Maxar collected a trove of new high-resolution satellite imagery showing the damage to Russian ammunition depots in western southern Russia. 📷@Maxar

Thread with much imagery.

Starting off with the before / after shots of the ammo storage buildings at the Oktyabrski depot.

At one location in the Toropets depot, a large crater nearly 82-meters wide is visible where there used to be a storage building and bunker. Additionally, train rail cars that were likely used to transport ammunition to the depots were damaged or destroyed at each location.

Ukraine's counterattack in Kupyansk is interesting for many reasons, including surfacing apparent problems and analytical challenges with assessing control of terrain in open-source war maps.

It inspired me to make the following meme and a short thread.🧵 Image
Mapmakers now face a challenge when making maps based off geolocations. The methodology that many cartographers have is that a geolocated ground presence means control.

The problem is that the Russians caught on and began metagaming this methodology.
It’s well established that Russian forces use 2- or 3-man infiltration teams to push far beyond the Russian frontline into Ukrainian held territory. Their mission is to wait for more forces to consolidate a strong point that can be used to continue pushing forward. Infiltrators also sometimes wave a flag ostentatiously at a designated landmark in order to claim that Russian forces control a particular area. Russian forces did exactly this in Kupyansk, resulted with many maps showing that Russian forces exercised the same level of control in Kupyansk as they do in Mariupol.

The Russian geolocated presence in both locations is qualitatively different, of course. But many maps don't make that distinction and show both locations under the same shade of red.Image

Ukrainian forces have resumed offensive operations in Kursk and are confirmed to have made tactical advances within at least 300 meters of Berdin.

Quick thread on tracking tactical Ukrainian advances: Image
Fresh snowfall makes identifying tracks easier. Russian sources posted video on January 5 showing how Ukrainian mechanized vehicles are making distinctive dark marks on snowy white backdrops as they push forward across fields: t.me/RVvoenkor/83914
These vehicle tracks are visible from space. Satellite imagery collected on January 5 shows distinctive vehicle tracks in the snow on the way from Ukrainian forces’ previous positions near Cherkasskoe Porechnoe heading in the direction of Berdin. Image

New interactive map tool🌎

We created a tool to illustrate the extent to which US restrictions on Ukraine’s use of ATACMS constrain Ukraine’s ability to strike important military infrastructure in Russia.

Link to tool: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/8b060c…

We made this tool to help visualize the extent to which US policy is protecting a vast number of objects in Russia's rear and how many legacy installations and known military landuse protected by US policy is supporting Russia's war effort.
225 unique military and paramilitary objects are available here for exploration.

Clicking on pins on the map allows the user to lean more details about that object. Image

Putin's Safe Space: Defeating Russia’s Kharkiv Operation Requires Eliminating Russia’s Sanctuary

Current US policy prohibiting Ukraine from using US-provided weapons in the territory of the Russian Federation is severely compromising Ukraine's ability to defend itself.
Whatever the merits of this US policy before the Russian assault on Kharkiv Oblast began, it should be modified immediately to reflect the urgent realities of the current situation.
Defeating Russia’s operation in Kharkiv Oblast requires defeating Russia’s glide bomb threat. Russian forces are using glide bombs launched from Russian airspace to enable Russian ground maneuver in Kharkiv Oblast.

In our newest special edition for @TheStudyofWar, our team assesses that Ukraine's defensive and counteroffensive operations in the Bakhmut area since summer 2022 are an operationally sound undertaking.
Ukraine's sustained operations in Bakhmut have fixed a large amount of Russian combat power that would otherwise have been available to reinforce Russian defenses in southern Ukraine.
Image
Image
This significant Ukrainian achievement has helped prevent Russia from creating a large mobile VDV operational reserve that could have been used to stop the main Ukrainian counteroffensive effort in Zaporizhia Oblast.
