The enemy, with forces of up to three BTGs, tried to develop an offensive in the direction of Novaya Kamenka - Berislav

The enemy went on the offensive in the area of ​​Nova Kakhovka, at the moment it is reported that up to 3 battalion tactical groups are moving in the direction of Novaya Kamenka - Berislav. Works Ukrainian artillery. It is still impossible to say whether this is the beginning of the offensive, or reconnaissance in force. A variant is also possible with distraction of attention from the direction of the main blow.

According to unofficial information that has appeared, and there is no official one from the Ministry of Defense, up to two infantry battalions from the 128th mountain assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of the tank battalion of the 17th brigade, went on the offensive in the direction of Novaya Kamenka - Berislav. Before the offensive, Ukrainian artillery worked very actively against our positions.

A large number of Ukrainian aircraft are reported in the air. drones, even one reconnaissance-strike Bayraktar TB2 was seen, but it spins in the distance, not risking approaching the positions of Russian troops and falling into the zone of action of anti-aircraft systems.

The information is confirmed from the forward positions, it is reported that a large number of infantry went on the attack with the support of tanks in the area of ​​n.p. Pyatikhatki and Sukhanovo. The enemy already has losses, several tanks have been destroyed. Our artillery is on the move. The details of the battles will be later, if not from the Ministry of Defense, then the analysis will be carried out by experts.

In the meantime, the opinion is being expressed that the battles that have begun are not a full-fledged offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reconnaissance in force is being carried out, the enemy is trying to pull apart our troops, to wear them out before the start of large-scale battles. As you know, now we still have problems with the number of personnel, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a numerical advantage, which they are trying to take advantage of.

As previously reported, the most likely date for the start of the offensive on Kherson is the next week, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also needs to tighten up its reserves. At stake is Kherson and praise from the hosts from Washington.

I hope that Kherson will not be turned into a new Stalingrad, although everything is moving towards this for now. The key moments of the Battle of Stalingrad took place not in the city, but in the bare steppe north-west of Stalingrad. There are direct parallels in the battle for Kherson. They fought on the Volga , here on the Dnieper.

The modern historian A. Isaev still writes the same thing: “The 62nd Army, which was on a starvation ration in terms of providing replenishment, ammunition and food, had very modest defensive capabilities. If the Soviet troops surrounding Stalingrad were passive, it would repeat the fate of the Primorsky Army in Sevastopol in June 1942. It is possible to defend with the Volga behind in the ruins of the city against a normally supplied army, whose hands are untied, but not for long. And he is not alone: ​​"The key moments of the Battle of Stalingrad took place not in the city, but in the bare steppe to the north-west of Stalingrad ... it was here that many times more forces were involved in the defense of the land bridge than in the city itself, as with German, so on the Soviet side." The picture is clear, harmonious, logical. One problem is lies.
Soviet forces advanced on the German corridor, broken through to the Volga, many times. The most active battles there were on 3–12, 18–26 September and 20–26 October. Each of these blows was inflicted with considerable force.

[YOUR]

What kind of two millionth army. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation number less than a million people. Of which the Ground Forces 250 thousand. The data is open.

[dmi.pris1]

We look at the statement of the Ministry of Defense on the number of Russian Armed Forces ..

[YOUR]

Link to this statement. With great pleasure I will read or watch and listen. Thank you.

[dmi.pris1]

"President of Russia Vladimir Putin has set the staff strength of the country's Armed Forces at 2 units, of which 39 are military personnel. The corresponding decree has been published on the official Internet portal of legal information. 758 units, including 1 military personnel,” it says. “Will this work? If not, then no help

[Kronos]

Of this million, part is in the fleet, air defense, border guards and the like who cannot take part in battles.

[dmi.pris1]

What department do the border guards go through? I agree about the fleet, aviation, etc. What do the rest of the million do in the army? They provide services, treat, teach. I have nothing about military doctors and teachers. army? Either we have a million, not two hundred thousand fighters, or it will be the way it is.

[wladimirjankov]

border guards are in the FSB. 75 thousand serve in the fleets. Where is our army of millions?

[YOUR]

That is, the number of units is 1 people. The rest are civilian service personnel. Cooks, cleaners, drivers of household vehicles, etc., those people who receive a salary from the Moscow Region, but do not wear a uniform.
I hope you don’t need to tell that this is the number of the RF Armed Forces, which consist of the Ground Forces, the Aerospace Forces, the Navy, the Airborne Forces, the Strategic Missile Forces, special troops (railway troops, pipeline ......) and all this is only 1
How did you do it like this

I did not. Moreover, I think that having so many civilian personnel in the army is not right.

