does Russia even qualify anymore? buying weapons from Iran and North Korea, sucking up to China (and failing at it, lol!) "unstoppable" missiles being shot down, burning tanks in shattered ranks (stole that one), using attack helicopters to shoot expensive ass missiles at abandoned farm equipment...need i go on? this is not how a "superpower" acts...

is it really a surprise? people haven't changed all that much
history doesn't get you shit. neither does having nuclear weapons. land mass? meh...they are going to have to learn (or be taught) that the days of empire are in the past... or they too will fracture and scatter like the former Soviet states did. nobody is afraid of the big bad Russian Pooh bear anymore.
i hear that grabbing women by the pussy is making a comeback too, because of the very same moron...
none. the Soviet Union tried that in the early 60s. you can't hide shit like that from satellites. they don't need land-base missiles there, unless their submarine fleet is as big a fucking joke as their tank corps and infantry.
besides this, the US has people working for us everywhere. maybe the only place where we are short on human intelligence is North Korea.

Eight days after the launch of the first offensive attempts by the Ukrainian army against the Russian defensive lines in the Zaporizhia region and in the south of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), the least that can be said is that the record both in terms of losses and progress is a disaster.
The Ukrainian offensive began on June 4, 2023, with an attempt to break through the front line in southern DPR. The Ukrainian army deployed several mechanized battalions and tanks for its offensive, which ended in bitter failure, and significant losses in terms of both men and equipment (several tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles were at best damaged at worst destroyed).
Despite this failure, on the morning of June 5, 20223, the Ukrainian army again launched an offensive in the direction of Ougledar, in the south of the DPR, and towards Velikaya Novossiolka, in the region of Zaporijia.

The June 5 attack near Ougledar was much more powerful than that of the day before, and enabled the Ukrainian army to penetrate the outskirts of Novodonetskoye, without succeeding in settling there. The soldiers of the Ukrainian army are massively bombarded there by Russian artillery, and a veritable system of shuttles of armored personnel carriers then goes back and forth to bring “fresh blood”. These vehicles fall themselves under the strikes of the Russian artillery or explode on mines, and are replaced as and when destroyed.
It was during this battle that the German Leopard tanks made their first appearance on the front line.
On the same day, the 23rd Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AUF) attacked the Novopol-Novodarovka line with a battalion tactical group and two tank platoons. But the attack was repelled by Russian forces.
This same Ukrainian brigade also launched an offensive on the heights near Novossiolka, and with reinforcements of marine infantry units and battalion tactical groups began to advance 2 km west of Neskutchnoye.
On the second day of the Ukrainian offensive, faced with the manifest failure of the latter, kyiv then remained silent, acting as if the attack had not yet begun. The next day, June 6, 2022, Ukraine destroys Novaya Kakhovka dam, drowning several villages as well as part of the city of Kherson. At the same time it also destroyed the ammonia gas pipeline linking Togliatti to Odessa, which was part of the cereal agreement.
Meanwhile, the Russian air force heavily bombarded Novossiolka, where there is an important Ukrainian fortified zone, with nearly 15 FAB-500 hovering bombs of 500 kg. And the Ukrainian army had to withdraw from Novodonetskoye after heavy losses.
Kamikaze drones were also used by the Russian army to destroy Ukrainian army equipment in the Zaporizhia region.
On June 6, the Russian Minister of Defense announces that in three days, 71 Russian soldiers have died and 210 have been injured while repelling the Ukrainian offensive. On the Ukrainian side, the losses are monstrous. The Russian Ministry of Defense thus indicates that the Ukrainian army lost nearly 1900 soldiers (wounded and dead) during the same period, and more than 200 pieces of equipment including many tanks, including several Leopards.
At the same time, the Ukrainian army tries again to attack Novodonetskoye from several directions at the same time with about twenty armored vehicles provided by NATO, but without success. Russian reconnaissance units detect the movement of the FAU, a battle quickly ensues and ends in the failure of the Ukrainian advance.
On June 7, the Ukrainian army attempted to attack further west, in the Zaporizhia region, towards the village of Lobkovoye. A small group with two armored personnel carriers and two Hummers attempted to advance cautiously towards the Russian positions, but were discovered. A battle ensued and ended with the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops.

