Old photos have grown old. There was a need to make new ones, but something went wrong.

On the approach to Crimea, a flotilla of 14 Ukrainian landing boats was destroyed
On September 18, 2023, the forces of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation repelled an aggressive action of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) against the Crimean Peninsula. Ukrainian troops, having previously concentrated their forces on the island of Zmeiny, tried to carry out an amphibious landing on the western coast of Crimea.

According to Mikhail Zvinchuk, the Russian side detected the movement of 14 Ukrainian boats in advance and immediately took measures to neutralize them. Su-24 bombers were sent to the area of a possible landing, which attacked the target using RBK-500 cluster munitions. The effective use of aviation led to damage to several boats, which forced the remaining vessels to stop the offensive and return to base.

In parallel with the attempted sea landing, the Ukrainian side tried to use unmanned aerial vehicles for reconnaissance and possible attacks. However, thanks to the operational actions of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division and the use of modern electronic warfare systems, this threat was prevented. In total, six drones were destroyed, as previously reported by Avia journalists.about already reported.

The initial launch site of the drones is of interest: the analysis of their routes and the location of detection points to the Odessa region or offshore drilling rigs in the Black Sea.

На подходе к Крыму уничтожена флотилия из 14 украинских десантных катеров

What else could you expect from terrorists? They mine the corpses of their own fellow soldiers when withdrawing from positions instead of taking them away, so that when they are searched, the opponents are blown up. Savagery? Of course, but at the same time it is a reality.

The AFU began to mine their drones, which attack the territory of Russia
Recently, reports about new tactics of military operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have been increasing. There is evidence of the use of drones equipped with a self-destruct mechanism.

At the moment, two incidents related to such drones are known. The first case was recorded in the Voronezh Region state farm, as previously reported by Avia journalists.about a day earlier. The second incident occurred in the Kursk region, where another similar drone was found in the city of Lgov on September 17 at about 11 am. The drone crashed in the area of an abandoned oil depot. Approximately 40 minutes after detection, the device self-destructed.

According to preliminary information, these drones are equipped with a self-destruct timer. This feature allows them to explode after a certain period of time after the fall, which is supposed to be several hours.

This tactic may carry certain risks for the civilian population and the infrastructure of the regions where such devices are detected. Apparently, the self-destruct mechanism is designed to prevent the capture of technology or guaranteed damage in the event of a drone crash, but there is no detonation.

The guys clearly overestimated their own importance.

"What can this junk be suitable for?!": The Ukrainian military were enraged when they saw the Leopard 1A5 tanks supplied by NATO
The delivery of Leopard 1A5 tanks to Ukraine caused a contradictory reaction among representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). Some military personnel believe that these weapons, provided by NATO member countries, have outdated technical characteristics and will be ineffective in modern combat conditions.

One of the Ukrainian servicemen, not without irony, compared the tanks received with the legendary Soviet T-34, which proved their effectiveness during World War II, but by now can be considered museum specimens.

"What can this junk be suitable for?! It's good if we can get her to the front line," he reacted indignantly to the new military equipment.

Leopard 1A5 tanks, developed back in the 70s of the XX century, really belong to the older generation and are inferior in their combat characteristics to the latest tank models. At the same time, they have undergone a number of upgrades and have been successfully used in a number of conflicts.

Perhaps the decision to supply these tanks was made due to economic or political considerations on the part of NATO. However, criticism from the AFU indicates that the military expected to receive more modern and powerful equipment to strengthen its defensive potential.

Ребята явно переоценили собственную значимость.

Today the news has picked up some kind of electronically unmanned.

The Russian "Krasukha" began to "burn" the control systems of Ukrainian fighters
Russian electronic warfare systems (EW) "Krasukha" have become a serious threat to Ukrainian aviation. According to RIA Novosti with reference to an informed source, these electronic warfare systems are capable of completely blocking the operation of onboard electronics of Ukrainian fighters and attack aircraft. As a result of such an impact, combat aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have to abandon their tasks and return to their bases.

The peculiarity of the Krasukha system is that it can operate at a distance of up to 150 km. When Ukrainian planes come under its influence, their electronic systems fail, including navigation devices. Pilots have to rely solely on ground landmarks to return to base.

