Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 7. Oktober 2022

Nachgetragen fürs Archiv: Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 7. Oktober 2022:

• Das britische Intel Update:

Re-purposed captured Russian equipment now makes up a large proportion of Ukraine’s military hardware.
Ukraine has likely captured at least 440 Russian Main Battle Tanks, and around 650 other armoured vehicles since the invasion. Over half of Ukraine’s currently fielded tank fleet potentially consists of captured vehicles.
The failure of Russian crews to destroy intact equipment before withdrawing or surrendering highlights their poor state of training and low levels of battle discipline.
With Russian formations under severe strain in several sectors and increasingly demoralised troops, Russia will likely continue to lose heavy weaponry.

The russian occupation authorities continue to put pressure on the citizens of Ukraine who remained in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk oblast. According to available information, in some areas of the city of Horlivka, representatives of „security structures“ intimidate local residents who did not support the joining of the temporarily occupied region to the russian federation in an illegal referendum. Men who avoid mobilization continue to be identified, detained and forcibly sent to units of the 1st Army Corps to replace casualties.
According to the available information, there are significant problems with the material support of the mobilization measures carried out by the military leadership of the russian federation. Thus, at the beginning of October, of the 8,000 demobilized persons staying at the base of the Novosibirsk Higher Command School, no more than half were provided with military uniforms. In addition, only field uniforms and shoes are issued to the specified personnel. The rest of the equipment must be bought at your own expense or try to get it from the local authorities as humanitarian aid. The issue of providing the mobilized with helmets and body armor remains problematic.
The russian occupiers continue to suffer losses in the south of our country. Thus, in the area of Kakhovka, Kherson oblast, the destruction of personnel and military equipment, including air defence equipment, has been confirmed. Also, as a result of effective fire damage to the area of the enemy’s concentration near the village of Borozenske, on October 5 of this year, the losses of the enemy amounted to 10 people killed and about 20 wounded.
Aviation of the Defence Forces carried out 11 strikes during the day. It was confirmed that 8 places of concentration of weapons and military equipment, as well as 3 anti-aircraft missile systems of the enemy were destroyed. In addition, our air defence units shot down two UAVs and two enemy helicopters.
Rocket troops and artillery hit one area of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, a pontoon crossing and a WED complex in a day.
