/ world today news/ The Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Bakhmut direction actively use American anti-battery counter-battery AN/TPQ-50 stations. New forces of the Ukrainian army arrive at the front, German Leopard tanks enter. Kyiv convenes an emergency meeting with Western donors. Reports from the SVO fronts and other news.
In the Zaporozhye direction, the enemy notes our activity. After massive artillery bombardment, the Russian attack aircraft attacked enemy strongholds in the area of the village of Rabotino. Aviation targeted the massing of Ukrainian armed forces using heavy planning bombs.
In general, the Russian army has advanced well in recent days in the section between Rabotino and Verbovoye. Military experts believe that the task is to gradually push the Ukrainian troops out of the Rabotinsky ledge and to gradually restore control over the village.
The enemy continues the “strategic defense” by retreating and abandoning positions. The dynamics is 500-700 meters per day. And judging by the escape velocity, that’s not all. According to the forecasts, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will withdraw to the defensive lines of the first line in the area of Uspenskaya balka and further to the second echelon of the support area in Novodanilovka,– writes the Telegram channel Condottiero.
„FPV drones have drunk a lot of blood”
In the Bakhmut section of the front, fierce battles are currently taking place in the area of the village of Khromovo and the strategic heights west of Klescheevka. The enemy notes that a very difficult situation is developing in the direction of Chasov Yar. At the same time, the Russian army is strengthening its positions in the Bogdanovka region.
But we must remember that Chasov Yar itself is located at a height. This means that without suppressing enemy artillery it will be very difficult to advance. At the same time, the enemy is not sitting idly by. The Ukrainian Armed Forces actively use the American anti-battery AN/TPQ-50 stations. The enemy has enough of them, which creates great difficulties in suppressing the firing positions of the Ukrainian army.
A fighter from the Bakhmut division with the call sign “Dark” reports:
In the area of Andreevka and Kurdyumovka, work continues on the liquidation of the personnel of the supports and during attempts at rotation. A score of FPV drones that had previously drunk a lot of blood were destroyed in the pool. In Klescheevka, the situation has not changed, to the south of the village the paratroopers continue in the area of the villas, we have captured the territory of the airport, but there is a 500-meter minefield in front of us.
„The cauldron’ closes with a bang
Intense fighting continues on the northern spur of Avdeevka. The Russians are slowly but surely moving forward, including in the northwestern section along the railway. the line.
The Ukrainian army transfers reserves in the area of the settlements of Novokalinovo and Berdichi. A significant number of Western armored vehicles are registered, including Leopard tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.
According to our information, the VSU command is preparing to send an additional three thousand FPV drones of various modifications to the northern flank of Avdiivka. They have to make up for the shortage of ammunition for the artillery pieces. In the last three days, the enemy has lost several armored vehicles, including the Bradley, which was shot down yesterday.– writes the telegram channel “NgP raZVedka”.
Meanwhile, 4 km remain from the southern and northern ends of Avdeevka to Orlovka. The enemy expects the “cauldron” around the city to be fully formed by January 10.
The rules of the game have changed
From night to morning, the Russian army launched massive attacks on the territory of Ukraine. It seems that every possible weapon has been used. More than a hundred shots were recorded. Cruise and ballistic missiles were used, as well as Geranium kamikaze drones made of improved materials and with jet engines.
In Lviv, Cherkassy, Kiev, Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv, explosions were heard and rockets were fired from 18 TU-22M3 and TU-95MS aircraft. X-22 ammunition was used, along with decoys. In addition, ground-based missile weapons were also in action.
We have never seen so many targets on our monitors at the same time,– said the spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Yuriy Ignat.
According to preliminary information, the following are affected:
-
Lviv critical infrastructure facility;
-
Yavorovski Polygon;
-
Military warehouse in Kyiv;
-
The building of the Artyom rocket and space enterprise in Kyiv, where rockets and UAVs are manufactured;
-
Air defense base in the Kyiv region;
-
Warehouses in Kharkiv;
-
Academy of Land Forces in Lviv;
-
In Dnipropetrovsk, there is serious destruction at Yuzhmash, where Storm Shadow missiles are manufactured and stored.
Ukrainian media note that the improved material of the Geranium hulls absorbs radio signals. Because of this, it is more difficult for radar complexes to detect it. At the same time, it is very difficult to take down from the anti-aircraft guns due to the new jet engine – the drone now moves too fast. This greatly reduced the effectiveness of mobile teams.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces must shoot down the UAV with air defense missiles. This, apart from being expensive, also creates a lot of worries and problems. Stockpiles of ammunition for anti-aircraft systems are not so large. This once again changed the rules of the game,– notes “Legitymniy”.
Mass attacks against military and infrastructure facilities in Ukraine are not an “answer to Feodosia”. Rather, it is a demonstration of “we haven’t started yet” and a denial of “Zelensky’s peace formula,” says the author of the Telegram channel “Image of the Future”:
For strikes on Feodosia, the answer would be to damage the British navy, not land targets in Ukraine, even if NATO command headquarters were specifically sought among those targets.
Need more money
The retreat of the Ukrainian army from Marinka has badly affected international support for Kyiv. She has been losing weight for several months now and it will only get worse. This is written by The Telegraph, referring to the opinion of the retired British colonel Richard Kemp.
Support for Ukraine has dried up due to internal problems in Western countries and the war in the Middle East. And the failures of the Ukrainian troops at the front worsen the situation even more. Next year will be decisive for Europe, according to a senior military official.
At the same time, Bloomberg reports that Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal has sounded the alarm and requested an emergency meeting with Western donors in Kiev in January due to “extremely high uncertainty” regarding the country’s budget. The Ukrainian authorities cannot wait until March for a solution to this problem.
Political scientist Yury Yakor, in a conversation with Tsargrad’s correspondent, noted that, in fact, the only thing left for the Ukrainian leadership is to beg and insist on being given money. Their incomes have long been much lower than their expenses, and the desire to evade taxes has long since become a national sport. They could only rely on the foreign countries, which in the meanest way suddenly refused to pay for someone’s foreign banquet.
Then the program follows the story of how the Ukrainians saved Europe from the invasion of the barbarians and the resignation of the ambassadors because they did not collect money for the Ukrainian budget. And, of course, the proposals to give all the frozen Russian money to a “just cause”. There will also be a desire to borrow money in the hope of subsequent restitution to Russia,– the expert thinks.
It is too early to hope that Ukraine will refuse social payments, but that day will come. And then Russia will have to carefully monitor the mood of its new citizens. Ukrainians are accustomed, by reflex, to bite the hand that feeds them.