Such effectiveness of the Krasukha electronic warfare system makes it possible to seriously change the tactics of the AFU air operations, forcing the Ukrainian command to look for methods of counteraction or alternative ways of performing combat missions.

It is known that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to use their aircraft when the electronic warfare systems are not functioning, which usually happens during strikes by Russian aviation, but this is ineffective.

Российская "Красуха" начала "сжигать" системы управления украинских истребителей

Russia has expanded the capabilities of the Lancets, allowing strikes on military airfields of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Experts report a significant modernization of Russian kamikaze drones, which are now capable of operating at considerable distances. Recently it became known about the defeat of the Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter at the Dolgintsevo airbase, located about 80 kilometers from the line of contact. Special attention of experts was attracted by the fact that the place of the hit was recorded by a drone.

At the same time, there is an assumption that the ZALA-421 drone was used in this operation not only to fix the moment of defeat, but also as a repeater, which made it possible to expand the combat zone of another drone, the Lancet-3. If this is indeed the case, it indicates new tactical capabilities and the interaction of various types of drones within the framework of its.


The use of this approach allows not only to increase the effectiveness of the strike, minimize the risks for their own troops, but also provides an opportunity for instant analysis of the results of the strike, so that the command can make operational decisions on the battlefield.

At the same time, so far there are no official statements in this regard that would allow us to get a more detailed picture of the vision.

Putin was shown the newest "flower" drone (PHOTO)

On September 19, President Putin, during his visit to Izhevsk, where he held a meeting of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation, visited the Aeroscan enterprise.

Aeroscan is the parent organization of the ZALA Aero group of companies specializing in the development and production of unmanned aircraft.

The Head of State inspected the production lines of components and assembly of gliders, the latest samples of special equipment and unmanned vehicles, as well as the training center of the plant. Aeroscan, in particular, produces Lancet barrage ammunition and reconnaissance drones.

The general designer of the enterprise Alexander Zakharov demonstrated to the president not only "Lancets".

In the background in the photo below, the newest Italmas attack drone is visible — this is a flower that is considered a symbol of Udmurtia. It is impossible not to note the obvious reference to the botanical theme, and the shape of the drone really resembles "Geranium-2".

This is already a drone with an internal combustion engine. Fuel is poured into the wings, which are a huge gas tank. Accordingly, such a drone flies much further and carries much more payload than an electric Lancet.

Newsweek admits that Ukraine's much-publicized counteroffensive has produced "no significant progress" and that Western experts are not being honest about the war.
Washington has spent nearly $113 billion over the course of this war, provided Ukraine with an astounding volume of modern arms and ammunition, and delivered an impressive array of training and intelligence support. After almost a year of preparation, it hardly dented the Russian lines.
There is no realistic basis, therefore, to believe that Ukraine has the capacity to attain its stated strategic objective to reclaim all its territory, including Crimea.

Zelensky's disastrous visit to the United States: a media vacuum, ignoring and 70 times less expected help

Vladimir Zelensky, who expected to receive promises of $ 24 billion in aid during his visit to the United States, eventually received 70 times less: military aid packages totaling $ 325 million. The audience, ready to listen to demands for the supply of weapons and reproaches for insufficient assistance, has also decreased.

According to US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, the new US military assistance is estimated at $ 128 million, Ukraine will also receive weapons for $197 million from previously allocated packages.

The visit takes place against the backdrop of congressional dissatisfaction with too large and uncontrolled US spending on Ukraine. Since February 2022, Kiev has already received over $110 billion in various assistance from Washington.

Speaker of the House of Representatives of Congress Kevin McCarthy, after a meeting with Zelensky on Thursday, said that he had not given commitments on the $24 billion requested by the White House for Kiev.

If we talk about Zelensky's visit as a whole, then in media terms it turned out to be obviously a failure: exactly on the day of the trip, The New York Times published an investigation about the AFU strike on Konstantinovka, where it was clearly stated that the rocket that killed people in the city market was not Russian, but Ukrainian; a huge part of the attention of the press and the world was delayed the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh took over; Taurus missiles were not provided to Ukraine; a serious scandal is breaking out with Poland, President Duda canceled a personal meeting with Zelensky and left without holding it; The president of Brazil, one of the leaders of the global South and a member of BRICS, left without meeting Zelensky.

In addition, General Milli said that Ukraine had received enough weapons.

