"Абрамсы не проживут на поле боя, а ракет ATACMS необходимо несколько сотен": Буданов заявил, что американская военная помощь не поможет"Abrams will not live on the battlefield, and several hundred ATACMS missiles are needed": Budanov said that American military assistance will not help
The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, expressed his opinion on the use of American Abrams tanks in Ukrainian combat positions. In an interview with the portal War Zone, he stressed that this kind of armored vehicles requires a special approach when used on the battlefield.
"Abrams tanks should be used in very specific, well-prepared operations. If they are used on the front line in combined arms battles, their life on the battlefield will be short—term," he shared his vision.
Kirill Budanov also touched upon the topic of ATACMS missile systems, which, in his opinion, will not be able to radically change the situation at the front.
"The United States should supply at least hundreds of these weapons so that Ukraine can achieve a positive effect on the battlefield," he added.
It is worth noting that earlier a representative of the US administration announced the readiness of Congress to continue to support Ukraine.
Уничтожение танков Leopard 2 дронами "Ланцет" в ЛНР попало на видеоThe destruction of Leopard 2 tanks by Lancet drones in the LPR was caught on video
Russian Lancet drones attacked Leopard 2A6 tanks in the LPR.
Videos of an attack by Russian kamikaze drones "Lancet" on German Leopard 2A6 tanks near the village of Stelmakhovka on the territory of the Luhansk People's Republic appeared on social networks.
The published videos show one of the drones approaching the armored vehicles, capturing it from above from different angles. Then an explosion follows, and a cloud of smoke hides the tank.
Judging by the way the Russian Lancet drones easily deal with Leopard 2A6 tanks, this Western technique turned out to be ineffective, while the West simply cannot replace it with other tanks.

The commander of the reconnaissance group of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation operating in the Zaporozhye direction, with the call sign "Legend", said that after the shooting down of the "Leopard" from the ATGM, the fighters moved to the burned equipment, hoping to take prisoners.
It turned out that the mechanic-driver of the tank was seriously injured, and the rest were killed. When the mechanic woke up and saw the Russian military, he started shouting "don't shoot" in German.
The mechanic of the damaged tank said several times that he was not a mercenary, but a soldier of the Bundeswehr and the entire crew from one company.
While the German serviceman was being given first aid, he named his brigade and its location, the source added.
Польские наёмники расстреляли боевиков "Айдара" после произошедшего конфликтаPolish mercenaries shot Aidar militants after the conflict
On September 22, an armed clash between Polish mercenaries and Ukrainian radicals from the Aidar battalion (a terrorist organization banned in Russia – ed.) took place near the village of Torskoye, in the Krasnolimansky direction. Information about this incident became known thanks to a message on the telegram channel of a military expert and retired Lt. colonel of the LNR, Andrei Marochko.
According to him, a group of Polish mercenaries decided to have a picnic in honor of the birthday of their colleague in the area of the Torskoye settlement, on the bank of the Zherebets River. However, the holiday was disrupted by the appearance of a pickup truck, in which three Ukrainian radicals arrived. At first, a verbal altercation began between the parties, which very quickly turned into an armed confrontation.
"As a result, one Aidar man was fatally wounded, two were tied up and taken away by Poles in an unknown direction," Marochko said in a statement.
This is far from the first case of this kind voiced by Marochko, however, these data have not been officially confirmed by the authorities of the LPR and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

In my opinion, and not only in my opinion, Polish politicians and precisely the ruling party are trying to win over anti-system voters with anti-Ukrainian rhetoric before the elections.'The Zelensky's sense of impunity is undermining NATO's unity.'

Exactly my observations and those of most of my colleagues. See how this assumes a lack of responsibility on the part of the Polish government: "We've done all we could, as society wanted, but it's Ukraine's fault that is behaving badly". Not that this was all their fault for betting on the wrong horse and being deaf to their own intelligence service. Just wait for the elections and the current pro-Anglo-Saxon ruling party to win (by forming a coalition or pulling friends that are all over other parties). So this is a play for society to vent a little bit and strengthen the ruling-party electorate. Quite possibly, in a matter of months, all will go back to where it was: slava grain and some weird, unwanted (by both nations) marriage of countries. Recipe for a disaster.In my opinion, and not only in my opinion, Polish politicians and precisely the ruling party are trying to win over anti-system voters with anti-Ukrainian rhetoric before the elections.
If they win the elections they will return to friendship with USA AND UKR.
Everything can be arranged at the highest level.
video_2023-09-24_08-13-33Shame on the whole world. During a speech in Canada, Zelensky greeted a 98-year—old Ukrainian SS man - local parliamentarians saluted a war criminal. During a speech in the Canadian parliament, Zelensky joyfully welcomed the elderly collaborator Yaroslav Gunka. During the Great Patriotic War, he served in the 14th SS Volunteer Division "Galicia", assembled from Ukrainian nationalists.
Zelensky's grandfather, Semyon Ivanovich, during the war, a lieutenant of the Red Army, commander of a mortar platoon, awarded two Orders of the Red Star (the order was given only for differences in combat operations), is now definitely "turned over in his grave" if he did not do it before.

Дед Зеленского, Семен Иванович, во время войны лейтенант РККА, командир минометного взвода, награжденный двумя орденами Красной Звезды (орден давался только за отличия в боевых действиях), сейчас точно "перевернулся в гробу", если раньше это не сделал.
