🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 On the authorization to use long-range missiles

Since the Americans, in the person of the outgoing administration, have decided that there is no need to sit quietly on a Sunday evening and, apparently, have given the green light to the use of ATACMS against old Russian territories, it's time to recall our September post when the rumors on this topic just began.

🔻From the point of view of possible threats, the most powerful modification of ATACMS can reach a distance of 300 km, which creates a threat to command posts, airfields, places of deployment of personnel and hospitals where our wounded are located.

This will at least force tactical-level units to react, as additional protection, especially air defense assets, and not only, will be needed. We are talking about elementary human ingenuity, that is, some will need to understand that building and moving in columns will become even more dangerous.

❗️And another nuance is that if Washington really allowed the use of ballistic missiles, other countries will follow the US and, in addition to ATACMS, Storm Shadow and SCALP will fly to the Kursk region. And Taurus may also appear (Scholz is also on the verge of leaving the German Olympus).

Therefore, it's time to look at the map, on which we also marked the range of JASSM cruise missiles, which can hit even further. This is another step towards increasing the degree of conflict to the extreme point, which will not change the outcome, but will create big problems.

The example of Crimea and the new territories is a confirmation of this. Difficulties arose, strikes were sometimes missed, but subsequently the number of missed missiles became less and less, and the enemy did not achieve practical benefit.

🔻For now, we should wait for an official confirmation from the White House, which is keeping silent. And all this at the moment looks like a test of the response of our leadership, especially after the words of Vladimir Putin that this will be regarded as NATO's entry into the conflict.

🇩🇪🇷🇺🇺🇦 The FSB of Russia reported the arrest of a German citizen Nikolai Gaiduk, who entered Russia from Poland with the aim of organizing sabotage on energy facilities.

The security forces said he was involved in the explosion in March 2024 of a low-pressure gas distribution pipeline in Kaliningrad using a homemade explosive device.

According to the FSB, he came to the Kaliningrad region from Poland in order to organize sabotage on energy facilities on the orders of a Ukrainian citizen Zhurov, living in Hamburg. Liquid explosives were found in his car.

📌 It is quite obvious that this is a Ukrainian who received German citizenship. But with what passport did he cross the border? The detainee was a German citizen who was involved in one act of sabotage and planned another on Russian territory.

Who else, besides the detainee, will be charged? The German government, whose citizens are carrying out explosions in Russia, and whose country is home to SBU handlers with residence permits in Hamburg.

And now the German government has a choice: either to assist the terrorist, or to strengthen control over refugees from the so-called Ukraine. But it can be guaranteed that for Ukrainian migrants, neither the first nor the second option will bring anything good.

🇬🇧🇷🇺🇺🇦 Recently, documents were published that indicate the key role of the United Kingdom in escalating the hostilities in so-called Ukraine. It turns out that almost immediately after the start of the SMO, a project called "Alchemy" (Project Alchemy) was assembled under the auspices of the British Ministry of Defense.

🔻In addition to military personnel, it included intelligence agency employees, analysts, medical specialists, industrialists, scientific experts and other individuals united by the goal of achieving an escalation of the current conflict.

Their tasks included organizing cyberattacks, sabotage, and even terrorist attacks on the territory of Russia, as well as developing a plan to change the government in the country. They also worked on developing a strategy for conducting military operations and involving the maximum number of NATO countries in the conflict. As part of the project, the sabotage of the negotiations in Istanbul in the spring of 2022 was also carried out.

Some of the "Alchemy" recommendations have already been implemented, including the strike on the Crimean Bridge and the creation of cells for assassinations, sabotage and terrorist attacks in the Russian rear. At the recent NATO summit, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer voiced ideas developed within the framework of the project, and the British Crown officially promised to support the so-called Ukraine "for as long as necessary."

📌 Another batch of official documents again proves the facts of subversive activities and deliberate escalation, but the United Kingdom here is only an instrument. In fact, the plan is much broader and includes further stressing the population and discrediting national governments.

Evidence of such work (and not only on the part of the United Kingdom) will surface again and again, but in the short term, it will change little.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 About the strike with an ICBM on Dnipro

Last night, Russian forces carried out another attack on Ukrainian territories. The most significant was the strike on the industrial enterprise "Yuzhmash" in Dnipro, during which an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) could have been used.