I don’t discuss the number of civilians in the army, but I want to remind you about ..... who became generals without serving a day!

[Sergej1972]

Together with civilian personnel, there are indeed 2 million. There are just over a million military personnel. The SV as a type of the Armed Forces, in my opinion, is 280 thousand. But this is without the Airborne Forces (a separate branch of service) and the ground units and divisions of the Northern Fleet (throughout its entire large territory), the Baltic Fleet in the Kaliningrad Region and the Black Sea Fleet in the Crimea. In our country, not all ground units and subunits are included in the SV as a type of aircraft.

[YOUR]

The Airborne Forces are not included in the SV, the Marine Corps is not part of the SV. But all of them are included in the mentioned figure of 1, as well as the l / s of the Navy, as well as the l / s of the Strategic Missile Forces, etc.

[Sergej1972]

Do I deny it? I wrote specifically about the number of Ground Forces as a species. And about the Airborne Forces, that this is a separate branch of the military, I also wrote. In most countries where there are analogues of our Airborne Forces, they are an integral part of the Ground Forces. For example, in the USA and Germany. I will only emphasize once again that the Northern, Baltic and Black Sea Fleets include ground units and subunits that are neither part of the SV as a branch of the Armed Forces, nor part of the Marine Corps. For example, the 14th Army Corps of the Northern Fleet. There are two motorized rifle brigades and other units and subunits. That is, these are motorized rifles with Arctic specifics. And separately there is the Kirkenes Marine Corps Brigade. What unites them is that they are part of the Coastal Troops of the Northern Fleet. Similarly, the 11th Army Corps of the Coastal Troops of the Baltic Fleet consists of several motorized rifle, artillery, and missile brigades. And in parallel there is a brigade of marines. That is, in fact, the 11th and 14th corps are ground forces that are not part of the Ground Forces. But it's not the Marine Corps. .

[Ratibor_A]

Not soon, there are 40 million of them, be patient, work in this direction is underway ...

A terrible dream over us,
Horrible, ugly dream:
In the blood to toe, we fight with the dead,
Resurrected for a new funeral.

For the eighth month these battles last,
Heroic ardor, betrayal and lies,
The brothel brothel in the house of prayer
In one hand crucifix and knife.

And the whole world, like intoxicated with lies,
All kinds of evil, all the tricks of evil! ..
No, never so daring is the truth of God
Human curse to battle did not call! ..

And this cry of sympathy for the blind,
World cry to frantic struggle,
Debauchery of minds and distortion of the word -
Everything has risen and everything threatens you,

Oh, native land! such a militia
The world has not seen since the original days ...
Great to know about Russia, your meaning!
Take heart, stand, cross, and overcome!

F. I. Tyutchev, 1863

[expert]

Thank you.
If it were possible, I would put a hundred pluses !!!

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

I don’t understand, we have more than 100 fighters at the front + parts of the LDNR + hundreds of helicopters and planes, how do the Armed Forces of Ukraine dare to attack with 000-2 battalions ?!

Not only that, why do they succeed?

Why, when they advance to our positions, our artillery does not grind them into trash? It’s not like shooting at a dug-in enemy, here they are not protected by anything on the march, here the Grad will be effective and mortars, but I’m not even talking about howitzers.

We don't have intelligence?! Or can we hit the target only if it is motionless and with the tenth projectile ?!

Why, when they approach our positions, our helicopters do not shoot at their armored vehicles and conventional vehicles, as in a shooting range? What's stopping you?
The speed of the helicopter is 250 km per hour, that is, in an hour our helicopter pilots can arrive at the enemy's breakthrough area and shoot him.
The ATGM range (6-10 km) allows you to destroy enemy equipment without entering the MANPADS strike zone, moreover, firing from an area controlled by us excludes the capture of pilots in the event of a hard landing of a helicopter.

What is our problem? Someone can explain?

In theory, the Armed Forces of Ukraine should not have any opportunity for an offensive, we have an advantage in aviation, artillery, tanks, MLRS, OTRK, but in fact it’s the other way around, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been on the move for the second month and I don’t think that they have really really huge losses , because the same brigades are constantly heard, they are not taken anywhere for reorganization and replenishment of personnel, obviously they do not lose 1000 people a day, otherwise the Armed Forces of Ukraine would lose 3 brigades every week.

