Map of Russia's special operations in Ukraine, the advance of Russian troops, militar

A resident of the Tyumen region of Russia filmed a train of military equipment. The video shows the M1989 Koksan self-propelled guns produced by the DPRK, which were previously shown, and an unknown model of military equipment. The video is of low quality and it is difficult to draw conclusions, the outlines of the installations are similar to the North Korean Pukguksong-2 ballistic missile installations. So far, there is no convincing damage that Russia has received Pukguksong-2 missiles.

Pukguksong-2 missiles, KN-15 according to Western classification, were adopted by the DPRK in 2017. The name of the missile - Pukguksong-2 - is translated as "Polar Star". Presumably, the missile is a land-based version of the Pukguksong solid-fuel missile for submarines. Pukguksong-2 missiles are mounted on the chassis of the T-62 tank, the production of which is established in the DPRK. According to North Korean media, the range of the Pukguksong-2 missiles is from 3,000 to 5,500 kilometers; according to Western experts, the range of the missiles is up to 2,500 km.

 
An episode of the battle of the Russian 114th brigade in the Kurakhovsky direction, in the Donbass. During the battle, a Russian portable electronic warfare system was used, protecting soldiers from drones. The model of the electronic warfare system is not reported. The video shows an attack by a Ukrainian FPV drone, which, under the influence of the electronic warfare system, cannot hit the soldiers, as a result, the drone falls.

 
An episode of the battle between the Russian robotic platform NRTK "Courier" and the Ukrainian FPV drone. Technical information on the ground drone NRTK "Courier" is in the link to the video in the comments to the video. In this case, the robot can be said to have replaced the reconnaissance squad. In this configuration, the Russian robot NRTK "Courier" is equipped with an AGS-17 grenade launcher. The task of the military robot "Courier" was to conduct reconnaissance in the area of the settlement of Velyka Novosyolka in the Donbass, and it was also supposed to shell the positions of the Ukrainian army in the settlement.

The robot completed the task, reached the settlement and shelled the positions. The range of the robot was 8 kilometers. On the way to the settlement, the robot NRTK "Courier" successfully overcame four minefields, one anti-tank ditch and one barbed wire fence. When the ammunition was exhausted and the Russian robot was retreating to its initial positions, it was attacked by Ukrainian FPV drones. As a result of the Ukrainian drone strikes, the Russian robot lost its speed and was abandoned. The NRTK "Courier" robot is currently the most actively used robot by the Russian army in Ukraine.

 
An episode of intense point-blank firefight between a Ukrainian serviceman and Russian volunteers from the Sever Brigade. The footage from the war chronicle shows how intense the battles in Ukraine can sometimes be. It has not yet been possible to determine which Ukrainian unit participated in the battle and where the video was filmed. Judging by the video, both soldiers have bulletproof vests. Small arms and grenades were used in the battle, drones were not used. The video is shortened, only the general situation during the battle is shown.

 
In Russia, troops of unmanned systems are being created, the formation of troops is planned to be completed in the third quarter of 2025. The role of drones and unmanned systems in the modern army is so high that a decision was made to form a separate branch of the Russian Armed Forces for unmanned systems. So far, these are only drones and remotely controlled robotic platforms, but with the development of artificial intelligence, they will turn into autonomous combat systems.
Currently, drone manufacturers in Russia have significantly increased their output: the monthly production of UAVs and FPV drones has reached 40 thousand items, and electronic warfare systems up to five thousand items. In total, more than 100 thousand items for various purposes were purchased from civilian manufacturers and small design bureaus.

 
The Ukrainian company DevDroid has demonstrated the Droid TW 12.7 ground drone. According to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Droid TW 12.7 robotic platform has already passed tests that confirmed its reliability in combat conditions. The remotely controlled Droid TW 12.7 robot is equipped with an American 12.7 mm Browning machine gun with 300 rounds of ammunition. The robot is mounted on a tracked platform, which allows it to operate in difficult terrain. The Droid TW 12.7 robotic platform is multifunctional and is designed to perform reconnaissance tasks, including radiation and chemical, protection of soldier units, patrolling and demining. The Droid TW 12.7 robot is controlled via a tablet via secure communication channels, including Starlink, it is equipped with an infrared camera. The operating range of the Droid TW 12.7 is up to 15 km, battery life is not reported. The production period for one Droid TW 12.7 robot is up to 45 days, the cost of the robot is from 26 to 29 thousand dollars.

 
Homemade air defense buggies have begun to be used by Russian mobile air defense groups, and the homemade buggy "ZveraBoy" was also shown earlier. This buggy is built on the basis of the Niva automobile. Despite the simplicity of the design of the vehicles, such mobile air defense groups are quite effective, and are also used by the Ukrainian army. To combat drones, the buggies are armed with six AK-12 assault rifles, located in one plane on the frame. Mortars for firing heat traps and a multi-barrel mount for firing buckshot are also installed. Technical details and who produces the combat vehicles are not reported.

