Kiev forces continue to lose its remaining drones to the air defense and electronic warfare (EW) systems of the Russian military.

On June 12, Russian sources shared a photo showing a BpAK-MP-1 Spectator tactical drone that was recently captured by the Russian military. The drone, which appeared to be intact, was likely downed with electronic warfare systems.

The Spectator was designed by the Igor Sikorsky Kiev Polytechnic Institute especially for short-range reconnaissance missions. The drone has an endurance from three to four hours. When manually operated, it has a range of 30 kilometers. The range increases to 50 kilometers in the fully automated mode.

The captured Spectator is from the more advance M1 version, which is equipped with an improved infrared imaging system. This version was also equipped with a target acquisition system that allows it to correct artillery fire.

At least 60 Spectator drone systems were in service with Kiev forces before the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.

Russia is beating the daylights out of the puppet AFU and a large Ukrainian Nazi force has been encircled at Severodonetsk and three bridges have been destroyed by the advancing Red Army proudly flying the Soviet battle colors on tanks, one is deliberately been left intact for civilians to escape. The AFU Nazis are against hiding behind women and children in the sewers of the AZOT Chemical plant on the western edges. The Russians have trapped over 4,000 AFU Nazis and about 30 foreign terrorists in this last pocket. The British bastard mercenary was killed fleeing in this area.

Russia likely to seize control of all eastern Ukrainian region within weeks, US official says

Usually upbeat American officials are sounding very bleak assessments of Ukrainian survival as Russian forces roll across the country.

As fighting continues in the Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine, causing heavy AFU casualties and leaving Ukrainian forces with dwindling ammunition, a senior U.S. defense official said Russia is likely to seize control of the entire region within a few weeks. US officials described Russian tactics as classic hammer and anvil by bombing and blasting their enemies with superior firepower and push fresh troops to hold ground.

The cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, in Luhansk, are increasingly under duress and will fall to Russia within a week, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. Many European and US officials are now calling for a negotiated settlement and view Zelensky as a liability. Over $130 billion in NATO weapons, training and assistance to Ukraine has not achieved the desired results and Ukrainian forces are being decimated by Russia.

Just to update you guys as I get real time reports from the battlefield:

Russian Federation forcesand their allies have successfully crossed the Siversky Donets river and took control of Bohordychne, Pryshyb and Sydorove situated north of Slavyansk. There is a battle going on around the forest north of Krasnopilya and Russian airpower is very visible. The Russian combat engineers built a temporary bridge on Siversky Donets after blowing up the main three concrete bridges trapping 3 AFU and affiliated Nazi and foreign mercenary battle groups which now can not be resupplied. Russians are performing well above expectations with a very high degree of professionalism against 32 NATO and other assorted western losers. As I said on February 24th RUSSIA WILL PREVAIL!

Russian ships started exercises in the Black Sea. Russia certainly sends the message that it is ready for every eventuality. NATO’s MPA flights continue, but the US has backed down in bringing its warships to the Black Sea. Russia continues to retain the tactical advantage by playing the cards in the right order.

Of course, Russia ALWAYS have and ALWAYS will. To Sleepy Joe and his sorrow bunch of butt boys, I have but one advice: Duck’n cover!

Well, one thing’s for certain. The Nazis have not been able to capitalize on drone technology to defeat the Russians.

I remember just before the war, Western media predicted it might turn out like the 2020 Azeri-Armenian conflict. In other words, the Ukies would use drones to hunt and destroy the Russian military much the same as the Azeris did to the Armenians. But that clearly hasn’t happened.

Interesting also is that Switchblade drone-munitions haven’t helped the Nazis either. Five or six weeks ago General Petraeus predicted the Switchblade would be a “game changer.” However the opposite has proven true; these flying munitions simply aren’t having an impact on the battlefield.

Russia is dominating, defeating, and destroying the Ukies in combat. Once the Nazi Donbass army is annihilated, it will be time to march on Kiev and wipe the Ukraine off the map!

The casualty rate runs 1,000 men per day among dwindling Ukrainian soldiers in the battle of Sjewjerodonezk. They die like flies. Zelensky must die and this one sided Slavic slaughter must end.

