Donbas, Kherson and Zaporozhye. About the latest changes on the front

Video of the day in recent days has been reporting the active activity of the Ukrainian special forces and guerrillas in the occupied Crimea - whether there were self -ignition, whether the children were playing cigarettes at several warehouses and headquarters of Russian ammunition. It is absolutely meaningless to count each of these losses now: it is missing the details to claim what happened there, and cumulative effects are much more important.

Air/Missile/Marine War early in the morning of August 21 Ukrainian air defense stated that two winged Caliber missiles were shot down, and the Air Force stated that their pilots (ie one of the MiG-29 and/or Su-27 interceptors) knocked down the herants -52. The Air Force of Ukraine continues to cause about a dozen air strikes a day (almost exclusively in the Kherson area); VCS of the Russian Federation - up to 60-70 (especially in Kharkiv region, but also in the Kherson region).

Both sides, as before, use an ineffective/rarely effective method of "praying". Ukrainian strikes AgM-88 Harm (as expected, led by Ukrainian MiG-29) are much more effective: 21 August 21 stated that two S-300 SPRs were failed.

Ironically, this does not have a serious impact on Russia's ability to defend its troops because Moscow Keystone Cops (so the author calls the Ministry of Defense of Russia-NV) currently use the S-300 Wunderwaffe SCRS as ballistic missiles, "replacing" them with C-350 and "Beech M3". When I talk about using C-300 as ballistic missiles, I really mean using them by "tens".

For example, on the eve of Independence Day of Ukraine, the authorities in Kiev warned their citizens about a possible large -scale rocket strike of Russia. The main reason for concern is the increase in the concentration of anti-aircraft missile complexes of the C-300 Armed Forces in the south of Belarus: since Russia is critically lacking in other types of guided missiles, and they may want to deploy them to blow in Kiev.

According to various sources, there are at least three ships of the Black Sea Fleet in the sea with winged caliber missiles: today and tomorrow they have to strike. The Battle of the Donbas in general, the Russians return to the attack, especially with the focused support of artillery - in several directions. Kharkiv. After a break of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they returned to the shelling of Kharkiv and struck on it from the S-300 SPR.

Russia has inflicted a number of air strikes on the Armed Forces along the front line in the Rubizhnyi area, because Ukrainians use them to fire Russian ways of supply in the Rubizhnyi area. Raisins. Small Russian detachments conducted active intelligence, but in 2-3 days, when Ukrainians repelled 4-5 small attacks in the general direction on Barvinkovo, there were no new storms. Places such as Brazhkivka, Dovgeny and Virgin Mary remain either a draw or under the control of Ukraine. Siversk.

The fierce fighting from Ivano-Darivka and the controversial was reported, but all the efforts of the separatists were not successful. Bakhmut. In the end, the Russians failed to capture Soledar; Meanwhile, they fired the village and Ukrainian positions again. Instead, from the Bakhmut district reports about fighting in residential quarters.

At the same time, in view of everything, the Armed Forces strengthened its artillery in the area so much that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and separatists had a serious problem when trying to cross a flat and open terrain to approach Ukrainian positions. In turn, the Russians are intense shelling and constantly conduct a spray-attack. At the same time, Russian invaders seem to be entered in the southern part of Zaitsevo.

The Codma is still holding on to the attacks of Russians from three directions (northeast, south and southwest). The control line. In general, the Armed Forces still too little artillery to support its parts along the control line. Thus, the attacks of separatists on Krasnogorivka have failed, and thus the Ukrainian stronghold in Avdiivka remains under the strict control of the Armed Forces, but there are "good news" from Lok (the old front line between Ukraine and separatists in the Donbass).

First of all, the Russians already completely control the sands. From there, as well as from the east and south, they advance open and flat terrain to Neuelske. The Armed Forces strengthened the front line there with two marine infantry battalions. My impression is too little, too late. A rare such case in recent weeks - Ukrainian artillery has undermined the headquarters of one of the separatists in Donetsk and another ammunition composition to the east of the city.

The Ukrainian stronghold in Mariinka has suffered several attacks in the last few days (almost all from the north) - all are supported by the wide use of inflammatory means - but fortunately, it was possible to resist. At least there are good news from the southern outskirts of LOC: a Ukrainian defense line that combines the Golden Niva with Pavlivka. Probably because the Armed Forces seems to have brought a completely new unit to this area: 66 mechanized brigade. Zaporizhzhia.

The drama in Energodar continues, the invaders place their units there and make ammunition, and then complain about Ukrainian shelling, although most of the latter are actually Russian origin - as evidenced by Moscow's attempt to organize an appropriate meeting of the Security Council. It is interesting that the purpose of the Russians was not the NPP, but the local TPP: the TPP is one of the main Russian goals in recent days. Kherson.

After the failure of the last Ukrainian attack in the Blessed area (stopped by Russian artillery), three to four days ago the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation made three large counterattacks. The graceful, seems to be Ukrainian artillery, has suffered great losses. The counter -attack of the Russians by Stanislav to Oleksandrivka was successful - the latter was taken - but then less successful when the Russians tried to continue traffic to the Trarayan.

Ingulent bridgehead was hit, but it seems less successful-perhaps because Ukrainians declared the destruction of two radars, two 120 mm mortars, as well as self-propelled howitzers "Giant-C" and "MSTA-C" in this district. On August 22, the VRRF and VCS were struck by Nikolaev with at least four C-300 and one X-31. The latter was shot down. One or two X-59 was fired at the Su-35 for "infrastructure purposes" in the direction of Odessa: at least one was lined. Ukrainians do not report the victims.

In turn, the Armed Forces are kept under pressure from the remained remedies, crossings through the Dnieper (just as necessary), and days the Antonovsky bridge and a bridge near the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station with M142 Himars were planted in the air. In both cases, the enclosure caused fires indicating that "something" that either passed bridges or participated in their repair, broke out.
