Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Ukrainian volunteers, western volunteers and others have formed a brigade in Kherson for the liberation of Odessa and Nikolaev. In their words, “we will show no mercy to mercenaries, Ukronazis and the Bandera. They will be destroyed.” — the brigade was formed exclusively from volunteers - citizens of Ukraine. It includes natives and residents not only of Odessa itself, but also of Nikolaev, Kherson, Kiev, Izmail, Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, and other Ukrainian cities, even western ones.

The appearance and equipment of the fighters of this brigade shows that this was not coordinated by the DPR and LPR, but, apparently, by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

"The July 23 missile strike on the port of Odessa destroyed a docked Ukrainian warship as well as a warehouse where Harpoon anti-ship missiles, recently supplied by the US, were stored, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on July 24."

"The Harpoon missiles stored in the warehouse levelled by the Russian strike were a part of a batch that was recently supplied by the US."

"Kiev and its Western allies claimed that the Russian missile strike on Odessa port was a violation of the UN-sponsored grain export agreement that was signed just a day earlier. Nevertheless, the agreement does not give Kiev forces the permission to store weapons in ports designated for the export of Ukrainian grains."

Gonzalo Lira speculates on the plan of the USA to assassinate Zelenski and to blame Russia:
Gonzalo Lira suggests that the Russians need Zelensky to sign a ceasefire agreement. I doubt, his signature is worth much, which does not mean the US will not do as they see fit.

It was claimed on July 23 in the morning, that there had been air alarms in these districts (dark blue):

The Russian MoD report that they have attacked some targets with missiles:
💥Attack launched by high-precision long-range sea- and air-based armament has resulted in the neutralisation of aircraft of Ukrainian Air Force deployed at Kanatovo military airfield (Kirovograd region).

💥Attack launched by high-precision long-range sea-based missiles has resulted in the elimination of Ukrainian military ship and a depot of Harpoon anti-ship missiles delivered by USA to the Kiev regime in the seaport of Odessa.

▫️The list of neutralised targets also includes the production facilities of an entity specialised in repairing and modernising the fleet of Ukrainian Navy.


💥High-precision attacks have been launched by Russian Aerospace Forces at armament and munitions depots of 28th Mechanised Brigade of the AFU and 123rd Territorial Defence Brigade deployed at locomotive repair plant in Nikolayev.
Russia has their missiles and the US is sending theirs. Here they compare:
NASAMS vs Dagger and Iskander-M

Washington announced the transfer of two batteries of NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (18 launchers of six missiles each). This American-Norwegian system is also widely known because it protects the airspace directly above the White House and the Pentagon.

Kiev also asks them to protect the "decision-making centers" from possible attacks by Russian missiles, primarily the Dagger and Iskander-M.

Let's compare the possibilities.

• NASAMS is armed with AIM-120C/D AMRAAM anti-aircraft missiles. They are equipped with homing heads with a limited 3600 km/h speed of captured targets. This does not allow them to shoot down Russian aeroballistic missiles X-47M2 "Dagger", because the speed of the latter at the final stage of the trajectory is about 4,300 km / h.

• AMRAAM and the quasi-ballistic missile of the Iskander-M complex are too tough. Yes, in the final section, its speed is inferior to the American and is approximately 3200 km / h. But on the other hand, it is capable of carrying out anti-aircraft maneuvers with overloads of 25-30 G. The AIM-120C, in turn, can intercept targets only with overloads of 12-15 G.

Underestimate NASAMS, however, is also not worth it. The peculiarity of this complex is that within a radius of 25-40 km it is able to operate without the participation of battery-powered radar detection and targeting. In this mode, it will not be seen by the Il-20M radio reconnaissance aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Such secrecy poses a known threat to Russian fighters and attack aircraft that operate in the skies of Ukraine.

NASAMS - Wikipedia has:
23px-Flag_of_Ukraine.svg.png
Ukraine – The United States government announced the purchase of two NASAMS systems for Ukraine in July 2022, "to defend against cruise missiles and aircraft." [76] [77] This procurement would take several months to finalize and will require extensive training for Ukrainian users.[78][79]On 11 July, the first NASAMS system for Ukraine has arrived in Poland from Norway. It appears to be a NASAMS II variant, it was delivered by a Ukrainian An-124.
It took less than "several months", but did they come from Norway? And have they just been moved in as a threat? But if they went to Ukraine, who would operate them if not NATO soldiers or their mercenaries?
 
