Ukrainian maritime drones have tried to attack Russian civilian vessels in the Black Sea, but were destroyed by Russian navy escort ships, the Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday.

In a statement, the ministry claimed that “overnight, the Kiev regime tried to stage a terror attack on Russian civilian transport ships heading for the Bosporus Strait in the southwestern part of the Black Sea, which used three semi-submersible unmanned boats.”

Earlier in the day, defense officials said that Ukrainian drones had mounted an unsuccessful attack in the same area on two Russian patrol vessels, the Sergey Kotov and Vasily Bykov, adding that the ships continued their operations.

The Sergey Kotov had previously been attacked by two Ukrainian sea drones in the Black Sea last week but managed to destroy the incoming UAVs.

This is a very short video with barely any detail, just one tiny thing in the raging conflict, but it shows a solitary Ukrainian soldier surrendering to a group of Russians, coming forward all on his own, limping, with his hands up.

One has to assume he was the only surviving member of his unit. There's carnage happening there.

From the Wall Street Journal yesterday:

Since the beginning of the SMO(Special Military Operation), approximately 20,000 to 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers have lost one or more limbs. This scale of limb loss is comparable to WWI, during which around 67,000 Germans and 41,000 Britons also lost limbs.

The actual number of affected individuals might be even higher, as prosthetics take time to be provided, and some wounded individuals have to wait weeks or even months for amputation.

This new Politico article is interesting. Here's the headline:

Ukraine’s plan if Russia assassinates Zelenskyy

If this were a Tom Clancy movie, the script might be that US special forces murder Zelensky as a false flag, blame it on Russia, and set him up as a martyr — maybe his only remaining value to western propaganda.

• NATO Are Responsible For Pushing Mass Suicide Missions ... sacrificing 100,000s Ukrainian fathers, uncles, sons etc. and many are forced to fight for a totally corrupt undemocratic Tyrants that hijacked the country!

What we all have learned by now is that Tanks/Armored Vehicles are useless in any 2023 war ... Because of much cheaper weaponized drones warfare! (easier to mass produce).

And maybe USA/UK/Germany (NATO) knows that and want to get rid of the old stuff (dumping it in Ukraine calling it "help" to fight for "Democracy" = double deception & insanity!) ... All done to eventually invest new generation warfare equipment of all kinds ... (semi-) autonomous future A.I. warfare included.

Ukraine Using Colorful Toy-like Bombs to Kill Civilians as West Runs Out of Ammo 2 hours ago

When it comes to the use of artillery and missiles, Ukraine’s strategy has baffled Western and Russian observers alike, with troops expending precious and dwindling stocks of NATO-caliber ammunition to terror bomb civilians in Donbass. Now, the Ukrainian military appears to have found a low cost, barbaric workaround.

Enthusiast weapons makers in Ukraine and Europe are churning out cheap, home-made munitions, their casings made of 3D-printed plastics, and given cutesy names like "Zaychik" ("Little Rabbit") "Big Egg," and "Zefirka" (a confectionery treat popular across the former Soviet Union).
Low cost is the name of the game, with the shells, which can be made for as little as $3.85 apiece, packed with C4 explosives mixed with steel shrapnel, ball bearings, or a copper and aluminum combo, and designed to be dropped from drones onto people or armored vehicles.
The munitions are called "candy bombs," apparently due to the multicolored plastics often used in their production.
One Kiev-based group of amateur bombmakers reportedly manufactures casings for about 4,000 bombs per month. A second Ukraine-based group has churned out over 30,000 over the past four months.

