Russian MoD Briefing For Evening Of 16 April 2022

The Russian Armed Forces continue a special military operation in Ukraine.

During the day, high-precision airborne missiles hit 15 enemy targets. Among them: in the areas of Barvenkovo, Rubizhne, Popasna, Novozvanovka, Krasnoarmeysk, Selidovo, Novobakhmutovka, six sites of concentration of Ukrainian military equipment and seven strongholds of the Ukrainian troops were destroyed.

As a result of the strikes, more than 320 Ukrainian servicemen were killed and wounded, 23 armoured vehicles and seven vehicles of various purposes were destroyed.

Operational and tactical aviation destroyed 67 areas of concentration of Ukrainian military personnel and equipment during the day.

Rocket forces hit 317 military facilities, including: 274 strongholds and areas of concentration of the enemy’s manpower, 24 command posts and two field fuel storage facilities of Ukrainian troops.

Russian air defence forces near Odessa shot down a Ukrainian military transport aircraft delivering a large consignment of weapons supplied to Ukraine by Western countries.

Two Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down over Lozova and Veselaia.

A total of 134 aircraft, 460 unmanned aerial vehicles, 246 surface-to-air missile systems, 2,269 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 252 multiple rocket launchers, 987 pieces of field artillery and mortars, and 2,158 pieces of special military vehicles have been destroyed since the start of the special military operation.

The entire city area of Mariupol has been completely cleared of fighters of the Nazi formation Azov, foreign mercenaries and Ukrainian troops. The remnants of the Ukrainian group are now completely blockaded on the territory of the Azovstal iron and steel works. Their only chance to save their lives is to voluntarily lay down arms and surrender.

I remind you that at the time of its encirclement on 11 March, Mariupol was occupied by the 36th Independent Marines Brigade, the 109th Territorial Defence Brigade, the 503rd Independent Marines Battalion, a company of the 53rd Independent Mechanised Brigade, units of the 17th Antitank Brigade, the Nazi formations Azov, Aidar and Right Sector, police and State Border Service units as well as foreign mercenaries.

The total number of this group was around 8,100 people.

During the liberation of Mariupol, 1,464 Ukrainian servicemen surrendered. The number of those surrendering is increasing on a daily basis. This includes those who escaped from Azovstal’s territory.

According to their testimonies, the total number of Ukrainian servicemen, Nazis and foreign mercenaries who took refuge at Azovstal does not exceed 2,500.

Thus, as of 16 April, the Ukrainian grouping in Mariupol alone lost more than 4,000 people.

Therefore, Zelensky’s recent statements to the Western media that the irretrievable losses of the Ukrainian military during the operation allegedly amount to 2.5-3 thousand are a common lie for him.

The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation has reliable data on the true losses of the Ukrainian army, National Guard and arriving foreign mercenaries, which Zelensky is afraid to tell the people of Ukraine.

As of today, the irrecoverable losses are 23,367.

Separate data from Ukrainian documents on their losses, revealing the place of death and burial of the dead will be published shortly.

Targeting military transport planes sounds like a good strategy.

yep

No fly zone over entire Ukraine. Shoot down any non-Ru plane. With weapons or EUnuch politicians doesn’t matter.

They trayed that untill now, and……that also didn’t function. D o you think they did not tray and that you invented warm water again?

Info

Trayed?

Verb. tray (third-person singular simple present trays, present participle traying, simple past and past participle trayed) (transitive): to place (items) on a tray.

-Be sure to tray eggs with the large end up.

jens holm

They trayed, they tray and they will keep traying.

RealityOfWar

The report is strange, Ukraine would have to be desperate, stupid or mislead to think they would get away with a military transport mission, given the air defence systems Russia has deployed.

Rasputin

Yah I thought declaring complete air security meant the enemy has no aircraft left.

RealityOfWar

Yes Ukraine haven’t a clue – air security – it’s air supremacy and judging by this takedown and all the rest of them, Russia is pretty close to air supremacy. You can have aircraft left, the whole point is you can’t fly them without being attacked – just like this case.

Russians and Jews have a different definition of NAZI. Who Putin calls a NAZIE is basically anyone who opposes him.