According to military analyst and author Andrei Martyanov, some elements in the American military are quite aware of their current crisis in military affairs, and seem to be in the midst of attempting to prepare for longer, drawn-out land battles with Russia and China.

TOE As Military Bible.


Thanks to Larch who pointed my nose to the article by Lt.Colonel John Dolan at the Task and Purpose site. The title of article leaves no secret what is it all about: The Army is getting leaders ready for a war unlike any the US has ever seen. The service is moving away from the past and training for future operations against China and Russia. There, Nolan makes some assertions which need to be elaborated upon. Nolan opens with this:

For several years, the U.S. Army has been considering how to better prepare its leaders and formations for large-scale combat operations (LSCO) against peer and near-peer threats. As an Army officer with over four years in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the broader Middle East, I appreciate the challenges of transitioning a force well-trained and educated in counter-insurgency operations (COIN) to one capable of fighting and prevailing against threats like Russia and/or China. The Maneuver Captains Career Course (MCCC) at Fort Benning, Georgia, the Army’s premier school for educating its officers in tactics and planning, has made revising its course curriculum to fully teach LSCO and competition with China and Russia its top priority. MCCC is building a fully-aligned LSCO curriculum by redefining our operational environment, focusing on the division (DIV) as the unit of action, and considering expansion opportunities within multi-domain operations (MDO) to develop the Army’s next generation of maneuver leaders to fight and win in LSCO.

There is absolutely no doubt that Pentagon (and CIA) have been looking at Russia's Wars very attentively. It is true for both Syrian Campaign and, of course, events in Ukraine since 2014 and, especially, now with SMO. Nolan's article is not a very tacit admission of an utter failure of the Pentagon's fighting doctrine and of the return, as is perceived in the US, of the massive scale combined arms warfare. Of course, in reality it never went away and Russians never abandoned this view of war, even despite the reign, primarily in the information environment, of the concepts such as Revolution in Military Affairs, Counter-insurgency and other similar concepts which were the extension of the overall American view on the warfare which none other than a fanatical Russophobe Richard Pipes (which makes it even more valuable under circumstances) noted in 1977:


The United States wants to win its wars quickly and with the smallest losses in American lives. It is disinclined, therefore, to act on protracted and indirect strategies, or to engage in limited wars and wars of attrition. Once it it resorts to arms, it prefers to mobilize the great might of its industrial plant to produce vast quantities of the means of destruction with which in the shortest possible time to undermine the enemy's will and ability to continue the struggle. Extreme reliance on technological superiority, characteristic of US warfare is the obverse side of America's extreme sensitivity to its own casualties; so is indifference to the casualties inflicted on enemy.

This quote from Pipes' otherwise loony and, naturally, incompetent piece Why the Soviet Union Thinks It Could Fight and Win a Nuclear War, should have been used by Nolan as a preamble to his piece, because it covers immediately the foundation on which US warfare was built and it answers immediately the question WHY the United States Army Couldn't Fight and Win a Massive Scale Combined Arms War in Eastern Europe. Nolan goes to a great length trying to frame a discussion by reviewing the operational environment and manuals which the United States Army tries to adapt to the realities of the possible war, titled in Pentagonese LSCO (Large Scale Combat Operations) with Russia or China. It is all fine and dandy, and, in fact, necessary. Nolan adds here a personal touch:

As a platoon leader in Iraq, I credit two Apache attack helicopters with saving my life, and I knew I could always rely on air support being close by and highly responsive. In an LSCO environment, the days of helicopters loitering over small units, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) soaking targets uncontested for 48 hours, and firing mortars and artillery without regard for their proximity to command posts, assembly areas, and logistics nodes are gone. Similarly, our expectation of complete air supremacy and not worrying about more than a small UAS dropping a 40mm grenade on top of us is unrealistic. This revised operational environment that MCCC is building into its scenarios is intended to teach students to account for a threat with accurate and even overmatched fires, air defense assets at nearly every echelon, aircraft capable of striking friendly units, near-constant observation by enemy UAS, and the capabilities to broadly disrupt our communications systems. We are trying to impart to our students that the resources they will receive are 1) more finite in terms of time allocation and quantity, 2) susceptible to many forms of enemy contact, and 3) must be employed thoughtfully to prevent easy enemy predation and enable preservation for future friendly use.

