i have been monitoring the EW units in Kursk oblast and mainly the border region with extreme interest the last 6-9 months, drone defense exsisted of a number of Pole-21 gnss jamming stations placed strategically in border towns, complemented with Zithel-R331 mobile jamming Image Units, which would not only jam but also record used frequencies by Ukrainian forces in these area's. These pole-21 systems would be mainly placed in cellphone or other comms masts, spaced about 5 km. apart. Thus creating a sort of overlapping wall of jamming. Image

1/3 Recently large numbers of tanks in the Pervomaiske area have been destroyed, also video's came out showing large numbers of assault forces (So-called SHO units) who surrender to 🇺🇦 forces.Another indication something was up in this area, the increased nr. of 🇺🇦 drone attacks Image 2/3 This could indicate part of the 🇷🇺 defensive lines around this part of the front might be weaker around Pervomais'ke then other parts, most likely also because units from this part were moved to support the 3rd army on the south flank of Bakhmut.

1/3 Reliable sources on the ground near Soledar are reporting 🇷🇺 sapper units possible from 107th Seperate Guards Engineer-Sapper battalion, are activly mining roads leading out of Soledar. Several crossroads and fields have been mined with 100's of AT-62M mines. Image 2/3 This in it self can mean different things, either Russian & Wagner forces are preparing a retreat to more favourable defensive positions outside Soledar, or Russian forces are setting up obstacles to prevent the retreat of the Wagner forces stationed in Soledar.

1/6 Elements of the 10th Tank regiment part of the newly formed 3rd 🇷🇺 army corps, arrived around 13th of may in the area of the town of Odradivka (48.494300,38.014800). They had previously been deployed near Avdiivka, were they were involved a multiple failed frontal assaults Image 2/6 In which they suffered serious losses including most of their tanks and IFV's. They had been regrouping near the town of Lysychansk and seems to have been re-plenished with new mobik recruits from all over Russia but mostly recruits from Buryatia. ImageImage

1/15 I have been working on unraveling the 🇷🇺 logistics networks in the Luhansk area since the beginning of jan. When different geolocated videos showed convoy's of armoured vehicles moving towards the frontlines in Luhansk & Donetsk

2/15 These convoy's peaked my interest, and since the 🇷🇺 logistics machine heavily relies on railway, the most obvious place to start is at the railway hubs it still can use in Luhansk. There are only a handfull which suits the need of the 🇷🇺 forces & are outside of HIMARS reach

Serveral 🇺🇦 sources report 🇷🇺 offensive actions NW of Svatove, Luhansk in the area of the town of Miasozharivka. This would line up with rumors about the 31st vdv being in the area since mid jan. Also would explain the heavy activity on the newest logistical route being used since beginning of jan. From Rovenki and Rossosj along the highway to Novopskov and on to staroblisk & Svatove. Presumable elements of the 31st & 76th Airborne disivion have been spotted in the area around Svatove since 2 weeks and are leading the attack.

1/11 thread on the changed logistics of the 🇷🇺 forces in S-Kherson after the retreat. unloading/storing of ammo within HIMARS range was prohibited by Surovikin. causing them to abbandon HUB's like Myrne (hit nov. 11th) & Chaplynka (heli base & c2 centre) animation by @bradyafr twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image 2/11 This so-called 100 km rule made them look for alternatives, because of their dependance on railtransport their options in S-Kherson were limited to towns along the Crimea-Melitopol railway lines, which enters Ukraine at Chonhar.Along this line only 4 towns had the facilities ImageImage

Small 🧵 about the attack probably by a suicide drone @ engels AFB, near Saratov, Russia. Facts we know are an attack on the AFB happend at 12-05 @ 06.00, which is exactly the right time to strike such a target, between 6 & 7 in the morning, AD crews would normally be changing Shifts around this time, which would definitly means a well planned operation, distance to the target assuming it was launched somewhere in the Kharkiv region would be +- 700KM. Indications are a TU-141 drone might have been used which would mean a flight time of approx. 1 hour.

1/11 With the fighting intensified over the last month in Bakhmut & Wagner & Mobniks pushing forward with a heavy toll, there is a 2nd thing going on in this area. 🇷🇺 forces have been constructing a large line of defenses along the Donetsk/Luhansk border.

