It’s almost like the Ukrainians planned it that way…a SOF raid to destroy radar, then a sophisticated strike on Sevastopol…

This counter-offensive is much more than a ground assault…it’s a multi-domain operation. UKR Gen Staff is running rings around the Russian Gen Staff.

Vremevsky section: unsuccessful attacks of the AFU on Novodonetskoye and Novomayorskoye
Situation as of 16.00 September 13, 2023

🔻The enemy continues to try to improve the tactical position by attacking forest plantations at the Novodonetskoye - Novomayorskoye line. The AFU repeat their usual actions over and over again: individual infantry fighting vehicles and armored fighting vehicles bring assault groups of 10-20 people to the line of combat contact, who are trying to gain a foothold in new positions.

Since the morning, units of the AFU have carried out four similar attacks, which were unsuccessful.

The Russian Armed Forces quickly manage to detect enemy movements as they approach, cover the personnel and equipment of the AFU with artillery, forcing the Ukrainian formations to retreat.

🔻Two attacks from Levadny in the direction of Priyutny were reflected. In the forest plantations near the populated area, the enemy has been accumulating manpower and armored vehicles in recent weeks. Nevertheless, Russian units regularly identify strongholds of the AFU and strike them with artillery.

📌 The Ukrainian command, obviously, does not yet plan to abandon further offensive in the Vremevsky sector. However, after changing the direction of attack from Staromlynovka to Novomayorskoye and the lack of success in conducting “meat assaults,” the 18th battalion of the 35th Marine Brigade of the AFU Armed Forces lost partial combat capability. Additional forces are regularly transferred to the Prechistovka area to replenish Ukrainian units, which also become a tasty target for Russian artillery.

Russia Overcomes Sanctions to Expand Missile Production, Officials Say
Moscow’s missile production now exceeds prewar levels, officials say, leaving Ukraine especially vulnerable this coming winter.

Russia has managed to overcome sanctions and export controls imposed by the West to expand its missile production beyond prewar levels, according to U.S., European and Ukrainian officials, leaving Ukraine especially vulnerable to intensified attacks in the coming months.

In addition to spending more than $40 billion providing weapons for Ukraine, the United States has made curbing Russia’s military supply a key part of its strategy to support Kyiv.

As a result of the sanctions, American officials estimate that Russia was forced to dramatically slow its production of missiles and other weaponry at the start of the war in February 2022 for at least six months. But by the end of 2022, Moscow’s military industrial manufacturing began to pick up speed again, American officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose the sensitive assessment now concede.

Russia subverted American export controls using its intelligence services and ministry of defense to run illicit networks of people who smuggle key components by exporting them to other countries from which they can be shipped to Russia more easily. In less than a year since the war began, Russia rebuilt trade in critical components by routing them through countries like Armenia and Turkey. U.S. and European regulators have been trying to work together to curb the export of chips to Russia, but have struggled to stop the flow to pass through countries with ties to Moscow.

Russia’s re-energized military production is especially worrisome because Moscow has used artillery to pound Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines, and its missiles to attack the electric grid and other critical infrastructure, and to terrorize civilians in cities. Officials fear that increased missile stocks could mean an especially dark and cold winter for Ukrainian citizens.

In the meantime, the Pentagon is working to find ways to help Ukrainians better take down the missiles and drones fired by Russia at civilian targets in Kyiv and military targets around the country. The Pentagon has provided Patriot air defense systems and cajoled allies to provide S-300 air defense ammunition, both of which have proven effective. It has also provided other air defenses like the Avenger system and the Hawk air defense system.

But Ukraine does not have enough air defense systems to cover the entire country, and must pick the sites it defends. An increased barrage of missiles could overwhelm the country’s air defenses, Ukrainian officials said.

In October 2022, the United States gathered international officials in Washington in an effort to strengthen sanctions on the Russian economy. At the time, American officials said they believed the sanctions and export controls were working in part because they deterred countries from sending microchips, circuit boards, computer processors and other components needed for precision guided weaponry as well as necessary components for diesel engines, helicopters and tanks.

But Russia adapted quickly with its own efforts to secure supplies of the needed parts.

Today, Russian officials have remade their economy to focus on defense production. With revenue from high energy prices, Russia’s security services and ministry of defense have been able to smuggle in the microelectronics and other Western materials required for cruise missiles and other precision guided weaponry. As a result, military production has not only recovered but surged.

Before the war, one senior Western defense official said, Russia could make 100 tanks a year; now they are producing 200.

Western officials also believe Russia is on track to manufacture two million artillery shells a year — double the amount Western intelligence services had initially estimated Russia could manufacture before the war.

As a result of the push, Russia is now producing more ammunition than the United States and Europe. Overall, Kusti Salm, a senior Estonian defense ministry official, estimated that Russia’s current ammunition production is seven times greater than that of the West.

Russia’s production costs are also far lower than the West’s, in part because Moscow is sacrificing safety and quality in its effort to build weapons more cheaply, Mr. Salm said. For instance, it costs a Western country $5,000 to $6,000 to make a 155-millimeter artillery round, whereas it costs Russia about $600 to produce a comparable 152-millimeter artillery shell, he said.

Still, Russia faces some shortcomings. It does not have huge inventories of missiles, though they have more of some kinds — like the Kh-55 air-launched cruise missile — in stock now than they did at the beginning of the war, according to people briefed on intelligence reports.

“In certain areas, they’ve been able to significantly ramp up production,” said Dmitri Alperovitch, an international security expert and chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator, a Washington-based think tank.

In cases where Russia needs millions of one particular component, export controls can grind production to a halt. But the chips needed to make a couple of hundred cruise missiles would fit into a few backpacks, which makes evading sanctions relatively simple, Mr. Alperovitch said.

Yup. Russia is running out of missiles, tanks and ammo according to bigheaded Bandera sycophants....

Russia has managed to defeat the sanctions imposed by the U.S.-led West to expand its missile program, as per the New York Times report. The report said that Russia expanded its missile production beyond pre-war levels. The report added that Russia's ammunition production is seven times more than that of the West. This as sweeping sanctions were imposed against Russia by the Western nations. However, analysts believe that Russia's wartime economy is booming.

Russia has managed to defeat the sanctions imposed by the U.S.-led West to expand its missile program, as per the New York Times report.

This as sweeping sanctions were imposed against Russia by the Western nations. However, analysts believe that Russia's wartime economy is booming.

Brian Berletic from The New Atlas has often stated this in his channel since last year IINM.
An offramp maybe coming soon due to the catastrophic progress of the Bandera counteroffensive..

why only show one side? complete the picture, post the rest of the article:

"American and Western officials say there is some good news. Russian production is still not keeping pace with how fast the military is burning through ammunition and wearing out equipment. For example, even though Russia is on pace to produce two million rounds of ammunition a year, it fired about 10 million rounds of artillery last year. That has led Moscow to desperately search for alternative sources to increase its stocks, most recently by trying to secure a weapons deal with North Korea, U.S. and Western officials said.

And although Moscow has been successful in smuggling processors and circuit boards, it is facing a shortage of rocket propellant and basic explosives, American officials said, material that can be harder to smuggle than circuit boards. Those shortages are likely to constrain Moscow if it tries to step up further production of ammunition, missile or bomb.

Russa’s increased military production has also come at a great cost to the Russian economy, particularly as interest rates spike in the country. Sanctions have taken a toll on the Russian economy’s overall health, and overcoming Western export bans has not come cheaply, said American and Western officials. The senior Western defense official said that Russia had reallocated nearly a third of its commercial economy toward arms production. The country faces a labor shortage that could make further industrial gains harder to achieve too.

Russia cut back on its attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid during the summer. But as temperatures plunge, some Ukrainian and Western analysts and government officials think Russia could renew the terror campaign on Kyiv, in hopes that it will sap Ukrainians’ will to fight.

U.S. officials hope the steady supply of air defense ammunition and additional help to improve how Ukraine intercepts Russian attacks could help counter a reinforced barrage of missiles. And Ukrainian defenses have — in some situations — grown stronger.