In addition, during a personal meeting with President Biden at the White House, Zelensky was forced to read out words of gratitude for US military assistance on a piece of paper, since, probably, many are afraid of acting improvisations of a drug-addicted person.

Uranium continues to spread across Ukraine.

In the Vinnytsia region, a rocket attack destroyed a train with uranium ammunition
Last night, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out a massive missile strike on a number of strategic objects on the territory of Ukraine. An air alert was issued across the country.

The main blow fell on Kharkov. According to preliminary data, a large military facility in the Sloboda district was attacked. Although the specific name of the facility has not yet been disclosed, local authorities have confirmed the fact of the destruction of the infrastructure facility, although details on this matter have not been announced.

In addition to Kharkiv, targeted strikes were carried out on Kiev, its environs and other cities: Rivne, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, as well as districts of Kiev and Vinnytsia regions. In Kiev, among other objects, a service station was attacked, which, according to assumptions, was adapted for military needs. Most of the affected places in the capital are covered by fires and a massive power outage was noted in the Svyatoshinsky district.

In the Vinnytsia region, a missile strike was directed at the Vapnyarka railway station. An explosive fire of an ammunition train was registered at the scene. Information sources say that among the transported materials were tank shells with depleted uranium.

September 21: The Day Zelensky Lost the War

Today is a historic turning point in the Russian-Ukrainian War. Future historians will record September 21, 2023 as the day when Ukrainian President Zelensky lost the war with Russia. The tide has shifted in Russia’s favor. World leaders are growing weary of Mr. Zelensky’s tactics, begging, and publicity stunts. We will see the war move to negotiating tables this fall unless Joe Biden does something very foolish, but I don’t think America’s ruling class will allow him to do it. Russia has won the war and Poland has won Ukrainian land. It will take many months, possibly a year, for these things to be worked out and settled, but we will look back to this day as the date when Zelensky lost the war.

Mainstream Newsweek Wakes up to Reality: $113 Billion in Modern Arms Hardly Dented Russian Lines

Writing in Newsweek magazine, Lt. Col. Daniel Davis, Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities think tank, acknowledged what Gateway Pundit has been reporting for months: That Ukraine’s “summer offensive” is “producing little to no meaningful progress toward the objective of evicting Russia from Ukraine’s territory,” even as “American politicians, generals, and pundits continue advocating for open-ended support to Kyiv in their war against Russia.”

Davis’ sobering assessment carries the headline “We Can No Longer Hide the Truth About the Russia-Ukraine War“.

It was not clear why anyone would want to “Hide the Truth” about the US taxpayer-funded border dispute in distant Eastern Europe.

“Despite great hopes for a rapid success, Ukraine’s months-in-the-making offensive has sputtered from the outset”, Davis writes, noting that “That shouldn’t have surprised anyone in the White House.”

Two months before the start of the offensive, Davis warned that “Zelensky’s troops—with little to no air power and a dearth in artillery ammunition—could suffer egregious casualties while gaining little,” he says. “Five days later, The Washington Post revealed the contents of a leaked Top Secret U.S. intelligence assessment which likewise predicted the Ukrainian offensive would probably fall ‘well short’ of expectations, and that ‘enduring Ukrainian deficiencies in training and munitions supplies probably will strain progress and exacerbate casualties during the offensive.’”

Rand Paul Announces He Will Oppose Any Federal Funding Package That Includes More Ukraine Aid
Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul said he would move to hold up any spending bill providing more money to Ukraine as the deadline for Congress to fund the federal government approaches.

Rand Paul just stood up for the taxpayer regarding aid to Ukraine
Ukraine has received billions of dollars in aid from the United States to help with its war with Russia. Despite this, Democrats in Congress want to send even more to the war-torn country. And they are willing to do so even if it means a government shutdown in this country.

It’s a fiscally irresponsible move and detrimental to the U.S., and it’s precisely why Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) declared he would not support any more aid to Ukraine.

“I rise to put the leadership of the House, the Senate, and the president of the United States on notice. I will not consent to any expedited passage of any spending bill that provides any more American aid to Ukraine,” Paul said in a press release from Sept. 20. “It’s as if no one has noticed that we have no extra money to send to Ukraine. Our deficit this year will exceed $1.5 trillion.”

