The Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that attacked Rabotino refused to fight due to high losses

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that the Ukrainian command is now withdrawing the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Rabotino area of the Zaporozhye region to the rear due to its refusal to carry out combat missions after high losses.

The Russian Armed Forces are actively defending the Zaporozhye areas: in a week, the Russian military repelled eight attacks by assault groups of the enemy’s 65th Mechanized and 71st Jaeger Brigades in the Verbovoy and Rabotin areas of the Zaporozhye region.

🗣️ On the truth that Canadian leaders deny about the Nazi history of Ukraine:

“The Canadians have this special role and they have like the US and like the collective West has been denying this history. But it all blew up in their faces when, for reasons known only to themselves, when President Zelensky visited Canada and he addressed Parliament, and it should have been an ordinary thing, he stands up, they applaud, they say 'We're with Ukraine forever, we'll never give in to Putin,' etc., etc.. That's all they had to do. But somebody said 'Let's find an old Ukrainian Nazi and bring him to the floor of parliament.' And he was introduced as someone who fought the Russians during World War Two. Well, in Ukraine, that means Nazi. Period. The end,” Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist, told Sputnik.

❗️ As a result of an attack by Ukrainian terrorists in the village of Pogar in the Bryansk region, the power supply was disrupted, there were no casualties, the governor said

While the US and NATO allies have pledged to train Ukrainian pilots for F-16 operation, doubts persist about Ukraine's capacity to produce an adequate number of skilled fighter pilots.

Russian test pilot Magomed Tolboyev emphasized the extensive training required to become a proficient pilot, contrasting it with Ukraine's plan to train pilots in just six months. He pointed out that Ukraine has only one military flight school, which may be insufficient to meet the demand for an effective air force.

Tolboyev and Maj. Gen. Vladimir Popov, a veteran Russian combat aircraft pilot, both expressed doubts about the number of combat-ready pilots in Ukraine and suggested that foreign pilots might be brought in to assist with training and even combat missions, effectively acting as mercenaries.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 According to the US government’s own Congressional Research Service, US armed forces have been active throughout the world in one form or another for the vast majority of the country’s young existence. Now, a new report documents the lessons the country is learning for its next war as Russian troops battle on in the Donbas.

The article, published in an online journal of defense news, describes the challenges faced by troops in an era of pervasive technology.

“Our communications are very specific, they're easily detected and therefore easily targeted,” said Brigadier General David Gardner of the US Army’s Joint Readiness Training Center, which trains Army troops through simulated warfare. “They're very complex to establish, to maintain.”

The report stresses that “concealment” is a major concern, documenting the use of drone units in the Ukraine operation along with surveillance by satellites and other means.