2/11 The brunt of these defensive structures seem to be build around the T0504 Hwy between Popasna & Bakhmut.These defense resemble alot the defenses created in Kherson and seem to consist of a large AT-wall, minefield, dragonteeth obstacles and trenches.

1/11 As some of my followers know we have been tracking the traffic @ the town of Myrne in south Kherson for quite some time, ever since we discovered the 🇷🇺 forces had been using it as their main supply hub since September. After their previous hub in Brylivka was destroyed 2/11 🇷🇺 forces were using different area's around town to store and distribute ammo & other supply's to forces on the Kherson front, also this was the main supply hub for Chaplynka airbase,(main forward helicopter base) & Kairka(main vehicle repair base)

🧵 1/10 From early on in the war Skadovs'k has been a hotspot for 🇷🇺 officials. For example on 19th of may, this was the spot of an organised tour for western chronies to show how wonderfull live was in the occupied territories. ⬇️

sprotyv.info/analitica/pres… 2/10 The local governement working for the occupier is located at Alexandrovskaya str. near the local police station. An extensive publication about the collaborators active in Skadosv'k was done by partizans on 13-06-2022 ⬇️

🇷🇺 forces on the spit have retreated to a newly created defensive line in the bottleneck of the peninsula half way between Herois'ke & Rybal'che. The defensive line stretches all the way across (4 km) and consists of trenches and vehicle reventments. ImageImage The terrain there is very rough(marshlands) and it would be extremly hard for 🇷🇺 forces to advance and push the 🇺🇦 forces out once they settled there, the only road is under fire control from 🇺🇦 artillery based in the Stanislav & Shyroka Balka area. 🇷🇺 defensive positions here Image

1/12 Since the announced withdrawal of 🇷🇺forces, it is time to have an in-depth look into how they want to get their troops & equipment across the river.During the past months have setup an elaborate system of ferry's crossing the Dnipro river. At least 8 ferry's have been active 2/12 These ferry's and multiple barges have been operating continuesly, first there objective was to supply troops on the west-side of the river, since last week that changed, we have seen columns of vehicles move the other direction.

Serveral media have been reporting about a base or unit launching Shahed-136 drones at Ukraine being destroyed in the town of Herois'ke.I believe this to be partly true.I do believe a drone unit, connected to the 🇷🇺 forces was operating from this area
⁷ This unit which i believe was connected to the VDV has been operating from this area since mid July. In a 🧵 i wrote on 2 aug. i tried to determine, where Lancet-3 strikes which were picking up at that time most likely originated from.

On 7 september info was released by UA forces, they hit an area, were 🇷🇺 forces were trying to setup an alternative crossing of the Dnipro river, apperantly they hit it while barges loaded with equipment where about to set sail.

Supposedly on board, a contingent of a specialized unit with serveral Lancet-3 drones and a control vehicle.(un-confirmed). We managed to locate the site to [46.539600,32.520224]. As you can see in the animation ⬇️ 2 barges and a small warehouse were destroyed there.

1/12 Update 🧵 about the suspected drone launch site in Mayak, Crimea.Two weeks ago i published an article about Mayak radar station in which research & sat. images showed Mayak radar station in Crimea was the most likely source of drone attacks on Odessa

2/12 in this 🧵 further evidence was found to support the claim of this being the launch point of the Shahed-136 drones, further information (#OSINT & #HUMINT) revealed that Iranian instructors/operators are also present at Dzankoj airport (read 🧵 ⬇️)

A little 🧵Based on reports from partisans and WEBINT and other #OSINT, we have put together a list of locations where Iranians have reportedly been spotted recently. Most of these sightings take place in Crimea, although also Belarus seems to be a hotspot Russia is using the Ukrainian peninsula to launch Iranian-made kamikaze drones on civilian infrastructure in the southern part of Ukraine, main targets seem to be civilian targets such as the powergrid and municipal services.

Little 🧵 on the visits of Mr. #HIMARS to the town of #Beryslav ,Kherson oblast. The 🇺🇦 forces have been prepping the battlefield in the Kherson region for almost two months now. Destroying not only supply warehouses, but also C&C facilities around the clock. Starting off 29th of august when three targets the city admin, police complex & supply warehouse where hit simultaniously, resulting in the complete destruction of these. The police complex [Geolocation 46.83848, 33.42661] consisted of 3 buildings that were destroyed by a volley of missiles.
