Russian Armed Forces damaged a third of Ukraine's energy infrastructure in two days

About 30% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure was hit by Russian retaliatory strikes in two days (since Monday, October 10), Energy Minister German Galushchenko said. So, in the Vinnitsa and Dnepropetrovsk regions, a regime of total energy saving was generally introduced.

At the moment, rolling blackouts are carried out in at least ten regions - Lviv, Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytsky, Vinnitsa, Cherkasy, Kyiv, Poltava, Sumy and Kharkiv.

And that's just two days later. By the way, among the attacks on energy facilities, the Russian Aerospace Forces also attacked important logistics hubs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the railway. So, through these interchanges, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will no longer be able to either deliver or repair broken equipment.

Interesting footage of M777 howitzer firing

The video shows the operation of the induction adjustment of the fuse charge of the Excalibur high-precision projectile. Roughly speaking, it is like an NFC chip in a mobile phone, through which a projectile is programmed.

That is, if you use EW interference, then there is a chance that the projectile will explode on route of the trajectory.
Maybe the experts will be interested

Putin holds a meeting with the head of the IAEA

"Russia has always advocated that countries have equal access to peaceful atom," Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the IAEA Director General. Russia remains committed to the nonproliferation of military nuclear technology, the Russian leader said. According to him, there are elements of excessive dangerous politicization of what is connected with nuclear activity, this rhetoric should be reduced. Putin, at a meeting with Grossi, suggested discussing the situation with the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant: Moscow is open to resolving all issues.

There remains the possibility of repeated shelling of the region, - said Alexander Starukh.

"Did you make any decisions?" We can hit the decision-making centers as well.

Zelensky:

The enemy launched a second wave of terrorist attacks against our country. As of this morning, there were 28 missiles, of which 20 were shot down. More than 15 drones, almost all of them are Iranian combat drones. Most were shot down.

Restoration works are taking place quite quickly and efficiently throughout the country. If it wasn't for today's strikes, we would have already restored the energy supply, water supply and communications that the terrorists damaged yesterday. And today, Russia will achieve only one additional thing: it will delay our recovery a little.
 
Where there was destruction, the infrastructure will be renewed everywhere. Where there were losses, there is already or will be construction. Where there were any hopes of the enemy, there will be ruins of Russian statehood.

Mankind and humanity are stronger than any terrorists. I am thankful to everyone who fights and works for our victory!

Hat tip: Diego Cano of Slavyangrad chat:

Perhaps the goal of the strikes was not to kill civilians, as the Kievan terrorists desire with their strikes? These were attacks on the Kiev regime's ability to make war. This headline is bizarre and reveals the West's own projection of barbarity!

Railroader's opinion:

“I have experience in the profession. Assistant driver of an electric locomotive, diesel locomotive, as well as by education I am a "Master of Railway Tracks, Construction and Maintenance", a total experience of 12 years.

I want to say the following. It is not the superstructure of the track itself that needs to be destroyed, the issue of restoration is a maximum of a day under the most terrible scenarios.

I would pay close attention to the fleet of locomotives, locomotive depots, PMS (track machine stations) - they are the ones who are engaged in the restoration of the track. To paralyze any movement on the railway, it is necessary to knock out the LOCOMOTIVE DEPO. Fortunately, their location is known (any junction station).

And another argument. It is impossible to restore the locomotive fleet, because European locomotives have a different gauge, and it is almost impossible to get locomotives of our gauge, because the locomotive fleet in Ukraine is almost all from the USSR.

In general, IMHO, if the Ministry of Defense wants to deliver sensitive and most effective strikes on industries, you need to ask the professionals. Judging by the attacks on the railway infrastructure, there were no such consultations.”

Russia closes part of the Barents Sea for exercises.

We are most likely talking about the next stage of testing promising weapons.

