The Russian-Ukrainian War Thread

[KipPotapych]

Ukrainians have used Storm Shadows inside Russia for the first time, in the Kursk Oblast. The target was a building looking like an old palace, previousely used as a sanatorium according to this Times Radio guest. They threw around 10 Storm Shadows at this target alone. That's an impressive use of ressources, given that they have only a few dozen of them. So this should be a very important target. Probably a headquarter where generals were meeting at the time of the attack.

If that was the target, then all 10 missiles that landed missed it.

The target most likely was the two buildings (I suspect it could just as well be one of them, if the target was actually a command post, and some missiles simply missed, or it could be just the barracks) not far from the “old palace” because those two buildings are the ones that got hit. Confirmation from the UAV and geolocation in these posts:

Pogrębki (Little Graves in local language...)

The word has nothing to do with “graves”, neither big nor little (or anything else to do with burials or death or whatever).

In Kursk, while no significant advances have been made by Russia lately, the Ukrainian controlled territory and the grey zone, as reported by Deepstate, changed quite a bit in the past couple of days.



As for North Koreans, note that aside from reports, mostly by the Ukrainian officials and top rank (who lie almost every time their mouths are open), we have not seen any actual evidence of them participating in the fighting. I said a while ago I will believe it when I see it and I haven’t seen it yet.


I am amazed at people (even some that appear to be fairly reasonable at times) suggesting that no Russian nuclear strike of any kind in response to the ATACMS/Shadow strikes is a confirmation of no red lines and the like. It is an especially odd expectation because all that has been hit so far is an ammo depot that has been already hit one month ago and some barracks that may or may not have been a command post 40 or so km from the Ukrainian border. Note that the latter was already hit with HIMARS previously as well. To think that Russia is going to send a nuke or two somewhere because of it is pretty crazy. To think that there will be no retaliation of any kind is just as naive (but maybe not as crazy).

If the reports are correct, Ukraine had used 8 ATACMS and 12 Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles in the past two days in Russia.


Regarding Toretsk and previously reported Ukrainian counterattacks and a fair bit of advancement as a result. I am still confused about it. Like I said before, not everyone reported those counterattacks or any Ukrainian forward movement in the area at all. For the past few days it has been reported by almost every mapper I follow that Russians are controlling the area where Ukrainians had allegedly advanced. For example:

EU membership depends on Ukraine addressing corruption and NATO entry would be more likely if EU membership is granted. A long process IMO.

No E. European country has joined the EU before joining NATO. Six joined almost at the same time, in 2004 but they joined NATO slightly (just over a month) before the EU. Six others joined the EU from three to five years after joining NATO. Three are members of NATO but not the EU. All are candidates to join the EU, but membership has not yet been agreed.

I'm curious if it had no payload or had a conventional payload (it's pretty clear it didn't have a nuclear one). The latter might suggest Russia has gone ahead with a version of what the US termed Prompt Global Strike. Also, it has to be said; "Russia has no way to escalate this conflict further" .

EDIT: Putin claims this is a new Russian missile system called Oreshnik. I suspect it might have been designed with input from Iran, but with Russian technology being the basis for it. Iran operates quite a few conventional ballistic missiles below the ICBM but well above something like an ATACMS or even an Iskander.

 

[Fredled]

This video shows clearly where the missiles hit.
According to the commentator and other analysts I have heard elsewhere, they hit a Soviet era underground bunker.
All the 12 missiles hit the target. They all exploded at the same place. They really wanted to destroy one precise item, not a range of barracks or hangars. The missiles explode slightly after the impact, which suggest a bunker buster payload.
One explanation why the Ukrainians fired so many Storm Shadows at once is that they expected that half of them would be intercepted by air defence.
There is also a smartphone video filmed from the ground, but I don't have any link to it. Maybe by searching, you will find it.

n Kursk, while no significant advances have been made by Russia lately, the Ukrainian controlled territory and the grey zone, as reported by Deepstate, changed quite a bit in the past couple of days.

They finally withdrew from the encirclement...

