Very important. A Slovakian supplied demining system BOZENA 5 via the Gift for Putin initiative is used to demine Ukrainian liberated land.

Ukraine is now assumed to be the most heavily mined country on earth.

i personally like how pro-russians have to rely on mcgregor for comments even when his predictions are worse than /ktard's

Combined efforts of the 12th special purpose brigade of Azov and the 1st operational brigade. Initial artillery stopped the Russian tank's movement after which recon units with FPV drones finished the job.

After Tu-bombers, Russians also started to protect their Su-34's with rubber tires.

Twitter, now known as X, boss Elon Musk has refuted a recent EU report that alleged that his platform fuelled Russia’s war propaganda against Ukraine ever since he took over the social media giant. The EU study, published by The Washington Post, claimed that pro-Kremlin accounts on X grew by 36% between January and May this year. Musk, however, responded asking, “Where is pro-Russia propaganda? We don’t see it.”

Yup. What I see is desperate spamming and flooding of twitter posts from Bandera sympathizers and sycophants to convince everyone that their counteroffensive which is now entering into the fourth month is doing great. 🤣

frontline update:

The 3rd Separate Assault Brigade showed footage of a failed RU attack.

"It ended with a gesture of goodwill. The attack was repelled by 3 soldiers of the Myron platoon. Artillery targeted the surviving Russians during their escape, while recon units dropped grenades on them."

Orekhovsky section: confirmed losses of tactical group "Marun" of the AFU and a new attack of the AFU
situation as of 12.00 September 9, 2023

🔻Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian formations have tried several times to break through the defenses of the Russian army at the Rabotino - Verbovoe line.

–At Verbovoy, three assault groups of 82 Air Assault Brigade and 46 Airmobile Brigade of 15 people each, under the cover of armored vehicles, attacked the Russian Armed Forces positions near Verbovoe, but to no avail: they were heavily targeted by artillery.

–Also, the combined detachments of the 46th Airmobile Brigade and the 47th Mechanized Brigade carried out at least five attacks from landings east of Rabotino to the heights northeast of Novopokropovka, control over which is necessary for further advancement to the south.

As a result of the ensuing battle and concentrated fire from artillery, aircraft and tanks, the enemy was stopped. Some paratroopers of the 46th brigade refused to fight and fled from their positions.

❗️And the losses of the AFU are growing. Only in the Marun tactical group, according to confirmed data for August, the number of losses was 867 people from the 82 Air Assault Brigade brigade, 46 Airmobile Brigade and 132 reconnaissance battalions.

Because of this, preparations are underway to bring into battle the 71st Jaeger Brigade, which is fully equipped and is already in the Orekhov area. Also, along with the transfer of the 3rd battalion of the 80th Air Assault Brigade brigade to Orekhov, the arrival of a unit of the 35th infantry brigade from the Donetsk direction is expected, which indicates the imminent activation of the AFU in this area.

Bandera regime losses over the past 24 hours....
Confirmed losses for August.
867 People including 99 AWOL and 54 Missing. Better to flee or surrender rather than become fertilizer.
45 UAVs
20 Armored combat vehicles

Although limited progress since June in Orekhovsky sector, the narrative still remains that the Bandera regime is winning?

Ukrainian SHARK UAV on the hunt for targets in Zaporizhzia. In total, 5 BUK air defense systems were destroyed with the help of this new UAV (80 km range / 4 hours flight time) that is highly resistant to EW, used for conducting recon and providing target designation.

The Russian forces have succeeded to stall the Ukrainian forces for yet another day as the counteroffensive grinds on. The Russian defence ministry claimed that over 625 Ukrainian troops were killed as 29 of their attacks failed in the last 24 hours. An American mercenary and U.S. Army veteran was also killed in the war.

Simferopol residents talk about some blinking objects above the city.

Russian UFO's?

To Train Ukrainian Troops, the Danish Military Had To Borrow Leopard 1 Tanks From Three Museums

It’s one thing to pledge a bunch of surplus tanks to the Ukrainian war effort. It’s another actually to get the old tanks into working order and train crews to operate them—especially after the tanks have been in storage for 19 years.

The Danish government learned that lesson the hard way after a consortium of Denmark, Germany and The Netherlands—and later Belgium—in February announced it would donate to Ukraine an initial hundred or so 1980s-vintage Leopard 1A5 tanks. Over the next six months the pledge swelled to as many as 178 tanks.

That’s a lot of tanks: as many as five battalions’ worth. And as each Leopard has a crew of four, they require a lot of tankers. Training nearly a thousand tankers demanded a crash effort by Denmark and Germany. A crash effort that needed the help of a few museums.

With the consortium so far having delivered just 10 Leopard 1A5s, the training is ongoing—and could continue through 2024 as Kyiv’s allies fulfill their tank pledge and train any replacement crews the Ukrainian armed forces require.

The Danish army was the most recent Leopard 1A5 operator. It retired its last Leopard 1 back in 2005, ultimately replacing the type with the heavier Leopard 2. There are still some aging former Leopard 1A5 crew members in the Danish army’s sole armored unit, the Jutland Dragoon Regiment.

These craggy Danish veterans formed the training cadre and, reinforced by some retired Danish tankers who volunteered to return to government service, set up shop at the Klietz training ground west of Berlin. They were joined by German instructors who had experience on German army engineering vehicles, which share the Leopard 1’s chassis.

The Ukrainian trainees began arriving in May. According to a Danish military release, the Danes assumed responsibility for the first phase of their training—the basic stuff. The Germans took over for the second phase. Translators and contractors from German industry assist both phases.

The training is short: just six weeks. By contrast, the Danes train their own tankers over a two-month program. It helps that many of the Ukrainians are hardened veterans of Russia’s 19-month wider war on Ukraine: they already know how to fight in a tank. “There is no reason for us to tell them something they already know,” one Danish instructor said.

Having hired instructors, the consortium also needed vehicles for the trainees to practice on. While the Germans have made use of their turretless training vehicles—which previously trained drivers of engineering vehicles—the final stages of instruction, including gunnery, require combat-capable tanks.

Again, the Leopard 1A5’s age posed a problem. Most of the tanks actually belonged to German firm Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft—and had been sitting in a warehouse for two decades. They needed refurbishment.

But the training wouldn’t wait. “It is clear that we do not have that much time, because it is important that they [the tankers] come back to Ukraine and can help their comrades in the defense of Ukraine,” said Maj. Kim Fonseca, chief of staff of the Danish army’s armored battalion.

So the consortium asked for help ... from Danish museums. Apparently the handful of Leopard 1A5s on display in museums were in better condition than were the nearly 100 in storage. Three museums lent the consortium six working tanks “so that the training of the Ukrainians could begin immediately,” the Danish military stated.

Four months later, workers at German tank-maker Rheinmetall are turning over refurbished—practically new-looking—Leopard 1A5s at an accelerating rate. Ten are in Ukraine, while others have joined the museum tanks in Klietz in order to bolster the training effort.

How long the training program continues depends on how long the war continues—and how many more old Leopard 1s Ukraine’s allies can recover from some private company’s warehouses, or from the one NATO country that still operates the tanks. Greece.



Good luck with its armor... roof is 8mm, turret 40mm - 70mm RHA. It would be interesting to see how the Bandera regime intends to use this tank.