[Vladimir80]

I will assume that there is no indicated number of l / s, there is no indicated weapons in the required quantity, there is no proper intelligence and there is no proper communication - there were reports of an offensive about raisins a week before the surrender of the city, but they could not do anything ... unfortunately, such a reality. ..

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Raisins are a separate story, in my opinion they left it on purpose to justify the need for mobilization.

There, in general, it was heard about 60 cops who defended this city for a week and mobilized from the LDNR. There were no urban battles, nothing, they just left and abandoned a bunch of equipment.

[Sergei V]

Well, they have already written in Western sources for a long time that the biggest problem of the Russian army is the connection and interconnection of different branches of the military. Everyone lives on their own. And so far this problem has not been solved

[Cartalon]

It has not been resolved for more than a hundred years, nothing has changed, every war begins with the fact that we have a bad situation, with communications, intelligence and interaction between military branches.

[Sergej1972]

I think this is partly why Surovikin, after being appointed commander of the NMD, retained the post of Commander-in-Chief of the VKS.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

communication and interconnection of different branches of the armed forces.

But is it really impossible to solve this problem in 9 months?

Is it really impossible to send spotters with communications from the VKS and artillery to the front line, so that in which case they themselves, in the interests of those units to which they are assigned, quickly transmit the correct coordinates and hit the enemy ?!

Is it really impossible to work with artillery and aviation promptly? Well, how many more cities do you need to leave and lose people so that it is like theirs, and not look for some kind of your own way through the ass of some colonel or general?

Is it really impossible to somehow allocate on-duty weapons (artillery, aviation) that would be directly controlled by the battalion commander who is at the front and who right now needs support, and not a general sitting 50-100 km from the front ?!

With our equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in general, they should not stick their heads out of the trenches, but they are advancing along the entire front.

Today there is an evacuation from Kherson, but where will it be from in a month? From Sevastopol?

[fuel oil]

You ask strange questions. And when a SVO (special MILITARY !!! operation) is carried out, it is necessary to destroy the supply routes of manpower and equipment to those against whom it is carried out? Or not? That is the question to which there is no answer for 8 months ... This SVO is for a long time until those who make decisions get bored ... Well, or until we choke on blood.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Well, stop talking nonsense about supply routes !!! Look at the map of Ukraine, everything is in dredges like a notebook in a cage.

The United States in Vietnam could not cut off the supply lines of the Vietnamese army, and you want to cut them in Ukraine.

It is impossible to break the pontoons near the front line, although they are constantly fired upon, they are all like a sieve in holes, but they allow equipment to pass through it, and in the depths of Ukraine it will not be possible to destroy the bridge, which, moreover, is far from alone across the Dnieper and will be easy replaced by a pontoon.

Here the task is nowhere simpler - the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving towards our positions in columns, a couple of helicopters are carrying 24 ATGMs, why don’t they smash them to pieces?

Our artillery has been in position for a long time, tied up and oriented, but cannot hit the enemy column. Why? How so? The whole field around is in funnels, and dill is a twig and is not shy.

Can’t we supply mines in the right quantity too?

I don’t even want to talk about Krasnopol.

And you're talking about bridges across the Dnieper.

[fuel oil]

Dear friend, unfortunately this is not nonsense and my gag, this is reality. I perceive all this, my family has already been touched by a great tragedy, how I can help our volunteers from my salary and pension, who regularly go to the front line. My son-in-law personally collected medicines and equipment.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Dear friend, unfortunately this is not nonsense and my gag, this is reality. They deliver, supply and replenish.

To stop the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from abroad, it is necessary that our troops control the border of Ukraine, as it was in Afghanistan, and even then, this did not help much, but at least the Taliban did not receive tanks and artillery.

An example with Vietnam - having a common border with China, Vietnam received everything from tanks to air defense systems and the United States, with all their might, could not do anything about it with inhuman methods of warfare and not because they did not want to, although they bombed the bridges godlessly.

By blowing up a bridge or several bridges, you will not achieve anything. All this will be duplicated by pontoons, and several.

And the pontoon is a difficult target, it’s just a metal structure, there’s nothing to burn and nothing to explode, it’s not so easy to break it, as practice shows, it continues to perform its function even after a direct hit by a rocket, the video on the network confirms this completely. To break the pontoon, you need to try hard artillery, moreover, large calibers and for a long time. In the rear of the enemy, 400-500 km from the front, this is much more difficult to do.