I have heard of Ukrainian counter-attack but not of permanent advance. Russians returned to their positions after the counter attack.
_________________
ICBM on Dnipro

an attack on the eastern Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday morning was carried out using "a new conventional intermediate-range missile".
The missile, codenamed Oreshnik, was a response to the use by Ukraine of US and UK long-range weaponry to hit targets inside Russia.

Russia could attack military facilities of those countries which allowed their weapons to be used for this purpose

link

I'm curious if it had no payload or had a conventional payload (it's pretty clear it didn't have a nuclear one).

According to the videos, the missile had several warheads with little or no payload. There are explosion visible, but not large ones. IMO there were small payloads.
The warheads fell on a wide area, perhaps over one kilometre. It's not the best way to hit a precise target but destruction can be important in urabn area.
One thing is certain: The missile was not intercepted. This is normal because the Patriot and other systems Ukraine has are not able to intercept such missile.

IMO, it's Putin's scare tactic. Like saying "next time it could contain a nuclear warhead". But nobody is impressed. For Ukrainians, it's just one more air attack.

So there was an encirclement?

I have heard of Ukrainian counter-attack but not of permanent advance. Russians returned to their positions after the counter attack.

According to the sources I'm looking at Ukraine retains Makarovka, and has recaptured Verkhnekamenskoe in the Seversk salient. They've also pushed Russia out of the mine complex south of Chasov Yar and still hold it. The place where Ukraine attacked and then was pushed back was Toretsk.

Perhaps not all were real warheads. It may have been main warhead(s) with decoys/pen-aids. And it's probably not an ICBM.

This argument is stupid. In Kursk the local language is Russian, with some Surzhik, but it's not Ukrainian. Either way the word погреб (pogreb) means cellar in Russian and Ukrainian. The word погребки is plural of погребок which is a diminutive of погреб. The village is therefore called little cellars. Grave in Ukrainian (and Russian) is могила/mohyla, and burial is похoвання (ironically burial in Russian is погребение which is close to погреб which is a buried cellar, so whoever told you this meant little graves probably speaks Russian rather than Ukrainian).

It would be interesting to see the aftermath of the strikes.

This article talks about some “preliminary thoughts” on the strike/missile:

Russia's Experimental Ballistic Missile Used To Strike Ukraine Is Based On The RS-26 Rubezh

Details are emerging about Russia's new 'Oreshnik' ballistic missile and its genesis.

IMO, it's Putin's scare tactic. Like saying "next time it could contain a nuclear warhead". But nobody is impressed. For Ukrainians, it's just one more air attack.

A scheduled session of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) for 22 November has been cancelled. Members of parliament were warned of a potential Russian strike targeting the government quarter.

Ukrainian MPs were warned of possible strike on government quarter, parliament session cancelled – sources

www.pravda.com.ua

Seems like someone may be “impressed” after all. Seems like Russia can cancel a Rada session any time it wants. Seems like Russia demonstrated that they can potentially reliably strike strategic sites in Europe, avoiding the absolute majority of NATO air defences (like almost all?). Seems like they demonstrated that they can level any site in Ukraine at will (Rada clearly appreciated the message). They showed that the warning of the actual launch came from the Russians notifying the US 30 minutes before the launch, not somewhere else. They showed that they, even though they didn’t have to make such a notification (since not an ICBM, or so Putin specifically said), chose to do so indicating the desire to keep escalation managed, at least for now. They demonstrated that further escalation in Ukraine is possible (again, Rada appreciated the message). And so on. I believe many reasonable people are “impressed” and consideration will be taken in the future. This is undeniable snd very reasonable, in my opinion.

The good news here, notification of the Americans by the Russians aside, is that they probably have very limited number of these missiles, but likely enough for the intended purpose. The bad news is that Russia is expanding its production capacities:

Russia is expanding its solid-propellant motor-production facilities

Russia’s latest expansion and refurbishment of its solid-propellant motor production facilities signals a significant step towards bolstering its missile-manufacturing capabilities.

www.iiss.org

This is in addition to the current estimated stockpile of the “basic” missiles that they regularly use in Ukraine sitting at over 1,500 and increasing:

Russia Boosts Missile Production, Stockpiles At Least 1,500 for Ukraine Strikes

Russia has ramped up production of ballistic Iskander missiles, while Kalibr missiles dominate its stockpiles.

www.kyivpost.com

The information provided above further supports the fact that Rada did get somewhat “impressed”.

I said, in local language. I didn't say it was in Russian.

And what language is that? (Edit: I see Feanor had already addressed this point)



“Rumours” are that a North Korean General was wounded in the Ukrainian strike at Maryino.

Drop some real nukes and cancel all kinds of sessions... it was never in doubt that Russian actions could cause a Ukrainian reaction. Presumably a massive regular strike wave aimed at Kiev could achieve a similar purpose. What's interesting is that this does in fact show some new capability and is a pretty overt threat to NATO. I'm also thinking of the... "exchange of pleasantries" between Iran and Israel where Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel, and in the past at the US. Quite a few of those got through as well.

 

[Fredled]

Perhaps not all were real warheads. It may have been main warhead(s) with decoys/pen-aids. And it's probably not an ICBM.

According to the Pentagon it was a intermediate-range ballistic missile.
It's already 20 years old, yet still classified as "experimental"...
How long does the Russians need to experiment?

“Rumours” are that a North Korean General was wounded in the Ukrainian strike at Maryino.

12 Storm Shadow only to wound one NK General. LOL. The article doesn't even say that he was wounded during this attack.
If it is, then the only survivor is a NK General who went outside the bunker to smoke a cigarette...

The village is therefore called little cellars.

Thanks for the language lesson. Comparing languages is amazing.

And what language is that?

It's in Polish. (Noticed the little tail under the "e"?)
Indeed, graves were built like little cellars in the past, and are still in some European countries. In Eastern countries, today the coffins are usually burried and covered directly with earth.

Weren't Poland/Ukraine/Lithuania the landlords of this area a few hundred years ago?

A system whose existence was only recently revealed and there's already so many details... truly amazing. On a serious note, I think we need to suspend judgement on what this is until we get more information. I wouldn't be surprised if it's derived from the RS-26 but different somehow. The RS-26 itself isn't 20 years old, it's first successful launch was in 2012. And missile programs (weapons programs in general) can very well last 20+ years especially as requirements change and technology advances. Russia also had a long period in the '90s and early '00s when funding was lacking so programs were technically running but not much actual work was being done. It would make perfect sense for this to be a new missile system derived from the RS-26 whose development started sometime in the past 10-20 years and which has now reached completion.

Thanks for the language lesson. Comparing languages is amazing.

I don't recall if Kursk region specifically was part of the Rzech Pospolita, but it would be possible. If we're reaching that far back, Russian itself wasn't the same language back then as it is today. For example Ivan III declared himself "ospodar' vseya Rusi" (господарь всея Руси) whereas today that would be "gospodin vsey Rusi" (господин всей Руси). We know this from the coins he had struck on that occasion. Even words like "tsar'" weren't really being used, Ivan IV declared himself Caesar not "Tsar" (after the conquest of the Golden Horde). Even in 1800s Russian literature when authors depict authentic patterns of speech from local populations (for example Dmitriy Mamin-Sibiryak) you will find language that today wouldn't quite fit modern Russian, Ukrainian, or Belorussian. And often the speakers didn't clearly identify their own language as something specific, they just didn't operate in those categories. They talked how they talked. So if you think the name goes back that far (and it might, though it well might not) then we would have to do a historic study of the circumstances of the naming and the dialect spoken in this area at that time to truly understand.

On a side note in modern Russian from nearby Voronezh region what I have heard referred to as a "pogrebok" was a small side-cellar under a house. For a long time I assumed that the words I learned were simply normal Russian, but actually there's regional specificity for many of them, so I don't really know if this is the name for that specific architectural feature or just what people in that area called them.

I'm going to omit things that others have posted from my updates to reduce the volume and workload in providing this. I don't want anyone to think I'm not aware of these facts or am arguing that they didn't happen because of the omission.

