MOSCOW, September 24. /TASS/. Ka-52 and Mi-28 helicopters of Russia’s Southern Military District have taken out some Ukrainian troops in the Zaporozhye area, the Russian Defense Ministry told TASS.

"Reconnaissance revealed a buildup and transfer of additional enemy personnel in one of the wooded areas, up to 30 people. The task was set to destroy the identified target with unguided [aerial] missiles. From time to time, along with personnel, we also hit lightly armored vehicles, pickup trucks <…> and infantry fighting vehicles," a military pilot, identified by his call name Spartak, said in a video obtained by TASS.

The ministry said that, as part of the special military operation, the Southern Military District’s aircraft continue to carry out missions to destroy the enemy’s personnel and armored vehicles, disrupting unsuccessful Ukrainian attempts to attack Russian positions in the Zaporozhye area.

During combat sorties, strike and reconnaissance-cum-strike helicopters launch missiles at Ukrainian fortified strongpoints and armored fighting vehicles. Pilots approach the combat area at extremely low altitudes and skirt the terrain, which allows the aircraft to avoid detection by the enemy's air defenses, the ministry said. thumbsup.gif

"Crews manning Su-34 multipurpose fighter bombers of the Central Military District delivered guided bomb strikes on command outposts and drone control centers, as well as Ukrainian armored combat vehicles, in the Krasny Liman direction in the course of the special military operation.

Ukraine to either surrender on Moscow’s terms or cease to exist — top Russian lawmaker
According to Vyacheslav Volodin, the outcome also includes economic problems in Europe and the US, as well as a lack of manpower for the Ukrainian armed forces

MOSCOW, September 25. /TASS/. Ukraine is fated either to capitulate on Moscow’s terms or cease to exist as a state, Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the Russian State Duma (lower house of parliament), said.

"When speaking about the conflict in Ukraine, [US President Joe] Biden, [NATO Secretary General Jens] Stoltenberg and other Western officials have started calling it 'a war of attrition.' They have put huge amounts of money into militarizing the Kiev regime. Where has it gotten them? The simple facts are these: the West is experiencing weapons and ammunition shortages, people in Europe and the US have lost trust in politicians, and the Kiev regime’s counteroffensive has failed," Volodin stated.

According to him, the outcome of the "war of attrition" also includes economic problems in Europe and the US, a lack of manpower for the Ukrainian armed forces, and ultimately bankruptcy and demographic disaster for Ukraine. "These seven facts speak for themselves: Ukraine will cease to exist as a state unless the Kiev regime capitulates on Russia’s terms," Volodin stressed.

"More than 10.5 million people have fled Ukraine. Another 11.2 million residents of Crimea, Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions decided to join Russia. Ukraine has lost 53.7% of its population since 2014," the State Duma speaker highlighted. shakehead.gif

Volodin noted that, in June, then-British Defense Minister Ben Wallace stated that Western countries had run out of stockpiles of those weapons that they could send to Kiev from their own national arsenals. Biden, in turn, admitted in July that the decision to provide Ukraine with cluster munitions had been driven by the fact that stocks of conventional ammunition were exhausted. "The approval ratings of EU and US leaders have hit historical lows. The share of people who disapprove of their leaders’ performance stands at 57% for Biden, at 69% for [French President Emmanuel] Macron, and at 72% for [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz. The majority of people in the United States and European countries oppose weapons supplies to Ukraine," the Duma speaker added.

In addition, the senior lawmaker emphasized that the NATO-backed Ukrainian military had suffered huge troop and equipment losses, while "the lack of achievements has disappointed [Kiev’s] Western sponsors." nod.gif "The economies of the Eurozone countries are going through a recession. The costs of Ukraine’s militarization have forced Germany to cut benefit payments to poor families. France has reduced the number of beneficiaries; people in need no longer receive food packages and reimbursements for drug costs. International agencies have downgraded the United States’ long-term investment rating as they expect the financial situation in the country to worsen in the next three years," Volodin said.

