Ukraine Uncensored Network❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 A few days ago, the White House announced the provision of a new military aid package to Ukraine, which included an unnamed amount of ammunition of various calibers, precision-guided missiles and uniforms, and river boats.🔻Why is the specific number of transferred weapons not indicated?If earlier the Americans indicated the exact number of shells and shots for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, now the situation is different. In the press releases of the White House and the Pentagon, only the type and name are present. To some extent, this may be due to the presence of problems in the production of ammunition - in the West, military-industrial capacities have been intensified to replenish stocks. And the lack of specific data is intended to hide the existing shortage.At the same time, it is possible that in the United States they simply comply with the requirements of secrecy, saying only what the public needs to know. Each official announcement of a new package comes weeks (sometimes months) after the actual handover. However, thanks to such press releases, one can understand the immediate plans of the Ukrainian authorities, and the appearance of boats in the list is not accidental.🔻Why were the boats handed over?Boats are actively used by Ukrainian formations for forcing rivers and water barriers. They are agile, fast and have a large range. Depending on the type of boat, both the speed and the number of personnel transported vary.The latest military aid package does not specify the type or quantity, so theoretically it could be absolutely any riverine boat type and in quite a large number.🔻How will they be used?Earlier, we wrote that before preparing for the main offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are considering the scenario of conducting several false attacks on the left bank of the Dnieper to divert Russian troops and hinder their ability to maneuver and transfer to other sectors.And the situation has not changed much since then. Over the past few months, Ukrainian formations have been continuously conducting aerial reconnaissance from the Kinburn Spit to Energodar. In various parts of the left bank of the Dnieper, DRGs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting sorties, just using small-sized boats.The new batch, in an unspecified quantity, will most likely be distributed among units near the Dnieper and the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir. A little over a month ago, several boats were already delivered to the port of Kherson.🔻So the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for an operation on the left bank?According to the characteristic features, everything looks exactly like this. On the right bank, from Ochakov to Nikopol, there are up to 15 thousand people from various units of the regular army and the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In Bereznegovatoy, 63 OMBRs are under resupply, and in Mikhailovka, northwest of Nikolaev, the 22nd mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is being formed.The activity of reconnaissance drones has increased along the Dnieper. At least two Scan Eagle UAVs operate from Ochakov on a permanent basis. Turkish UAVs "Bayraktar" are on patrol from the airfields of Kulbakino and Kanatovo.Also, from the vicinity of Krivoy Rog and Voznesensk, tactical planes and helicopters of the army aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fly daily along the Dnieper, and firing positions of the MLRS are also equipped. They conduct combined shelling of positions of the RF Armed Forces with unguided missiles and rockets.🔻When will the attack happen?Western curators are driving the leadership of Ukraine into the offensive. The leaders of the NATO countries need to demonstrate the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and their weapons at the front. The offensive will most likely begin after the ground hardens and the armored vehicles can move freely.On the eve of the assault, DRG sorties are activated in various areas, including in the Kherson region, to mislead and divert attention from the main direction.Strikes on rear targets with high-precision weapons will resume, and engineering units will begin to prepare the area for the advance of troops and equipment. In addition, bridge layers for these purposes have already been delivered.Mar 23, 2023
Ukraine Uncensored Network🇬🇧🇺🇦 Recently, the military commander of the RT channel Igor Zhdanov @zhdanovrt published an article about the battles in Ugledar. His report well demonstrates the difficulties that the RF Armed Forces sometimes encounter during assault operations.▪️The city, built up with high-rise buildings, is located on a hill almost in an open field. Therefore, from the upper floors of buildings, the surroundings are visible at a glance.The problem is especially relevant in winter, when plantings are without foliage. Because of this, all objects contrasting with the environment are even more clearly visible in the thermal imager.▪️The shelters equipped in the city center cover the neighboring high-rise buildings, so it is extremely difficult to hit them. There is a clear example in the frame with a pair of BMP-2s: they stand behind the building on the north side of the front and are protected from fire by the Russian Armed Forces.▪️The video often flashes shots of anti-tank guided missiles firing at observation posts and positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the upper floors of skyscrapers. In fact, any window easily becomes a firing point, where the enemy can place a machine gunner, a sniper pair or an ATGM operator.Under these conditions, the assault on Ugledar is a rather difficult task. A frontal attack is fraught with huge losses, even if all city skyscrapers are destroyed.The only option remains to capture the city and cut all supply lines, followed by a simultaneous strike from several sides.Mar 23, 2023

