🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Volchansk, Kharkov region. Report by veteran war correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny

"Volchansk is currently one of the hottest spots in the entire SMO zone. Together with the daring guys, we flew into the city. Here's a brief video note for now.

Importantly, a new twist in the war is that there is no fog on the battlefield. Both we and the enemy monitor the front and nearby rear areas around the clock. The sky is crowded with UAVs. It's no longer possible to discreetly bring in reserves, carry out rotations, or conduct evacuations. There are always eyes watching, and we have to live with that. But the time from detection to impact has been minimized.

Moreover, it is now impossible for personnel to gather. An immediate strike follows. Buildings are simply taken apart down to the foundation. This works both ways.

The enemy must be driven out of Volchansk not only because it's Russian land. The enemy has turned the city into a base for attacks on our civilians, which means the enemy cannot stay there even temporarily. The Russian army is pressing the enemy and doing so very professionally. Kiev has taken dozens of measures that would stop any army, but not our country's army. Watch the video.

P.S. By the way, it's a good sign when disassembled Ukrainian military equipment stands at the entrance."

🇺🇦'There are not enough places in cemeteries in Ukraine"

'In November 2022 we said goodbye, but we couldn't bury him. We were waiting for the National Memorial Cemetery, and now we are at a loss and don't know what to do. The urn with ashes is at home. Places in the cemetery, well, I wouldn’t call it a worthy gift from the state. Local cemeteries are occupied, there is no space, burials take place somewhere under fences'

Counter-battery AN/TPQ-37 Firefinder radar was successfully defeated by a low-observable Lancet-3 kamikaze UAV in one of the SMO operational areas.

This is a higher energy modification of the AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radar, which has a much more powerful microwave clistron and PESA area, and whose transmitting and receiving modules operate in the frequency range from 2 to 8 GHz.

This radar is capable of calculating the positions of 152mm artillery and 120mm mortars at distances of 30-35 km and 220/300mm MLRS ‘Uragan’ and ‘Smerch’ at distances of 45 and 55 km respectively, detecting the projectiles at the initial segments of the ascending branches of the trajectory and constructing the trajectories of their flight. The accuracy of determining the coordinates of artillery firing positions is about 35 metres, which is quite sufficient to launch a counter-battery strike.

The angular field of view of this radar varies from 0 to 90 degrees, the azimuthal field of view is about 60 degrees, while the narrow beam scanning area has parameters of 2x1.7 degrees. The AN/TPQ-37 radar can simultaneously track up to 10 artillery shells and determine the firing positions of their guns, while the data on 100 artillery shells and their firing positions can be loaded into the storage device.

Consequently, we are talking about the loss by the AFU artillery units of an essential tool for counter-battery warfare in one of their operational areas.

🪖 Rostec’s “tosochki” operate in the NVO zone on targets that are inaccessible to artillery and tanks.

The TOS-2 Tosochka heavy flamethrower system is effectively used by the Russian military during a special operation. These vehicles have captured dozens of enemy strongholds.

TOS-2 is a kind of “younger sister” of TOS-1A, only on a wheelbase. The tracked "Solntsepek" with greater maneuverability is used in more difficult areas. And if you need to throw a gun over long distances, including along a highway, then the “Tosochka” is used. By the way, it uses both its own shells and those from its “big brother” TOS-1A.

Thanks, among other things, to the support of TOS, the counter-offensive of Ukrainian troops was stopped in 2023. The fire systems with their attacks constrained the enemy’s actions, ensuring the stability of the positions of the Russian army.

This Doesn’t Sound Good

Both Rep. Eli Crane and Mark Zaid, who litigates international lobbying deals for the US Government, say the CIA is hiding a weapon that’s “Designed is to make the target feel like they're crazy, like they're imagining things, especially on the low duration, the low intensity long duration hits.”

Rep. Eli Crane “Guys, if your assessments here are correct, these are very covert weapons. Aren't they? They don't leave behind bomb fragments, bullet holes, etcetera. They could absolutely be used by our adversaries and have very low levels of, um, very easy to deny that they were even there, that they were used. Is that correct?”

Mark Zaid “That's correct. Um, there's no entry or exit wound. How they're designed is to make the target feel like they're crazy, like they're imagining things, especially on the low duration, the low intensity long duration hits.”

Rep. Eli Crane “But you were saying that the targets are most often always either CIA, FBI, intelligence, law enforcement individuals. Is that correct?”

Mark Zaid “No. I said, diplomats, intelligence community, and Department of Defense make up the lion's share. You often don't hear about the Department of Defense despite DOD having 5 or 10 times the number of survivors that Department of State has.”

Rep. Eli Crane “Thank you for that correction, sir. And you guys also said that these attacks are happening right here in this city. Is that correct?”

Mark Zaid “Yes.”

Rep. Eli Crane “Can you expand on that a little bit more?”

Mark Zaid “I mean, there have been some that have gone public with respect to Washington DC. The particularly credible ones, and I'm not saying that those are not credible, but the ones that have received the most attention on the inside of the intelligence community are in Northern Virginia, and they are particularly of CIA personnel.”

Rep. Eli Crane “I think it was mister you mister Grozev said, you spoke to a Russian agent who said that they believe that Americans are using these same weapons on them. Is that correct?”

Mark Zaid “That is correct. Back in the eighties.”

Rep. Eli Crane “Might that have something to do, um, with part of the CIA's motto to cover up the existence of the this tech and these weapons?”

Mark Zaid “That is a very logical possibility.”

An entertaining episode of a radio game. Our people from the Caucasus had a suspicion that the Ukrainians would listen to their channel. A fighter with a good command of Ukrainian was found, who made the Ukrainians burn down. Reserve videos in the TG channel

⚡️🇷🇺New defense chief Belousov gets consecrated at the famed temple of the Russian Armed Forces.
The head of the Russian Ministry of Defense Andrei Belousov participates in a service in the main temple of the Russian Armed Forces. Deputy Defense Minister Viktor Goremykin and military personnel are also present there. The liturgy was led by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus'. The service is broadcast live on our website.

➡️ Some were captured alive, as far as I understand.

The clothing and weapons are of Shayetet Unit 13, which is the highest elite unit in the Israeli army. The weapon shown in the video is the Czech CZ Scorpion EVo, which is used only by elite special units!

This is why you shouldn't believe all the videos of fake Russian losses coming out of Ukraine. This is about the 3rd or so time I've seen Ukrainians faking losses with dummy bodies. Read below:

⚡️😂⚡️Akhmat fighters found a Ukrainian Armed Forces "field television studio" with dummies of bodies of Russian military personnel

While advancing through Serebryansky forestry in the direction of Kremensky, a stronghold was found with dummies of the bodies of military personnel in Russian uniforms, as well as fragments of Russian equipment, paint simulating blood and other props.
Apti Alaudinov, commander of Special Forces "Akhmat," deputy head of the main directorate for political-military work of the RF Ministry of Defense, told about it.

We actually discovered there a kind of studio where fakes were produced, where these TsIPsOsh films were made about how they destroy Russian units.
It turns out that our enemy, being unable to fight against us, having neither the strength nor the means , not even a soul, does everything to at least shoot TsIPsOsh films and upload them to the Internet, supposedly demonstrating to someone how they are destroying so many Russian soldiers," Alaudinov said⚡️😂⚡️
