Ukrainan konflikti/sota

Anton Gerashchenko jakaa mielenkiintoisen ryssän propagandistin tuumailun, harvinaisen suoraa ja rehellistä puhetta:

Russian Z-propagandist Maksim Kalashnikov publicly admits that Putin’s so-called "liberation" army has brought nothing but destruction to the residents of Donbas and other occupied territories of Ukraine.

"We came to 'liberate' Russian regions, but we’ve turned them into ruins. It turns out we’ve punished the most Russian, most developed regions of Novorossiya.

Unfortunately, yes, we’ll have to say goodbye to Ukraine - to the dream of reunification. Well, not say goodbye, but bid it farewell for a very, very long time. The chance was missed in 2014," he says.

Mielenkiintoinen kolmeminuuttinen tuumailu, kirjasin Gerashchenkon tekstityksen pelkäksi tekstiksi jos haluaa lukea sen eikä katsoa videota:

What kind of general offensive could we possibly be talking about?

What Odesa, what Zaporizhzhia – there could be battles for large cities that would simply become a meat grinder for our forces?

We’ll just wear ourselves out even more if we start another mobilization. The economy will begin to fall three times faster, you understand?

During this campaign, we didn’t even put their energy system out of action, and don’t even get me started on “decapitation” – we basically didn’t try.

Over three and a half years we’ve simply eaten up the resources that could have been used for a quick victory. That’s it – there are no resources left; the economy…look at what’s happening.

We’ve found ourselves up to our chests in the quagmire of a protracted war, and that quagmire could start to suck in the economy, because if the rear’s economy collapses, it will be impossible to keep fighting – on the contrary, we’ll have to accept the most disadvantageous terms from the enemy.

What’s happening now is precisely the result of gigantic failures in management and organization. And no matter how many Shanghai Cooperation meetings you attend or whom you talk to – whether Xi Jinping or Trump – if those failures aren’t fixed, nothing will help.

Supposedly we came to “liberate” Russian regions, but we’ve turned them into ruins because of this drawn-out war. It turns our we’ve punished the most Russian, most developed regions of Novorossiya, even though we should have taken them in 2014 – we could have taken them intact.

I look at the Vovchansk Aggregate Plant – what a great piece of machinery it was. Now it’ gone.

We’re in a very dangerous position, stuck in a war we got ourselves into; meanwhile an economic crisis is developing at home that we can’t fight because all the resources are going to the war, damn it.

Well, who do you blame for that? Are Xi and Trump going to solve this problem for us?

The war will spill over into a terrible systemic crisis here.

Unfortunately, yes, we’ll have to say goodbye to Ukraine – to the dream of reunification. Well, not goodbye, but bid it farewell for a very, very long time. The chance was missed in 2014. We’ll apparently have to accept that Ukraine will retain this anti-Russian, pro-Western statehood.

First we’ll need to rebuild, above all, the Russian Federation – turn it into a showcase.

Mielenkiintoista nähdä numeroita siitä miten tämä "Yak-52 potkurikone + kiväärimies takapenkillä" viritys on suoriutunut (tässä lainataan WSJ:n artikkelia joka on maksumuurin takana ja joka on julkaistu 24.8.2025)

WSJ: Two Ukrainians — a 56-year-old hobby pilot and a 38-year-old mechanic — fly a Soviet Yak-52 with a rifle to down Russian drones.

In a year, they’ve flown ~300 missions, shooting down nearly 60 of their unit’s 120 kills.


Katso liite: 124828

Part of Ukraine’s 11th Army Aviation Brigade, the duo uses a Yak-52 trainer in tactics echoing WWI dogfights.

With no radar, they rely on ground radio guidance before spotting targets, mainly Russian Orlan, Zala recon drones and Shahed kamikaze drones.

Flying a Yak-52 at 180+ mph, faster than drones’ 115 mph, pilot “Maestro” and gunner “Ninja” close in to within 200–300 ft of targets.