“Candy bombs" come in different shapes and sizes, with anti-personnel bombs packed with explosives and metal fragments, meant to sprawl into the surrounding environment and sear into flesh. Larger, 5 kg anti-personnel bombs are said to have proven effective up to 20 meters from the point of detonation.
Some of the bombs were reportedly originally packed with nails, but this was switched to metal pieces after testing showed that the nails would partially vaporize on detonation. Makers say they would prefer to use ball bearings, but these are expensive and availability is limited.
Larger "candy bombs" are made for use against armored vehicles, packed with a copper and aluminum mixture which transforms into a plasma jet to puncture armor.
The bomb-making enthusiasts are said to be constantly honing their craft to make them more effective, with amateur engineers even reportedly asking ChatGPT for advice, and using other software to model lethality.
A Ukrainian trooper operating in Donbass estimated that Ukraine's drones carry upwards of 200 different kinds and sizes of "candy bombs," with efforts underway to standardize production.

‘Shrubs’ hindering Ukrainian counteroffensive – UK military 3 Aug, 2023

Earlier media reports suggested that Kiev’s Western backers are unimpressed with its efforts to breach Russian lines

https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2023.08/...7b641d64f9.jpg

Growing vegetation on the battlefield is hampering Ukrainian attempts to breach Russian defenses, the UK Defense Ministry claimed on Thursday. :chuckle:

In its regular intelligence update, the ministry described “undergrowth regrowing” in the southern part of the front as a likely factor “contributing to the generally slow progress of combat in the area.”

UK officials explained that arable land, which is abundant in the region, has been “left fallow for 18 months, with the return of weeds and shrubs accelerating under the warm, damp summer conditions.”

According to the ministry, this provides extra camouflage cover for Russian troops and complicates Kiev’s mine-sweeping efforts. “Although undergrowth can also provide cover for small stealthy infantry assaults, the net effect has been to make it harder for either side to make advances,” it added.

Max Blumenthal and Stephen Gardner discuss the evil in DC. Colonel Douglas Macgregor and Tucker Carlson have said Donald Trump's biggest sin was the threat to interrupt the money flow to the military-industrial-congressional complex. Ukraine is being used by DC to enrich government contractors. The "real war" is between DC and Putin with so much financial interest involved, DC will let Ukraine bleed to death before they give up their profits. Zelenskyy is a pawn in a money-grabbing scheme. DC is loaded with corrupt people making more money off this war than ever before so they fly their flags to support Ukraine but really they are supporting their huge incomes.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian diplomats massively refuse to return to the country - "Mirror of the Week"

🔹 Since the beginning of 2022, 40-60% of diplomats have not returned from Ukrainian embassies abroad.

🔹 For example, about twenty employees of embassies and consulates were supposed to return from the United States last year, but only one returned. From some embassies no one returned at all.

One of the factors for refusing to return to Ukraine is the fear of mobilization, the newspaper writes.

Let's see. Leopard tanks are at a score of about minus 25 compared to their possible gain of two unimportant villages very temporarily.


For the clusters:


The Ukrainian forces fired those munitions every eight minutes with great precision, the soldier said, noting that it is difficult to hide from this kind of weaponry in a trench.

Yet despite the severity of the threat, the Russian soldiers did not sustain any casualties during the shelling as they quickly learned how to counter this tactic.


Swedish CV-90:


The armored vehicle, touted as one of the most advanced of its class, ended up being disabled by a rocket fired from an RPG-7 – a weapon adopted back in the early 1960s – and promptly seized by Russian troops after what was left of the vehicle’s crew beat a hasty retreat.


The offensive in Zaporozhie:

If Ukraine wasn't so doggone big, with millions of hectares of prime agricultural land, and millions of tons of a huge variety of valuable metals under that, then, this destruction would not be so widespread.

One would expect Odessa to no longer be a part of it, nor the other oblasts bordering the ones that already seceded, plus a buffer zone if there are any long-range missiles to be found, which would be a removal of 43% of the territory it held only a few short years ago.

That is a lot of work, and, realistically, they do hit about twenty Russian targets per day, which simply can't compete with the two hundred that hit them. The eight guys that know English well enough to actually be trained on the F-16 had better be glad that one person can fly the Falcon. That means it is enough to compose a squadron in a limited sense of the word. Will they be able to evade the oldest generation of Buks? Fire a shot of their own? No promises, but, guys, you are being really brave with this.
