SMO Chronicle for 17 Oct 2022
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 @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.

UKRAINIAN AIR DEFENCES LOSE ANOTHER BATTLE AGAINST RUSSIAN UAVs
⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Fiend Analysis of the situation in Ukraine from American Troll and Muzzlewhores Institute for the Study of War (ISW):
⚠️ The trolls lie so that the beams bend. In the long description it is then "residential infrastructure". However, our US terror supporters remain silent about the terror that the Kiev regime has been perpetrating in residential areas for more than 8 years. Otherwise they do not report about the failures of the Ukrops. Near Donetsk it goes well for us, "conducted ground assaults" in the troll language.
October 17 Key Takeaways🔻
▪️ Russian forces conducted drone and missiles strikes against residential areas and critical infrastructure facilities throughout Ukraine on October 17.
▪️ Russian drone strikes against residential areas in Kyiv on October 17 are indicative of Russian forces prioritizing psychological terror over tangible battlefield gains.
▪️ Yevgeny Prigozhin and affiliated Telegram channels are increasingly commenting on the ineffectiveness of traditional Russian military institutions, which may be undermining the Kremlin.
▪️ A fratricidal altercation between mobilized servicemen at a training ground in Belgorod Oblast on October 15 is likely a consequence of the Kremlin’s continual reliance on ethnic minority communities to bear the burden of mobilization in the Russian Federation.
▪️ Russia is continuing to leverage its relationship with Iran to obtain drones and missiles, likely to compensate for its increasingly attritted missile arsenal.
▪️ A Russian Su-34 crashed near a residential building in Yeysk, Krasnodar Krai on October 17.
▪️ Russian sources continued to discuss potential Ukrainian counteroffensive operations northwest of Svatove on October 16 and 17.
▪️ Russian sources continued to claim that Ukrainian Forces are conducting counteroffensive operations in Kherson Oblast on October 16 and 17.
▪️ Russian forces conducted ground assaults in Donetsk Oblast on October 16 and 17.
▪️ Ukrainian forces continued to strike Russian concentrations of manpower and equipment in Zaporizhia Oblast on October 16 and 17.
▪️ Russian authorities continued measures to exert full control over the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).
▪️ Moscow City officials announced the completion of partial mobilization in the city on October 17, likely in an effort to subdue criticism among Moscow residents of reports of illegal mobilization in the city.
▪️ Russian and occupation administration officials continue to promote “vacation” programs to residents of Russian-occupied territories likely as pretext for the deportation of Ukrainian citizens and the resettlement of Russian citizens.

Of ISW Troll Entity as of 15:00 ET on 17 Oct 2022
⚡️🇲🇩 ⚔️🚨 SITREP on the Protests in Moldova⚡️
1. Brief summary of the incidents:
The protests began because of increased food and energy costs and because of the persecution of political opponents. Early elections and the resignation of the president were demanded.
Protests that should be right and proper in any democracy!
Later, protest camps were set up, which were recently demolished by the police.
The number of protesters is increasing along with the repression against the protests. Recently, 70,000 protesters were reported, an enormous mass when measured against the population of 2.5 million.
Western press and governments remain silent, while Moldovan human rights organizations, Amnesty International Moldova and others criticize the repression as disproportionate and abusive against the protesters, of course not much noticed because of the information blockade.
2. The current political situation resulting from the protests:
▪️ The so-called Western democracies are moving further away from their original values. What was smoldering before, but hinting at it, is now breaking out as an open fire due to the accelerant Ukraine crisis. The circle is simply not being squared.
▪️ Moldova is the first European state in which a revolution could occur after the end of the Soviet Union.
▪️ In case of escalation it depends on the behavior of the security forces. Are they ultimately unwilling to shoot at their own people, as in the case of the GDR, or do they stand by the government, as in Belarus.
▪️ The security forces are affected by the crisis themselves, personally as citizens.. This could result in a different development than in Belarus.
3. Conclusion:
If the protests fail, it will be accompanied by a bloodbath. If the protesters succeed, a transitional or new government would have no choice but to move very close to Russia politically.

⚔️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine Wasting Small Arms Ammunition on Swarms of Russian Geran-2 Drones
▪️Ukraine is already suffering shortages of small arms ammunition on the battlefield - wasting 1,000's of rounds attempting to shoot down a single Russian Geran-2 drone will expend it even faster;
▪️Small arms ammunition might be the only "practical" way to shoot down these drones (however ineffective) for Ukraine at the moment;
▪️However, small arms ammunition will merely down the drone, not destroy it in the air - upon impact it will still cause heavy damage to the surrounding area;

🇷🇺 Report of the Russian Federation's Ministry of Defence👻
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Russian Armed Forces hit Ukraine's Energy System on 18 October 2022 - Rybar's Analysis⚡️
🔎 @Rybar's team continues its daily analysis of the consequences of systemic fire strikes on Ukraine's energy system.
🔻 Confirmed strikes:
▪️ Pridneprovskaya TPP - generation in #Dnipropetrovsk has been significantly reduced: the city of one million is left with only the crumbs that can be transmitted via the 330kV overhead line through the still undamaged substations. A wave of blackouts has hit the city.
The damage is limited. In the near future, the power plant will continue to operate - albeit with reduced generation capacity.
▪️ #Kiev TPP-6 - the power transformer of the generator-transformer unit is probably damaged.
Given that there are only two of them at CHPP-6, the damage caused to the central station is much more serious than in Dnipropetrovsk.
Presumably, the 330/110 kV autotransformer was also destroyed.
▪️ #Zhytomyr 330 kV substation - the 330/110 kV autotransformer was hit. The ability to transmit power to end users from the NPP through the 330kV network was reduced.
A safety mechanism has tripped, as a result of which the entire city of #Zhytomyr lost power. It is likely that tomorrow the substation will be restored and the load will be transferred to the remaining autotransformers, but it is unlikely that fan outages and restrictions will be avoided.
🔻 Probable strikes:
Krivoy Rog and Ivano-Frankovsk were also hit today, but there is no reliable information on the targets of the fire.
🔻 Summing up 9 days of fire strikes we come to the conclusion that the resilience of Ukraine's energy system is falling, with even single strikes on generation and distribution facilities shutting down entire regions.
The east of the country is constantly suffering from power outages even without direct impact on the power facilities located there.
The cumulative effect of the strikes is increasing, and if they continue, Ukraine's unified energy system will cease to exist.