 
The first flight and production of the KUB-10E attack drone were shown in Russia. The KUB-10E UAV belongs to the KUB series of drones, but as can be seen from the video, the drone has become completely different. The KUB-10E drone is designed to destroy unarmored military equipment and other objects. The manufacturer does not report the flight range of the KUB-10E drone and its combat capabilities, but it is known that they have increased significantly. The previous version of the KUB drone could fly 50 km, technical information on it is on the channel, it has positive reviews from military personnel. The body of the KUB-10E drone is similar to the Granat-4 UAV, information about it is on the channel. Like the basic model, the new KUB-10E drone is launched from a catapult and reaches a speed of 100 km / h, at a flight altitude of 100 to 2.5 thousand meters. The weight of the warhead is not specified, in the basic version it was about 3 kg. The KUB-10E drone is guided by GPS coordinates or using an optical-electronic system. The drone is equipped with an internal combustion engine.

 
Residents of Ukraine have published footage of Russian cruise missiles Kh-101 hitting the Pridneprovskaya TPP in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. The video was filmed by several eyewitnesses from different angles on December 25. At the time of the missile attack, Ukrainian air defense was working, but the shot down missiles are not visible on the video. A total of 12 missile strikes were recorded in Dnepropetrovsk. The range of the Russian Kh-101 missile is up to 5,500 km, the warhead is 400 kg.


It is possible that the Ukrainian Gepard air defense system, made in Germany, is firing at Russian missiles.

Footage of an aerial duel in Ukraine, Russian and Ukrainian interceptor drones. Both drones are equipped with drone interception nets, their chances in combat are equal, but the Russian operator turned out to be more experienced. The Russian drone is armed with a Taiga net launcher, their use was previously shown. The model of the net used by the Ukrainian drone is unknown.

 
Rare footage of combat operations of the Russian ZRPK 2K22M "Tunguska-M" and ZRPK 2K22M1 "Tunguska-M1", as it turned out, this air defense is still actively used, but it is shown very rarely. The anti-aircraft gun and missile system 2K22 "Tunguska" or 2S6, was adopted by the USSR in 1982, it replaced the ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" air defense. Currently, the 2K22 "Tunguska" air defense system is used by eight countries, and the Ukrainian army also uses it. Russia has 250 Tunguska-M air defense systems of different versions

UAV carriers of two FPV drones, the Russian army began to use, tests are ending. There is no technical data on the UAV yet. This aircraft-type drone provides the ability to use two FPV drones, at a distance of approximately 20 - 25 km. The Russian UAV is also used as a communication repeater, it allows to increase the range of use of FPV drones.

 
Rare footage of a Russian FPV drone attack in Ukraine, armed with a grenade launcher. Previously, footage of a Russian drone testing an RPG-26 grenade launcher was published. Presumably, the drone is equipped with a Russian RPG-18 "Mukha" grenade launcher, the grenade launcher can hit targets at a distance of up to 200 meters. The location of the shooting is not reported, the drone attacks a pillbox of the Ukrainian army located on one of the roads. The second part of the video, an FPV drone with a grenade launcher, attacks a stronghold of the Ukrainian army located in one of the buildings.

 
Footage of a rare, equal-value head-on tank battle in Donbas has been published. In the video, a Russian armored group consisting of two tanks and two infantry fighting vehicles enters the village of Vozdvizhenka in Donbas. Upon entering the village, the Russian group encounters two moving Ukrainian tanks. The Russian tank fires first and hits the first Ukrainian tank on the road with several shots. The first Ukrainian tank also fired back, but missed. Fire was also directed at the second Ukrainian tank, but the tank apparently did not receive serious damage; the Ukrainian tank reversed and left the battle. The models of the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles could not be determined.

 
Footage of a Ukrainian Baba Yaga drone being intercepted by a Russian FPV drone. The Russian drone operator spotted the Ukrainian drone attempting to attack a Russian tank, and to prevent the attack, the Russian drone rammed the Ukrainian drone. As a result of the ramming, the Ukrainian drone's propeller blades were damaged, after which it fell to the ground. The location where the battle was filmed is not reported.

 
As word gets out that the war runners in Washington knew that they had lost in April we see the Americans blaming the Ukrainians for not fighting hard or well enough, and the Ukrainians blaming the Imperial Empire for not sending enough weapons. Both are not quite right.....the Ukrainians have fought heroically even though they are poorly lead (in large part Washingtons fault) , and the Empire has sent just about everything they could but the Western military equipment industry produces not enough and generally not good quality....although their gear is very expensive.

We now have the Russians demanding what they have always demanded, a negotiated european peace deal, and the Empire refusing to negotiate one because then they would have to admit that they lost, and that would likely be the end of NATO, maybe the end of the EU, and maybe the end of the Imperial Empire.

We are instead racing towards WW3.

May God help us.
 
The plan for dealing with losing the war but refusing to end it as well because that means admitting defeat is ramping up asymmetric war AKA terrorism......for instance the decision to do deep strikes into Russia was made around May.....and the fiction of North Koreans in Kursk was spun mid October as a way to justify it just before they started.

We can be pretty sure now that the drone strikes on Russian Nuclear war radars if not directed by either Washington or their lapdogs the Brits then Washington at least signed off on them......which was happening by the end of May.
 
I have not watched this, and prob wont because I am not a big fan of Lex and Z lies constantly so what is the point (plus I am not a fan of these three hour jobs), but a lot of people were looking forward to it:
