Russian Fleet Headquarters Blown Up By Ukrainian Missiles, Speedboats In Crimea | Details
Ukraine launched a series of missiles on the Russian Naval shipyard in Sevastopol in Crimea. Ukraine launched ten missiles and three speedboat attacks on the port, Russian Military said. Russia's Defence Ministry said the shipyard caught fire after the Ukrainian attack. Officials said that at least 24 people were injured in the Ukrainian attack in Crimea.
Missile attack of the Ukrainian Air Force on Sevastopol
At around 3 a.m. on September 13, Su-24M bombers of the Ukrainian Air Force launched ten Storm Shadow / SCALP cruise missiles at Sevastopol.
Five Su-24M took off from the Starokonstantinov airbase in the Khmelnitsky region. Four reached the missile launch line over the Nikolaev and Kherson regions, and one carried out an attack from the direction of Zmeiny Island.
Units of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division shot down seven targets: five by the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system, one by the S-400 division, and the seventh by the MiG-31 fighter.
Unfortunately, three Storm Shadow missiles reached their target: the landing ship Minsk and the submarine Rostov-on-Don, which were in dry dock, received varying degrees of damage.
❗️We would like to pay special attention to the presence of "colorful" footage of arrivals from different angles, which will undoubtedly be used by Ukrainian structures to generate reports on the effectiveness of the attacks, since they simplify the collection of information for the enemy.
After a long break, attacks on Crimea with cruise missiles resumed. With a very high degree of probability, the raids will continue in the coming days (and not only in Sevastopol).
In a recent analysis, we said that in the coming week we should expect massive strikes on the Crimean bridge (we do not hint at anything, but the Kiev Chabadniks will soon celebrate the New Year, and this audience is very fond of such symbolism).
As for today's attack, it looks like a rehearsal (timed, moreover, to the beginning of the battle for Sevastopol in 1854).
As for the attempt to strike a detachment of warships of the Black Sea Fleet, there were three attacks between 4 and 6 am. All three unmanned boats (BEC) were destroyed by the patrol ship Vasily Bykov in the southwestern part of the Black Sea.
And it should be noted that once again, during an attack on Russian warships, an American MQ-9A Reaper drone was operating in the same area, which aimed BeKi at the Bykov.
At the same time, together with a missile strike (https://t.me/rybar/51844) on Sevastopol, the AFU with a high degree of probability planned to again land troops on Tarkhankut or gas production installations (https://t.me/rybar/51781) .
All last night until noon, the AFU transported ammunition and fuel on boats to Zmeiny from Vilkovo, preparing for a sortie towards the peninsula.
However, two Su-24M naval aviation bombers of the Black Sea Fleet struck the island yesterday at 15.24 and 16.05, as a result of which a fuel and lubricants warehouse, one boat and about 20 people were destroyed.
Correction and guidance were provided by the Forpost reconnaissance and strike drone, which monitored the enemy’s movements.
Soledar direction: successful counterattack of the Russian Armed Forces near Kleshcheevka situation as of 14.00 September 13, 2023
🔻 Intense clashes unfolded southwest of Bakhmut at the Kleshcheevka-Andreevka line. As a result of a counterattack by combined units of the Russian army, they managed to drive the enemy out of Kleshcheevka.
Despite this, the village remains in the gray zone due to the mass fire of the AFU in the village. Russian troops hold the northeastern outskirts, while Ukrainian forces concentrate forces to the west for a new attack.
🔻 The situation in Andreevka remains in the fog of war. This morning information appeared that the village was completely recaptured by fighters of the Russian Armed Forces, but a little later doubt arose again due to conflicting information about the line of control along the railway track.
Due to a lack of evidence, we have placed the village in a gray zone until more definitive data becomes available. Nevertheless, positional battles at Andreevka continue.

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 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....

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.
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.

'American Duplicity...': Russia Blasts U.S. For Threatening Kim & Putin With Sanctions | Watch
The United States has voiced alarm at new military cooperation between Russia and North Korea after the two countries' leaders met. The cooperation announced during North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's visit to Russia's far east is "quite troubling and would potentially be in violation of multiple UN Security Council resolutions," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. Russia, however, has hit back at the United States, accusing the Biden Administration of duplicity.
A top adviser to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, Mikhail Podoliak, blamed “Russian propaganda” on angry reactions to his remarks about China and India having “low intellectual potential”. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, 'Classic Russian propaganda: take it out of context, distort the meaning, scale it up to separate target audiences with conflict provocation'. Just another puppet of the corrupted, nefarious Bandera regime in Ukraine...
MOSCOW, September 14. /TASS/. Russia’s Battlegroup South wiped out a Ukrainian command post and a drone control center in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Battlegroup Spokesman Georgy Minesashvili told TASS on Thursday.
"The battlegroup’s artillery hit a temporary deployment location of the Ukrainian army’s 110th mechanized brigade, a drone control center and a command post in Krasnogorovka and Avdeyevka. Apart from that, three cars with sabotage and reconnaissance groups and a grenade launcher position in the settlements Verkhnekamenskoye, Pisetskoye, and Vyemka were destroyed," he said.
According to the spokesman, the battlegroup’s tactical aviation delivered airstrikes on areas of deployment of weapons and combat vehicles of the 3rd assault brigade and the 118th Ukrainian territorial defense brigade near Stupochka. "The battlegroup’s assault and army aircraft delivered airstrikes on enemy manpower in Veseloye, Spornoye, Belogorovka, Kleshcheyevka, Bogdanovka, Kurdyumovka, Krasnogorovka, and Mayorsk," he added.
Minesashvili also said that, in counterbattery fire, Ukraine lost a US-made M119 system and a Msta-B howitzer in Dyleyevka, a munitions depot and a dugout in Spornoye, nine mortars in Krasnogorovka, Novgorodskoye, Verkhmekamenskoye, Pisetskoye, Georgoyevka, and Berdychi. "Crews of Solntsepyok (or Scorching Sun) heavy flamethrower systems hit manpower in Kleshcheyevka," he added.

Also, US-made M777 and M119 howitzers, four D-30 artillery guns, one D-20 artillery gun and a Msta-B howitzer were hit there.
DONETSK, September 14. /TASS/. A captured Ukrainian soldier from the 36th Separate Marine Brigade, Vitaly Dityuk, said that his unit commanders had been continuously dispatching troops across a minefield to storm the village of Opytnoye, near Donetsk, despite the high losses in personnel incurred from this tactical maneuver.
"In the evening, they brought us in, and in the morning, we received orders to storm Opytnoye. We went out in three groups of 20 people each, I was in one of the groups. We were forced to move along the wooded area, which had not been demined, and along a minefield, where we began to trip and set off mines," he told TASS.
He clarified that in his group alone, about ten people tripped and detonated mines, while the rest were hit by a Russian artillery barrage. Some of them were killed on the spot, while some troops sustained wounds of various degrees of severity. Dityuk himself was shell-shocked. "When I came to, I was already surrounded by Russian soldiers," he added.
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the Ukrainian army’s heavy personnel losses in the vicinity of this village. According to the Defense Ministry, Ukrainian assault units are sustaining heavy losses, but, despite Kiev’s official claims, have not succeeded in advancing or gaining a foothold in Opytnoye. The Defense Ministry affirmed that the village remains under the control of Russian forces.
Combined attack of the AFU in the Black Sea: how it happened
On the morning of September 14, Ukrainian formations carried out another attack on the Crimean peninsula.
▪️ First, 11 aircraft-type drones were launched from the outskirts of Odessa (for the first time in a long time, non-Mugins were used for this purpose) .
The drones were shot down by crews of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division at around 5.30 am over Yevpatoriya.
▪️ At approximately 5.50, the AFU struck the outskirts of Uyutnoye with an R-360 Neptune anti-ship missile, as a result of which the S-300 air defense missile launcher was hit (corresponding footage has already appeared on the online ).
❗️ Again the AFU used the same tactics as a few weeks ago. After the UAV raid, the positions of the S-300 air defense system were determined - almost immediately they worked on it from Neptune. First, the AFU waited for the ammunition to be used up and then hit the air defense system.
🔻 Also, over the past two days, the AFU have attacked several times a detachment of warships (OBK) of the Black Sea Fleet consisting of “Vasily Bykov” and “Sergei Kotov”.
▪️ A total of 12 unmanned boats were observed: six yesterday and six more today.
▪️ On September 13, three drones were hit by small arms fire from ships.
▪️ Three more were hit by naval aviation helicopters from the Kacha airfield and from the Vasily Bykov.
▪️ That night, five were destroyed on the approach to the OBK, and one was able to get close to the Bykov and hit the side (the degree of damage was not critical).
🔻 As we said (https://t.me/rybar/51869) yesterday, the lack of reaction to the increasingly aggressive actions of the collective West at the hands of Ukraine is fraught with great consequences.
The impacts will be repeated in the coming days, and herbivorous responses are not the solution.