Providing drinking water, forget about the sanitary need for water, for around 2500 people is a huge task. If the Russians find and cut the water pipes feeding into Azovstal’s territory then ukrainians would not last even one week.

RealityOfWar

Absolutely, and smart Generals go after the things that lessen fighting performance, they don’t just go headlong at the fighting. Infrastructure is finally getting the attention it deserves. It’s been pleasing today to see Russia going after infrastructure in a determined way. Water should not be available neither electricity, roads should be impassable for large convoys, railways the same. Then also its good to see them going after the body count – nothing like mechanistic high volume slaughter to deplete fighting material and demoralise the rest. It’s looking a lot better now!

John Rambo Zelensky is a clear loser. Zelensky destroyed his own country and butchering his own nation. During this Russian peace operation Zelensky lost everything, just the charity of NATO left with him. Now he looks like a militant or maybe he has adopted this militant guise to look like John Rambo.

I advise the Russian military to finally take the conduct of war from the hands of politicians. Who is the master of the house ? Who speaks for the state ? And most importantly, who speaks for the Army and the Russian people ? The timid Putin whom some commentators admire and celebrate as a cunning judo player and a mater strategist ? He is Kerensky at maximum, not more. The gloves are off now, so wake – up, Russia. You have many sympathisers across the globe, but the people who lead you are not worthy of the historic task you are facing. Get rid of the fifth column and post-Yeltsinist politicians mingled with bosses of big companies. Get your own “levée en masse” and win the war in a month and less decisively. Follow the examples of Alexander Nevskij, Dmitrij Donskij, Pjotr Velikij, Suvorov, Chujkov and Zhukov. Finish the Ukronazies and the rest. The glory will be yours forever ! Slava Rossiji ! Slava rossijskoj armiji i narodam Rossji!

As if I heard Peskov speaking. Napoleon did delegate his marshals and generals to carry on with the operations where he could not be in person. Except for Davout, Suchet, Saint-Cyr and Masséna. starting in 1808 and beyond, they were losing battles almost every time when fighting alone. The Romans knew better, the army is only as good as the commander-in-chief. I can produce dozens of examples from ancient to modern military history which I teach and publish articles in. There is no need to patronize me, son.

Xsayarsa

I forgot Eugene Beauharnais, son of Joséphine, but he was not the marshal of the Empire.

Xsayarsa

Exactly. I subscribe to the last sentence.

If all the others also go down its ok. As long as we do it together.

Russia lies about everything so it is obvious that they lie over here also and exaggerate the number of Ukraines soldiers to explain their incapability during 40 day’s. What means that Zelensky was maybe correct in his numbers. But what a hell of a fight and what an incompetence of the Russians they destroyed everything and everybody because they did not dear to fight men to men.

You honestly believe 2500 Ukrainian soldiers died with all those missile strikes? On some days, they died in hundreds from missiles alone. How about frontlines? And Mariupol where there’s 2500 left, where did the rest go?

This is a lie.. Russian propaganda. Just a reminder In case you want the names of the 8 Russian generals killed in Ukraine: Lt Gen Andrei Mordichev, Lt Gen Yakov Rezantsev Maj Gen Oleg Mityaev, Maj Gen Andrei Kolesnikov Maj Gen Vitaily Gerasimov Maj Gen Andrei Sukhovetsky Maj Gen Magomed Tushaev Maj Gen Vladimir Frolov. And you know that territory falls and then they get retaken you know that yes?? Dosent really matters if you take Mariupol you will never be able to keep it. Remember we have million of soldiers tat are eager to kill Russians soldiers and Putin himself and the entire Russian government.

So where are hiding the ukrainian generals ? Are they afraid of dying on the battlefields ? I forgot, ukros are brave when terrorizing civilians only. Never heard of the mongrel Bandera, his lieutenants and followers winning a real battle. As for millions of you eager to kill Russians, they will exterminate you at their will, so do not provoke them to much. Their patience has limits, especially now. What a loser nation of gangsters, primitives and cheap whores called “Ukraine”.

Clyde

Will they be riding to Moscow on their bicycles to accomplish their mission? I suppose they’ll have to steal the bicycles from somewhere first. Unless NATO countries send some 1970s stocks.
