Starting New 🇷🇺🇺🇦Thread

Previous one ends here

1st footage of a new 🇺🇦Kamikaze drone

In appearance, dimensions and method of launching the Ukrainian UAV resembles the Iranian Arash-2 closely.
If it has similar performance characteristics, it will be able to strike deep behind Russian lines

The drone is launched from a low-tonnage truck using a launch rocket accelerator, and then flies to the target on a piston engine with a pusher propeller.

2nd pic is Iranian Arash-2 for comparison

Fragments of a R-37M long-range air-to-air missile found by Ukr soldiers.

R-37M is the most long-range missile of its class in the world, which allows 🇷🇺Su-35S & MiG-31BM fighters to hit Ukr aircraft without being exposed to the risk of retaliatory fire or air defense systems.

A cargo ferry has arrived in Germany where it unloaded the Bradley IFVs, Avenger AD vehicles and Hercules Recovery vehicles which are destined for Ukraine

Footage from the 🇷🇺150th Moto-Rifle Division in Marinka

New video footage provided by Izvestia shows Russian Army advance in the town of Marinka where troops took control over the Police Station .

Hard fighting in the ruins of the town, where both sides are clashing for every house.

Situation north of Bakhmut city:

following the approach of combat to Berkhivka the town of Paraskoviivka is semi-isolated, with only one supply road left, which is being used by Ukrainian Army to withdraw troops while others are trying to stop Russian Army advance.

❗️ Iran delivered new models of its drones to Russia - The Guardian

Since Nov 2022, Iran has delivered 18 new type attack drones to Russia: 12 Shahed-129 and Shahed-191 , as well as 6 Mohajer-6 units. The drones are said to have been selected by a Russian military delegation

The 🇺🇦 Air Force reports that new types of 🇷🇺UAVs have been spotted in the sky over many cities, conducting reconnaissance at an altitude of 6 km.

1/ Meanwhile, the Airforce command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports on the flights of balloons with corner (angular) reflectors in the Dnepropetrovsk region, on which the Ukrainian air defense worked.

2/ If this info is correct, the Russian Forces began to use a new tactic to open the positions of the Ukrainian air defense, using special balloons as decoys.
OR
The Chinese balloons got lost 😊

On Ukr-AF numbers:

For the period (2021-2023) The Ukrainian Air Force increased the fleet:

Looks like the mystery Ukrainian drone could be a modification of an existing Target drone
Unless the payload has been increased, it can only carry a small warhead of about 3kg...not comparable to the Shaheds or Arash drones

Rybar summary for Feb 12

⚡️The United States plans to carry out the transfer of militants to the Russian Federation and the CIS to carry out terrorist attacks against diplomats, civil servants, security officials and the military

Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation

🇪🇪Estonian PM:
“I am very happy to announce that today Estonia has handed over 10 F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv. While other countries are in doubt, we are providing assistance.

Unfortunately, we do not have the aircraft themselves, but the very fact of the transfer will be a colossal moral support for the people of Ukraine. If this number will not be enough, then we are ready to discuss the transfer of another 30 fighters," 🤡

Western publications publish satellite images from late January - early February showing that Russia has created military camps with a large concentration of troops near Voronezh and Kursk, similar to the camps that were deployed on the eve of the start of the SMO.

The order for volunteers to leave Bakhmut is probably a prelude to the withdrawal of Ukr troops and the fall of the city - NYT

Decision to close access to the city suggests that Ukr troops cant provide protection even for areas of the city that were considered relatively safe

Footage reportedly showing training of 🇺🇦crews on Leopard-2A5 tanks in Poland

Apparently the training course will last 1 month instead of the planned 3 months

The Austrian authorities refused to train Ukrainian tankers for Leopard 2 tanks, citing their neutrality

Meanwhile in Germany

Russian report on the fighting North of Kupyansk - East Kharkov region

In short, after the capture of Dvurechnoe, they're aiming for Kupyansk where an important rail junction is located through which supplies can be transported from the Belgorod region to the Donbas

Not much going on regarding map updates today.

The only significant development is around Paraskeivka (North of Bakhmut).

There are reports of fighting near the northern approaches to the town of Verkhivka and that Wagner has crossed the road on a second location

Some speculation on the much talked about Russian Offensive, this time from the camps on the satellite pics from Bryansk & Kursk regions.

Some believe they would aim to cut rail connections between Kiev - Kharkov - Donbass

/Map: Military Summary/

The way things stand at the moment, Ukraine can expect to receive 47 (could increase to 62) x Leopard-2 Tanks from 8 countries in the short term.

Over the longer term, about 240 might be made available. taking into account reserves from various European NATO countries.

"Elder Eddy" TG Channel (he is on the frontline):

Unfortunately, not every 🇷🇺 weapon can be said to work the way it was shown on TV before the war, but the ZALA and LANCET drones are excellent and fully meet the requirements of modern warfare.

US warns Ukr that the decisive moment has come in the war - WaPo.

US officials are making it increasingly clear to Ukr that the war is coming to a decisive moment, & the AFU must make as much progress on the battlefield as possible while receiving high amounts of Western aid.

US believes that the Western aid to Kiev gives the best chance to turn the tide of the conflict.

The situation may not be so good in the future, as some Republicans are determined to reduce support & Europe's determination is not very obvious.

The head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, Oleksiy Reznikov, hinted to journalists in Brussels that Su-27 fighter jets would be handed over to Ukraine.

By whom exactly and how many - is still a mystery.

Rat poison is increasingly being found in captured soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During the interrogations, it turned out that it was used as a filling for shells.
When such shells burst and this substance enters the blood, there is no chance of salvation.
