The Russian-Ukrainian War Thread

[Feanor]

Russian forces seem to be on the outskirts of Chasov Yar, preparing to assault the town. I'm a bit curious, since Russia doesn't have the northern or southern flank secured. One would expect to see moves in Bogdanovka, Grigorievka, and Kalinovka before any actual assault.

The terrain around it is also complex, and the town itself is relatively dense. This is going to be a difficult uphill (literally) battle for Russia. And for the life of me I can't figure out why this is the priority. Strategically it's not that significant, and there are much better targets of opportunity (like Seversk or Krasnogorovka). Unless something changes fairly drastically, I suspect Russia will take the town eventually, but we're talking about likely months of fighting.

Ukraine keeps striking deeper into Russia. The latest strikes were on a drone production shop and another oil refinery. These drones appear to be modified ultralight aircraft. A kind of poor mans cruise missile. Russia claims that a student Dorm was hit.

A video from Severodonetsk. This is our first sign that some sort of significant reconstruction efforts there have begun. A brief summary, we have the story of a Russian construction worker who is originally from the Donbas who has decided to travel there for work to take part in the reconstruction efforts. He mentions a couple of civilian residential houses being rebuilt, and then focuses on the rebuilding of a local construction college, which has been at least partially successful We get a few glimpses of life on the streets, and we can see parts of the city still destroyed. Note, the documentary is in essence a Russian propaganda flick.

This comes at the same time as we get news of 60 buses sent to Severodonetsk over the past year. The buses in question are the relatively small PAZ and LiAZ, 26 seaters. In other words some sort of normality is slowly returning, but the efforts are slow, and I suspect reactive due to much population remaining there, rather then a directed effort to rebuild the city.

Yeah, that bridge attack coupled with recent Russian activity in the area makes me wonder if Russia intends to try and take Malinovka or even Gulyaypole. If they have the forces to spare, it might make sense since Ukraine is busy slowly losing around around Donetsk. On a long enough timeline it could even be developed into a west-ward push towards Orekhov, instead of trying to enter it from the Rabotino axis. But the pace is glacial, which might mean opportunistic strikes and advances without a grand plan.

A claim that Russia is importing oil from Belarus.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1775058611636428906

According to Reuters, the damage in Tatarstan was not significant and the personnel returned to work:

Pictures from the scene showed the drone hit the primary refining unit, CDU-7, though it did not appear to have caused serious damage.

The industry source, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said personnel was returning to the plant.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/several-people-injured-drone-attack-industrial-sites-russias-tatarstan-agencies-2024-04-02/

The article also reports (citing RIA, however) that it took 20 minutes to extinguish the fire. If true, that would confirm that the damage was indeed minimal.

Those things that were used for the hit, however… And the fact that they flew over 1,000 km over Russia… Pretty crazy.

 

[Fredled]

A video from Severodonetsk. This is our first sign that some sort of significant reconstruction efforts there have begun.

Russians don't spare money for reconstruction and social benefits in the territories under their control. And it works. As I said, people there don't care which country they are living in as long as they get their retirement benefits. And Russia is paying them nicely.

Reconstruction effort also aims to show that under Russian rule, lives returns to normal. Some exiled Ukrainians even want to return there because they hear from relatives that life is good, and even better than before.
Ukraine before the war was poor and this poverty was caused by rampant post-soviet corruption. Russia is as corrupt, but with the difference that Russia can afford to be corrupt and still distribute benefits where they see fit.

This form of economy is artificial and will be viable only as long as Russia pour money into the region.

Ukraine, on the other side, is suffering from the war. But as soon as the war will end, whatever remains as independent Ukraine will join the European economic zone, and later the EU. And then economic conditions will improve rapidly.

Russia claims that a student Dorm was hit.

I didn't read that student slept at the drone production factory. It's possible that Russians say that it was a dormitory to minimize the impact. But even if it's true, workers or students will be afraid to work there. People get scared quickly even when damages are not significant.

Same with the refinery:

the damage in Tatarstan was not significant and the personnel returned to work:

It won't affect fuel supplies across Russia. Because to do that you would need hundreds of strikes. Not one here and there.
But the psychological impact is important. People working there won;t feel safe. Even people not working there won't feel safe because they see the pictures on TV.
Repair cost and loss of revenues are also important.

It seems Russia has decided to seize the Canal neighborhood in the eastern part of Chasov Yar. Russian force have passed through the houses on the outskirts and reportedly are now engaging the first line of high rise apartments. Other then that, not much is going on, the same minor advances. I'll try to post an update today or tomorrow.

I think it's very difficult to confirm or infirm the damages of such strikes from independent sources if such a thing even exists. I imagine that Ukrainians have datas from their drones, and possibly direct video imaging from the drones cameras. I don't know the technology that they are using but I think that the drones are monitored and piloted in real time by teams on the grounds and that they see what happens via Starlink.

Of course we can always doubt their reports. That's why I don't speculate much on this. I just hope they don't lie (or don't lie too much) and know what they are doing.

The same about about their claim to have destroyed 15 tanks, 73 APCs, 50 artillery pieces and 61 other vehicles on Friday 5th and another 24 tanks, 38 APCs and 41 artillery piece and 70 other vehicles the next day.(These are much bigger numbers than average.)
Nobody can verify this. We can only hope that it's true if you support Ukraine (or at least with a true basis despite probably inflated numbers) or that it's false if you support Russia.

Indirectly, as informations trickle out from Russia, we can see the efforts they make to replenish their ground equipment. Meaning that something serious happened. We don't see that yet with air planes because the number of recently damaged or downed jets is too small to have an impact even if unverified Ukrainian claims are true.

More interesting is how they managed to fly drones up to these bases. Striking Novoazovsk is remarkable because drones have to cross the Donbass and pass through the air defence network there, then keep flying up to the base undetected.
One or two drome flying undetected is nothing special, but several dozens is another story.
Perhaps the absence of A52 helped? Or maybe they were detected but there were no way to intercept them before they reached the air base air defence?

Ukrainians also hit a pipeline near Azov.

 

[seaspear]

I'm not sure if even the claims of Ukraine regarding Russian losses in these airbases were true would be enough to curtail operations ,it might though mean Russia redeploys such aircraft further from the front
With the announcement thought of the Spring military conscription of up to three hundred thousand men but Tass announces at the same time the dismissal of men who had earlier served, a question would be what is the nett increase of Russian forces in Ukraine with this

Putin signs decree on spring draft to armed forces

The document also dismisses soldiers, sailors, sergeants and petty officers, whose conscription time span has expired

There is no connection with Ukraine. Conscripts aren't fighting. This is the usual cycle of conscription and demobilizing that happens ever year and the numbers roughly balance out. And the announcement is not 300 000, it's 150 000...

No Major Damage Seen At Russian Air Base After Drone Attack

Soaring claims about widespread destruction at the installation, which serves as a major tactical airpower hub for Russia, appear untrue.

www.twz.com

 

[Fredled]

It seems that drones had reached the Novoazovsk air base and the other ones but failed to inflict damage. But why did the Ukrainians say that at least six aircraft have been destroyed? If it's not true, it's completely nuts.

 

[Fredled]

Conscription is not connected to Ukraine, nonetheless, everybody is afraid that once serving, they will be sent to the meat grinder. All thought most of the Russian forces consists in reservists and volunteers, some conscripts have been seen fighting in Ukraine (perhaps voluntarily?).
There is also fear in Russia about the idea that Putin could order a second mobilisation in 2024.

So far Russia is able to hire or enlist about 1000 new recruits per day on voluntary or semi-voluntary basis. As long as they can, they don't need to mobilise or send conscripts. Yet, it's not sure that they can keep up this pace because prisons in Siberia become empty.

 

[Fredled]

One more thought about the airfield attacks: I don't think that the lies are intentional. I think it's more poor reporting.
Getting back to the April 5th report on Novoazovsl strike:

This was reported to Ukrinform by a source (in the) law enforcement agencies.

