❗According to latest information, the British IT group Micro Focus has been selected to create a threat intelligence platform for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. Their tasks will include identifying the activities of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups and web traffic anomalies.

Micro Focus already has an office in Kyiv, where it provided a similar platform to the Ukrainian state bank Ukreximbank.

In addition to cyberspace, the UK is also providing geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) to Kyiv through Finnish imaging company ICEYE. The firm, whose imaging contract in Ukraine was funded by the Serhiy Prytula Charitable Foundation, owned by Ukrainian actor Serhiy Prytula of the same name, has secured a £3.776m (€4.3m) investment from British Technology Investments (BTI), funded by the National Bank’s Strategic Investment Fund. security.

This BTI investment gives London the opportunity to gain a foothold in the space imagery market in Ukraine. According to Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, the first images processed by the country's military intelligence were handed over to combat brigades of the Ukrainian army at the end of September.

#YURI Infrastructure across all Ukraine, from Lvov to Sumy and Kharkov, hit this afternoon in a massive Russian strike of missiles and drones, in apparent reponse to Ukrainian attacks of Belgorod city and Kursk region of Russia. Apparently, the exchange won’t stop in the coming days.

Battles in Bakhmut continue, no definitive outcome so far. The core of the defenders of Bakhmut on Ukrainian side are are not the AFU members anymore, but the mercenary units. Svatovo - Ukrainian attempts to probe the Russian defences, unsuccessful so far, but the enemy group there remains strong enough for at least a local offensive towards the town of Svatovo itself. Kherson - the distraction attack almost becoming customary, repulsed.

Increasing number of reports indicate that the AFU may attempt a serious offensive on Zaporozhye direction tomorrow, on the Ukrainian Army Day, or soon, towards Melitopol and Berdyansk.

Josep Borrell did not have the authority to comment on the West's response to Russia's alleged use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine, a senior European official told The Wall Street Journal journalist Lawrence Norman.

“He, without having the authority to do so, spoke about the options [answer] for which he is not responsible, through the possibilities that he does not have. We can only be perplexed,” Norman quotes the words of an unnamed European official.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💥 Battle for #Donbass - Destruction of AFU positions East of #Spornoye⚡️

Russian units operating from dominant heights destroy AFU's personnel on the outskirts of #Spornoye with artillery and armoured vehicles.

The compressor station of the underground gas storage facility east of #Spornoye has been turned into a major enemy stronghold. All accesses to the facility are mined.

Ukrainian formations are constantly suffering losses in this area. The dead have not been buried for a long time, but simply thrown into a pit at the edge of the station.

Zin Note: This is not the truck that exploded on the crimean bridge. Remember, the explosives were on one truck, which was x-rayed at the checkpoint in Armenia, and then they were passed onto a second truck, which actually made the bridge crossing. The second truck has TWO rear axles on the cab, and this was the truck that exploded while driving over the Crimean Bridge. The second truck was never x-rayed. Both have a red cab, adding to the confusion. Notice, in the pictures of the x-rayed truck, there is one rear axle on the cab, but in the video of the truck being inspected before crossing the crimean bridge, there are two rear axles on the cab. This video is of the FIRST truck.


---------------------‐------------------------------
New footage of the movement of the truck that exploded on the Crimean bridge

The recording shows how the customs officers of the checkpoint in Armenia check the waybills of the driver. The X-ray monitor clearly shows the contours of pallets with construction film, in which, according to the FSB, the explosives were hidden.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #YURI: #Artemovsk Doomsday - published at 6:51 on 14 Oct 2022⚡️

The fighting for #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut) is entering its climactic stage. The enemy in this direction is seriously exhausted, our units have penetrated deep into the city and are storming the main defensive line, and therefore the AFU command requires urgent reinforcements, otherwise the fall of the city will not only be inevitable, but will happen very quickly.

And here is where a very unpleasant fork of decisions emerges for Ze-k (Zelensky) and his gang. Surrendering a major city to the enemy would collapse the myth of an all-conquering Ukrainian army, without which Western aid could be curtailed. It would also be a blow to the image of the authorities inside the country and against the backdrop of a stalled front an unpleasant hint of future defeats.

And this is where they have to make a choice. Either withdraw their units from #Zaporozhye and #Svatovo and reinforce the grouping near Artemovsk, or invest all their forces in a final strike.

The game is very risky. And what Ze-k chooses, I think, we will see by the end of the week.

At the same time they received orders to retreat from the fighting. The only escape route was the
a small wooded area behind the house. Knowing that it had been mined by our troops, they went there anyway and started to walk along the cemetery in Yampol.
Soldiers divided into two groups and went to different sides (to the right and to the left).
They temporarily lost contact with each other. But in the end, they passed as if they were under Christ.
The only problem was our Allied mortar men who thought
that the Pack was an enemy DRG. The mortar men got active, which was actually
was actually both bad and good at the same time. Because following our
behind our guys in the forests were about 100 AFU fighters.
Eventually our guys from the "Pack" made it to their own. They made it through all the
difficulties. Having walked 10 kilometres through a mine-laden forest while wounded.
Having withstood every blow from the enemy. They won.
Later they were evacuated to Svatovo.
Now they are being treated in hospitals in our vast country.

Continued--

And even after that - they are raring to go into battle.
They are striving for Victory. For our Great Motherland.

Sincerely yours Ꙃavastny, as well as Putin's subordinate!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Kherson: Situation at Posad-Pokrovskoye at 11:00 on 14 Oct 2022⚡️

▪️ The Ukrainian command is preparing for an offensive on Ternovye Pody and #Pravdino. The forces of the BTGr of the AFU´s 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade are concentrated in the #Galitsinovo - #Lymany area.

▪️ During the night, a large convoy of armoured vehicles and trucks with ammunition passed through the Korabelny district of #Nikolaev, heading towards the front line.

▪️ During the night, AFU reconnaissance teams used drones to reconnoitre positions of Russian forces in the Ternovye Pody area. Russian soldiers shot down five Leleka-100 and Furiya UAVs.

▪️ AFU army aviation helicopters fired several volleys of unguided missiles at Russian positions.

▪️ It is very likely that the Ukrainian command will conduct an offensive in two areas at the same time, in the Ternovye Pody and #Pravdino areas. In case an assault near #Bashtanka fails, two more BTGr reserves are in reserve.

Forwarded from Southwind

Many experts in both the public sphere and the Ministry of Defense, are studying the question of how to increase Russian army effectiveness in the here and now.

I was presented with the opportunity (https://news.1rj.ru/str/south0wind/1549) to study the Boyd Cycle (aka the OODA Loop: observe - orient - decide - act) in the context of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. This was before Yerevan lost the war.

In the context of the RF Armed Forces, the lack of technical reconnaissance and target designation means immediately comes to the fore. Solving this problem will immediately increase the effectiveness of the "observation" stage.

If each command and control body and individual commanders proceeded from this principle of quick decision making using available resources, rather than the basis of rigid regulations and directives, our force effectiveness would increase.

The OODA loop comes into play when developing combat planning documents, which during the Second World War, if the situation required it, were worked out by hand and on the knee.

This also applies to the notorious ROK (Reconnaissance Fires Complex) and RUK (Reconnaissance Strike Complex)

The entire war machine must learn to think faster.
