🇺🇦Ukrainian soldiers successfully landed and established a position on the left bank of the Dnipro river.
Part of the village Krynky was liberated from the Russians and right now the bridgehead is being expanded
This thread is about how it was👇
1/X
Let's start with the fact that units of the 137th Marine Battalion carried out offensive actions in this area
Since October 11, the Ukrainian soldiers are on the Left Bank of the Dnipro.
On October 14, a massive attack on Russian positions began. I want to note that it was a very unexpected surprise for the Russians.

At 6:00 a.m., soldiers started assault on the village Krynky, the Russians did not expect this and paid for it, 4 invaders who were having breakfast were killed immediately.
The rest of Russians ~25 ran into the forest near village.
3/X
They were later sent by the Russian command together with “special assaulters” to retake the village back but it was not successful and those assault group were destroyed
During this assault TWO Russian soldiers surrendered without firing any single shot

The 1st of the prisoners is a 60-year-old resident of Smolensk region who was in prison 40 years ago and went to Ukraine to earn money.
The 2nd is a 39-year-old
They are mobilized by the Putin’s regime
Thanks to them, the AFU found out very interesting things.
5/X
These were Russian soldiers of the 26th Motorized Rifle Regiment who were sent to "defend the Dnieper" from Ukrainian soldiers
As you can see they failed)))
GLORY TO UKRAINE – GLORY TO HEROES!

Also interesting details from prisoners:
«They have been "defending the Dniepr“ since August of this year, for which they were promised 200,000 rubles, that were paid only once.
There is no morale, if there was an opportunity they would all surrender, but their propaganda scares them by the fact that they will be tortured and killed in captivity.»
❗️I will repeat that the Armed Forces of Ukraine act in accordance with the Geneva Convention and do not torture prisoners

In the first 2 days, the enemy's artillery did not work so actively, but later they started shelling from everything possible: FABs, mortars, artillery, MLRS «Grad», «Uragan», FPV drones, also Russian tanks and BMPs worked.
During the tank shelling, soldiers managed to damage the tank
8/X
Despite the active combat actions, at least 2 people lived in the village, it was an old man and a woman, they were evacuated
Right now, most of the buildings in this village have been destroyed as a result of artillery and aerial bombs strikes.
9/X
Defending positions by Ukrainian Marines
I want to note about the 3 biggest problems faced by the soldiers:
1. It is very difficult with the evacuation, it can be carried out only at night, since during the day the Russian FPV kamikaze drones were very active
2. This is Russian artillery, aviation, tanks and BMP, they simply methodically destroy all the houses
3. Cowardice of some units that refused to go into battle.
10/X
Unfortunately during offensive there are dead and wounded Ukrainian soldiers but I want to assure you that there are not many as could be
11/X
Approximately 50 Russian invaders were killed
12/X
Summarizing the result:
1. Ukraine has created another bridgehead for a full-scale offensive in the Kherson region
2. As a result of the assault, up to a company (~50) of Russians was killed
3. TWO Russians surrendered and told a lot of interesting things

4 days ago I was first who hinted at a new offensive operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
And yes, it was about Kherson landing)
First I want to start that it was surprise for Russians and they weren’t prepared well for such bold attack. Maybe somehow I will share the intercepted chat between them))
2/X
The offensive began at ~4 in the morning by the parts of 35th and 36th Marine Infantry Brigade, which after the battles in the Donetsk region were taken to recovery
Before the attack, Ukrainian artillery actively destroyed Russian artillery, air defense systems, radars, and Russian positions near the coast

Right now Ukrainian soldiers are attacking Russian positions also AFU continues to destroy Russian Artillery systems and electronic warfare systems together with Murom-M a complex for round-the-clock autonomous video and thermal imaging surveillance with FPV kamikaze drones
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE of yesterday's ATTACK ON THE HEADQUARTERS of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russia Federation ???
‼️Firstly, it should now be called a successful operation of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine and the Air Forces under the name «CRAB TRAP»
🧵THREAD👇
⚡️In addition to the huge reputational blow for Russia, Russia lost an important system that united coastal operational modular points “83t170e”.
‼️We can say that now Russian fleet will have big problems with data acquisition and processing systems, and past attack on the reserve headquarters makes it impossible to quickly restore this system.
⚡️Well, in addition, many officers of the fleet were wounded and killed, in particular, its commander is now in a serious condition in the hospital, and his deputy is unconscious.
We can state that the Black Sea Fleet will temporarily, and in the near future, cease to function at all.
In connection with the latest active attacks by Ukraine on the military targets of the Russian Federation at a considerable distance from Ukraine
My article is presented to your attention about the possible means of destruction that Ukraine currently has or is developing
2/7 🔺Kamikaze drone «Bober» 🦫
🔥We all watched with pleasure the night explosions and the work of air defense in several regions of the Russian Federation due to a mass attack by unknown UAVs, presumably of Ukrainian production
✈️So far, the only officially demonstrated long-range kamikaze strike drone (up to 1,000 km) is the "Beaver" UAV, developed at the behest of the SBU.
3/7 If you briefly run through the characteristics, they are as follows:
Length: 2-2.5m
Wingspan: 3 meters;
Mass: 150 kg;
Warhead: 20 kg;
Speed: 100-120 km/h
The aerodynamic structure of the "duck" type with the front aerodynamic wing is also interesting, which helps to perform complex maneuvers and improves the controllability of the drone.
The drone is able to change the height and direction of movement to avoid air defense zones and is a relatively cheap product. According to estimates, it costs up to $100,000.

🤔 There was news about the 🇺🇸USА considering the transfer of the «THAAD» system to 🇺🇦Ukraine. In this article, we will try to figure out what kind of system it is and how it will be useful for 🇺🇦Ukraine.

🚀Now about the system itself. Its composition is relatively banal: a control point, launchers and radar (AN/TPY-2), which we will talk about a little later. As mentioned above, the system works according to the principle of kinetic interception, that is, a direct hit on the… https://t.co/uAMSZq54z5twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
💵The price of the entire complex is called different, but according to approximate estimates, one battery of the complex costs $3 billion. The price of the missiles is also unknown, but for 22 missiles, the 🇺🇸USA paid more than 1 billion dollars.