Ninja, comparing it to “shooting a gun while riding a horse,” uses a German Haenel MK55 rifle to bring drones down.

Ukraine’s Yak-52 squadron downs 10-12% of daily Russian drones, per Col. Lykhatskiy. At times, pilots even clip drones with their wings, echoing WWII tactics vs. V-1s.

Russian strikes have targeted them, destroying their original plane in a missile attack.

In July, squadron commander Kostyantyn Oborin was killed by a missile strike on his hangar. Russia now equips drones with rear cameras to spot pursuers.

The unit also uses vintage missiles and truck-mounted guns — cheap tactics to complement costly air defenses.

Viestissä myös kerrotaan, että venäjä on onnistunut paikantamaan tämän yksikön ilmatukikohdan ainakin kahdesti:

Montaa uutista sodan aikana en ole lukenut, missä ukraina on myöntänyt venäjän onnistuneita iskuja ilmatukikohtiin.

Muistan että tuosta kuolleesta oli puhetta joko keväällä tai kesällä, tässäkin ketjussa. Silloin ei ollut tiedossa kuoleman syytä eli oliko kesken taistelutehtävän vai sellaisen ulkopuolella.

Muistan että "Odessan ilmailuseuranta" tjsp johtaja oli kyseessä ja Odessa on juuri se kaupunki, jonka seudulla ainakin osa näistä Yak-52 potkurikoneista on lentänyt, pääasiassa ryssän ISR-lennokkeja pudottamassa (tosin tuon tuoreen uutisjutun perusteella ovat pudottaneet myös muita droneja, mukaanlukien Shahed-136 / Geran-2).

Nyt kun on nimi Kostiantyn Oborin taas tiedossa niin pikaisella haulla löytyy tämä uutinen joka on julkaistu 19.7.2025:

During a combat mission in the Dnipropetrovsk region, the director of the Odessa Aviation Club, retired colonel Konstantin Oborin, was killed. He was 63 years old. His daughter Polina announced his death in a statement on social media.

“Sadly, ‘Kamikaze’ Kostiantyn Oborin — our father, grandfather, beloved husband, legendary warrior — is no more. It happened yesterday during a mission. Unfortunately, our superhero wasn’t immortal,” she wrote.

Oborin led the Odesa branch of the Afghan War Veterans Union and the aviation club at the city’s Hydroport. A veteran of the Soviet war in Afghanistan, he dedicated his life to supporting fellow veterans and promoting parachuting and aviation as rehabilitation. His life motto, “the sky heals,” became a source of strength and recovery for many.

In 2014, risking his life, Oborin personally evacuated 29 Ukrainian soldiers from captivity. In 2022, he honored the last wish of his student, Hero of Ukraine Vladyslav Buvalkin, by scattering his ashes over Odesa from the air.

“This year, I had the honor of presenting Colonel Oborin with the Hryhorii Marazli Medal, 3rd Class. Kostiantyn was more than a serviceman — he was a mentor, a volunteer, a friend, and an example to many. His death is a painful loss for all of Odesa,” said Mayor Hennadii Trukhanov.

Oborin remained active in combat missions even at 63. He died staying true to his oath, his comrades, and Ukraine.
 
Tässä on hyvin mielenkiintoinen ranskalainen OSINT-tili, Soupedesques83 nimeltään jota kannattaa seurata.

Hän julkaisee paljon satelliittikuvia ja FIRMS-kuvia, mutta kerää myös dataa talteen Ukrainan tekemistä iskuista.

Hän aloitti tällaisen ketjun kirjoittamisen mutta poisti sen jostain syystä, kenties ei ollut tyytyväinen sanoihin tai kuviin. Mielenkiintoisia kuvia, joten laitan sen kaksi ensimmäistä viestiä jakoon ja korjaan linkityksen hänen ketjuun mikäli julkaisee tästä myöhemmin uuden vedoksen.