Well, that is a good start and it is the duty of professionals to view things in proper perspective and framework but the reason the United States Army couldn't win LSCO in Eastern Europe against Russia is already answered by... Pipes and it is very simple:

1. The United States as a country is incapable to face the number of casualties, especially in KIAs, which will amount, roughly, to 1,000-1,500 KIAS per day alone. This is not a theorem, it is an axiom. In other words, what Nolan admits as shortcomings are, even when one has the ability to adapt somewhat tactically and operationally, what Nolan terms as to be "employed thoughtfully", to the realities of European LSCO, one still is reduced to this proverbial:
2.TOE: Table of Organization and Equipment. Like this relic of the Cold War 1.0.
And here is the thing which SMO demonstrated perfectly and which the US Army NEVER experienced in its history.
A) Classic truism of the 3rd Generation Wars (per Soviet Military thinkers) of stand off and SMART munitions and increasing accuracy of the targeting which is known since 1980s: If I see you, I can kill you. Obviously a bunch (in thousands) of the annihilated NATO "volunteers" in Ukraine cannot testify to this tactical and operational truism, but some, who had enough IQ to save their asses by running, will--it is true. Russia, as the US, has a superb and constantly improving ISR complex and, unlike any other potential enemy of the US, can deny the US the same, including removing or disabling most of the US space based recon assets both physically and by a "soft kill".
B) This all comes down to this TOE, especially its "Equipment" part since Russia not only deploys megawatt class combat lasers but builds specially designed systems capable to "kill" any number of enemy satellites, including whatever Elon Musk wants to put into orbit. One of the unpleasant, for the NATO, things here is that these systems are capable not only to "remove" NATO's space-based assets but are capable of fighting US' counter-measures, thus ensuring a continuous operation of crucial parts of Recon and Targeting systems such as Liana, as an example. Once you lose situational awareness--you lose. The United States Army never fought under such conditions.
C) Maneuver: here comes this back to TOE, its "Equipment" part, issue: maneuver with WHAT? Putting aside a few hundred French and German Main Battle Tanks, M1 Abrams with its monstrous weight and dimensions is not a very effective platform in the environment where it will have to face hundreds of T-90M Proryv (all Netcentric and capable to even provide targeting to Russian Air Force assets) and now serially produced T-14 Armatas, while classic US battlefield strength in Close Air Support most likely will be either mitigated or removed altogether. Because, and you may have guessed it, and I wrote about it many times--the United States simply has no concept of advanced Troops Air Defense, unless one wants to impress Russians with this:


Which sounds like a bad joke with Russian ground forces deploying organic air defense systems which include this:


Or this:



And many other things which proved their very high effectiveness on the battlefield in serious conflicts both in Syria and in SMO. And these are just some of them. Not least in the ECM field, that even US specialists in the matter, surprisingly, are going public explaining why Russia "doesn't actively jam GPS".


Saving the best to use against U.S. and NATO. Despite the location of the conflict, Ukraine is not the enemy Vladimir Putin is really worried about. His concerns focus on the U.S. and NATO. Deploying Russia’s most sophisticated and powerful electronic weapons in Ukraine would enable adversaries to study technologies and tactics. This would lead to the development of countermeasures and make the weapons less effective in future conflicts. Better for Russia to keep its best tools and tricks for interfering with GPS in reserve for use later against larger forces and more important targets.

Nolan is correct in his conclusion that:

Competition with China and Russia is here to stay for the foreseeable future, and this requires an institutional shift towards better understanding and training for LSCO. As I write this, Russia continues its war in Ukraine, and the United States continues to push more troops and arms to Eastern Europe to bolster our Allies. While transitioning our Army to a fighting force more capable of prevailing in an LSCO contest will not happen overnight, MCoE and MCCC play a vital role in preparing future generations of Army leaders to fight and win the next war. Our key is to remain agile and dynamic in our curriculum and instructional approach, with our foot on the gas – willing to adjust and adapt for the future fight.

But here is the issue--in order to have this "E" in TOE you need a national military-industrial capability which was lost by the United States long time ago and I was probably one of the first, may be even first, people who by 2017 started to point out to the United States losing Arms Race to Russia. Today the improvement in capabilities for the United States Army rests not just with, however important, combat training or new curriculum and instructional approach, knowing an academic catastrophe unfolding, as an example, in the USMA in West Point. It rests with the ability of the United States to produce effective and competitive weapons for the modern war, but I don't see this happening any time soon because the issue is systemic and it straddles the whole spectrum of political, economic and military activities in the United States today. The prognosis is not good.