Russian Strikes on Ukraine's Energy System for 18 October
Forwarded from War in Ukraine, Subtitled
Media is too big
VIEW IN TELEGRAM
#YURI The defensive battle for Kherson seems inevitable as the enemy concentrates more forces there to attack. There are several lines of defence built, but Yuri recommends all the civilians to leave the right bank of Dnieper, to avoid staying in the way of the military doing its job. The battle expects to be extremely fierce, the battles on the close approaches or even in the city itself, are probable. It may well become the decisive battle of the war.
Calm in Zaporozhye. Battles for Bakhmut continue, as well as in Pervomayskoye near Donetsk. Taking advantage of the Ukrainians withdrawing reserves from the area of Svatovo, another successful tactical counter-attack have been executed by the Russian forces near Kupyansk. This way, they started to deal with Dvurecnoye bridgehead, that have been causing them trouble last weeks.

SMO Chronicle for 18 Oct 2022
⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Fiend Analysis of the situation in Ukraine from American Troll and Muzzlewhores Institute for the Study of War (ISW):
⚠️ The ISW trolls cite Russian sources again (in lack of other sources), but nothing is really true. For example, the "continued counteroffensive operations across the entire frontline in Kherson Oblast." Who has claimed that and when?
They are notorious liars whose main task is to disinform the Western public. Naive MSM writerlings think the ISW Troll Entity is serious, after all. I, on the other hand, constantly feel like I'm in a fairy tale lesson.
October 18 Key Takeaways🔻
▪️ Russian forces continued to target critical Ukrainian civilian infrastructure with air, missile, and drone strikes.
▪️ Russian troops conducted a limited ground attack in northern Kharkiv Oblast, seemingly suggesting that Russian forces may retain territorial aspirations in Kharkiv Oblast despite massive losses during recent Ukrainian counteroffensives.
▪️ Current and former US officials confirmed that members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) are in Russian-occupied Crimea to train Russian forces on how to use the Iranian drones they purchased, thereby enabling likely Russian war crimes.
▪️ Belarus continues to provide its territory and airspace to support the Russian invasion of Ukraine but remains highly unlikely to enter the war on Russia’s behalf.
▪️ Russian sources claimed that Russian forces conducted limited ground attacks in northeastern Kharkiv Oblast to regain lost positions.
▪️ Russian sources stated that Ukrainian forces continued counteroffensive operations across the entire frontline in Kherson Oblast.
▪️ Ukrainian forces continued to target Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) and ammunition depots in central Kherson Oblast.
▪️ Russian forces continued ground attacks near Bakhmut and Avdiivka.
▪️ Russian authorities are struggling to cope with their reduced logistics capacity through Crimea following the attack on the Kerch Strait Bridge.
▪️ Russian occupation authorities kidnapped Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) personnel, likely to strengthen physical control over the ZNPP’s operations.
▪️ The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) confirmed that mobilization ended on October 17 in Moscow Oblast, and Russian civilians continue to express their dissatisfaction with Russian mobilization.
▪️ Russian occupation officials are attempting to incentivize Ukrainian citizens under Russian control in northern Kherson Oblast to flee to Russia as Ukrainian forces advance, and occupation authorities may increasingly force Ukrainian civilians to relocate further behind the frontlines or to Russia in the coming days

Forwarded from Slavyangrad (Olaf)
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Highlights of Russia's #SMO in #Ukraine at 18 Oct, 19:47 Moscow Time⚡️
1. #Donetsk Direction:
Positional fighting near #Avdeevka, #Maryinka, #Ugledar. No significant developments.
Fighting continues for Pervomayskoye. The rate of advancement there is not very high.
2. #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut) Direction.:
Fighting continues for #Opytnoye and on the eastern outskirts of #Artemovsk. Our troops are also advancing south of #Artemovsk, attempting to advance south of the city and encircle it. The enemy moves additional reserves here and rotates tattered units.
3. #Soledar - #Seversk:
No significant changes.
Street fighting in #Soledar in the industrial zone. AFU counterattacks to the north of #Soledar were unsuccessful.
Positional fighting near #Spornoye and #Belogorovka.
4. #Kremennaya - #Svatovo:
Fighting continues near the settlements of #Terny and #Torskoye. #Torskoye is under the AFU.
The enemy throws reserves here in order to strengthen the defenses and repel our troops' counterattacks in order to try to resume the offensive on #Kremennaya.
In the area of #Svatovo our troops slightly displaced the AFU, recapturing one settlement (note #Gorobyevka). But the enemy is not expected to abandon its intentions to break through to #Svatovo in the coming weeks.
5. #Kherson:
On the front, the situation has not changed significantly so far, but there is an increase in civilian evacuations from #Kherson, which hints at an imminent intensification of fighting in light of the anticipated renewed attempts by the AFU to advance on #Berislav and #Kherson. The offensive is certain to begin before the US midterm elections in early November.
6. #Zaporozhye:
No significant changes on the front so far, position fighting. But there is a serious accumulation of enemy forces, which may take offensive action in the direction of #Vasilyevka (with support landing in #Energodar and ZNPP), #Tokmak and #Pologov.