Russian forces have taken Dal'nee, south of Kurakhovo. The pocket between Kurakhovo and Bogoyavlenka is also closing as Russian forces continue to take pieces. Ukrainian forces are in the string of villages along the river there. Dal'nee is fully under Russian control and the road to Kurakhovo there is cut.

Velikaya Novoselka.

This is the former Vremyevskiy Bulge area where Russian forces are now approaching Velikaya Novoselka across a wide front from the south east, east, and north east. Russian forces are now two tree lines away from the eastern outskirts, and are one treeline away from Razdol'noe. It's also likely there aren't good defenses from the east there. South-west of the village Russian forces have taken Rovnopol' and are attacking Novodarievka. Even as Russian forces advance Ukraine has counter-attacked and recaptured Makarovka. This isn't the particularly significant portion of the area, the real threat is Russian advances north-east of Velikaya Novoselka.

I have no personal experience with the Russian shotguns, but there is about zero chance I would trust a Turkish shotgun even at a friendly competition shooting clays. Of course, beggars can’t be choosers, but still.

Pokrovsk area.

Russian forces continue to advance west and north of Pokrovsk. at this point not only Novoalekseevka, but Petrovka, Yurievka, and Grigorievka have all fallen. Russian forces have also gained consderable ground west of Pokrovsk. It's still not obvious which direction this offensive is meant to develop in. Meanwhile inside Chasov Yar Russian forces have broken into the center of town and by some reports are assaulting the factory complex there.

I am not sure if intentional, but there is Chasov Yar mention in the very beginning of the Pokrovsk section. Just thought I would bring it up in case it was not intentional.

On this note, thanks for the update. It is a massive one!

Drop some real nukes and cancel all kinds of sessions... it was never in doubt that Russian actions could cause a Ukrainian reaction. Presumably a massive regular strike wave aimed at Kiev could achieve a similar purpose. What's interesting is that this does in fact show some new capability and is a pretty overt threat to NATO. I'm also thinking of the... "exchange of pleasantries" between Iran and Israel where Iran fired ballistic missiles at Israel, and in the past at the US. Quite a few of those got through as well.

But now it is a phone call away!

Seriously though, the Rada part was mostly said in jest (related to the “no one was impressed” comment). It is, however, valid enough, in my opinion. The fact that Rada cancelled a scheduled session because of this particular threat is meaningful. Embassies, including American, closing their doors because of the intel about this particular threat is also meaningful. Neither has happened in a long time in Kyiv. We can assume that the latter event happened due to the potential risk of a nuclear strike (highly unlikely though, in my opinion), the former was definitely a reaction to what we have seen.

While we all (I think all?) know that Rada and other “critical political” infrastructure is still there because it hasn’t really ever been targeted, one or two of these missiles with (real) conventional payloads should probably be more effective - in terms of both, the desired result and cost - than a usual massive strike that we are now used to, when “aiming” at a place like this:

View attachment 52032

Precise accuracy is not an issue here. What I am trying to say is that this is an actual threat, a new threat, to the Ukrainian infrastructure that they have no means to defend against.

Last thing related to the impressions that there were none of part. Ukraine had requested a meeting with NATO due to this event (scheduled for the 26th of November), in Ukrainian:

https://suspilne.media/885945-ukraina-i-nato-provedut-zasidanna-cerez-udar-rf-novou-raketou/

They are going to ask for THAAD now (good luck wth getting any of those; in other words, it ain’t happening). Under a paywall, so the relevant part:

Ukraine is waiting for experts to confirm the type of missile that was used, the country’s Foreign Ministry said later on Thursday. Kyiv will ask its Western partners for air defense systems capable of intercepting ICBMs, the ministry’s spokesman said.

One of the systems Ukraine could ask for is the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system produced by Lockheed Martin Corp, the spokesman said.

Russia Uses ‘New’ Missile to Strike Ukraine as War Escalates

Ukraine said Russia launched a “new” kind of ballistic missile at the city of Dnipro, in the latest escalation of hostilities and an alarming signal to Kyiv’s Western backers.

www.bloomberg.com

An interesting statement from Budanov (by the way, this is the first time I heard of him in weeks, after all the “rumours” of him soon to follow fate of Zaluzhny):

GUR chief Kyrylo Budanov said Friday that the missile is experimental and that Ukraine knows that at least two test versions were set to be made. The missile is not yet in “series production, thank God,” he said Friday.