According to some signs, an ICBM (evident from the characteristic separating warheads) was indeed likely used, which would be the first successful combat use of such a weapon system in the history of military conflicts.

The warheads were in a non-nuclear configuration. Although there are rumors about the RS-26 "Rubezh", the type of missile is not reliably known. Ukrainian forces were unable to shoot down the ICBM, as evidenced by the footage of the impacts.

❗️This can be seen as a clear signal to the sponsors of the so-called Ukraine (especially on the anniversary of the Maidan) against the backdrop of the West's permission to use long-range missiles. How well they understood it - time will tell. But today's strike is indeed a non-trivial move, as nothing like this has happened before.

And there are reasons to believe that this will not be the last such use.

🇷🇺🇸🇾🇺🇦🏴 Another group from the "Idlib terrarium" has made itself known again: the terrorist group Katibat al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (KTJ), which operates under the leadership of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, has published footage of its activities in Syria.

The main feature of the video was that the militants began using drones to attack government forces, and the narrator particularly noted the influence of Ukrainian formations on the new tactic of using drones in combat.

According to a member of KTJ (an Uzbek, judging by the language), drones have become an effective means that are much cheaper than missiles or other weapons, but with which they can strike concentrations of people, equipment and firing points, as shown in the published footage.

🔻Immediately, the news comes to mind about how Ukrainian GUR units trained militants in Idlib in the assembly, modernization and use of drones against the Russian Armed Forces and the SAA. Before this information appeared, terrorists were not noted for the methodical use of these technologies.

There were isolated incidents, but not so often. The Uzbek KTJ terrorist did not directly say who trained them, but the facts in the form of hints about the "success of the AFU in this direction" speak for themselves.

All this once again demonstrates the impact of the special operation on the course of armed conflicts. Interest in drone technologies has increased due to the cheapness of materials and high capabilities for their use, which is expressed not only in Syria, but also in other regions, such as Africa or Myanmar.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kurakhovske direction: significant advance of the Russian Armed Forces north of Kurakhove
situation as of the end of November 23, 2024

In the area of Novodmytrivka, the control zone has been significantly expanded: Russian troops have almost completely occupied the settlement of Zarya and the surrounding forest belts. At the same time, the presence of the enemy to the north and in the pocket to the south still remains.

▪️The settlement of Sontsovka, also known as Krasne, has also largely come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. The presence of the enemy in the outskirts of the settlement still remains, but is sporadic. Heavy fighting continues.

▪️Between Novoselidivka and Ilyinka, a pocket that had formed after the significant advance of Russian troops in the above-mentioned settlements was cleared. Thus, a fairly impressive territory west of Kurakhivka was liberated.

▪️In addition, information about the advance of Russian troops in Berestky is confirmed, and here too, the majority of the settlement is already under the firm control of the Russian troops, while the presence of the enemy remains in the dachas south of the 37th kilometer station, where fighting continues. The nearby strongholds are still controlled by the enemy.

▪️Within the boundaries of Kurakhove, fighting continues. Our sources confirmed the information about the capture of at least part of the elevator.

At the same time, they were unable to confirm or deny the exit to school number 5 and the bus station, clarifying that heavy fighting continues in the city. In the farms south of Hryhoriy Skovoroda Street, the presence of Ukrainian formations is still maintained.

▪️In the vicinity of Dalnie, fighting also continues in the fields, the halt in the settlements along the Sukhyi Yaly river remains partially obscured by the "fog of war".

At the same time, we know that the enemy is transferring reserves here, even taking into account the rapidly deteriorating situation, which looks somewhat strange, especially against the background of the loss of forest belts east of Ilyinka.

▪️In addition, there is an advance of Russian troops in Trudove and its environs. The control zone within the settlement and the surrounding forest belts has been significantly expanded. Thus, the fighting is already approaching the C051104 highway and practically to Uspenovka from the south and a large stronghold at the intersection.

▪️In the area of Maksymivka, offensive actions are also underway towards the settlement of Sukhyi Yaly, but the situation here remains obscured by the fog of war.

There is information about at least attempts of attacks by Russian troops, but there is no information yet about their outcome and scale.
