#YURI WEEKLY REPORT Missile strike on the ukrainian infrastructure was rather a warning and a test for the Ukrainian air defences that fared quite miserably. Apparently, for now Moscow does not have plans to disable the energetic infrastructure of Ukraine completely, but such plans may well arise later. Also, a number of air defense systems were transferred to the rear, opening a possibility for the aggressive actions of the Russian airforce on the front lines.

Kherson: first serious Ukrainian attack, repelled with significant losses. Svatovo without serious enemy movement, on the contrary, they’ve missed a tactical Russian counter-offensive towards Krasni Liman. Donetsk/Adveyevka - after the Russian attack towards Pervomayskoye, the enemy withdrew to the last, third line of defense on Vodyanoye/Optytnoye. Bakhmut - Russian troops finally entered the town, but it is still contested in fierce battles.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 15-16 Oct 2022⚡️

#RussianFederation Territories:

▪️ During the day, the AFU shelled #Belgorod again. Most targets were intercepted by air defenses, but there were two explosions near #Belgorod airport. At least three civilians were injured.

#Starobelsk Direction:

▪️ In the #Kupyansk area, Ukrainian forces are engaged in positional fighting on the #Kislovka - #Pershotravnevoye line.

▪️ The artillery of the Russian Forces hit mobile groups of the 92nd AFU Brigade, which were preparing to advance to the front line near #Dvurechnaya. As a result, the enemy suffered significant losses and was forced to abandon its planned reconnaissance battle.

▪️ In the #Lyman - #Svatovo sector, Ukrainian formations are moving personnel and armoured vehicles to the #Torskoye - #Terny line.

#Soledar Direction:

▪️ There are no significant changes on the front line, the Wagner PMC troops are fighting fiercely in #Soledar and the south-eastern districts of #Bakhmut (#Artemovsk). The enemy regularly counterattacks in both towns. Artillery is working on the accumulations of Ukrainian formations.

▪️ Wagner PMC units continue to fight fiercely for #Opytnoye. In the north-east, neat vicinity of #Belogorovka, the front is held by units of the LPR People´s Militia.

#Donetsk Direction:

▪️ Ukrainian formations once again shelled the civilian infrastructure of the #Donetsk agglomeration, including the #Donetsk city administration building in Voroshilovsky district. There are casualties among the civilian population.

#Zaporozhye Direction:

▪️ Russian Forces continue to conduct positional fighting near #Vremevka and #Neskuchnoye. AFU units made two attempts to storm the heights west of the villages, but retreated both times with heavy losses.

▪️ Russian Forces personnel engaged targets in #Zaporozhye and #Orekhov, as well as enemy concentrations along the entire line of contact.

#Nikolaev - #Berislav Direction on Southern Front (MAP):

▪️ In the #Berislav area, Ukrainian formations attempted an unsuccessful offensive against the Russian defences on the #Dudchany - #Mylovoye - #Novogrigorovka line on the morning of 15 October.

▪️ In the #Nikolaev sector, the AFU command continues regrouping troops for another offensive against the positions of the Russian Forces.

Ukrainian forces are forming two combat groups. One near #Bashtanka and the other in the #Prybugskoye and #Galitsynovo areas.

▪️ Ukrainian formations may launch a renewed offensive in the #Berislav and #Aleksandrovka areas in the near future. At the same time, the option of moving forces to the #Zaporozhye sector is not excluded.

▪️ Failures and significant losses of AFU units in this sector of the front have a negative impact on the moral and psychological state of soldiers and lead to reduction in the combat effectiveness of enemy forces.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Fiend Analysis of the situation in Ukraine from American Troll and Muzzlewhores Institute for the Study of War (ISW):

⚠️ The Morons should buy a brain and reflect on why that keeps the Ukrawehrmacht silent. If you already quote Russian sources, why are you silent about the reported results. Your troll reporting is upper embarrassing. And for this the Yanks are cheated out of their tax money.

October 16 Key Takeaways🔻

▪️ Several Russian sources reported renewed Ukrainian assaults in the Kherson direction and Ukrainian sources reported higher-than-average numbers of daily shelling and missile strikes, but Ukrainian forces are maintaining operational silence about any operations.

▪️ Ukrainian military officials stated on October 16 that Russian forces are falsely claiming to have captured several towns near Bakhmut in the past several days, but Ukrainian forces have held their lines against Russian attacks.

▪️ Russian forces are likely falsifying claims of advances in the Bakhmut area to portray themselves as making gains in at least one sector amid continuing losses in northeast and southern Ukraine.

▪️ Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate announced a $100,000 bounty for the capture of prominent Russian milblogger and former proxy commander Igor Girkin and confirmed his presence in Ukraine, stating “it is known that one of the most famous Russian terrorists has decided to renew his participation in the war against our state.”

