The Russian-Ukrainian War Thread

Another Russian Su down. Another one downed by the Russians themselves, now per Ukrainians:

I agree. I also think Odesa could be the line in the sand as far as NATO is concerned. The French are already making noises about deploying non-combatant troops in Ukraine. I suspect Poland would support them. I believe it is called the Tripwire strategy.

It's a rather unlikely line. Why not draw the line near Uzhgorod or Lutsk? They seem about as likely to fall to Russia as Odessa.

Odesa: Russian retaliated for the Belgorod Zoo. Botanical garden damaged by Russian strike..

It would be nice to get some more details. Russia typically uses PGMs for these long range strikes. So why the botanical garden? And of course the source is garbage.

I don't know if Odesa or another city is a line in the sand. But I think that should the Russians advance too far to the west, then we may see some East-European forces enter Ukraine to counter them. But I would think more about the North-West. If Russians start to invade the region of Lvov or Ivano-Frankisk, I almost sure that Poles will come with their tanks to stop them. Yet, not in the context of NATO, and maybe with the disapproval of some NATO members, because NATO can't legally intervene in such case.

I would be very surprised if the Americans or Germans would join the initiative of sending ground troops to the rescue. But that's just my opinion.

With previous Russian missile attacks on Ukraine overflying Poland is there a case for Poland to be able to shoot such when within range even if it meant that such missiles were overflying Ukraine at the time ?

On the night and morning of March 29, Russians attacked three DTEK thermal power plants among other energy infrastructure objects.
Russians still attempt to disrupt industrial production, military production in particular by shutting down the networks. Maybe also to create the sensation that Zelensky is unable to protect his own people.

After a Russian cruise missile flew through Poland, a Military drone crashes in Romania, 23 km from border with Ukraine. Here it's not a few debris, a few meters beyond the border with Ukraine, but a full drone, 28km inside Romania.
The origine of the drone has not been identified. Investigation is going on. Likely a Shahed type.
It created a 4m wide crater upon impact, suggesting that it exploded with a significant charge.
IMO it's unlikely that Ukraine would send a kamikaze drone in this direction.

Apparently Russians are not complete morons and they have disabling mechanisms on their gliding bombs in case they would miss their target or fall accidentally. If the info is accurate, these FAB's are less so.

These bombs fell quiet far from their targets. At least 10km. Unless the target was the Free Russian Legion inside Russia?

Yes. I remember reading an article about Poland allowing its air defence force to shot down Russian missiles targeting Ukraine or flying over Ukraine if they are within range. And placing some SAM units near the border with Ukraine. Why they didn't intercept the missile while it was over Poland, I don't know. Maybe because it wasn't within range despite being over Poland. In this case Poland didn't dispatch meaningful air defence force in the area. Or they wanted to see where it will go...

If Poles had the possibility to destroy Russian missiles over Ukraine, they would do it, period. Then Putin can still try to portray this as an agression against Russia...

Do you have a source that covers the actual damage? Anything with footage would be ideal. As it stands, we have basically unsubstantiated claims from a propaganda-laden outlet.

I'm not so sure. Making a statement is one thing. Actually doing something is another. This could trigger a conflict, with Russia claiming a right to engage the SAMs in question. Shooting down a single Russia missile is one thing, systematically providing SAM coverage to Ukrainian border regions is another. The former isn't particularly meaningful, especially when you consider that SAMs are expensive, and the action is inherently dangerous. The latter I suspect would come with a substantial risk of escalation.

I believe if Poland wanted to engage Russian inbounds over Ukraine they certainly have the ability to deploy quite a few SAMs to the border, and scramble jets. Russia has truck L'vov and other parts of western Ukraine often enough. I believe they have not done so to avoid escalating the situation and provoking Russia.

 

[seaspear]

A question would then be how does Poland defend its borders from shortcuts from drones and missiles which are using Polish territory to evade Ukraine defences ,should Poland wait till the missile or drone actually crosses the border which then becomes an issue of the damage from such an object landing in Poland

Let me be clear. I was responding to what I believe is actually happening. Your question is a hypothetical. Before addressing it, I'd like to make a couple of points. Is there evidence that Russian inbounds are using Polish airspace to evade Ukrainian air defenses? In what way would Russia even do so? Ukrainian radars can presumably see across the border. Is it that once across the border Ukraine won't engage them and Poland won't either? This seems murky. Russian strikes on areas close to the Polish border are an absolute minority of all strikes, and it's a hard to reach area for Russia. This makes is a desirable place to in principle hide things, like repair facilities for western kit (possibly staffed with foreign specialists?). So the discussion isn't completely moot. In fact if things continue, we may see a tension point occur just along these lines.

Now on to the actual hypothetical. How does Poland defend its borders? Well presumably the same way anyone else does. Air space control assets to detect inbounds and vector intercepts if necessary. You could put a fighter pair on stand-by if you're anticipating this being a regular issue. You could station additional SAMs and launch as soon as they cross into your airspace. You could also generally ignore them, if you're reasonably certain they're going to land on the Ukrainian side of the border.