But Nolan is not the only one who begins to ask some hard questions. As some at West Point asked two years ago:

What If It Doesn’t End Quickly? Reconsidering US Preparedness for Protracted Conventional Warhttps://mwi.usma.edu/what-if-it-doe...preparedness-for-protracted-conventional-war/

The answer is very simple, there is no "If", in case of, God forbids, the United States deciding to commit suicide by Russia, the US Army will have to deal not just with own technological inferiority but fighting people who for millennium fought off the best both Orient and combined West could throw at them, while the US Army trying to "defeat" Russia will be the force which never fought in defense of own country directly and, apart from this disparity in TOE, it is this moral factor which the US Army lacks and will continue to lack if it decides to go the way of Teutonic Knights, Mongol-Tatars, Polish invaders, Napoleon or Hitler. These experiences cannot be bought by money or internalized on the level of nation and its armed forces, but this is the factor which matters above all. In the end, the United States doesn't have this:


It is simply beyond American cultural and military experiences. And that, in the end, is what wins wars.​


I think that this last post is a picture of Russia's newly consecrated military cathedral.

The Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces (Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ; Russian: Главный храм Вооружённых сил России (Храм Воскресения Христова)) is a lavish Russian Patriarchal cathedral[2] in honour of the Resurrection of Christ and "dedicated to the 75th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War, as well as the military feats of the Russian people in all wars", built in the Patriot Park in the Odintsovsky District, Moscow Oblast.[3][4] The cathedral is built with donations and budget funds from the Moscow city government and the Moscow Oblast. It was consecrated as part of the celebration of the 75th anniversary of Soviet victory on the Eastern Front of World War II.[5] An exhibition dedicated to the history of the Russian state and its armed forces will be located on-site.[6]

The construction of the cathedral was completed on 9 May 2020, on the annual Victory Day. It was consecrated on 14 June and opened on 22 June 2020, on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow.

FSB Thwarts NATO-Supervised Ukrainian Intel Operation to Hijack Russian Combat Aircraft

1 hour ago (Updated: 10 minutes ago)
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Monday that it had thwarted a Ukrainian military intelligence operation supervised by the special services of NATO countries to hijack the Russian Aerospace Forces' combat aircraft.

"The Russian Federal Security Service uncovered and stopped the operation of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense to hijack combat aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, supervised by NATO special services," the FSB said in a statement.

Ukrainian military intelligence officers, acting on behalf of the political leadership of their country, tried to recruit Russian military pilots for a monetary reward and guarantees of obtaining citizenship of one of the EU countries, the statement said, adding that the Ukrainian officers attempted to persuade them to land aircraft at airfields controlled by the Ukrainian military.

The employees of the Ukrainian special services involved in this operation and their accomplices have been identified, the FSB added.

The security service said the the UK was providing major assistance to Kiev in this operation. At the same time, Christo Grozev, the executive director of the investigative journalist group Bellingcat (listed as a foreign agent in Russia), participated in the operation, FSB noted. According to Grozev's correspondence with one of the participants in the operation, Grozev had found two couriers who met a contact from Moscow hired by Ukrainian intel through his coordinator. He was carrying an advance payment of $4,000 for any pilot who would agree to hijack the warplane.

According to a video clip published by the authorities, Ukrainian agents tried to bribe the pilots, offering up to $2 million to hijack Su-24, Su-34, or Tu-22 aircraft. They also said that the EU has been notified about the plan and will ensure their safety if the operation is successful.

At the same time, the FSB noted that a Ukrainian officer disclosed during a phone call that a major number of portable air defense systems are concentrated in Ukrainian cities.

Previously, reports suggested that NATO and US intel in particular are heavily involved in the Ukrainian crisis, as their agents are deployed to back Kiev against Moscow in a bid to stop the Russian special military op in Ukraine.

The news about the foiled operation come as Ukrainian troops failed to break through the Russian defensive line in the Kherson region.

Meanwhile, Kiev's forces are gradually being pressed out of the Donbass region; Russian servicemen and Donbass militia are advancing, having fully liberated the territory of the LPR earlier this month.