“Ukrainians have become better in defending their infrastructure and building defenses around their power stations and critical power grids,” Mr. Salm said. “They have become better at fixing and making sure that the impact of the power outages and other utility outages are not as harsh.”

The Ukrainian president's adviser has made an insulting statement against Indians. Advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said India and China have weak intellectual potential. He claimed the two nations are unable to analyse the impact of their stand on the Ukraine war. Not just that, Podolyak even mocked India's lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3. He said India might have landed on the moon, but that does not indicate that New Delhi can fully comprehend what the modern world is about.

Putin Raises Toast As North’s Kim Vows 'Unconditional Support' To Russia's 'Sacred Fight' | Watch

President Vladimir Putin toasted the "strengthening of future cooperation" with North Korea as he hosted Kim Jong-un in an official dinner. Kim proposed a toast to Putin's health. Kim said he was confident the Russian Army would secure a 'heroic' victory in Ukraine. The meeting comes as Western intelligence agencies suspect that Russia is looking to acquire North Korean weapons and ammunition to use in its military campaign in Ukraine.

Moscow urgently transferred the newly formed 25th Army to the front in the Luhansk region due to a lack of reserves. According to British intelligence, as recently as August 2023, recruitment ads for the 25th Army stated that it would be deployed in Ukraine only from December 2023.

CIA Manipulation of Public Opinion w/Jeffrey Sachs

Ukrainian forces lost about 100 marines during attempted assault at Opytnoye — DPR head
Denis Pushilin called Ukrainian reports that he Ukrainian forces managed to entrench in Opytnoye a hoax

MOSCOW, September 13. /TASS/. The Ukrainian armed forces lost about 100 Marines during the attempted assault on the DPR settlement of Opytnoye, Acting DPR Head Denis Pushilin said.

He called Ukrainian reports that he Ukrainian forces managed to entrench in Opytnoye a hoax.

"The Ukrainian forces believed the Ukrainian hoax themselves, we checked the information. What did the Ukrainian forces do in the end? They threw Marines there, […] but, of course, [Russia’s] 1st Army Corps Brigade had the situation under control. [Ukrainian forces] lost about 100 people as killed alone, their Marines," Pushilin told Solovyov Live.

Previously, the Russian Defense Ministry also reported high Ukrainian casualties near Opytnoye. According to the ministry, Ukrainian assault groups suffer huge casualties and, despite the claims they disseminated, are unable to progress and entrench in the settlement.

Pushilin also said that there is a positional standoff on the Maryinka direction, which is important for progress on the Ugledar direction, with Russian forces actually advancing several hundred meters. A difficult positional standoff also takes place on the Ugledar direction: the Ukrainian army rotated its personnel and intensified its action, constantly attempting reconnaissance in force. Positional clashes also take place under Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) around the clock, Pushilin added.

Russian ships damaged in Ukraine’s attacks on shipyard in Sevastopol to re-enter duty
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that seven out of ten cruise missiles were intercepted by air defense systems

MOSCOW, September 13. /TASS/. The two Russian naval ships, damaged in Kiev's attack on the Ordzhonikidze shipyard in Sevastopol, will be fully restored and re-enter combat service in their fleets, the Russian Defense Ministry has said.

"The two naval ships, undergoing scheduled repairs in the Ordzhonikidze ship repair yard in the city of Sevastopol and damaged as a result of a missile attack by the Kiev regime on September 13, will be fully restored and continue combat service in their fleets," the Defense Ministry said.

The Defense Ministry said earlier that Ukraine’s ten cruise missiles attacked a shipyard in Sevastopol at night. Seven were intercepted by air defense systems. The Ukrainian forces also used three uncrewed boats against a detachment of Black Sea Fleet ships in the Black Sea. The patrol ship The Vasily Bykov destroyed all uncrewed boats. The enemy cruise missiles hit two ships undergoing repairs.

Sevastopol’s Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said earlier that, according to preliminary data, the city came under a missile attack that caused a fire in the area of the southern harbor. Emergency response services are working in the southern part of the Ordzhonikidze shipyard. As a result of the attack, 24 people were injured. Four of them are in moderate condition. There is no danger to the city, according to the governor.