If, of course, we had extra long-range missiles, then of course we could hit everything in a row, but I think we are limited in them, so we try to use them effectively.

During the Second World War, bridges were destroyed both during our retreat and during the retreat of the enemy, and this did not greatly interfere with the advance of the troops, since pontoon crossings were quickly built, and destroyed paths were repaired.

Even the regular undermining of the railroad by partisans could not prevent the supply of the German army.

Based on all this, I do not share the opinion of people who believe that the destroyed bridge will deprive the Armed Forces of Ukraine of supply.

I myself also spend one-fifth of my monthly income on helping our army through volunteers and I pack a backpack for myself in case of mobilization. But I want to understand what our problem is and why, with an advantage in technology, we are retreating.

[fuel oil]

You see, the technology of war has taken a step forward compared to the Second World War. Of those with whom I had to talk, the main losses are from gouging, inexperience and indifference. by and large, I didn’t bury the paper, etc.) a very accurate blow is delivered there on the square. Polish mines with aluminum fragments silently flying up turn everything that is unprotected into mincemeat ... This is such a SVO. We are essentially extras, conductors in power structures. This business, this is money for the military-industrial complex and the revival of economies. All this has already been in history, nothing new.

[fuel oil]

By the way, about the "rod." After talking with those who returned, they confirm that on the other side they are pumped up with such filth that, with injuries that look incompatible with life, the gentlemen again rise to the attack. A man who went through two Chechen ones said ... I can’t say that chatterbox, rather always a silent one.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Because the range of the Osa air defense system is up to 10 km.

Such a range of destruction is only for a target that flies at high altitude, and does not hide like a helicopter behind the folds of the terrain.

In addition, as soon as the Osa air defense system turns on the radar, the Kh-31P from the Su-35 / Su-30 will immediately fly into it.

In addition, there are various types of UAVs that can both detect air defense systems and destroy them. Now several videos have appeared of how the Lancet UAV destroys the S-300 launcher, the 36D6 radar and attacks the Wasp on the road on the move. All this is clearly in the depths of the enemy's defense, and it is much easier to destroy all this at the line of contact.

And there has been no hatred for a long time, everyone understands perfectly well that the confrontation is not with Ukraine alone, but also with Western countries supporting Ukraine.

This is the trouble - against the enemy's almost 1 million, we have no more than 200 thousand in the theater in total.
ONE to FIVE!
Still !
The mobilization has not been completed, and the mobilized formations / units / subunits will gain combat readiness and combat capability (!) Not earlier than the end of November - the end of December.
We lost TIME for mobilization and combat deployment.
Lost strategically.
This is treason. Treason both in the General Staff and in the towers of the military-political leadership. Seven months of mantras and spells "MOBILIZATION WILL NOT BE!" while the enemy mobilized wave after wave and was saturated with Western weapons to replace those knocked out ... Our troops fought without rotations (at least the forces of the Donbass corps) and replenishments.
And the General Staff and the Supreme High Command, like a broken record, kept repeating "MOBILIZATION WILL NOT BE!" .
Not only that, they didn’t even move their little toe to prepare this mobilization! No lists were prepared, no uniforms, no equipment, no places of deployment, training and combat coordination ... "Partial mobilization" fell out of the blue ... "winter came AS ALWAYS suddenly" ... And no one was held responsible .
And no wonder.
After all, the other day the Supreme High Command dragged on the usual again: "There will be no mobilization !!! 300 thousand were called up and EVERYTHING !!!" ... "No more mobilization" ...
And there is nowhere to receive new waves of mobilization - no places of deployment, no uniforms / equipment, no officers / commanders / instructors for new units / formations ... nor the proper amount of weapons (I'm not talking about machine guns) and military equipment in good / combat-ready condition.
According to the mind, it is necessary to carry out three such (in terms of volume) waves of mobilization in order to ensure a grouping with a total number of 1 million people in the Ukrainian theater of operations.
Nothing less is impossible if we want to conduct successful offensive operations and win. And all this mass of troops must be provided with all the necessary supplies - from underwear and shoes to tanks, self-propelled guns, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, military air defense, means of secure communications, reconnaissance, surveillance, target designation ... to ensure life in front-line conditions, all types of supplies. ..
And all this should not become a bunch of "confused mobs", but a well-trained, well-coordinated and equipped military force capable of breaking any enemy defense (not only the Armed Forces of Ukraine).
How much do you think all this takes time, effort and money?
And who should and is able to do all this?
... If before that, in PEACEFUL and fat years, all these geniuses of headquarters thought and rear organization ... everything about ....... "loved" for their own benefit ?? If the Defense Ministry is still headed by the "best in the world" minister without a military education who did not serve in the Army? And out of EIGHT of his deputies, only TWO have a military education and served in the Army?
And if the Supreme High Command suits all this, then ... why would one expect from him ... something more? And so it is - EVERYTHING IS SUITABLE!!
"There will be NO mobilization!" .