Korotchenko: fatal mistakes of Ukrainian intelligence officers turned out to be in the hands of the FSB

The Federal Security Service of Russia announced the disruption of the operation of the military intelligence of Ukraine to hijack combat aircraft of the VKS. Why the fatal mistakes of the Ukrainian intelligence officers turned out to be in the hands of the FSB, military journalist Igor Korotchenko told.

"Employees of the Ukrainian military intelligence, acting on behalf of the political leadership of their country, tried to recruit Russian military pilots for monetary remuneration and guarantees of obtaining citizenship of one of the EU countries. To persuade them to fly and land aircraft at airfields controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the FSB said.
The operation was supervised by the special services of the NATO states. Operatives from the Ukrainian side have already been identified.

Russian counterintelligence not only interfered with the plans of the Independent Defense Ministry, but also conducted an operation during which it obtained information about some military facilities of Ukraine. These points were subsequently hit by a missile strike.

"The Ukrainian military themselves revealed the location schemes of their air defense systems and airfields — they handed over to the supposedly hijacked pilot schemes of air defense zones in the south-east of Ukraine, the airfields of Ozernoye (Chernihiv region) and Starokonstantinov (Khmelnitsky), maps of the heights of the vicinity of the airfield Priluki (Chernihiv) and Zhytomyr - and also revealed what exactly in the largest number of portable anti—aircraft systems are concentrated in populated areas," RIA Novosti said in a statement.
It is known that the Ukrainian GUR offered Russian pilots to hijack a plane for Ukraine in exchange for two million dollars. As an advance, they offered four thousand dollars, which would be transferred with the help of couriers. The video shows the person who transferred the funds, as well as the currency seized from him.

Kiev wanted to get Su-24, Su-34 and Tu-22M3. Ukrainian intelligence hoped to lure the wives of Russian pilots to the EU countries with promises of citizenship or a residence permit.

"As soon as the family members of a soldier leave the Russian Federation, they immediately become hostages in the hands of the GUR. Methods of blackmail, threats, and pressure on relatives have become an integral part of the activities of the Ukrainian special services. There are no moral and moral restrictions for them. They would have simply kidnapped them," the FSB stressed.
Korotchenko: fatal mistakes of Ukrainian intelligence officers turned out to be in the hands of the FSB
Fatal mistake of Kiev
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine went to such an action only to create a picture for propaganda, a military expert, editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko told PolitExpert. Kiev hoped to successfully implement the provocation to use the "achievements" for psychological purposes and the information space under the supervision of the SBU and other special services.

"But no luck: it turned out that the "operation" was taken under the control of the Russian state security agencies. And the only goal of NATO and Ukrainian intelligence was to promote the "successes" of Ukraine. They wanted to show that the pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces allegedly deserted the country. This should be considered exclusively in the plane of information special operations," the interlocutor of the PE believes.
Disclosure of the location schemes of air defense systems, a serious miscalculation of Kiev, he noted. The Ukrainian special services also violated the main principles of intelligence — they admitted that they work for it. In addition, FSB officers managed to find out the appearance and location of the alleged agents. The professionalism of the Russian counterintelligence turned out to be significantly higher than that of the enemy's GUR, including because it does not allow itself to make such fatal mistakes, Korotchenko stressed.
Коротченко: роковые ошибки украинских разведчиков оказались на руку ФСБ
 
HIMARS is another gimmick that won't change anything except give Russia more insight into US weaponry


By the way, I don't think we should expect a rapid advance by the Russians. The tactic at this point is not so much to conquer territories, but to destroy military targets. This is the safest way to go about it. The bulk of the Ukinazi professional army is already in ruins. Now they are forced to use reservists and conscripts to fill the voids. After these are also defeated (500,000 combined?) the Russians have total control of the map. They control this war so it is up to the Russians to choose where the fighting will take place.

I can also well imagine, that the Russians expect a revolt of the people once the Ukinazi army can barely play a role in the country anymore. To achieve this, they will have to eliminate a lot more of them.

TASS carried an article about it (in Russian) with a video showing screenshots of numerous text exchanges between Ukrainian agents and Russian pilots, or "pilots", with advance payment secretly filmed, fake documents for family members issued and routs of escaping abroad (through Baltic countries and Poland) discussed. The video is worth your few minutes of your life even for those who don't understand Russian language.

War is war, but people need to live somehow. This "somehow" is being implemented in one of the most affected cities - Mariupol.

