⚔️🇷🇺🇺🇦 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;
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in #Starobelsk Direction at 14:00 on 18 Oct 2022⚡️

▪️ In the #Kupyansk sector, units of the AFU´s 14th Mechanized Brigade made another unsuccessful attempt to storm the Russian Forces' position at the #Kislovka - #Kotlyarovka line. Two enemy companies came under heavy artillery fire and withdrew to their initial positions with losses.

▪️ In the vicinity of #Dvurechnaya, units of the Russian Forces counterattacked units of the 1st Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine and repulsed units of the AFU from #Gorobyevka. The enemy moved to a defensive position on a small bridgehead on the eastern bank of the #Oskol River.

▪️ In the #Lyman - #Svatovo section, preventive artillery strikes were carried out against groups of the 71st Jager, 80th Airborne Assault and 25th Airborne Air Force Brigades of the AFU in the areas of the villages of #Stelmakhovka, #Rozovka, #Karpovka, #Ivanovka.

The enemy's preparations for crossing the #Zherebets River have been disrupted and the AFU assault units are regrouping.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 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.

#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.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 18 Oct 2022⚡️

The Russian Armed Forces have again struck facilities of Ukrainian energy infrastructure. During the day, targets were hit in #Zhytomyr, #Dnipropetrovsk and #Kiev regions.

#RussianFederation Territories:

▪️ Ukrainian militants shelled the villages of #Tetkino, Popovo-Lezhachi, #Guevo and #Goncharovka in #Kursk region, Mokraya Orlovka and #Glotovo in #Belgorod region, and Belaya Berezka in #Bryansk region.

Russian air defence intercepted targets near #Belgorod.

#Starobelsk Direction (MAP):

▪️ Units of the 14th AFU Mechanized Brigade attempted an attack on positions of Russian Forces on the #Kislovka - #Kotlyarovka line. The attack again ended unsuccessfully.

▪️ During a counterattack near #Dvurechnaya, Russian troops drove units of the 1st Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard out of #Gorobyevka.

▪️ Russian artillery preemptively struck enemy concentrations near the villages of #Stelmakhovka, #Rozovka, #Karpovka, #Ivanovka and disrupted AFU preparations to cross the #Zherebets River at this site.

#Soledar Direction:

▪️ There are no significant changes on the frontline, the Wagner PMC troops are fighting fiercely on the outskirts of #Bakhmut and #Soledar (+ in #Opytnoye).

#Lugansk Region:

▪️ Ukrainian militants shelled the village of #Novoivanovka with HIMARS MLRS. Several residents were wounded.

#Donetsk Direction:

▪️ Ukrainian militants shelled #Donetsk, #Makeevka, #Panteleymonovka, #Kashtanovoye, #Alexandrovka and other settlements in the agglomeration.

▪️ There are no significant changes on the front line. Mutual artillery fire along the line of contact.

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

▪️ There are artillery duels in the Posad-Pokrovskoye section near Ternovy Pody. Ukrainian formations are trying not to weaken the onslaught and are looking for weak points in the Russian defence.

▪️ In the #Berislav area, the AFU command has gathered additional forces in preparation for another offensive. Ukrainian artillery is shelling the Russian positions at the #Polyanka - #Sukhanovo - #Pyatikhatki line.

▪️ In anticipation of a large-scale offensive by the AFU in the entire direction, the authorities announced the evacuation of the #Kherson residents to the left bank of the #Dnipro River.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 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

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ 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.

⚔️🇬🇧🐮💩 Fiend Analysis - the British Unintelligence has the Floor🔺

⚠️ Our British colleagues like to distract because things are not going as they should on the front. Why not entertain the readership with some chatter? A report is expected every day and it has to be filled with information somehow, come hell or high water. However, point 2 is interesting because you hardly hear anything about the incident.

In #Kharkov region, artillerymen of the AFU equipped a position for the American M777 howitzer and delivered a large batch of ammunition. As a result of counterbattery measures by Western Group UAV calculations, the position was identified and destroyed by high-precision Krasnopol ammunition.

One could almost see the its blazing from Kiev...

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Outcome of RF Strikes on Energy System⚡️

Satellite images of Ukraine on February 3 (left photo) and October 17 (right photo) show that the use of precision-guided weapons could deprive the country's power system of not 30% of power plants, as claimed by the country's authorities, but a much larger number of facilities.

Night lighting remained only in large cities: #Kiev, Ivano-Frankovsk, #Khmelnitsky, where the nuclear power plant is located, as well as in #Lvov. The rest of the large settlements, including industrial centers - #Zhytomyr, #Vinnitsa, #Kropyvnytsky, Krivoy Rog and #Nikolaev - are practically not illuminated at night.

This suggests that generation facilities in Ukraine are not damaged, but power lines are guaranteed to be out of action.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Nikolaev - #Berislav Direction at 13:00 on 19 Oct 2022⚡️

▪️ In the #Berislav area, the AFU made another assault attempt on #Sukhanovo and #Polyanka around 8:00 by the assault groups of the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade and the 60th Separate Infantry Brigade with a total strength of two battalions.

▪️ By noon, the enemy had suffered tangible losses in personnel and equipment due to artillery fire and ATGMs. The Ukrainian command brought in a second echelon of units from the 28th Mechanized Brigade and a tank company from the 17th Separate Tank Brigade, but they too came under heavy fire.

▪️ South of Davydov Brod, the AFU attempt to encircle the Russian Armed Forces on the battlefield and penetrate the Russian defences in small groups.

▪️ In anticipation of a full-scale AFU offensive, the #Kherson regional administration evacuates civilians from #Berislav, #Belozersk, #Snigirovka and #Aleksandrovska districts to the left bank of the #Dnipro River.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #YURI: Russian Armed Forces Counterattack near #Kupyansk - Situation in the Morning of 19 Oct, publ. 14:09⚡️

The Russian army, taking advantage of the fact that the AFU has moved part of its forces from #Kupyansk direction, launched a local counterattack in order to improve its position in this area.

The day before, our units took control of the village of #Gorobyevka, which was a prelude to today's strike in the direction of the #Dvurechnoye railway. And if successful, the #Dvurechnoye bridgehead will be finished, which will be an important moment to restore, at least partially, our defence line along the #Oskol River.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #YURI: Fighting for #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut) - Situation on the Morning of 19 Oct, publ. 14:25⚡️

The Wagner PMC troops continue to push through enemy positions in the southern part of the city. The attack is heading north (towards the centre) and west. And we already have the route to #Konstantinovka under fire control and are in fact less than a kilometre away from it.

As a "nail in the ass" we have the enemy's stronghold at the school of #Opytnoye, so this area is leveled in the morning not only by artillery but also by aviation. Capturing #Opytnoye will greatly untie our hands and allow us to surround the main enemy forces in the central part of the city faster.