Ukraine Uncensored Network❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 A little over an hour ago, Russian troops attacked the Shkolny airfield in Odessa, where Ukrainian Mugin-5 kamikaze drones and Tu-141 Strizh jet UAVs are based.According to unconfirmed information, the hit fell on one of the hangars, where the final assembly and retrofitting of reconnaissance and conventional commercial UAVs with a warhead took place.It was from this airfield that the Ukrainian Mugins were launched yesterday to strike various targets in Dzhankoy on the Crimean peninsula, including the railway station.However, yesterday's attack was only a test of the readiness of the Russian air defense before a larger raid.🔻What are we talking about?In the near future, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine planned to deliver a massive blow to the Crimea. In recent days, drones of various types, mainly Chinese Mugin-5, have been actively transported to Odessa on the territory of Shkolny. At the airfield, they intended to reflash them and prepare them for an attack on the Crimea.Since the beginning of March, Ukrainian units have been testing the Grom-2 operational-tactical missile system at the Tuzla test site. On March 4, at the airfield in Gvardeisky, they probably tried to strike with these OTRK.Testing of Grom-2 then continued right at the training ground. Missile launches were carried out on conditional targets in the Black Sea. According to the latest data, in the vicinity of Tuzly, a position area has been equipped for several installations of the Grom-2 OTRK: the option of using new complexes for combined strikes against Russia is not ruled out.❗️Against the backdrop of these events, in the Black Sea off the coast of Romania, the exercises of the joint naval forces of NATO "Sea Shield - 2023" are being held. As part of the contingent involved, reconnaissance aircraft and drones are used.The drill is a suitable cover for other maneuvers. For example, the covert transfer of forces and assets to areas of interest and the possibility of reconnaissance under the legend of general training. Given the presence of maritime drones among the Ukrainian forces, the NATO naval exercises would be an ideal cover for sabotage in and around Sevastopol.During March 21, east of Romania, the American MQ-9A Reaper UAV was involved almost the entire day (it took off from the Kympia-Turziy airbase). Toward evening, the strategic UAV RQ-4B Global Hawk replaced it. Now the UAV is located in the central part of the Black Sea.🔻It is not yet clear how severely damaged Ukrainian facilities in Shkolnoye were as a result of the Russian strike. Even if at least one of the hangars is destroyed, the damage will be quite noticeable: the Armed Forces of Ukraine can adjust their plans.However, now the Ukrainian authorities are chasing an information victory, and they may try to repeat yesterday's scenario, placing great emphasis on dispersing panic among Russians.And for the attack itself, the option of using alternative airfields cannot be ruled out, as was the case at the beginning of this year, when an UAV from Shiroky in the Zaporozhye region was used in an attempt to destroy an oil depot near Nizhnegorsky.Mar 22, 2023

Ukraine Uncensored Network🇺🇸🇺🇦💀 Among the American mercenaries of the "International Legion" there are many combat veterans for whom war is the meaning of life, be it Afghanistan, Mali or Ukraine. One of them is Jim Eric Hutton.▪️The American is 33 years old, he comes from a military family: his grandfather fought in Vietnam, his father participated in the Iraqi company and until 2021 was assistant secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs.▪️Jim followed in the footsteps of his family: from 2009 to 2011 he served in the Marine Corps, was twice on business trips in Afghanistan. After the army, he served briefly in the French Foreign Legion.▪️In April 2022, Hutton went to Ukraine for new sensations. At first, he pretended to be a doctor, but soon he was noticed in the ranks of the sabotage group Black Team of the International Legion.In recent months, the detachment has suffered significant losses: the mercenaries Simon Lingard, James Hildebrandt, Daniel Swift have been eliminated, and Troy Offenbecker has fled from Ukraine. Despite this, Jim Eric Hatton remains in the ranks of the Black Team in the Bakhmut direction.Mar 22, 2023
Ukraine Uncensored Network🇨🇳🇬🇧 Today, March 21, The New York Times published an article with another investigation into the supply of Chinese dual-use technologies to Russia. The material is written according to Politico patterns - journalists draw conclusions on the basis of Russian customs data, which were received from a “third party”.As Rybar rightly pointed out, until recently, the only possible way to obtain such information was to buy it from people working in this field. But after the news about the resumption of the publication of customs data, Western journalists will not even have to pay anyone to continue to put pressure on foreign companies by publishing such "reliable" materials.🔻 What is the article about?▪️ Over the year, China sold more than $12 million worth of drones and spare parts to Russia.▪️ Deliveries of drones and spare parts for them were carried out through small intermediaries and exporters. Kazakhstan, Pakistan and Belarus act as informal trade channels.▪️ Delivery descriptions may be intentionally vague or underestimate the total amount of goods shipped, so the number of drones and their parts may be even higher.▪️ It is not known if the drones used American-made components.▪️ In total, about 70 Chinese companies sold 26 brands of Chinese drones to Russia. The first in terms of sales was the DJI brand, the second - Autel.Of course, anyone can refer to third party data. Last time, journalists from Politico at least indicated the name of the company that provided information about the supply of Chinese weapons.Moreover, the Western media seems to confuse commercial drone purchases by individuals with official deliveries. Therefore, this article should be taken as another reason to create a negative information background in the context of Xi Jinping's visit to Russia and his meeting with Vladimir Putin.Mar 21, 2023