How Mariupol rises from the ashes: specialists from Russia are already building new houses (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)
26.07.2022 - 3:00

New residential districts are being actively built in Mariupol by builders from the Russian Federation.

As reported to Russian Spring in the press service of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Donetsk People's Republic, this was told by the director of the Department of the Ministry of Construction of the DPR Ruslan Teryaev.

One of these microdistricts will be located on the site on Mira Street and on Irtyshskaya/ul. Amurskaya /lane. Baku.

A new microdistrict with all the necessary infrastructure will be built on this site. There are plans to build 5 five-storey and 5 nine-storey houses.

Now the first four houses for 266 apartments are being built by construction crews from the Rostov region and Krasnodar Krai: two five-storey and two nine-storey. The installation of the block system has already begun. This technology allows you to significantly speed up the construction process.

Despite the rapid pace of construction, the structures are not temporary, they are high-quality and reliable housing.

69 specialists and 19 pieces of equipment work at the site. It is planned that residents whose housing was severely damaged during the fighting will live here.

The construction of the first stage is planned to be completed in November this year. The rest of the houses will be built next year," Ruslan Teryaev said.

To date, there are three sites in Mariupol where new houses are being built. The military construction company of the Russian Federation was one of the first to start construction, construction is also in full swing there. And another one is located at the entrance to Mariupol from the side of the settlement of Mangush, the pits are ready there, the foundation has begun to be laid.

In the future, it is also planned to build new houses on the site of those houses that are not subject to restoration. Engineering networks have already been connected to these houses, so their construction will go even faster. Now the city administration is engaged in the resettlement of people from such houses.

According to preliminary data, the number of houses that cannot be restored reaches 570 (about 20%). More accurate information on them will be available after an instrumental examination.
Как Мариуполь восстаёт из пепла: специалисты из России уже возводят новые дома (ФОТО, ВИДЕО)


Война войной, но людям надо как то жить. Вот это "как то" и реализуется в одном из самых пострадавших городов- Мариуполе.
 
From this latest report on southfront, it seem that the delivery of drone to Russia from Iran is under way.


The front lines in Eastern and Southern Ukraine are inflamed. Clashes continue along the entire contact line.

As of July 26, the main hotspot of the war is in the north of the Donetsk People’s Republic. Russian-led forces are attempting to advance towards the cities of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk where the decisive battle for the Donbass will take place.

In recent days, Russian, DPR and LPR units claimed new gains.

The battle for Bakhmut is approaching. On the morning of July 26, the first reports from the front lines confirmed that the town of Pokrovskoe located on the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut came under Russian control. After intense battles, Russian assault groups and DPR Cossac units repelled Ukrainian forces from their military positions in the northern districts of the town.

As a result of the advance, Russian-led forces threaten Ukrainian positions in the city of Bakhmut. The Russians have also launched an assault on the town Bakhmutsky from their positions Pokrovskoe and Vladimirovka located nearby. Bakhmutsky is the “gateway” to Soledar. Clashes also continue in the northern part of the village of Stryapovka and on the adjacent heights.

The village of Novoluganskoye located on the western shore of the reservoir of the Uglegorskaya power plant was completely blocked on July 26. Russian mop up operations continue on the streets. Ukrainian forces have almost retreated. However, the Russian advance is slowed down by heavily mined roads.

Battle for the Uglegorskaya thermal power plant, which was declared on July 25, continues. The plant is currently still under control of Ukrainian forces. Fighting for control of the facility is complicated by the threat of any incidents or provocations.

In the Seversky region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are heavily shelling the advancing enemy troops in the area of Berestovoye and Belogorovka.

While the Armed Forces of Ukraine are fighting with foreign weapons supplied by Kiev’s Western Allies, Russia may reportedly get military aid from Iran.

According to unconfirmed reports, Iran has sold a certain number of its Shahed 129 UAVs to Russia.
For the first time, the claims were made by representatives of Washington. However, both the Russian and Iranian sides did not confirm any information on such agreements.

Meanwhile, IL-76 cargo aircraft loaded with unknown cargo from Iran continue to arrive at airports near Moscow.

Iranian strike UAVs like the Shahed 129, can significantly expand the capabilities of the Russian military. Such drones can be adapted to the requirements of the Russian army, and drones will be able to deliver heavy strikes with cruise missiles at very long distances.