Paul is correct and should be applauded for his statements. What has happened in Ukraine is tragic, and innocent people are suffering because of the tyrannical whims of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nevertheless, it is not the nation’s responsibility to fund the war in Ukraine. Politicians in this country have a duty to do what’s best for the public, not Ukrainians.

“As elected officials, we have an obligation to pursue a foreign policy that advances the security and prosperity of our country. Funneling billions of dollars that have to be borrowed into the meat grinder of eastern Ukraine does neither,” Paul’s press release read. “The longer this conflict continues, the greater the risk that miscalculation or purposeful escalation draws the United States into direct conflict with Russia.”

Two interesting takes by Josh Hawley although the logic he applies to Ukraine he throws out the window regarding China:

After a closed-door meeting on Ukraine last night, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) slammed calls for indefinite funding from the U.S.

Another view:

Dont Mistake Cracks In the Biden Facade For Impending Surrender on Ukraine

We are seeing the classic signs of the growing discontent within some key sectors of the military and intelligence bureaucracy over the Biden policy towards Ukraine (I will touch on those in a minute), but the Biden national security team continues to stridently insist insist it will back Ukraine to the bitter end. However, despite the tough talk, Biden continues to balk on sending some weapon systems that could transform the Special Military Operation into a full blown war with Russia.

I am posting the video of Jake Sullivan’s press conference today on Biden’s meeting with Zelensky to illustrate this point. It lasts about 30 minutes and is worth listening to both for what is said and what is not.

Let me start by explaining what I meant by “classic signs” that there no longer is consensus within the U.S. national security agencies about what to do in Ukraine. Last week I wrote about the briefing DIA’s Director of Analysis provided to some key media outlets. He presented the Administration line dressed up as “DIA intelligence.” Today we have Sy Hersh’s latest report — Zelensky’s Bad Moment — that reveals there are important contrarian voices in the ranks of the CIA:

There are significant elements in the American intelligence community, relying on field reports and technical intelligence, who believe that the demoralized Ukraine army has given up on the possibility of overcoming the heavily mined three-tier Russian defense lines and taking the war to Crimea and the four oblasts seized and annexed by Russia. The reality is that Volodymyr Zelensky’s battered army no longer has any chance of a victory.

The war continues, I have been told by an official with access to current intelligence, because Zelensky insists that it must. There is no discussion in his headquarters or in the Biden White House of a ceasefire and no interest in talks that could lead to an end to the slaughter. “It’s all lies,” the official said, speaking of the Ukrainian claims of incremental progress in the offensive that has suffered staggering losses, while gaining ground in a few scattered areas that the Ukrainian military measures in meters per week.

This is a typical leak when there are strong disagreements about a policy and its purported success, in this case the leaks concern Ukraine. But this type of disagreement does not mean the Biden team is ready to do a volte face and find a way to end the conflict. To the contrary, I think they are doubling down on doing everything they can to keep the war going.

Jake Sullivan is delusional. Consider this portion of his remarks to the press:

Well, let’s define success kind of stepping back for a moment. Number one Kiev stands, Kharkiv stands, Kherson stands. Major cities of Ukraine are not under Russian domination and occupation today because first and foremost of the bravery of the Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines and the people the Ukrainian people who are supporting them. But also, in no small part, because of the material assistance we have provided and that is a significant fact.

Second Ukraine is in fact taking back territory. It is doing so methodically step by step and the weapons that we have provided have allowed them to de-occupy (sic) more territory in the last 3 months than the Russians were able to take in 8 months over the course of its fall and winter offensive last year. So we will keep at this and we believe that the weapons we are providing are helping Ukraine not only make forward progress but also critically defend the territory that they continue to hold against Russian efforts to overrun it and occupy it.

Give Sullivan kudos for being a master of spin. He presents the press with a steaming pile of manure while assuring them it is a delicious plate of chocolate mousse. Slurp it up guys. He starts off with the red-herring that Russia has not yet captured Kharkiv, Kiev or Kherson. A meaningless point, proving nothing, because Russia’s military operations are concentrated on destroying the Ukrainian army — which is losing upwards of 1,000 troops a day — rather than conquering cities. So far Russia regularly bombing critical targets in Kharkiv, Kiev, Kherson, Lviv and Sumy with missiles and drones and Ukraine is impotent to stop those attacks because its air defense is no longer viable.

