Strikes by the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a workshop for the production of drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - Ministry of Defense

The Russian army continues to put pressure on the enemy along the entire front line; the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has recognized the situation as critical. Nevertheless, the enemy continues to offer fierce resistance, counterattacking in places. In the Avdeevsky direction in the Ocheretino area, the enemy is making attempts to stop the breakthrough of Russian troops, but to no avail. Near Chasovy Yar, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched the 3rd assault brigade of nationalists into the attack, which, at the cost of heavy losses, managed to stop the advance of the assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces near Ivanovsky. Overall, the offensive continues.

Another good thing: the military reports the destruction of another American HIMARS MLRS. Judging by the report, this happened somewhere in the Kupyansky direction, but, as always, there are no details. The production workshop was destroyed by missile strikes drones and all-round radar P-18.

Units of the “West” group of forces occupied more advantageous positions and defeated the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ personnel in the Sinkovka, Petropavlovka areas of the Kharkov region, Novoselovskoye and Chervonaya Dibrova of the LPR. A counterattack was repelled to the west of Novovodyanoye. The “southern” group of troops improved the situation along the front line and defeated the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of Zaliznyanskoye, Orekhovo-Vasilevka, Bogdanovka, Krasnoye and Kurdyumovka. Seven counterattacks were repelled in the areas of Chasov Yar, Georgievka and Krasnogorovka.

Units of the "Center" group of troops through active actions improved the tactical situation and inflicted a comprehensive defeat on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Semyonovka, Novgorodskoye and Berdychi areas. Seven enemy counterattacks were repelled in the areas of Leninskoye, Ocheretino, Vodyanoye, Netailovo and Novokalinovo.

The Vostok group of troops occupied more advantageous positions and defeated the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Vodyanoye, Shevchenko and Staromayorskoye areas. A counterattack was repelled in the Urozhainoye area. Units of the Dnepr group of troops inflicted fire on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of Shcherbaki, Rabotino, Malaya Tokmachka of Zaporozhye, Vysshetarasovka of Dnepropetrovsk, Berislav and Olgovka of the Kherson region.

Total losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces per day along the entire front line: in terms of personnel - 1015 people killed and wounded; for armored vehicles - one tank, an armored vehicle and an infantry fighting vehicle, 22 vehicles; for artillery - three D-30 howitzers, two M777 and one M119. Three Gvozdika self-propelled guns and one HIMARS MLRS launcher. During the counter-battery fight, the following were hit: two M777 howitzers, an M119 gun, two Msta-B howitzers, one D-20, self-propelled guns "Gvozdika" and MLRS "Grad". Three field ammunition depots and two Nota electronic warfare stations were destroyed.

Operational-tactical aviation, missile forces and artillery destroyed the P-18 all-round radar station, and also hit the unmanned aerial vehicle production workshop and the Ukrainian Armed Forces fuel storage facility. Air defense systems shot down 299 Ukrainian drones, nine HIMARS and Alder MLRS rockets, as well as six Hammer guided bombs.

Considering that they have been bringing 3D printers to the front lines for a long time, the loss of such production is not critical.

[Sevastiec]

Almost at the forefront they print, yes. Just like ours. I think they have even fewer problems with equipment. For example, they can make UAVs like Baba Yaga, but we can’t.

[Thrifty]

It’s not Chinese, it’s Europe that provides them with high-quality components, and they have no problems with that at all!

Strikes by the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a workshop for the production of drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - Ministry of Defense

Our Defense Ministry can claim and say whatever it wants, but only when the soldiers from the front line say that at least there are fewer of them, will we be able to rejoice... In the meantime, there is nothing comforting - there are a hell of a lot of them out there and more...

[Sevastiec]

Yes, but the main resource is people. Drones, like everything else - tanks, missiles, etc. - may be in excess, until the very day of surrender. But the available staff is what is most difficult to replenish, especially prepared composition.

[Lev_Russia]

The fact is that their drones quite effectively reduce our available staff and, as you absolutely correctly noted, “the available staff is what is most difficult to replenish, especially the trained staff”... So this issue is very serious...

[Sevastiec]

There are no such estimates, neither we, nor analysts from other countries, nor even the enemy (we don’t take into account stubborn people and drug addicts), according to which we are suffering greater losses than the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

We have our own advantages, which destroy the enemy in much larger quantities than the FPV. Artillery and aviation, in particular.