Russian forces repel attacks by Ukrainian assault units in Zaporozhye Region — politician
"Overnight, several more Ukrainian groups numbering over two squadrons tried to force their way through but were also dispersed," Vladimir Rogov reported

MELITOPOL, September 25. /TASS/. Russian forces repelled attacks by Ukrainian assault units last evening and overnight near the village of Verbovoye in the Zaporozhye segment of the combat line of engagement, Vladimir Rogov, leader of the We Are Together With Russia movement, told TASS.

"The situation is tense along the Rabotino-Verbovoye section but everything is under control. At least four Ukrainian assault squadrons attempted to break through to our positions for close combat in the vicinity of Verbovoye on Sunday night but they were eliminated or dispersed. All the attacks were repelled," Rogov said. 👍

According to the politician, on this segment of the line of engagement, Ukrainian troops are attempting to attack on a west-to-east axis near Novopokrovka and Verbovoye and in the southern direction in the vicinity of Novoprokopovka.

"Overnight, several more Ukrainian groups numbering over two squadrons tried to force their way through but were also dispersed. Everything is as usual, there have been no breakthroughs. Our guys continue to hold the line," Rogov noted.

On September 22, he told TASS that the Ukrainian armed forces had redeployed more than 10,000 troops from other sections of the combat line of engagement in the Zaporozhye area to the vicinity of Rabotino and Verbovoye. According to his assessment, reinforcements of the Ukrainian grouping in this area may be a sign of preparations for active combat operations.

The Russian Defense Ministry said earlier that the Ukrainian armed forces had been making unsuccessful attempts at a counteroffensive since June 4. On September 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that, since then, Ukrainian troops have lost 71,500 people, 543 tanks and almost 18,000 armored vehicles of various types. The Russian head of state noted that the "counteroffensive" has produced no results. shakehead.gif

The strike of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the echelon of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Rodinsky

Yesterday, footage of a strike by the Russian Armed Forces on a train near the village of Rodinskoye in the occupied part of the DPR, which occurred a few days ago, appeared on the Web.

Judging by the record, among several dozen units of wheeled vehicles, there were also MLRS on the platforms. The enemy's manpower fled after an air explosion and fire.

According to some reports, the target was worked out from the Tornado-S MLRS, which made it possible to cover the train 40 km from the front line. At the same time, objective control of fire damage was carried out by a reconnaissance drone, which also flew deep behind the line of contact.

📌 It is difficult to say whether the train was completely destroyed, but this is far from the only blow to a specific denouement. A kilometer to the south, satellite images discovered by colleagues from Lostarmour record a large-scale damage in the area of the Rodinskaya railway station.

Coupled with the recent raid on the railway junction in Vapnyarka and the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation about the destruction of two echelons of the 37th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at loading stations, it can be assumed that attacks on enemy trains in the rear are becoming more systematic.

Russian forces push Ukrainian troops out of village northwest of Artyomovsk, official says
According to Vladimir Rogov, the liberation of the village has significantly improved Russian forces’ tactical positions along this stretch of the combat line of engagement

MELITOPOL, September 25. /TASS/. Russian forces have pushed Ukrainian troops out of the village of Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, located northwest of the city of Artyomovsk (known as Bakhmut in Ukraine), Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the We Stand With Russia movement, said.

"Russian soldiers active on the northern flank of the Artyomovsk frontline have pushed the Ukrainian armed forces’ fighters out of the settlement of Orekhovo-Vasilyevka. Our guys took the Nazis by surprise; they had not been expecting an attack and were forced to flee," he wrote on Telegram.

According to Rogov, the liberation of the village has significantly improved Russian forces’ tactical positions along this stretch of the combat line of engagement.

The Russian Defense Ministry said earlier that the Ukrainian armed forces had been making unsuccessful attempts at a counteroffensive since June 4. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 12 that, since then, Ukrainian troops had lost 71,500 troops, 543 tanks and almost 18,000 armored vehicles of various types.

"The situation over the past two days has improved a little bit in the area that is important to us, because it is adjacent to the Ugledar area. I am referring to the Rabotino-Verbovoye section of the frontline."

"North of Verbovoye and also in the southwest direction from Rabotino, the Russian forces have managed to increase the gray zone by about 200 meters as a result of counterattack operations," he said on the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

On Monday, Vladimir Rogov, the chairman of the We Are Together With Russia movement, told TASS that Russian units had repelled several attacks by the Ukrainian military in this area in the evening of September 24 and during the night and dispersed and rolled back up to six companies of the Ukrainian infantry.

