV assault on #Hostomel. TLDR: AAslt remains relevant. The attack failed because of Russian errors.
2/ What follows is a thread on some of the planning and execution errors in the #RFAF AAslt on Hostomel on 24 Feb 22. My intent is to make sure we don't take the wrong lessons from this battle, and ID some good ones. @RCAFOperations @101stAASLTDIV @16AirAssltBCT #canmiltwitter
3/ First, the successes. The RFAF successfully surged a VDV battalion with aviation fires in support 100km beyond the FLOT, achieving operational surprise. They also destroyed at least two AD sites on the Dniper River with joint fires, according to #RUSI

Today is the anniversary of the liberation of the #Kyiv region. The date when the whole world saw the truth about the Russian occupation. #RussiaisATerroistState #RussiaWarCrimes
A year ago this day, #Russia suffered an unexpected defeat since February 24, 2022, as #Russia planned to conquer Ukraine in "three days". #RussiaInvadedUkraine
Welcome to Day 394 of the war - exactly 13 months since #Russia began its illegal full invasion.
Here's the daily news thread for Friday.

Things are hotting up in #Russia - and not only with the end of winter.
There's been a definite uptick in #RussiaOnFire stories in the last two weeks and some interesting places are becoming victims of 'careless smokers'.
Today I have for you videos from near #Yekaterinburg

New preprint 🚨 from our NORSAR team looking into the realtime monitoring of the 2022 #Ukraine #Russia conflict using seismic & acoustic data. We detect large-scale & well reported assaults as well as numerous unreported events bit.ly/3J0BfPO
We take advantage of the Malin array still operated by the #ukrainian seismologists during war time which is incredible. Our method is particularly sensitive to events happening in the #Kiev region but we also observe larger scale and more distant explosions
This dataset, validated in part against #liveuamap data, gives us an unprecedented and objective look into the type of military activity occurring on the frontline. Unbiased & continuous datastreams are key to detect breaches & enforce international law.

Siège de #Chernihiv, ma ville ukrainienne d'adoption depuis 2015.
Les 1ères unités blindées russes sont arrivées en début d'ap-midi le 24/02/22 sur la rocade N-W en provenance de Gomel (Biélorussie).
La ville fut encerclée du 24/02 au 04/04 ⤵️

2) L'attitude de l'armée russe a été sans réelle surprise pour moi, qui l'ai côtoyée durant 22 mois en OPEX. Improvisation à tous les niveaux. Les soldats russes ne savaient pas le 24/02 qu'ils envahissaient l'Ukraine. On leur a dit qu'ils allaient "protéger la frontière".
3) côté ukrainien : la seule 119ème brigade territoriale du district militaire nord de #Chernihiv. Elle reçu quelques jours plus tard le renfort d'une partie de la 1ère brigade blindée venant de Brovary.
1/n Moja pobudka 24.02.2022. 😢 Kolega wysłał mi komunikat, a jeszcze dzień wcześniej przekonywałem go, że #WojnaWUkrainie #RussiaInvadedUkraine się nie wydarzy.
2/n Minutę później już wiedziałem, że "Wojna" to wojna jakiej Europa nie widziała od WW2.
3/n Myślę, że każdy kto choć trochę znał ukraińską duszę, widział co się działo na Majdanie i w Donbasie przeczuwał, że to nie będzie spacerek dla rosyjskiej armii.

Es ist wirklich zum Heulen, dass seit #UnternehmenMerkur die #Fallschirmjägertruppe immer und immer wieder derselben Kritik gegenübersteht - die zu 99% auf einer EKLATANTEN Unkenntnis bzgl Einsatzgrundsätze und -verfahren von #Luftlandoperation zurückzuführen ist!

case in point...
Allein hier geht es doch los: wenn wir seit 70 Jahren dieselbe Frage stellen - und seit 70 Jahren Fallschirmjäger ungebrochen integraler Bestandteil der Streitkräftekonzeption (weltweit) sind - stellen wir vllt die falsche Frage?
All the threes. Day 333 of this dreadful war in #Ukraine
But there are not 3 sides. Succinctly you're against #Russia killing civilians, or you're in favour.
Being "neutral" is just allowing war crimes and worse these countries likely profit from the genocide, just as in WWII.

If you missed y'day click⬇️
The air raid still active right now is due to a couple of suspected kamikaze drones in #Kyiv oblast.
The Head of the region Oleksiy Kuleba says air defence is working, but one UAV is still thought to be active as they followed the river Dnipro towards the capital.

Thursday. Day 302 of #Russia's illegal war on #Ukraine begins where it's still Wednesday evening, with President Zelenskyy of #Ukraine about to address Congress in Washington DC.
He needs Congress to continue to approve US aid for the war.

Meanwhile in #Ukraine, during an air raid warning in #Odesa (RU: #Odessa) explosions are reported in the region - not in the city itself.
However it may be air defence.

Key points from @RUSI_org report regarding Russian invasion of Ukraine, period Feb - Jul 2022.
1/x. Russia planned to invade Ukraine over a 10-day period and thereafter occupy the country to enable annexation by August 2022.

Heute vor 9 Monaten gelang Ukrainern die erste Rückeroberung des Flughafens #Hostomel. Die russischen FschJg konnten das Flugfeld nicht halten, anfliegende Il-76 mit Panzern und hunderten Soldaten drehten ab. Der Enthauptungsschlag auf Kyiv schlug fehl. Es ist alles möglich!🇺🇦✌️
Der Gegenangriff wurde damals im Frontkommando übrigens von ihm hier befehligt. 😊
Die Kontrolle über den Flughafen wechselte wochenlang hin und her. Durch die andauernden Kämpfe konnte er jedoch nie v. den Russen zum Einfliegen von Truppen, Großgerät und Material genutzt werden. Das war die entscheidende Schwächung, zumal die Hauptarmee nördlich im Stau stand.

These are some of the x-rays. They tell two stories: the extent of the injuries sustained and the numbers that came into ONE hospital.
But they tell another... Andrei said he felt the Russians only brought out the ones who could survive... #RussiaUkraineWar

Il était environ 4h15 du matin, le 24 février.
En quelques minutes, les missiles russes ont pilonné les défenses aériennes, les dépôts de munitions, les aérodromes et les bases ukrainiennes, remplissant le petit matin des bruits de la guerre. #Ukraine

"Dans les premières minutes, ils ont porté des coups terribles à notre défense aérienne, des coups terribles à nos troupes en général. Il y avait des cratères de 20m, comme personne n'en a jamais vu de sa vie", se souvient le ministre de l'Intérieur ukrainien #Monastyrsky.

Fierce battles took place in these towns, but today, in the liberated territories, we are working every day to clear the streets as soon as possible from destroyed enemy vehicles, burned civilian vehicles, broken fences, trees, and the effects of airstrikes.
After close to 2 months in #Ukraine signing off. No end in sight to the #Russia Ukraine War. A beautiful country & lovely hard working people stare at an uncertain future. Lives & homes shattered, a country devastated. Russia will keep trying to inch forward from Donbas to Dnipro

Η Ρωσία πρέπει να τιμωρηθεί για τα Εγκλήματά της. Και μαζί κάθε ανίερος υποστηρικτής του Πουτινοναζισμού σε όλο τον κόσμο.