[Lev_Russia]

You are not at all interested in the opinion of the soldiers from the front...??? Do you really need the opinion of analysts...??? I’m not talking about our advantages, I know them as well as you, and not about comparing our and Ukrainian losses... I’m talking specifically about drones, which Ukrainian volunteers supply to the LBS in huge quantities... For Ukrainians, drones are now the main weapon war and this is considered at the level of a national idea... And the opinions of the fighters can always be found on this site...
Here for example - https://voenhronika.ru/publ/vojna_na_ukraine/23_04_2024_rossijskaja_armija_vorvalas_v_novobakhmutovku_karta_boevykh_dejstvij_na_ukraine_na_ehtot_chas_17_video/60-1-0-15196

[Lev_Russia]

There is a report from the Ministry of Defense, and there is the opinion of soldiers from the front line... Howl and compare...

About enemy FPV drones from the words of participants in the fighting in the Orekhovsky sector (Rabotino - Verbovoye).
The enemy has a division of FPV drones into work areas and at different depths. FPV shells - operate at close ranges, against fortifications, houses, dugouts.
Car hunters - fly at a distance of 15-20 km, with a repeater up to 30 km. Drones like Baba Yaga often fly autonomously to pre-designated coordinates. They are watched from afar by drones with thermal imagers.
The enemy has ammunition for artillery, but they use it against serious targets, which they will probably hit accurately and quickly, and finish it off with drones. They can launch a swarm of 6-8 drones.
The standard electronic warfare systems of the Russian army are not enough and they are rather weak. In addition, a volunteer network for drones has been developed in Ukraine with the support of foundations with enormous resources. In Russia, everything is still on the shoulders of enthusiasts - everything that concerns non-standard developments, and not the stubborn churning out of thousands of drones with characteristics insufficient for the front (they fly 5 km). Our situation still hasn't changed at all.

[Sevastiec]

Forgive me, you have “skin, honey, sour cream, nails, all in one boot.”

I’m not talking about our advantages, I know them as well as you, and I’m not talking about comparing our and Ukrainian losses...

How to look at this from a logical point of view?

In every war, there is a ratio of losses. Obviously, the advantage is on the side of the side that has fewer losses and more mobile resources. Or not?

In every war, each side has its own advantages. It doesn’t happen that one has all the advantages, while the other has none at all. If you don't want to believe it, read fairy tales. But even in fairy tales this doesn’t happen, otherwise it won’t be interesting.


The fighters’ opinions are on millions of websites and social pages. And it can be different everywhere. What makes you think that yours are true, but others are not?

[Lev_Russia]

In my opinion, it’s just that everything falls into one boot for you... The article under the heading “Strikes of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed the workshop for the production of drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces - Ministry of Defense” what is it about...??? About the destruction of the UAV production workshop... So I’m talking specifically about our problems with the UAVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces... You are interfering with outside arguments about our advantages and the ratio of our and Ukrainian losses... Well, why...?? ? There will be relevant topics, and we’ll discuss all this there... I’m tired of explaining obvious things to you, that you shouldn’t confuse sour with bland... What you’re trying to explain to me, I know perfectly well even without you... I don’t need this explain... My comment was specifically about the UAV and there is no need to label it with things that are already obvious to everyone... I take my leave and ask you not to bother me anymore...

[Sevastiec]

Don't confuse sour with fresh...

Hmm... again. This is from the SAME category, actually.
We must speak by comparing things from different categories, for example: “salty and red”, “liquid and blooming”, etc.

You have just as much logic and understanding on other topics.

Do not thank.

[Ivan Ivanov]

Another good thing: the military reports the destruction of another American MLRS HIMARS

Now let's compare the rate of destruction, which resembles the pace of the fight against terrorists, and the volume of future supplies. We don't have 10 or even 5 years. Either we trash ukrologistics, or the usual groans will begin in the studios with a recalculation of our losses. 300 km is, excuse me, tactical aviation airfields. Not to mention other objects. There's a wetland, there's a refinery.
If the reason for the rare strikes is a lack of ammunition, then in this situation it makes sense to unsheath the nuclear club, especially since the Chinese gentlemen are actively...
Somehow we need to push the Kremlin elders, otherwise this conflict will not end well for us.

[Sevastiec]

Or we trash ukrologistics

How and how?