Night combined strike of the RF Armed Forces

At night, Russian troops attacked targets on Ukrainian territory, including the port infrastructure of the Odesa region.

Local sources pointed to the very dense work of air defense and explosions in the area of the Ilyichevsk port, the Bolshevik district, the village of Ilyinka, the village of Kotovsky. According to some reports, the sounds of secondary detonation were heard from the side of the warehouses of the port of Yuzhny.

▪️One of the strikes fell on the closed hotel "Odessa". Although some resources claim that the building was allegedly never used for military purposes, this is not entirely true: back in May, people in uniform were seen there, and for some reason generators worked at the "abandoned" facility. However, there is no objective evidence of the destruction of manpower there during the night raid.

▪️There was also information about another combined strike by drones and cruise missiles at the Dolgintsevo airfield near Kryvyi Rih.

And in the morning, footage of the destruction of the Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter appeared there: it is possible that this particular episode occurred a few days ago, but the very fact of regular raids indicates unequivocal attention to it from the RF Armed Forces and the desire to hit the aircraft located there.

Battle of Avdiivka:
situation by the end of September 25, 2023

🔻 More than two months have passed since the last update of the situation in Avdiivka, and the situation in this area has not changed radically. Either our or Ukrainian units are attacking positions, trying to improve the tactical position.

Over the past few weeks, enemy formations, reinforced by detachments of marines, have tried to break through to Vodiane and Opytny. At some point, they managed to advance, but after a massive artillery strike and the subsequent counterattack of the 1st Slavic Brigade, everything returned to its original level.

🔻 At the same time, the fighters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation also carried out several attacks in other directions. Operating from the vicinity of Opytne, the servicemen of the Russian Army advanced towards the residential complex "446 km" and entrenched themselves on new frontiers.

Similarly, units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation leveled the front along the H20 highway, clearing the strongholds at the 3rd pond and the water treatment plant. Now the line of contact runs along the road from Kamenka to Kruta Balka and Kashtanovoe.

📌 However, the situation does not change significantly. The assault on Avdiivka head-on is physically impossible without huge losses in manpower and equipment. Another option is to cut off supplies from the north, but the density of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there is high, so at the moment you should not expect any significant advance.

Missile attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Crimea

A little less than an hour ago, Ukrainian formations again tried to strike at the Crimean peninsula. According to some reports, at least two Storm Shadow cruise missiles were launched from Su-24M bombers.

The route of the Storm Shadow flight ran through Cape Tarkhankut in the direction of Sevastopol and the Kherson region to Dzhankoy and Gvardeysky. One of the cruise missiles was destroyed on approach to the Belbek airfield by the calculations of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division.

Three or four minutes later, the air defense also worked on another cruise missile north of the Cossack Bay on approach to Sevastopol.

🔻 Also, the servicemen of the 31st division worked on two objects (preliminarily, Storm Shadow) over Dzhankoy and Gvardeysky. The exact number of downed targets will become clear later. We do not exclude that there could be more.

Judging by the areas affected by the missiles, Ukrainian troops tried to strike at the airfields of the Aerospace Forces and the Navy in the Crimea. And as long as the Storm Shadow / SCALP carriers remain in the air, the threat of repeated attacks remains.

And here is the latest video of the attack on the Kulbakino airfield in Nikolaev from the Turned in War channel: (https://t.me/voenacher/52841) at least one attack hit a MiG-29 fighter of the Ukrainian Air Force, parked near the runway stripes.

Coordinates: 46.9360525, 32.0811024

This is the third documented case of the destruction of Ukrainian MiG-29s over the past few days: before this, two vehicles of this type were (https://t.me/rybar/52338) hit (https://t.me/rybar/52086) Dolgintsevo airfield near Krivoy Rog. In this case, the target was also located at a considerable distance from the front line - 55 km from the front line.

Such effective raids in such a short period of time clearly indicate the increased combat capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces in the matter of destroying aircraft on the ground, which previously had certain difficulties.

I really want to hope that such attacks will become systematic: each such precise arrival reduces the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force. nod.gif
