The occupiers, after a new attack by Ukraine on the Russian Black Sea Fleet, began to move ships to Tuapse, - speaker of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Navy Dmitry Pletenchuk on the telethon.

“Those two landing ships [sunk by Ukraine] are not that big, but they’re not really small either. And considering where they stood, this is another significant loss for the Russians. And one of the results of our attacks is the further movement of ships. Now they have already reached Tuapse,” noted Dmitry Pletenchuk

According to him, the occupiers were never able to completely solve the problems with logistics, and now they are forced to change the mooring sites of their ships, thus responding to the dangers at sea that the Ukrainian Defense Forces created for them.

Note: Tuapse a town in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, situated on the northeast shore of the Black Sea.

The daily losses. Russia is being more careful with the tanks at the expense of infantry.

Russians have a lot in common with MAGA. They hit another library last night. Substantial damage.

I see that Sen. Tommy Tuberville has put out a generic statement about military veterans. Has he no shame? He must end the blockade and let the hundreds of stalled promotions go forward. He is harming our military readiness, all to score political points. And his staffers, some of whom are Bannonites, are gleeful about it. It appears they want the military badly weakened so that Trump can come back in and bend it to his corrupt will.

THE ASSASSINATION AND INTELLIGENCE WAR RAGES ON

“Valerii Zaluzhnyi has sadly confirmed the death of his assistant, Hennadiy Chastyakov, who tragically lost his life on his birthday. The incident occurred at his home near Kyiv when an unknown explosive device detonated inside one of his gifts.”

The news snippet above is one of many such incidents - most of the assassinations have happened inside Russia and its occupied territory it’s fair to say.
Yet the war to find and kill those at the periphery of power has two primary intentions, no matter which side carries utmost out.
The first is fear - the endless reminder that you and by extension your family are always in danger. It’s a pressure you either face as live with or you walk away.
You are targeted because you are a confidant of a senior figure - hitting that figure indirectly reminds him and his associates that their security cannot be taken for granted. It’s one more price that these people must pay for what they do. Enemies can find you and they can kill you. And again, by extension your family.
If killing a son or daughter, wife or mother debilitates the command level decision making it has a direct and immediate effect on the war.
For everyone else it reminds us that traitors are still present. Even in Ukraine, even now there are those who prefer Putin’s Fascism to freedom and democracy.
It isn’t as if the war in this respect has been one sided. Far from it. Partisans and Ukrainian intelligence have managed some spectacular eliminations of key personnel.
Yet we all know they do it because their land has been taken and their people seized. They do it because they resist the evil of a dictator and a fascist regime. When it happens to Russians and collaborators it’s hard justice. When it happens to those fighting such a regime it’s quite a different thing. That’s what makes it so heinous and why the perpetrators must be found and eliminated.

Ukraine has received French 5th generation Akeron MP anti-tank missile systems, which can hit targets at a distance of up to 5 kilometres, — State Border Guard Service, with reference to French MP of the French National Assembly, Lionel Royer-Perreaut.

These systems are one of the newest, having been in service with the French army since 2013. Previously, French aid packages did not include these weapons.

Tactical and technical characteristics:

🔘Missile weight: 15 kg;

🔘Caliber: 140 mm;

🔘Body length: 1,3 m;

🔘Range: from 150 to 4,000 meters;

🔘Impact capability: the missile can break through homogeneous armor up to 1,000 mm and a layer of concrete up to 2,000 mm.

The missile has two targeting modes — "fire and forget" or with the help of an optoelectronic targeting station.

In 2020, the development of a version for use on Eurocopter Tiger helicopters and MALE Eurodrone UAV began.

From "The Analyst":

AVDIVKA

The Russians continue to persist with their attempts to attack primarily from the northern pincer.
It seems they have finally learnt that taking the Terracon has granted them no real advantages because it faces the wrong way, and getting in to it the roads face the Ukrainian side. So in many ways it’s become useless to them. However it did deny the Ukrainian forces views to the north which allowed the Russians to reach the rail lines.
The current estimate is that Russia has lost 200 pieces of kit and 20,000 troops trying to reach the coking plant and cross the rails as well as take the position as far as the railway in the northern section.
An additional two brigades are said to be mustered ready to reinforce the attack and the Ukrainians have been targeting these with HIMARS.
The Russians complain of severe issues with drone harassment and that they have no EW to counter it.
The Ukrainians say that they usually kill 80% of the attackers before they reach their lines but the 20% that get there are still a sizeable force and danger.
This then is Russia’s way of winning. The Stalin era tactic of relentless human sacrifice no matter the cost. Overwhelming with numbers eventually gets you what you want against an enemy who doesn’t think the same way.
Ukraine has to constantly adapt and reinforce and keep using better tactics and ammunition - lots of finite valuable ammunition - to keep them at bay.
The battle for Avdivka is far from over.

💥 Landing ships of the occupiers were hit in Crimea

💪 As a result of a night operation on the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea, small landing ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation were damaged by soldiers.

📌 These are boats of project 11770 (class "Serna").

❗️ The ships were carrying a crew and loaded armored vehicles, including BTR-82.

🤝 The special operation was successfully implemented thanks to the support of the United24 platform.

☑️ Small amphibious boats of the "Serna" class were actively used by the aggressor state Russia during the occupation of Zmiiny Island to transfer military equipment and landing craft.

👉 In addition, the Russians placed Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile complexes on board boats for mobile cover of their group on the island and in our Black Sea.

✔️ A small amphibious ship of the "Serna" class has high speed, can accommodate up to 45 tons of cargo and 92 armed landing personnel.

▪️ Occupiers use these boats to disembark advanced groups of marines or evacuate.

▪️ And in the conditions of the Russians' actual lack of naval air defense equipment after a series of attacks by the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine, such boats with air defense systems on board served for the invaders as a cover for the ships of the Russian Navy during raids.

🫡 Now this idea of ​​the Russians has been destroyed!
🇺🇦 Glory to Ukraine!
- GUR

Daily losses. Only one tank. But still 800 Orks. But they don't cost as much as tanks.
