Hello There!
everything's (almost) ok this morning...
Take a walk.. have a good day you all!
#SlavaUkraïni

1/n
2/ ok... short debrief to what happened yesterday evening. 'plus de peurs que de mal"
What happened is as i said in S-West #Bakhmut to #TchassivYar it was only scouting & probing and they were destroyed easily.
What happened close to #KrasnaHora area is that stupid #Wagner
3/ went "alone" to try to do something major, just because certainly #Prigozhin gave direct orders... but they were not supported from a joint forces ops with regular Ru army.. so they effing "failed". in Some places they even withdraw..
reminder :
4/ the situation is most difficult right now is in the area of #Kreminna
i have no direct report out of all the "regular channels" there, & it seems that they all agree on the fact that Ru are pushing there as much as they can & bringing in more heavy materials every day.
5/ clearly they have AT LEAST the objective to go back to administrative border by end of the month, & surely as explained 1000times, go back to #Lyman up to #Severskiy donets river this coming spring...
so right now it's really a huge battle there ! no doubt abt it.
ok in .
6/ up north Ru are trying to scout and push some small units to #Kupiansk direction but not success same to #Stelmakhivka & elsewhere they are just preparing for future offensive.
what is "interesting" is that we can clearly see that there is no real "command" there...
7/ Ru are not even working on their "push" in regard to joint operations elsewhere..
it's just crap right now up there, in the N-E they are just losing recce units for nothing....
IMO they just put in their report at the end of the day : "we tried!"
8/ Also this is what it looked like yesterday.. We still need to recognize that Ru forces r quite close to #Koupiansk #Купянськ & it will certainly be in coming weeks as intense there as in Kreminna area right now. because this is a true important place to secure for both armies
9/ out of that, the frontline remains the same..
nothing to add.
and i still don't even understand how can RU are not even able to seize #Mariinka as it is only a pile of rubble now...
10/ just one last thing though..;
some "huge" reports yesterday :
Russia's new offensive force has prepared
- 1800 tanks
- 3950 armored vehicles
- 2700 artillery units
- 810 self propelled guns
- 400 jets
- 300 helicopters

To be launched in next coming weeks
but... wait.
11/ we had some "reports" like that before... and nothing really came true after a while...
so let's not confuse what they still have in reserve & the forces they will "push" for real at one go, & how (joint ops) & what will remain in the "rear" etc etc..
tsn.ua/ato/velikiy-na…
12/ Also in terms of artillery we still need to see how they'll overcome their own limits in terms of ammo & what is the real support they will have from dedicated intel teams (it takes huge ressources)

Anyway.. just to end this report :
Alleged Russians losses yesterday.
nice
13/ and this what Ru are using right now to try to probe for next gen major attack.
because to be honest, as they did not used much lately, we can expect for next big offensive, a major volley of everything they still have in reserve...
so one time 150 or like more recently,
14/ on 2 or 3 diff days (just to have proper feed back and reajust) they can send up to 150 missiles -like #Kalibr and maybe hundred-ish of #Shahed

we also will see soon about that.

ok that's it for now! see you later!
let's back to work!

1/ Quick & dirty situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on February 09, 2023
#Russian are just going like crazy right now.. because they r moving forward to try to "close the deal" in #KrasnaHora #КраснаГора N-East #Bakhmut
about 1 km to close the pocket.
#UkraineMap Image
2/ can't tell you why #Ukrainian are still there or if they are moving away from there and Russians are moving in... i have some reports but they are "different" let's put it like this, depending on the guy out there reporting. now they are still there... but maybe not for long.
3/ Also i have (i'll try to explain if i have time tomorrow, but my days are crazy right now) some diff reports from guys in the area who are really pissed off with their chain of commands (when commander r "old school" trained ala Ru & don't want to act according to more modern

1/ ds l'oreillette @LCI : il n'y a plus de AV-8B Harrier :
= pas tout à fait :
"The Marine Corps currently retains 126 AV-8B and TAV-8B aircraft, with only 80 Harrier aircraft in active service as of 2018. Each fighter squadron operates 16 AV-8B Harrier jets. The Marine Corps
2/ currently plans to have all squadrons transitioned to or start to transition to the F-35 platform by 2026.

3/ US could have fast tracked the production of F-35 B, but first it takes time, and also they have problems to deal with & need to train their pilot first (even if with current simulator it goes quite fast)

but for Ukraine to get them would take too long & zero maintainers

1/ Mid day - Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on February 08, 2023
#Russian spent the last day & night moving forward in dozen of different areas to close the pocket, but yet contained, but to be frank the dynamic is not good for UKR now.
#UkraineMap
2/ To make it obvious for some of you i have highlighted the general movement Ru is trying to achieve there and in green the last true road that be taken for resupply and med evacs. because the 2 other ones are not really used right now.. (still some)
3/ so it's quite difficult to assess the exact limits of the attacks, the magnitude of it, & exactly what happened, but as i called it yesterday some groups were trying to "hide" within major attacks & reach some villages in the "back" of UKR defense.
not sure if all the targets

1/ Russians are preparing a huge offensive in order to reach the limits of #Luhansk region as they were asked few weeks ago. Several reports and contact seems now to confirms major input of fresh troops all along the #Svatove #Kreminna axis (plus back up in #Starobilsk area.
2/ it's not easy of course to have precise numbers but we can talk from 10k to 15k on top of actual RU troops. Also thousands more as reserve and some support.
Indications from Regional mil command about large amount of armored vehicles also being send to "waiting zone".
3/ Exactly like Ru probed the Zaporijia area week ago, the current attack and RU SOF actions to sneak into the UKR lines were certainly only to "update" actual Ukr def positions / way to react / available materials / com / reaction times etc etc.
so very soon now, major attack.

Little "side track" this morning as there is a major catastrophe in #Turkey #TurkeyEarthquake
SÉISME EN #Turquie - Scène de désolations à #Kahramanmaraş en #Turquie où mult immeubles se sont effondrés, tuant un nb record de personnes. #seisme
2/ Apparently #Gaziantep in #Turkey is also partly destroyed

A destructive Magnitude up to 7.8 earthquake just struck southern Turkey near Gaziantep that has caused extensive destructions
3/ le fameux chateau (reconstruit) de #Gazantiep aurait vraiment subit des dommages considérables
j'aimerais bien insérer une petite remarque sur l'orgueil & le Karma etc.. mais bon, je vais me retenir qq jours surtout si ce drame à fait pas mal de victimes...

1/ i'm not going to do the week end recap today - maybe update tomorrow as the situation remains almost the same (out of few couple meters here & there)
just want to let you know that for the last 24h there are 2 majors areas where RU & Ukr are confronting really hard (purple)
2/ one is the part above (for the hill - highground) above #Blahodatne (reminder read 8/9/ here below) :
3/ and also the South West of #Bakhmut, were Ukrainians are really doing a number there as they have decided not to let the Ru stay there as they were so closed to totally control the area. really hard battles there..
and Ru absolutely need the area to go on with their plan...