Not sure how accurate this is, but it's an interesting tidbit:

Just a reminder to the members of Slavyangrad chat: Moderating often takes us away from doing research, posting, and translation work. Sometimes it may seem that we're being overly strict, but you can imagine the work involved in moderating a chat group of thousands. We usually come into a full inbox of reports every day. 🤣

In order to make sure that nobody is being wrongly punished, we've been using a lighter touch of temporary bans and mutes. If you believe you are not in the wrong, just be patient. Also, we have our new group, the catacombs, where anybody who wishes to contest a ban/mute or to ask for amnesty can appeal. The Catacombs also has fewer rules, which allows us to keep some of the more toxic conversation out of the main chat. Of course, we still ban people from the catacombs for racism, extreme obscenity, etc. Anybody banned from the catacombs will lose all hope of amnesty. Thank you!

Russian troops control the strategic highway Kremennaya - Svatovo in the north of the LPR

So far, it has not been without enemy provocations with shelling and attacks by sabotage and reconnaissance groups.

I have more good news for Zely , moar Shahed is coming

Air raid alerts began in Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson 0430 am!

"Kyiv Electricity" reported that the shortage of power is growing and therefore the number of disconnected customers has increased.

The energy system of Ukraine continues to crumble out of inertia.

Only Some Troop Movements Can Be Compared To Historical Actions In Conflicts of the Past

In the second part of the background to our Svatovsko-Kremenne direction we came to the conclusion that the AFU between Borovaya and Krasny Liman was in a situation similar to the Wehrmacht Center Group in 1941: continue moving eastward to fulfill a strategic objective, or turn southeastward to Kiev to eliminate the Red Army advance and encircle the southwestern front. Similarly, the AFU had the option of rushing towards their objective at the risk of being hit from the south or losing momentum but securing their southern flank. The Ukrainians, like the Germans, chose the latter. But unlike the Germans, the Khokhlys did not take us into the cauldron.

October 1: "Most likely there will be a lull in the next couple of days with the regrouping of Ukrainian units (which have sustained quite a bit of damage anyway). There may be action by forward DRGs. After that, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are likely to launch a strike in the Borovaya-Makiivka area (a village in the LNR).

As a result, the Khokhlyas attacked Borovaya and Makiivka. Borovaya was taken on 3 October, and Makiivka has not been taken so far, despite claims. They only control the western part on the right bank of the Zherebets River. The same line along which we are trying to take the line towards Kremenna, fighting south of Makiivka for Nevske, Novosadovoye, Terny, Yampolovka and Torskoye.

This line, along the Zherebets River, is our natural defensive line. On 3 October, it says about the Zherebets River north of Makiivka: "Here it is important for the AFU to seize the Raigorodka-Makiivka line in order to obtain a bridgehead for reconnaissance of our Svatovo-Kremenna line and subsequent attack at the weakest point at the junction of the two garrisons.

And then, on 3 October, the first as yet unjustified tendency: "The line along the Oskol, in principle, has practically exhausted itself along its entire length. Soon it will be completely abandoned and Ukraine will report full control over the Kharkiv region.

The line on Oskol is still ours. And we have even managed to improve our position in the Zherebets River area by taking Krasnyaya Dibrowa accurately and possibly fully restoring the front along the Zherebets River all the way to its mouth into the Seversky Donets. We await confirmation.

It is too early to analyse the records further, such as those of 9 September. We will do it later, when some time has passed.

So, what we see is that the regrouping of the AFU after the capture of Liman is delayed. After its capture, they were able to push us out of the Oskol River as far as Tavolzhanka.

However, something went wrong with further action. They still have not been followed. What the reasons for this are unknown, I am not told by intelligence.

Before the news of our occupation of the Zherebets River line (but we have to wait for confirmation!) we might have suspected that the enemy was busy regrouping and creating a massive strike fist that would break us.

However, the AFU now appears to be a few steps away (or has already done so) from surrendering to us convenient positions to defend Kremenna.

Accordingly, they have either suffered incredible losses leading to a rollback, or have moved their forces somewhere else: either north of Raigorodka village - if we're talking about our LNR front - or to another direction altogether. Under Artemivsk? Donetsk? Zaporizhzhya? Kherson?

In general, let's keep an eye on the latest news, because either something has gone very, very wrong for our enemies, or the Khokhols have an unreadable (and almost all their actions since September 7 have been readable, I have proved it with quotes) cunning plan.
