Veröffentlicht am von

Im andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine steht eine ukrainische Offensive im Süden des Landes im Mittelpunkt – aber die Details und vor allem die möglichen Erfolge bleiben vorerst unklar. Der Sammler am 30. August 2022:

• Das britische Intel Update:

From early on 29 August 2022, several brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces increased the weight of artillery fires in front line sectors across southern Ukraine.
Ukrainian long-range precision strikes continue to disrupt Russian resupply. It is not yet possible to confirm the extent of Ukrainian advances.
However, since the start of August, Russia has made significant efforts to reinforce its force on the western bank of the Dnipro River around Kherson.
The Southern Military District’s (SMD) 49th Combined Arms Army has highly likely been augmented with components of the Eastern Military District’s (EMD) 35th Combined Arms Army.
Most of the units around Kherson are likely under-manned and are reliant upon fragile supply lines by ferry and pontoon bridges across the Dnipro.
This integration of SMD and EMD units suggests a significant reorganisation of Russia’s force in Ukraine.
There is a realistic possibility that Russia has moved to rationalise the several, semi-independent, operational commands which contributed to its poor performance early in the invasion.
If Ukraine succeeds in undertaking sustained offensive operations, the cohesion of this untested structure will likely be a key factor in the sustainability of Russian defences in the south.

• Am (gestrigen) Montagabend hatte der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymir Selenskyj in seiner regelmäßigen Videoansprache alle genaueren Angaben zu einer möglichen ukrainischen Offensive im Süden bewusst vermieden:

Ukraine is returning its own. And it will return the Kharkiv region, Luhansk region, Donetsk region, Zaporizhzhia region, Kherson region, Crimea, definitely our entire water area of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov – from Zmiinyi Island to the Kerch Strait. This will happen. This is ours. And just as our society understands it, I want the occupiers to understand it, too. There will be no place for them on Ukrainian land.
Anyone want to know what our plans are? You won’t hear specifics from any truly responsible person. Because this is war. And this is what it is during the war.
But the occupiers should know: we will oust them to the border. To our border, the line of which has not changed. The invaders know it well.

• Am (heutigen) Dienstagmorgen sollen die ukrainischen Streitkräfte ihre Offensive im Süden fortgesetzt haben, wie die Nachrichtenagentur AFP unter Berufung auf das ukrainische Präsidentenbüro meldet:

“Powerful explosions continued throughout the day and throughout the night in Kherson region,” the president’s office said in a morning update.
“Heavy fighting is taking place in almost the entire territory of the Kherson region. The Armed Forces of Ukraine launched offensive actions in various directions,” it added.

• Russland hat offensichtlich die angekündigten Lieferungen von Drohnen aus Iran erhalten, damit jedoch technische Probleme, wie zuerst die Washington Post und dann andere US-Medien unter Berufung auf US-Quellen berichteten:

Transport planes departed Iran on Aug. 19 hauling at least two types of unmanned aerial vehicles, both capable of carrying munitions for attacks on radars, artillery and other military targets, according to intelligence gathered by U.S. and other spy agencies.
But while the weapons could provide a significant boost for Russia’s war effort against Ukraine, the transfer has been marred by technical problems, security officials from the United States and an allied government said in interviews. In early tests by the Russians, the Iranian drones experienced numerous failures, the officials said.

heißt es in der Washington Post. Die Nachrichtenagentur AP meldet:

Russia has faced technical problems with Iranian-made drones acquired from Tehran this month for use in its war with Ukraine, according to Biden administration officials.
The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the U.S. intelligence assessment, did not detail the “numerous failures.” They added that the U.S. assesses that the delivery of Mohajer-6 and Shahed-series unmanned aerial vehicles over several days this month is likely part of a Russian plan to acquire hundreds of Iranian UAVs.