 

[seaspear]

This article admittedly from WIKI does supply some context to missiles from both sides crossing the border ,some can be linked to engagement by Ukraine on inbound missiles ,but a cruise missile would certainly have an its own navigation pre-set

I will try to make an update post either today or tomorrow, but a quick preview. It appears Ukrainian reserves around Donetsk that were deployed about ~1.5 months ago have been chewed up in the fighting and Russia has resumed advances everywhere, gaining ground in Novomihailovka, which appears to be about to fall, and Pervomayskoe. Russia has also started small movements north-east of Krasnogorovka, and resumed pushing west towards Kurakhovo. In the grand scheme of things these advances are relatively small, but they are definite alarm bells.

I'm really curious why Poland didn't intercept this cruise missile. Either they didn't have SAM in the area, or they thought that shooting it down would put local populations at risk.
yes, it's possible that they don;t try to intercept Russian missiles flying over Ukraine by fear that Russia would then hit the SAM units in Poland. This make sens because if Russia does that the whole NATO will be scrambled to protect Poland. Neither Russia nor Poland wishes that. As you said there has been few strikes on the region near Poland lately and it's not essential for Ukraine that Poland helps intercept missiles in this region. If it would become critical, then I think Poland would react.

About the Odessa botanic garden; I didn't know that this topic was so dear to you. I'm afraid that we won't find sources of informations other than Ukrainian ones. Here a Y!News article showing smashed glass from the greenhouse. But they still take their informations from official Ukrainian outlet. Here the Facebook page of somebody (the director?) from the Botanical garden.
So I read Ukrinform directly (the English translation).

Why did the Russian struck it? It's not clear if it was hit directly or collaterally. But it's the closest target to a zoo.

Russian forces have launched a series of attacks across the Sukhaya Plotva river in the southern part of the bulge. The river is, more or less, the front line in the area, and Ukrainian positions beyond it are on a hill line. The action in question was reported almost a week ago and we have little to no corroboration which suggests the attacks failed, but we don't have clear confirmation.

Artemovsk/Bakhmut.

Russia has reportedly taken Krasnoe, Ukrainian forces withdrawing after Russian forces took the hill north of town. Russian forces are now less then 1km away from Chasov Yar after inching forward along the road towards the town. In the east the town has a high-rise apartment neighborhood called Canal, because it's on the left shore of the Canal, and therefore potentially exposed to a Russian assault. Russian forces have also advanced north of Klescheevka, south of Krasnoe, but the ruins of the village itself are in Ukrainian hands. There are also reports of Russian advances inside Bogdanovka.

It seems major combat action here has wound down. No more large scale Ukrainian attacks are being reported. However Ukraine is continuing shelling of Belgorod despite Russia regularly reporting on destruction of Ukrainian MLRS involved in the strikes. Civilian casualties are reported. I'm consolidating for the sake of brevity, but to be clear, this is a series of strikes, not a single one. Shelling also isn't restricted to the city, local villages are also getting hit.

A Russian soldier films a destroyed BMP-3M, BMP-2, knocked out MBT (allegedly T-72B3 but I can't make it out), and BREM-L in the distance. Based on his comments, it's possible that we're seeing the results of a successful attack. I.e. the infantry was able to dismount and capture positions despite losing vehicles. BMP-3Ms are being destroyed more frequently lately, suggesting their use is becoming more and more common. This lines up with regular reports of continued deliveries. Despite being the most modern IFV Russia produces, even with up-armor kits it's protection level is inadequate by modern standards. It is, however, a massive improvement over BMP-1/2s and MT-LBs.

A fairly clear looking S-60/MT-LB hybrid. What I always wonder about is why Russia hasn't developed and deployed a standard up-armor kit for the MT-LB. They have them for the BMP-1/2 and BMP-3. Even pre-war several units were using MT-LBs as APCs (200th MRBde, and 40th MarBde) and IFVs (the mountain bde out of Dagestan had them with 30mm autocannons). Now they're even more widespread. They're also essentially artillery tractors. They can carry a lot of weight. A simple up-armor kit seems so logical.

Russian T-90M with a new EW system, knocked out and finished off by a quadcopter grenade drope. Note the extra layer of K-1 on the roof.

The two open hatches suggest that the tank was empty. Preventive action to make sure that their owner doesn't use it again.

Ukrainian T-72M1 knocked out and finished off near Avdeevka.

If I understand the caption, the BCU (Ukrainians) finished their own tank with a copter?
To prevent the Russians to use it?

An ugly pattern is developing of Ukraine using FPV drones to attack civilian vehicles near the border. In the past we've seen construction and farm equipment, now a delivery van.

It looks like they strike at anything moving. This is teir "War is coming to Russia" program. Scare the people away from the region, disrupt the local economy, maybe hoping to hit civilian vehicles used by the local government or the military in the meantime.

Looking at the smoke, the van was carrying either tires or fuel.

There are reports of large number of missing civilians in the border regions of Ukraine after the recent attack into Belgorod region. Given the escalating Russian strikes, these might be civilian dead. Though given the shady nature of the organizations involved, we can't discount some sort of misbehavior.