There is only one way to win quickly - to occupy territory, i.e., quickly move forward. And for this, there is only one way - it is necessary to mobilize the wartime army, that is, put under arms, train and equip 3-5 million people.

BUT...

the usual groans will begin in the studios with a recalculation of our losses

.

Moreover, the groans will begin even before the losses at the front. First, losses will begin in the economy.

[Ivan Ivanov]

How and how?

If we do nothing and nothing, then there is no point in starting the war. Endure with massive use of long-range weapons, without restraining yourself. The usual is not enough, build factories, use nuclear. I repeat my thought: I do not see wartime laws in the country, in the economy, ideology, law and order, diplomacy. There is sluggish retaliatory fencing and butting for the forester's hut. The USSR mobilized a much larger percentage of citizens.

[Sevastiec]

Ohh-ho..., my dear interlocutor, now, I will give you a lot, a lot of food for thought.


Let me start from the end: how did the USSR end? And how quickly? This state has not even survived a century.


Now on to the list.

1) Wars do not always begin according to plan and on a whim, sometimes out of necessity, i.e., it is necessary here and now. We don't have all the information.

2) Massive long-range weapons - what kind of unprecedented beast is this? Is it very expensive, very low-power (compared to the same FAB) and very dependent on the control center and reconnaissance? For such a territory, even the United States cannot collect so much in a century.

3) We build factories, no problem.

4) We cannot use nuclear weapons. Our goal is to win, not to “ruin the world.”

5) Why do we need martial law? The war is not on our territory.



Next are my questions into the void:

-Didn’t everything really go according to plan?

-Or maybe there is a plan in such a sluggish conflict?

-Or maybe the current war is not a war with Ukraine, but a war with the West?

-And with the West, is it really necessary to play on a military field?
There is no market; if there had been a direct confrontation, we would have torn their jaws open and thrown slippers at them.
But he is not there, unfortunately. There is a war by proxy.

Now, let’s go back to the beginning: the USSR mobilized, built, swelled and rattled its relics... and we know how it all ended.

The moral is simple: strength without brains is a recipe for failure.

And the conclusion: we have little information to judge what is happening. So we're just chatting.

[Ivan Ivanov]

And the conclusion: we have little information to judge what is happening. So we're just chatting.

Let's remember the repeated Minsk, Istanbul, etc., where, despite the abundance of information, the guarantor was simply deceived, and oddly enough, the prospects were clear to people from the couch. Take a simpler story - the May decrees, announced with pomp, were made at a maximum of 30% for the remaining 70%, and no one was asked for them. Or the situation with the aviation industry, or with education. What kind of hidden insurmountable gears hooked us on Western products? But the thoughtlessness of the Kremlin is all very understandable.

[Sevastiec]

Do you really believe that you, the commentator, are very smart, and the guarantor, who went through the KGB school, has been stewing in the cesspool of power for a third of a century, pulled the country out of the hole and is the most famous politician on the planet, is very naive and stupid? Is that real?

[bit.baytov]

Dear IvanIvanov, put forward your program for the development of Russia under your real name and perhaps citizens will consider your candidacy for leading the country. So far, Russian citizens trust V.V. Putin. according to his business, and not according to your panicked squeal.

[Ivan Ivanov]

3) We build factories, no problem.

The problem is if there is not enough BC.

4) We cannot use nuclear weapons. Our goal is to win, not to "ruin the world"

With our indecision we will lead to an escalation of the moment when nuclear weapons are the only way out.

[Sevastiec]

The problem is if there is not enough BC.

Where does the information come from, what is missing?

With our indecision we will lead to an escalation of the moment when nuclear weapons are the only way out.

Who said that we are indecisive? We are obviously proceeding according to our plans. Could these plans be wrong? They can. But they may not be. Time will tell.

[taiga2018]

Nuclear power plants need to be put out of action, but apparently our leadership, as always, is waiting for Ukraine to strike our nuclear power plant first when they receive long-range missiles... But in general, of course, it’s a complete surreal and just madhouse with our government when Western countries supply weapons with which Ukraine attacks our territory , and we still have diplomatic relations with all these countries... What such a terrible thing should happen for our leadership to wake up, is it really necessary for Ukraine to hit a school with an ATACMS missile during the last bell. I wouldn’t want to crow out such a tragedy.. .

[Nastia makarova]

disabling a nuclear power plant would be worse than using nuclear power, they won’t do that