“The fact that they used it in a nuclear-free version is, as they say, a warning from them, that they are not completely crazy,” he said.

Podolyak, in a not imressed fashion, being Podolyak:

“This is all testing,” Podolyak said. “And now there is a new attempt — an intercontinental attack on the civilian population. What’s next?”

Both quotes are from the the same article:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/22/ukraine-russia-missiles-war/

Podolyak, by the way, insists that no “Oreshnik” exists and Putin, being delusional, makes up names for the ICBM missiles that Russia has plenty of. This is from the interview that the part quoted in the article above was cited from (in Ukrainian):

I do completely agree in regard to the threat to NATO. I am sure there will have to be some recalculations made about defense related to this development.

Anyway, I do not think anyone is going to hit Rada or the presidential palace in the immediate future, be it with these “new” missiles or anything else. Overall, I do agree with this reasoning a fair bit:



Source: x.com

Yet I do believe this is also a new and a real threat to Ukraine as well. Not that it is going to be the new norm, but definitely something to be aware of.


There have recently been some reports of the North Korean troops being in Kharkiv, Mariupol, Zaporozhie, among many other places. One Ukrainian official said recently that they are all over the front now or something like that. This is extremely unlikely (I would call it idiotic, personally) and there was now a confirmation that there are no NK troops in Kharkiv, at least:

Contrary to recent reports by Ukrainian media, there is currently no North Korean military presence in Kharkiv Oblast, the Ukrainian military said on Nov. 22.

The statement was issued by Kharkiv Operational Group, which coordinates Ukrainian defense forces in the region.

“We inform you that the statement about the presence of North Korean military personnel in Kharkiv Oblast does not correspond to reality,” the Telegram post said.

No evidence of NK troops in Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine says

Contrary to recent reports by Ukrainian media, there is currently no North Korean military presence in Kharkiv Oblast, the Ukrainian military said on Nov. 22.

There are now reports (I would say it is confirmed at this point) that the Russians are in Velika Novosilka and things are evolving relatively quickly. This map of fortifications shows why this is the case and why it is important for the Ukrainians to hold it “at all costs”:



Source for the map: x.com. In red are trenches, in yellow are the anti-tank ditches, and blue are dragon teeth (the latter two have very little meaning currently, in my opinion).

Some may remember that I talked about that a couple of months ago, more or less: when the Pokrovsk offensive “had stalled”. This is arguably the worst case scenario (in the current circumstances) for Ukraine slowly unravelling. We will see what happens. They clearly need substantial reinforcements in the area, but they reportedly keep sending them to Kursk.


Last thing that is completely irrelevant, really. My Polish is extremely limited, as in I know a few words and can catch some others in a conversation (the conversation that I would not understand, really). However, I am fairly certain that “grave” in Polish is “grob” and “pogrebki” may refer to the process of burial, but not a grave itself. What I know for a fact is that Kursk itself was never captured by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Whether the area where Pogrebki is was ever controlled by them, I have no idea; if it was, likely not long enough to establish some names that are used today. I also know for a fact that Polish is not a “local language” there. Feanor is correct in saying that the name likely refers to “cellars”. I think there are one or two more villages with this name in both Russia and Ukraine. They all refer to the same thing, which is “cellars”. It would be interesting if someone from Poland chimed in on this irrelevant discussion, as far as this thread is concerned. But it sure is interesting (to me).

Sorry, maybe wasn’t clear. The map was chosen for the illustration of the fortifications, which explains why the front is moving the way it is. Also shows why it is very important to hold Velika Novosilka.

Most maps show more or less the same thing in terms of location of the frontline, just different representation. There was fighting within the city limits reported yesterday for the first time.

Russians are going to grab a huge chunk of land within the next couple/few months if nothing changes. It actually all evolved faster than I thought it would when I talked about it a couple of months ago. The southern front will not hold either if they are permitted to attack from the east and south simultaneously. I guess it is open to interpretation what happens from there on.