Sullivan deserves a Burger King crown as a reward to giving the press a Big Whopper by claiming that Ukraine has taken back more territory than Russia has. This is patent nonsense. Someone needs to get a map out and show him Bakhmut, Soledar, Lysyschansk as well as the location of the three defensive lines erected under General Surovikin’s direction a year ago. Is Sullivan really this blind and stupid? Maybe.

Sullivan’s “rah rah” nonsense did not obscure the fact that Biden is not giving Ukraine ATACM missiles. I do not know if that is out of fear of inserting a weapon that could risk Russian escalation or if it is because U.S. military planners want to keep those missiles for themselves as a contingency. I suspect it is the latter. Bureaucrats at the Pentagon still have some clout.

Notice that not a word was said about “Patriot Missile” batteries. That was supposed to be a game changer for Ukraine’s air defense capability. It appears that the units the United States sent have been destroyed or are no longer in working order. Sullivan did claim the United States agreed to send other “air defense” systems to Zelensky but the fact is those are only window dressing. They will do nothing to alter the strategic picture or halt Russian attacks.

The Biden team confirmed that the M1-Abrams tank will make its debut in Ukraine next week. I wonder if London bookies are offering a bet on how long before a video appears on-line of the smoldering wreckage of one of those tanks in some sodden Ukrainian wheat field? If the tanks really do show up next week, we should have proof of the first destroyed Abrams by October 5.

Sullivan is correct that there is a vocal minority on Capitol Hill unwilling to pour more money and military resources into the yawning maw of Ukraine. But there are still more Democrats and Republicans insisting on sending every weapon system to Ukraine that we have in our warehouses and bases. This is madness, but just because it is crazy talk does not mean that the demands will be ignored.

I think the key factor during the next eight weeks will be how much damage Russia inflicts on Ukraine’s remaining military strength and infrastructure. Barring a mass surrender of Ukrainian forces, however, the Biden policy is to keep the war going. Politics is the guiding principle governing the Biden team’s decisions on Ukraine. The American leaders are content, so far, to ignore the military situation on the ground in Ukraine as long as it does not create political problems in the United States. They don’t give a damn about dead and dying Ukrainian soldiers. As long as they are convinced that Ukraine’s attacks on Russia are weakening Putin, Biden and his malevolent advisors will continue to fan the flames of war.

Today, a whistle-stop by Zelensky took place in Ottawa, Canada, on his big gravy train tour. The Headline looks to the welcoming committee:

Canada rolls out red carpet for Zelensky, pledges $650 million in mental health and military aid to Ukraine​

If a comment was made on the above photo, Chrystia looks enthralled, simply in rapture.

Among the welcoming committee was none other than Pierre Poilievre, who was gushing praise while rolling out a senator of Ukraine heritage, who could only manage saying, among a few other platitudes, Slava Ukraini in a bow to the old Bandara crowd, not that many realize what it means.

The Bloc was there under Yves-François Blanchet, and the NDP of course under Jagmeet Singh, who "called him an "inspiration to so many people."First at the plane and not last, though, was Trudeau and his side kick, Freeland, who likely holds a special place in Zelensky's heart.

After Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre exchanged pleasantries with Zelensky, he introduced him to Conservative Senator Denise Batters, also of Ukrainian heritage.

Batters wore an embroidered blouse from her grandmother over a century ago before she emigrated to Canada.

"Slava Ukraini," she said. "Thank you for defending our Ukrainian homeland."

All-in-all, it was a love-in, with the cocaine cowboy's hands open to receive more, much more.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1705246855758577921

To end, Zelensky had some words for his friends:

In a speech to House parties and Senate groups, Zelensky said continued financial support on the battlefield "is crucial" in defeating Russia in southeastern Ukraine.

"Ukraine and Canada are the same. We stand, and we fight for life," he said.

"Freedom will be the winner. Justice will be the winner. You can know this [...] because [...] you would never submit to evil."

Zelensky added that he wants to discover Canada — "your beautiful country" — with his children after the "common victory."

"Moscow must lose, once and for all. And it will lose."

Zelensky's legacy? 400 thousand plus dead, pushing 70 thousand likely without limbs, 10 million refugees, abject poverty and swollen coffers in special places for many.

Today should have been seen as an embarrassment, moreover, an opportunity to make arrests. Instead, praise and more cash and weapons.

It was a hard day to be Canadian, many were a wee bit angry with the big show.