▪️ Russian and Belarusian sources continued to report Russian men and material entering Belarus.

▪️ Ukrainian sources reported Russian occupation officials in Kherson City are stepping up filtration measures against Ukrainian partisans and accelerating efforts to evacuate key materials and personnel from Kherson to Crimea.

▪️ Unknown assailants attacked a military commissariat in the suburbs of Moscow with a Molotov cocktail on October 16.

▪️ Local Russian authorities in Krasnodar Krai reportedly intend to mobilize 1,000 more people by December 2022 and discussed proposals to redirect funding from entertainment events so supply mobilized personnel, seemingly contradicting Putin’s announcement that mobilization will conclude by the end of October 2022.

▪️ Poor medical care in both frontline and rear-area Russian units is exacerbating already dire morale problems.[8]

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💥 A few hours ago (posted at 01:01 ) the Russian Armed Forces carried out strikes on enemy facilities in #Nikolaev⚡️

We learned that one of the targets was fuel tanks near the #Nikolaev river port. Judging by the mighty fire that broke out after the strikes, there was plenty of fuel stored there.

In June, Russian forces had already struck at a similar facility in Nikolaev. At that time, fuel stocks stored in vegetable oil tanks at the Avery terminal were destroyed.

Coordinates: 46.93461, 32.02598

Another target with a high probability was the fuel oil storage of the #Nikolaevskaya TPP. This is indicated by the position of the chimney in some videos from the scene.

Coordinates: 46.95037, 31.98834

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔥 One more! Very impressive Shot from #Kiev⚡️

Spanish journalists' footage captures the moment when a man-portable air defence system was launched from the TPP-3 building during a Geranium-2 UAV strike on the central building of Ukrenergo at 25 Simon Petlyura Street in Kiev. The first Geranium strike struck the Ukrenergo building at 27 Simon Petlyura Street in Kiev.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💥⚔️ Today several Strikes were conducted against #Kiev using the Geran-2 UAV⚡️

One of the targets of the fire was the main information and computing centre of Ukrenergo, which is located at 27 Kominterna Street (now Simona Petlyura Street). A house on the opposite side of Zhylianska street was also hit.

We cannot say for sure that the UAV caused significant damage to the equipment and servers, as they could have been located in the basements.

The computer centre stores information about the parameters of the power grid. It also records and analyzes emergency events, which are used as the basis for calculating possible options for eliminating accidents. The centre determines the most optimal parameters of electrical modes, power generation capacity of power plants and network switching schemes. A strike at the centre will not cause a catastrophe, but it will complicate further work.

Immediately after this morning's arrival, Ukrenergo reported rolling blackouts in central and northern regions of Ukraine.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🚀 @Rybar on the Fight against UAVs in #Kiev⚡️

Today, Russian Telegram channels have begun vigorously mocking the frantic firing of Ukrainian soldiers and police at the Geran-2 Kamikaze UAVs used by the Russian Armed Forces to strike #Kiev this morning.

A video published on Patrol Police resources shows that a slow-flying large drone could theoretically be shot down with small arms.

A Geran targeting the #Kiev Passenger Railway Station was successfully shot down on approach.

And it would seem that such tactics against aerial targets justify themselves - here it is, there is confirmation of the downed UAV. But as with any situation, there are a few nuances.

▪️ Gerans still outmanoeuvre Ukrainian air defences - both SAMs, MANPADs and small arms manoeuvre groups. To a certain percentage, they manage to shoot them down. But given the fact that several kamikaze UAVs are assigned to each target according to all rules of engagement planning, the effectiveness of such a fight is debatable.

▪️ No one thinks about the consequences of dashing fire into the air. And the power of physics will certainly not be on the side of Ukrainian citizens who could be hit by such indiscriminate firing.

▪️ What is happening is another confirmation of the proverb "the cunning of the imagination". Such methods of dealing with UAVs are due to the low density of Ukrainian air defenses, which, contrary to local politicians' claims, cannot even fully cover the airspace above the country's capital.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation on the #Nikolaev - #Berislav Direction at 18:00 on 17 Oct 2022⚡️

#PosadPokrovskoye Section:

▪️ Artillery crews of the 59th Separate Infantry Brigade fire indiscriminately in the Ternovye Pody area.

▪️ The 3rd Battalion of the 28th Mechanized Brigade of the AFU has been moved to the #Ukrainka area. Previously, the unit´s personnel had been performing tasks in the #Andreevka frontline section.

▪️ After their arrival, the Ukrainian formations equipped a forward control post and replaced the forces of the 59th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade at the Stepovaya Dolina - Posad-Pokrovskoye line. The forward positions are equipped with ATGMs and man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS).