Yeah, they don't even mention which agency it was.

It means, IMO, that someone told somebody something and there are immediately articles popping up all over the Ukrainiosphere. ...And nobody verifies.

I won't give credit anymore when they quote "a source". But only when they name a person explicitly.

Today, again, more details on the drone attack on the Yelsk airbase by an anonymous Defence Intelligence official.
While this report looks more detailed, and possibly more accurate, I won't take it at face value until the anonymous official tells his name. Either they know that they tell the truth and that they are authorised to tell it and then, they can tell their name without fear of being yet one more sacked by Zelensky, or they shut up their face. If they want to stay anonymous it means that they are not sure of what they say or they are not authorised to speak about this matter.

I suspect that the source in the first link heard that "maybe 5 or 6 aircraft were damaged" at one of the airbase, then it became "at least 6 were destroyed at Novoazovsk and many more damaged", while the truth is (if confirmed) "4 planes damaged at Yelsk" (without precising how bad they were damaged).
We are still waiting for a complete satelite view of the air base to assess the truth.

I also suspect the Novoazovsk air base defenders to have inflated the number of drones that was hurled at them. Not 40 drones, but perhaps 5 or 10 (how many explosions on the VK video?).
First, I doubt that Ukrainians are able to fly so many drones that far away. Second I doubt that Russians could have downed 40 drones simultaneously. AFAIK, Ukrainian anonymous sources never talked about such numbers.

it's also possible that the drones were low tech and those who were not destroyed in flight simply missed their targets.

_____________________

Cyril Budanov on the present and future situation.
I found it interesting to read.

_____________________

The IAEA said that a drone explosion was recorded on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Remember, Ukrainians constantly blamed the Russians for the shells which fell near the plant. Al thought I support Ukraine, I always thought that it didn't make sens. It was obvious that the Ukrainians did it.
Today, the drone was certainly Ukrainian too. it's not clear whether the drone detonated itself because it was carrying an explosive charge or because it was hit by an explosive projectile...

Russian forces have been pushed back from their latest advances at Terny. Reportedly it was a Ukrainian counter-attack on the shoulders of a failed Russian attack. However the movement remains minor and Russian forces are still very close to the village. It's likely that without reserves Ukraine won't be able to push Russian forces back much further.

Seversk salient.

Russian forces have made some gains around Belogorovka. They seem to be preparing to attack the large refuse mound south of the village, a logical step. Russian forces have also resumed attacks along the rail line that leads to Vyemka, widening their area of control. I believe that if things continue as they have been, Russia may be taking Seversk before the end of the year.

Battle of Chasov Yar.

Russian forces now inside Chasov Yar, holding some houses on the eastern outskirts of the Canal neighborhood. The first row of highrises is currently contested. Russian forces have also advanced inside Bogdanovka, with some sources reporting it fully under Russian control. Also Russian forces are advancing along the hill north of Krasnoe/Ivanovskoe. It seems likely Ukraine intends to hold the line along the canal, but there is a large section of wooded area south-east of Chasov Yar where the canal goes underground, and Russia can probably enter the city. While the terrain in and around Chasov Yar is far more complex then around Artemovsk/Bakhmut, it's also a much smaller town, only ~13 sq kms of area, and a pre-war population of ~12 000. Of course as we have seen in Mar'inka, the smallest towns can take a very long time to take if they are well fortified, and the defense is well organized.

Russia has deployed a T-72B3 with a massive EW set up on top of the roof cage, resembling almost the mast of a ship. Ukraine managed to captured the EW-stacked T-72B3 variant after it was knocked out in a recent attack.

Такой вот Т-72Б3 подбитый в ходе очередной атаки в районе н.п. Терны. Судя по всему настройка на козырьке для РЭБ. Но действовала Арта.

France reportedly intends to hand over hundreds of VAB APCs to Ukraine. Ukraine had previously received some. While not particularly impressive, Ukraine badly needs any armored vehicles it can get, and this is a very logical move. One can only wonder why it took this long.