I have no personal experience with the Russian shotguns, but there is about zero chance I would trust a Turkish shotgun even at a friendly competition shooting clays. Of course, beggars can’t be choosers, but still.

We've seen Russian soldiers with breech-loading double-barrel hunting pieces. We've also seen anti-drone pickets without a shotgun just carrying an AK. I think they will use what they can get.

This is arguably the worst case scenario (in the current circumstances) for Ukraine slowly unravelling. We will see what happens. They clearly need substantial reinforcements in the area, but they reportedly keep sending them to Kursk.

The section along which Russian troops are steadily advancing has widened pretty drastically. It started as a push west of Avdeevka, well that corridor is still pushing just west of Selidovo now. But they're also pushing south of it in the Kurakhovo area and now in the Velikaya Novoselka area. We may see November be another record month for Russian gains. It's to the point where they're making napoleonic plans for reconstruction in Donetsk now that the front line has moved, and we're likely to see the rail line Donetsk-Mariupol' re-open. So it's generally good for Russia. But it's not catastrophically bad for Ukraine. The main problem Ukraine continues to face is lack of resources and lack of manpower. The territorial losses are symptoms of those root causes. I think we will see some sort of attempt by Ukraine to change the pattern over the next 6 months. It might mean lowering the mobilization age, or trying to get the west involved more directly somehow. One of the things with Russia's successes in the Donbas is that while they achieve Russia's stated goals in the war, they don't necessarily force a Ukrainian surrender.

Kursk area.

Russian forces continue to bite off small pieces in Kursk region but nothing decisive is taking place. Russia did capture Orlovka and Novaya Sorochina. Meanwhile a Ukrainian counter-attack recaptured most of Plekhovo.

Ukrainians manage to make small advances in the east of the Kursk salient (east of Sudzha). These advances are small and don't compensate for the losses in the north and the west, but show that Ukrainians are not desperate and are able of initiative.

Kurakhovo area.

North of the reservoir Russian forces continue to push westward. Il'yinka, Novaya Il'yinka, and part of Berestki have been taken. Note, Novaya Il'yinka is part of Kurakhovo, though north of the reservoir. Russian forces have captured southern Sontsovka. Inside Kurakhovo Russia now holds a third of the town. Russian forces have taken Dal'nee, south of Kurakhovo. The pocket between Kurakhovo and Bogoyavlenka is also closing as Russian forces continue to take pieces. Ukrainian forces are in the string of villages along the river there. Dal'nee is fully under Russian control and the road to Kurakhovo there is cut.

Ukrainians retreat from the entire area south of the Kurakhove reservoir: Between Dalne in the north and Trudove in the south-west.
Russians are also pushing from the east. They have reached Romanivka (if I spell it correctly), in the string of villages aligned east-west.

Velikaya Novoselka.

This is the former Vremyevskiy Bulge area where Russian forces are now approaching Velikaya Novoselka across a wide front from the south east, east, and north east.

The fall of Vuhledar caused a rapid advance in this area. Velikaya Novoselka and Kurakhove are the areas where Russian advances are the most important in speed and real estate taken.
The fact that Leo-2A4s are seen in these areas shows that Ukrainian commanders don't let this part of the front without modern weapons.
They didn't send everything to Kursk.
___________________

On a side note in modern Russian from nearby Voronezh region what I have heard referred to as a "pogrebok" was a small side-cellar under a house. For a long time I assumed that the words I learned were simply normal Russian, but actually there's regional specificity for many of them, so I don't really know if this is the name for that specific architectural feature or just what people in that area called them.

The common name in Russian for a cellar is "padval". That's the word I heard the most often. My wife who is a native Russian speaker explained to me that "pogrebok" is a traditional, albeit still in use, word which refers to a food cache under the kitchen in villages or to a semi underground food storage under a tumulus. Whereas "padval" refers to an underground floor under a building or a modern house, where you will find technical installations, and where you can also store food if you want. Conclusion: If you visited Russia in rural areas, you may have heard the word "pogrebok" more often.
