Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 9. Januar 2022

Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 9. Januar 2022:

• Das britische Intel Update:

Since at least June 2022, Russian Aerospace Forces have almost certainly used Su-57 FELON to conduct missions against Ukraine. FELON is Russia’s most advanced fifth-generation supersonic combat jet, employing stealth technologies and highly advanced avionics.
These missions have likely been limited to flying over Russian territory, launching long range air-to-surface or air-to-air missiles into Ukraine.
Recent commercially available imagery shows five FELON parked at Akhtubinsk Air Base, which hosts the 929th Flight Test Centre. As this is the only known FELON base, these aircraft have likely been involved in operations against Ukraine.
Russia is highly likely prioritising avoiding the reputational damage, reduced export prospects, and the compromise of sensitive technology which would come from any loss of FELON over Ukraine.
This is symptomatic of Russia’s continued risk-averse approach to employing its air force in the war.

Situation update of General Staff of UAF as of 6.00 a.m., 9th January, 2023
Day 320 of the russian military aggression has begun.
During the past day, russian occupiers launched 7x missile and 31x air strikes, and launched 73x MLRS attacks.
The threat of enemy air and missile strikes remains high across Ukraine.
Russian forces attempt offensives on Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Lyman axes; and make efforts to improve tactical situation on Kup’yans’k axis.
Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled attacks in the vicinities of Stelmakhivka and Chervonpopivka (Luhansk oblast); Soledar, Krasna Hora, Pidhorodne, Bakhmut, Klishchiivka, Vodyane, Pervomais’ke, Krasnohorivka, Maryinka, Pobieda, and Novomykhailivka (Donetsk oblast).
Novopavlivka, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson axes: the enemy stays on defensive attempting to protect previously occupied lines; reinforces defensive lines and positions.
Volyn, Polissya, Sivershchyna, and Slobozhanshchyna axes: no significant changes, no signs of the formation of offensive grouping reported.
Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna axes: the vicinities of Halaganivka and Hremyach settlements (Chernihiv oblast); Korenyok, Kucherivka, Studenok, Bunyakyne, Atyns’ke, Kindrativka, and Myropyllya (Sumy oblast); Starytsya, Chuhunivka, Milove, Kolodyazne, and Novomlynsk (Kharkiv oblast) were subject to mortar and artillery shelling;
Kup’yans’k axis: the vicinities of Dvorichna, Pershotravneve, Ivanivka, and Krokhmal’ne (Kharkiv oblast); Stelmakhivka and Myasozharivka (Luhansk oblast) were shelled by tanks and barrel artillery.

According to the available information, a significant amount of weapons and military equipment arriving to belarus from the russian federation for training purposes has been removed from a long-term storage and requires maintenance. It is also known that belarusian servicemen take active part in maintenance works.
There is a tendency for the deterioration of morale and psychological state of the russian personnel. Thus, among the soldiers of the 127th separate intelligence brigade stationed in temporarily occupied Sevastopol, the idea of ending the war under any conditions is spreading.
During the past 24 hours, Ukrainian Air Force launched 17x air strikes on the concentrations of enemy troops, and 3x air strikes against russian anti-aircraft missile systems.
At the same time, Ukrainian warriors shot down 3x russian helicopters (Ka-52, Mi-24, and Mi-8), and 3x “Orlan-10” type reconnaissance UAVs.