▪️ Six units of military equipment were moved to the vicinity of #Kiselevka to reinforce the 105th Battalion of the AFU´s 63rd Mechanized Brigade.

#Andreevka Sector:

▪️ The Ukrainian command is restoring combat readiness of units. Over the past 24 hours, 36 equipment units were moved to the left bank via the established crossings across the #Ingulets River, while 30 units were moved to #Bereznegovatoye for recovery.

▪️ A missile battery of the 57th AFU Motorized Infantry Brigade fire Russian strongholds on the #Kostromka - #Bruskinskoye - #Ishchenka line.

#Berislav Area:

▪️ The AFU are evacuating the wounded and the bodies of the fallen killed during the offensive of the 60th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade. The confirmed losses amount to 70 fallen and injured, excluding the missing.

#YURI Russian troops allowed the Ukrainians to collect the bodies of the dead in the north part of the Kherson oblast, after two days of their unsuccessful attacks. The number of KIA and WIA is estimated in about 250 men, some 25 tanks and around 50 of the lighter armored vehicles. According to Ukrainian sources, the units supposed to attack today declined to do so, seeing the utter defeat of the previous waves.

Prisoner exchange “110 for 110” took place between the sides of the conflict. The Russians returned 108 female POWs to the Ukrainians, and 2 more refused to return, and preferred to stay in Russia. In exchange, Russian civil sailors and some 30 servicemen of the Russian army, LPR and DPR militias returned home.

Calm in Zaporozhye, Ukrainian distraction attacks towards Svatovo. Wagner men continuing the assault on Bakhmut

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 17 Oct 2022⚡️

The Russian Armed Forces continued strikes on critical infrastructure across #Ukraine. During the day, targets were hit in #Lvov, #Chmelnytsky, #Rivne, #Vinnitsa, #Sumy and #Odessa regions, as well as in #Kiev. Electricity and water supplies were again temporarily disrupted due to the damage in several parts of the country.

#RussianFederation Territories:

▪️ Ukrainian militants shelled #Belgorod again. Russian air defence intercepted a target near the city's airport.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 @Rybar Analysis: Russian Armed Forces Strikes on Ukraine's Energy System on 17 Oct 2022⚡️

On October 17, 2022, the Russian Forces again conducted massive strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

🔎 Rybar's team analysed data from open sources, reports from eyewitnesses on the ground, as well as information from closed sources. In a number of cases, the effects of the shelling are not so clear and objective monitoring data is lacking.

🔻 List of Confirmed Casualties:

▪️ Severo-Ukrainskaya 750kV substation - 750/330kV power autotransformer and the building of the OPU were affected. Outages at the substation led to blackouts in #Kharkov as well. Light later returned when the emergency circuit was triggered.
Coordinates: 50.690147, 33.769812

▪️ Dneprovskaya 750kV substation - the 750/330kV autotransformer is presumably affected. Serious power outages in #Dnipropetrovsk and #Kharkov.
Coordinates: 48.435985, 34.036021

▪️ Ukrenergo's Main Information and Computing Centre - Despite this morning's strikes, one Heran-2 kamikaze UAV was not enough. We wrote that in case of a qualitative firing it would be possible to disrupt the whole system of selection of optimal parameters of electric modes, power generation capacity of power plants and network switching schemes. But in fact, the control room panel was intact, as was the backup system.
Coordinates: 50.441491, 30.494200

🔻 Probable Targets affected:

▪️ Rovno 330kV substation - the impact caused an emergency power outage in the city centre. Rivne has an important substation and high-voltage line coming from the Rivne NPP.
Coordinates: 50.641329, 26.224903

▪️ Khmelnytsky 330 kV substation - there was an emergency power outage in part of the Xmelnitskaya region after the Geran strikes.
Coordinates: 49.40906213878672, 26.93097798826966

▪️ The Vinnitskaya 750 kV substation is a probable target of a firing. There was a claim that some "critical infrastructure facility" was hit by three missiles. This object could equally have been the Ladyzhynska TPP, which was already hit last week. But since there are no casualties and no evidence from the ground, we are inclined to believe it is the Vinnitskaya power station.
Coordinates: 49.16453593799508, 28.721943294994134

🔻 Based on the information available, we can say with certainty that the targeting of energy infrastructure continues. And this time they are 750kV substations. Yes, the damage is not as widespread as it could be.

The most important result is the deterioration of the entire Ukrainian energy system in the run-up to the cold weather. Yes, the removal of the power system could be forced: missiles and UAVs are now being pinpointed. Extremely many facilities are still intact and unharmed.

But the point-by-point firing continues. And that is the main thing.
