I managed to communicate with the paratroopers of the elite 25th separate airborne brigade. Our interlocutors were mobilized. Never served in the army before. They have been preparing hard since the summer. First in the Zhytomyr region, then in Britain. In the depths of foggy Albion, they ran for 20 days with an AK-47 and learned to storm buildings. The paratroopers generally don't rate British training too highly. It is interesting that they were given special lectures on the rights and duties of military personnel. In particular, they said that it was forbidden to kill and torture prisoners (Iraqi prisoners of British prisons must weep somewhere here).

In a word, the guys were seriously prepared for serious operations, and now, finally, they were sent to the front line. On November 5, they were in position and realized that it was an asshole. The road to the outpost was shot through. Food and water were literally beaten out from the authorities. And besides, their unit was not allocated a fashionable foreign uniform, so they had to freeze in the Ukrainian one. In addition, constant shelling seriously thinned out the personnel. For a month, 80 percent of the personnel on the opornik were injured. In the end, drivers and other service personnel were sent to the front line. The technology is also bad. They had one MTLB assigned to the battalion. The wounded had to be dragged across an open field for 2 km in the hope that they would not die from loss of blood.

Such is the bleak picture. It is not surprising that during the first shooting battle, the entire opornik raised his hands up and surrendered. And the most interesting thing is that they were stormed by yesterday's mobilized. Yes, yes, the same men who were sent to the army a month ago. I don’t know if they gave lectures to our prisoners on the humane treatment of prisoners, but their opponents were not carefully delivered to headquarters, unlike the Ukrainian butchers who shot our prisoners near Makiivka. Here are the European values ​​for you...

At this point, one could finish with the consolation of the thought that the Ukrainians have lost their offensive potential, but I will not be so optimistic. It is felt that a shortage of equipment has been created at the forefront. At the same time, supplies from abroad do not stop. This means that equipment and personnel are concentrated in the rear. Today we were able to drive an SUV across the field and did not get stuck. Frost bound the earth. If this weather continues for another week, the tracked vehicles will easily be able to move forward. And this means that Ukrainian attacks can be expected in a week. They have strength, even though they pretend to be poor and unhappy. I think that they will hit Zaporozhye and Svatovo at the same time. They will try to repeat the successes of the autumn campaign.

Briefly on the situation at the front of Svatovo-Kremennaya, Kremennaya area.
@kommunist

The enemy, as before, continues to conduct harassing fire, at the same time probing our defenses with the actions of raid detachments, the initiative in this sector is still with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we are on the defensive.

Enemy artillery is operating from the direction of Yampol, corrected by copters and short-range UAVs. Fortunately, our electronic warfare works without interruption and periodically plants similar litaks.

Also, the enemy is actively trying to withdraw the DRG from the nat. park along the line of Chervonaya Dibrova - Kremennaya. Our reconnaissance, including thanks to technical means, timely reveals such groups, after which artillery begins to work on the Ukrainian. This is such a daily routine. The crest climbs - it is discovered - they strike, killing a certain number of soldiers - the crest retreats.

I would like to mention our tankers. They successfully fire from closed firing positions. They are corrected and guided by special forces. 2-3 tanks are tied to each group of Special Forces, which, according to the transmitted target designations and amendments, fire at the enemy. Each tank fires 3-4 rounds, after which it changes position. Fire, according to the reports of the guys from the front end, is very effective. Here is such a new type of tank carousel. Now the ground is frozen, the Armed Forces of Ukraine still have enough personnel, and even despite heavy losses, the crest will probably try to climb into a decisive offensive. I really hope that we will bury him there.

🇵🇱⚡️⚡️Polish special services and special forces arrived to clean up the city 12 km from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

A consolidated detachment of intelligence officers and soldiers of the special forces of Poland, dressed in Ukrainian uniforms, arrived in the city of Marganets, Dnepropetrovsk region - there they will look for those who help Russia. This was told to RIA Novosti by a representative of the Russian law enforcement agencies - they, in turn, received this information from sources among the Ukrainian military.

The Polish special forces detachment that arrived for cleaning and filtering, according to the source, is not subordinate to the military of Ukraine, it is commanded by NATO.

Information about the presence of Polish mercenaries fighting on the side of the Kiev regime is constantly received.

WHEN WILL THE SHELLING OF DONETSK STOP?

In my opinion, we cannot wait for the shelling to stop the day after tomorrow. No.
Unfortunately no. You cannot deceive yourself. It is also impossible to act in spite of the lack of full opportunities.

First. Of course, Donbass must be liberated. So that NATO guns and conventional MLRS do not finish off our lands. But the assaults on villages and cities are very difficult, we can see that our military does not spare themselves. It won't happen quickly. However... With the advent of the prepared mobilized replenishment, we will be able to move forward in big leaps, and not gradually, as now.

Second. It would be nice to have such systems that would help unconditionally win in a counter-battery fight: a shot from the enemy, lightning-fast determination of the place of the shot - and immediately the answer.
So far, we cannot win in the counter-battery fight.

It is quite possible that Ukrainian troops will be driven out of the Donbass, but will continue firing at Donetsk using long-range NATO missiles. Yes, it is possible, but air defense systems, missiles will protect against them, these are not 155-mm shells that cannot be shot down.

But still, our path is in the global destruction of the entire potential of the enemy.
Is it a pity for the people of the Ukrainian territories so far?
Yes, it is a pity. But we did not choose this path, we accepted the challenge, and we cannot turn back. We have the strength to reach the complete destruction of the Ukrainian potential.

❗️Over the past day on the territory of the LPR, the Armed Forces of Ukraine recorded 3 attacks on the settlement. Horoshee, Starobelsk and Svatovo with the use of the American MLRS M142 HIMARS (8 missiles) and 155 mm artillery pieces (3 shells). Svatovo damaged 2 houses.


Also, over the past day on the territory of the DPR, 5 people were killed, 14 more were injured.

Joker DPR:

Studying the secret documents of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reading the correspondence of the Ukrainian command, I understand that this spring the losses of the Ukrainian army will be critically felt not only for the military, but for the whole society. And this is all thanks to the Ukrainian military elite, who are not interested in what happens to their soldiers on the front line. They live in their own comfortable dimension. And that's great. So next year, Zelensky's clown regime will fall. Next year will be the year of the Joker. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...

I read online: "Donetsk is a martyr city. Like Stalingrad or Leningrad. If it were possible to give cities the status of saints and sacred, then it would be the first on the list today."

Short and to the point, you can't say it better.