Some witness have talked about execution of civilians who voiced support for the Russians or who refused to evacuate because they were waiting for Russians to liberate them, or answered the wrong answer to the question "Are you Russian or Ukrainian" and in one case without even asking any question. These crimes were commited by foreign mercenaries.
This is already old, but there is no reason whay these incidents are not repeated or even worsening.

Those dying collaterally under Russian response strikes are likely to be few and there should be also reports of wounded civilians as well.

Now, it's more probable that these missing civilians have simply fled to other areas and the authorities are not yet aware of this.

Polish volunteer formations confirm their participation in the recent attack on Belgorod region. This is continuing confirmation that for all the propaganda b.s. the so-called Russian Legion doesn't have the numbers to constitute a substantial military force in their own right, and is mainly a propaganda stunt. And a fairly costly and ineffective one, at least so far.

I also believe that there are very few Russians from Russia inside these Russian Legions and other Siberian Batallion.
There might be a few ones but clearly not in the thousands nor even in the hundreds. Russians are fairly attached to their nation and even when they disagree with Putin's war, few would want to kill fellow Russians soldiers, unless they have a very good personal reason to do it.

The Wagner rebelion didn't meet any support within the regular army, and very little (a few applaus in Taganrog caught on camera) among the population. The Russian Freedom Legion is unlikely to have more popular success.
People don't believe that somebody else won't be as bad as the current regime. That they disagree with Putin doesn't mean that they will trust unkown, rogue warriors. Let alone those who still support Putin.

In recent strikes Russia hit the Kurakhovo, Ladyzhenskaya, Zmievskaya thermal plants, the TETs-5 in Kharkov, ....
This actually represents potentially more serious damage then all the strikes from last winter that were aimed mainly at distribution rather then production. Some of the repairs are being described as the kind that would take years to complete.

Reading between the lines, and sometimes directly, reports from Ukrinform seems to confirm that damages were serious.

Well, of course, it's precisely because of the RDK that civilians disappear, not because Sumy Oblast is leveled by bombs, often without any confirmed military targets. Before the attacks by the RDK, civilians didn't die from the SRG attacks, of course. It's amusing how the source manipulates facts, but then again, why be surprised? This telegram channel has used fakes many times before.

30.03.24 Avdiivka area, village Tonenke. Remember this date and area.
12 tanks and 8 BMPs were taken out.

It's also interesting that an OSINT researcher has noted a new trend among Russian losses: tanks T-72 manufactured or upgraded after 2013 are becoming less common, while those from the 1984-2012 period are increasingly prevalent. This is corroborated by leaked information from Russian chats: enemy tank crews complain about a shortage of certain components, notably ERA. This aligns with regular reports indicating that the Russian Armed Forces are increasingly employing "naked" tanks, without ERA, immediately after they are taken out of storage

You clearly see what you want to see. My very first explanation was Russian airstrikes. Given prior bad behavior from both sides especially when it comes to organizations somewhat separate from the regular military (Wagner, Georgian Legion) we can't ignore the other possibility.

He quotes it as the largest attack. Iirc weren't there more used in the initial push to the rail line and refuse mound near Avdeevka? This one is clearly a tank btln and a mech coy. That one was from what I could observe a mech btln and a tank coy. Either way, curious about the large scale use of armor and mainly in this area. Let's see if it develops into a trend. As for it being madness... Russia is continuing to gain ground here.

Do you have a link to this? It would be interesting to see the data.

The two open hatches suggest that the tank was empty. Preventive action to make sure that their owner doesn't use it again.

Given the location and context, I suspect it's immobilized somehow. Crews bailing out routinely leave hatches open to save time.

If I understand the caption, the BCU (Ukrainians) finished their own tank with a copter?
To prevent the Russians to use it?

Yes. This is correct, and in general good practice.

It looks like they strike at anything moving. This is teir "War is coming to Russia" program. Scare the people away from the region, disrupt the local economy, maybe hoping to hit civilian vehicles used by the local government or the military in the meantime.

If this is the pattern they intend to follow, they are going to wander more and more into warcrime territory.

Looking at the smoke, the van was carrying either tires or fuel.

Not sure I can tell the load from the smoke. How do you figure?

Some witness have talked about execution of civilians who voiced support for the Russians or who refused to evacuate because they were waiting for Russians to liberate them, or answered the wrong answer to the question "Are you Russian or Ukrainian" and in one case without even asking any question.

Of course. I didn't think of this, but your explanation is the likeliest one. In the chaos of an evacuation the spike in missing persons would be first and foremost people separate and trying to find each other.

had the van been empty or ladden with non flamable material or not very flamable material it wouldn't smoke like that.
The only time I saw smoke like that is when a neighbour decided to burn tires. The whole vilage was angry.
A large load of plastic material could also smoke bad but not as much as tires.
Diesel could also generate this black smoke. But we would see burning spills on the road.

So not just tires but anything flammable would do? What about synthetic fabric, like a tarp? Or something other then tires but made of rubber, like rain boots? To be clear, I don't think this is a truck full of rain boots, I'm just curious about what the theoretical range of possibilities is.
