Duma MP Oleg Matvechev: "The highest birth rates are in poor countries, and the lowest in rich ones. The population must live in poverty to improve the demographic situation. We must abandon the dogma that improving material conditions will solve the fertility problem." 🤪
For several days now, I've been watching with utter surprise the GSUA reports, which put Russian IFV losses at 0-3, despite all the frontline videos showing the massacre of these vehicles. The GSUA has just updated its data, revealing that the RuAF lost 28 IFVs.
And the result of such actions is enormous personnel losses. According to Colonel Mashovets, the 5th OVA operating in this area lost almost 17,000 soldiers by the end of August!!!! Just so the Russian MoD could announce the "liberation" of another village with several hundred inhabitants...
motorcycles and cars to move their infantry. The composition of the Russian assault groups clearly demonstrates the mobilization problems in the Russian Federation, as they are mainly composed of recently mobilized personnel, and among them the prisoners even include prisoners from Moscow prisons."
Due to catastrophic losses, the Russian command is forced to constantly rotate units. One by one, new units are being sent to the front, quickly losing steam due to personnel losses. The enemy has virtually no equipment – the occupiers use mainly
constantly changing their attack tactics – from massive assaults in large groups to attacks in small units. However, even minimal tactical successes have cost the Russians hundreds of lives. You can't even imagine the scale – not one, not two, not five, but hundreds of dead in these areas.
But Russian command knows very well how insignificant this sector is, so it is trying to conduct operations there at minimal losses of vehicles, as described yesterday by Mykola Zinko, company commander of the 5th Brigade: "The occupiers are testing the strength of the Ukrainian defense every day,
As I wrote in my September summary, current activities in this direction have little strategic significance, only propaganda. This allows the Russians to boast that they have the initiative and are close to victory. bsky.app/profile/madr...
A brief summary of September, in terms of numbers. There's no point in writing anything about Russian armor losses, as they've been essentially constant for the past five months: 60-80 tanks and 80-150 AFVs, several times less than last year.
#Novopavlovsk Anyone following Deep State updates has surely noticed that this direction appears almost daily. Last month, over half of Russia's territorial gains came from this sector of the front. I'm attaching today's update.
The PM Office has released official information on Polish military assistance to Ukraine:tens of thousands of AFU soldiers have been trained, a logistics hub has been established in Jasionka and 44 packages worth €4 billion have been transferred to O7.24. Below is a list of the transferred equipment
Thus, we clearly see that the use of armor is more likely to lead to tactical success than the use of infantry and civilian vehicles alone. However, if we look at it from a strategic perspective, losing nearly 20 armor to capture a village with approximately 200 inhabitants is practically suicide
likely allowing them to capture Volodymirivka in one fell swoop. Had this attack been conducted solely using civilian vehicles, it likely would have resulted in the elimination of almost all Russian soldiers immediately after the attack began.
despite significantly greater irreversible losses. Why? Because they send infantry on motorcycles and in civilian vehicles into the attack, they minimize the use of armor. Here, we saw an example of the opposite situation: the Russians deployed a large amount of armor,
Dozens of accounts reported this information, so most people are already familiar with the story. However, I would like to draw attention to another matter. For several months now, I have been trying to point out that this year, the Russians have made significantly fewer gains in the field,
Regarding personnel losses, there were 107 KIA and 51 WIA. Over 30 Russians managed to reach Volodymirivka and occupy the abandoned buildings. Azovs write that on the morning of 10.10, there were no infantry in the village, but the Russians were celebrating the liberation of the settlement.
#Dobropillia Yesterday, the 1st Azov Corps reported a massive mechanized attack on Shakhove on October 9th, involving 35 pieces of armored vehicles. As a result, 1 ATV, 3 MBTs, 16 IFVs, 41 motorcycles, and 2 cars were destroyed.
Good news from Ukrenergo: after the overnight attack in the Odessa region, power has been restored to most customers. Regarding yesterday's massive attack: "In the regions affected by the massive missile and drone attack on the power system on October 10,
According to experts, the situation could worsen in the coming weeks: even if domestic supplies stabilize, fuel will continue to be shipped to China under permanent contracts, which Moscow will not risk breaking."
prices at gas stations have increased, and some stations have been temporarily closed. However, the government is convinced that the shortage is "temporary" and blames the current situation on oil companies, which allegedly "do not respond flexibly enough to central orders."