Why?

Are they suicidal or is everything so disgusting with our command and control that the company commander on whom the battalion is rushing cannot call for any support from either artillery or aviation?

Not anymore . Now the quality of management is changing for the better.
But they (traitors) are by no means suicidal. On the contrary, they VERY love life and zealously protect their "precious" skins. And as one honest person said quite recently: "The worst thing that happened was that not a single general responsible for the failures and defeats, the death of our servicemen and civilians at the hands of the Nazis ... shot himself. "Our" generals stopped shooting from shame " .
Surovikin did a good job - he took responsibility and took over all the management, he acts competently. But he has to rake the Augean stables of someone else's betrayal, sabotage and sabotage.

What would you like? Our army, so to speak, is flesh and blood. And the commanders in the Army are civil servants. Only not civilians or such as the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Internal Affairs (I don’t remember what this type of civil servants are now called), but military civil servants. And why should military civil servants be an order of magnitude more competent, more responsible, more decent, more personally courageous, and so on, than their counterparts from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs or from civilian structures of the executive power?
Have you seen many officials in the Government who have a full range of such qualities as competence, honesty, conscientiousness, decency, and at the same time personally brave? And at the regional level? What about at the municipal level?
No, I believe that there are such in the state civil service, as well as in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and so on. It's just that I personally was not lucky to meet them. Most often, I came across officials who had only a separate set of positive qualities. For example, I personally met bold, but almost completely incompetent officials. And also there were competent officials, but cowards. Or competent, but crooks. It's the same in the Army.

Why, when they approach our positions, our helicopters do not shoot at their armored vehicles and conventional vehicles, as in a shooting range? What's stopping you?

Most likely there are very few helicopters. This is confirmed by the fact that even at the beginning of the NWO, our columns went there without any air cover and without reconnaissance, while suffering heavy losses. We have few planes and UAVs.

We may really not be able to cover each column, there are a lot of columns and they go for hours, but both artillery and aviation are simply obliged to support the company stronghold to which the enemy company or battalion has entered.

Even a pair of Ka-52s is already 24 ATGMs that they can launch at a target from 6 km, and if you don’t destroy a tank company with a motorized infantry battalion, then significantly weaken their power right from the very first approach.

In fact, apart from the beginning of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they did not carry out ANY (!) Army operation - even the capture of Mariupol does not pull on the scale - operations, not to mention a front-line one. A complete feeling for the future (or already?) Agreement with the border along the Dnieper.

Not "tried", but "trying".
And it's not hopeless...

Do you have any idea about the area where the fighting is taking place? There are only fields, limited by forest plantations and settlements. Steppe from horizon to horizon. According to information, only ours are digging in. So why are these concentrations of enemy forces not intensively detected and destroyed ??? And I will answer you. Because the lack of aviation, and unmanned too. And that's the main thing, I think. In Iraq, the United States destroyed all these concentrations from the air at once! Yes, and in Syria, remember the defeat of the Wagner column. And only to our commanders, everything interferes and something is missing.

Judging by what is reported from all sources, the most adequate assessment of events is:

While Surovikin is creating a trend for the truth for the layman, TV channels and military correspondents continue to throw "countless hordes" of attacking dill onto the fan.
It is certainly hype and probably brings you subscribers for your advertising fees. But while the reconnaissance in combat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of 2 company-tactical groups will be presented as "The Armed Forces of Ukraine went on the attack on Kherson", pants will have to be worn with yellow spots forward, brown back. And we still have to win this war.

UPD When the Armed Forces of Ukraine actually start an offensive operation in one of the directions, it will look completely different. At all. Otherwise

The main thing that is missing is the infantry. No aircraft and drones will replace it.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Where is our aviation? Where is the artillery, MLRS? A thousand went on the offensive in an open field, an ideal target. Do we have intelligence at all?

Russia is becoming a laughingstock for the West. They got into Ukraine and rake. All hope for the winter, for Europe to freeze.
