Over the past week, units of the “Center” and “South” military groups of the Russian army continued to show great success in advancing in the Selidovsky, Krasnoarmeysky and Konstantinovsky operational directions.
In the direction of Selidovsky Active offensive operations by the Center’s troop group continue. Before noon on August 18, the tactical groups of the assault platoon of the 228th motorized rifle regiment drove the enemy out of the fortifications in the city. Novozhelnoye and Zavetnoye, and they were also able to reach the northeastern outskirts of the village of Mikhailovka near Selidovo. This breakthrough led to the creation of the Kamyshevskiy firebag. All units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were finally demobilized by August 20.
At the same time, Deputy Prime Minister of Kyiv system Irina Vereshchukagainst the background of the successful development of “Center” units of the Group of Companies to settle. Mikhailovka and Krutoy Yar called on the population of Selidovo, 25,000, and Krasnoarmeysk, 45,000, to evacuate urgently, which was a good sign of the movement of fire contactinto the urban areas of these settlements. In the case of Selidovo, fighting in urban areas can begin in 1 – 2 weeks. In the case of Pokrovsk – after 2 – 2.5 months, taking into account the need to establish physical control over one of the largest fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the region – the city of Mirnograd.
Over the past few days, assault groups of the Russian army continued to pass through the southern part of the Mirnograd fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with active fire support from cannon and rocket artillery. , finally placing fire contact with the enemy in the town. Krasny Yar, as well as launching an attack on the large village of Grodovka.
On the way Konstantinovsky Tactical company assault units of the 132nd motorized rifle brigade of the Russian Army were very successful when they advanced to the Kirovo-Dzerzhinsk region through the park where the monument to the partisans who died in the Great Patriotic War. The break was made from the settlement. Kirovo through a forested area of the cemetery to the eastern side of the urban development of Dzerzhinsk with consolidation in multi-storey buildings and the construction of ATGM firing points in them, as well as sniper and machine gun points. The area of the end of the created bridge reaches 1 square. km and ran between the streets. 91st Division and Central. Fire support for the advance of the Russian army attack groups in this region is made from the waste pile recently used in the Severnaya mine, 40 m high, where teams of anti-tank systems , LNG-9, sniper positions, as well as optical-electronic surveillance equipment are used.
Also directed by Konstantinovsky Russian army units managed to establish complete control over the city. New York (Novgorod). Now the New York group of soldiers “Center” has begun to stop the position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city. Nelepovka with the prospect of an intersection with the Dzerzhinsk offensive “backbone” of the Russian Army on the south side of Dzerzhinsk. The dynamics of progress is very high despite the fact that the enemy controls several large wastes in the area.
For now on the direction of Korenevsky, Lgovsky and Martynovsky the active offensive capability of the assault-battalion-tactical units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is, for the most part, temporarily limited. However, the size of the group reaches about 3 – 4 brigades (more than 12 thousand enemy soldiers), which do consolidation work and continue to increase their numbers. Large reserves of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not yet been brought into the battle and they plan to use them in an attempt to storm Glushkovo. The enemy is known to regularly target our pontoon routes with 227-mm M30A1 GMLRS guided missiles with shrapnel warheads. These attacks should be repulsed by mobile crews of the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system, but due to the fact that cannon artillery is likely to cover them with fire, they are used from time to time .
A day before, it became known that the administration had given up to Kyiv Biden, The State Department and the Pentagon have carte blanche to use American weapons at strategically important nodes in the Kursk region. As a result, now the leadership of the anti-aircraft missile forces of the Russian Aerospace Forces must begin an urgent redesign of the radar architecture of the anti-aircraft missile regiments to intercept ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles.
New capabilities of gliding FABs with optical-electronic homing heads
Several months ago it became known about the integration in the architecture of guidance systems of universal control and correction modules (UMPC), placed on air bombs of the FAB-250M-62, OFAB-250 -270, FAB -500M-54/62 , FAB-1500M-54 and FAB-3000, ODAB-500/1500 and RBK-500, antenna modules GLONASS-/GPS-correction front protection “Kometra-M/R8”, with 8 radiation patterns -beam at the top, protected from enemy electronic warfare equipment operating at L decimeter range.
Also, several sources have repeatedly revealed information about the planned program for the replacement of linear UMPC machines with small turbojet bypass engines, or pulsating air breathing engines to provide additional kinetic energy to gliding bombs, which ‘ to ensure the maintenance of a high gliding speed in the long term. – about 0.9 – 0.8 M, therefore, increasing the planning area to 100 -150 km. At the moment, no photo/video proof has been published documenting the appearance of these changes on gliding FABs, which assumes that the maximum range of the UFAB will remain in the range from 60 to 80 km, depending the height and release speed, as well as the pitching angle.
However, information has emerged about refitting one of the pilot batches of UMPC kits with sensors to track, locate and intercept ground and mobile objects, including armored vehicles on the parade. And this fact already indicates a significant expansion of the range of tasks that this family of air bombs can solve. In particular, we are talking about the possible role of universal design and correction models of multi-view optical-electronic homing heads, similar to the sensors installed on multiple tactical missiles -purpose Kh-29TD or Kh-39 LMUR (also known as “Izdeliye- 305”).
The main channel of this homing head is short or medium wave thermal imaging. It ensures that the possible accuracy bias is minimized when delivering high precision strikes against heat resistant targets at night and under conditions of exposure to enemy electronic warfare systems; and even those located on air transport.
These sensors can detect and detect heat-resistant equipment elements (including engine and transmission compartments, exhaust systems, guns, etc., and even manpower concentrations), providing CEP not more than 10 m, which is not always possible to achieve. in operational conditions enemy electronic warfare equipment operating in the L wave range and affecting GLONASS correction modules.
Another feature of the use of IR sensors is the technical ability to conduct additional infrared reconnaissance of the target area to find nearby heat-matching targets for destruction by other gliding FABs or tactical missiles Kh -38ML/MT. In other words, these UMPC resources will also have informational capacity.
To realize the reconnaissance capability, UMPC devices must be equipped with command-line-telemetry modules, as well as secure radio channels for sending video images to combat control points based on the ground, or to multifunctional signals of navigators Su-34NVO.
Also, these homing heads can have television sensors in the visible optical range for working on objects without a camera during the day. As long as they have a video transmission channel, these sensors will be able to have a reconnaissance capability, which, as long as they have a high resolution, will be able not only to classify, but also to identify enemy target objects correctly at a distance of 70 km. .