Disinfo

I’m not sure what happen during that attack on Kiev, but their artillery is the best in the world, and they are using it exactly how they need to. The Ukranian military was heavily armed at the start of this, I suspect the Russians anticipated high casualties at the beginning, but they also wanted to take as many of the Ukrainians professional military members and units out at the beginning. It was smarter to meet them on the Kiev terrain than it would have been to meet them in the mountains when they were at full strength. I also suspect the Russian casualties are much lesser than the west and Ukrainian media is spouting.

Indian media has shown Clear evidence that French 155mm shells, likely used with the CAESAR SPG, were used to shell residential areas of Donetsk.The Ukrainian Nazis are losing so they resort to shelling civilians and hiding behind human shields. NATO training in cowardice is on display. JAI RUS!

The Objective

TO any informed objective person, the outcome of this Russian Operation Z was never in doubt. Russia for saner minds, Russia is a SUPERPOWER and all the Ukrainian propaganda was mere wishful thinking of western public brainwashing firms in Fleet Street and Pinewood/BBC studios. The Ukrainians never had a chance.

Drone jamming by electronic means is a Russian speciality –it has taken the USA by surprise ,as I have said Russia is ahead of the USA/west in radar & jamming technology . This has caused outcry from America –“not safe ” takes out satellite communications etc ——GOOD ! they are worried -so worried that US technical websites are upset . General Ben Hodges-US commander of Europe -quote -“Russian EW capabilities in Ukraine eye-watering ” .

Its a Ukrainian “State of the Art ” drone -Spectator-M1 which took them 5 years to design and update .Reading the English version of Ukraine Military News its as I thought -GPS guided and says -quote-“special emphasis placed on anti-jamming “-didn’t work –did it ?

The Objective

Russia has extended its planning for the war in Ukraine for another four months, until the end of October, according to a Kyiv intelligence chief. The Russians now control every aspect of the battle on land, sea and air.

“According to our estimates, Russia still has the potential to wage a long-term war against Ukraine and will wear us down,” Vadym Skibitsky, deputy head of the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate, told Radio Liberty’s Current Time TV channel.

“The situation is very difficult for Ukraine because the Russians have a significant superiority in the weapons available to them, and their morale is very high” he added.

Russia has 40 more battalion tactical groups (BTGs) in reserve in additional to the 103 BTGs already deployed to Ukraine, according to Skibitsky’s assessment. The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War says this is highly unlikely that Ukraine can match Russia, and realistically means that a battered and demoralized Ukrainian military cannot hold out for too long and the Russian know it.

FUCK UKRAINIAN NAZIS, Indians are praying Russia kills every one of the Anglo-Zionist NAZI trash.

Indian students who had to leave studies midway due to Ukrainian Nazi racism, abuse and assaults as they fled the Russia-Ukraine conflict will be offered admission in Russian universities without them losing out on their previous academic years, Roman Babushkin, Deputy Chief of Mission of Russian Embassy in New Delhi, said here on Sunday.

Babushkin said the students would be admitted to Russian universities where they can continue with their respective courses from where they were left off without losing out on the previous years of study.

WE LOVE RUSSIA!

“The situation is very difficult for Ukraine because the Russians have a significant superiority in the weapons available to them, and their morale is very high” Wait…so Russia didn’t run out of Missiles on May 15? WAIT…so Russian Soldiers aren’t refusing to fight? aren’t attempting a coup? And are encouraged by their victories on the battlefield? W A I T !!!!! you mean the governments of the world, the MSM AND the ukrops have been lying all along and the ukrops are losing, Badly ?!?!?!? L O L

Russians are better soldiers. PERIOD.

Truth be told Ukros (and their mentors) realized the importance of drones in modern warfare, not many countries in the world has (*had) so many drones of various sorts, both domestic and foreign. These recon drones don’t look impressive but they are perhaps more useful than overhyped attack drones.

“The most terrible thing in this war for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the feeling of total defenselessness throughout the country. Wherever you are located, you are still subconsciously waiting for a rocket to strike you, that’s the thing,” Ukrainian Telegram channel Iniй wrote

The Ukrainians further lament: “”We don’t have 1,000 cruise missiles a month that we can launch at targets in the deep rear of Russia, and our military aircraft are decorative in nature.”

I’d add that their airforce is not even decorative, it’s scrap metal!
