Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 29. Dezember 2022

Veröffentlicht am von

Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine gab es am Donnerstag die erwarteten – erneuten – massiven Luftangriffe der russischen Streitkräfte. Der Sammler am 29. Dezember 2022:

• Die russischen Streitkräfte griffen am (heutigen) Donnerstagmorgen erneut die Infrastruktur der Ukraine aus der Luft an. Mehr als 120 Raketen, Marschflugkörper und Drohnen wurden nach ukrainischen Angaben auf die zivilen Einrichtungen im Land abgefeuert. Ein Großteil davon soll abgefangen worden sein. Aus der Meldung der New York Times:

Explosions rocked towns and cities around Ukraine on Thursday morning and electricity went out in several regions as Russia launched what appeared to be one of its largest attacks to date, with cruise missiles and drones aimed at the country’s energy grid.
Air-raid sirens sounded about 5:30 a.m. throughout most of Ukraine. The Ukrainian military’s southern command said two Russian ships in the Black Sea had shown signs suggesting that they were preparing to launch missiles, setting off the alarms.

Der ukrainische Präsidentenberater  Mykhailo Podolyak dazu auf Twitter:

Angaben der ukrainischen Luftwaffe zu den abgeschossenen Marschflugkörpern und (iranischen) Drohnen):

• Im Kriegsverlauf am Boden hat derzeit keine Seite einen Vorteil, sagte der Chef des ukrainischen Militärgeheimdienstes der BBC:

Fighting in Ukraine is currently at a deadlock as neither Ukraine nor Russia can make significant advances, the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence agency has said, while Kyiv waits for more advanced weapons from Western allies.
„The situation is just stuck,“ Kyrylo Budanov told the BBC in an interview. „It doesn’t move.“ (…)
Mr Budanov said Russia was „now completely at a dead end“ suffering very significant losses, and he believed the Kremlin had decided to announce another mobilisation of conscripts. But, he added, Ukrainian forces still lacked resources to move forward in multiple areas.
„We can’t defeat them in all directions comprehensively. Neither can they,“ he said. „We’re very much looking forward to new weapons supplies, and to the arrival of more advanced weapons.“

• Das britische Intel Update:

In the early hours of 26 December 2022, Russia’s Engels Air Base was attacked for the second time in three weeks.
Russian media reported that uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) were responsible for the strike on the facility, one of the main operating bases of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet.
Russia has long given a very high priority to maintaining advanced ground based air defences, but it is increasingly clear that it is struggling to counter air threats deep inside Russia.
One challenge for Russia is probably the exceptional demand on its fleet of modern, medium-range air defence systems, such as SA-22 Pantsir, which would typically be expected to take a major role in countering UAVs.
As well as providing point defence for strategic sites such as Engels, these systems are currently required in large number to protect field headquarters near the front line in Ukraine.