The FAU then launched an exploratory battle between the Dnieper and Orekhov with a company and about ten tanks, to try to find a fault in the Russian defense. Without success. Two American armored vehicles exploded in a minefield, the Ukrainian troops then halted and began to retreat under the fire of Russian artillery, which then pounded their positions. The two damaged armored vehicles were left in the minefield.
And the attempts to attack Vremievka also ended in bitter failure thanks to the massive intervention of the Russian air force and artillery, and the actions of the Russian troops of the Vostok group. In one day, the Ukrainian army again lost several hundred soldiers and several dozen tanks, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, plus three Krab self-propelled artillery systems and other pieces of armaments .
On June 8, 2023, Russian forces report that the Ukrainian army has again attempted an offensive in the Orekhov area of Zaporizhia region. In the middle of the night, after massive artillery strikes, 1500 men and 150 armored vehicles from the 47th mechanized brigade of the FAU launched a new offensive. But reconnaissance units detected the advance of Ukrainian troops, which were massively hit by Russian anti-tank missiles, artillery and aircraft. Russian electronic warfare systems also activate, jamming the signals of the Ukrainian troops, who find themselves totally disorganized.
After two hours of combat, the Ukrainian army had lost several dozen tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and nearly 350 soldiers. Faced with significant losses, some Ukrainian units then refused to apply the orders and go on the attack.
It should be noted that the AUF 47th Mechanized Brigade, which suffered heavy losses near Orekhov, has been trained by NATO forces throughout Europe in recent months and has been equipped with Western weapons . The problem is that they were trained to fight with the help of troop coordination systems, which were jammed (GPS signal and communication) by Russian electronic warfare systems. Deprived of this high-tech crutch, the Ukrainian soldiers found themselves totally disorganized on the battlefield, unable to deal effectively with the fire from the Russian army.
On the same day, fighting continued in the southern part of the DPR. Despite the appalling losses the Ukrainian army has continued to send new waves of soldiers non-stop (in fact when the French media accuses Russia of doing this, it is accusatory inversion, because it is Ukraine who massively uses this tactic). But the Ukrainian soldiers realize the important losses in their rows, and more and more then refuse to follow the orders. For their part, the Russian troops continue to hold firm.
It was then that the first information about the destruction of Leopard tanks began to appear.
Information confirmed by drone video the next day:

And the Leopard tanks are not the only ones to show a pitiful performance on the ground, the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and the M1224 MaxxPro are also massively destroyed by Russian army fire.

On the morning of June 9, the Ukrainian army sent new troops to attempt a breakthrough in the Zaporizhia region. The AFU tried to create a powerful shock fist to encircle the Russian troops, and hold on to their forward positions. Intense fighting then ensued, with the support of Russian artillery and aviation to destroy Ukrainian equipment. All this time the front line remained stable and the Russian forces did not move from their positions.
https://t.me/donbassinsider/37153?single
On the night of June 9-10, 2023, there was again fighting near Orekhov after heavy strikes by Ukrainian artillery against Russian positions. But still no success for the FAU who again suffered heavy losses in men and equipment.
Russian troops struck south of Novoandreyevka, destroying several Ukrainian armored vehicles. Four others remained stuck in minefields in the Malaya Tokmashka region. Russian special forces units also destroyed a tank and a minesweeper in this area.
The Ukrainian army has also tried to organize electronic countermeasures to reduce the capabilities of Russian forces in terms of reconnaissance and communication. In vain. Ukrainian soldiers also faced major problems due to minefields laid by Russian forces. The latter use remote mining systems before and after combat in the fields crossed by the FAU, which causes the Ukrainian troops to roll over the mines on the way (when trying to advance towards the Russian positions) , but also on the way back when they try to flee or evacuate the wounded or the damaged material.
After six days of offensive, the Ukrainian army had already lost more than 10% of the M2 Bradleys delivered, as well as about 20% of the Leopard 2A6 tanks.

Despite this, the Ukrainian army again attempted a breakthrough on the evening of June 10, around 21:20 p.m. Fighting took place near Orekhovo, Lobkovoye, and Novodonetskoye. But Russian troops repelled these attacks with the help of aircraft, artillery and anti-tank missiles.
https://t.me/donbassinsider/37217
In Ougledar, Russian FPV drones also inflicted destructive strikes on FAU equipment located in urban areas.

On the other hand, near Vremievka, the Kaskad battalion (Russian armed forces) preferred to withdraw to high positions to avoid being surrounded by Ukrainian troops, which allowed the latter to take control of Blagodatnoye and Neskoutchnoye without fights. I would like to point out before some people react in a very emotional way, that these villages and the Russian positions therein are in the gray area. The first line of defense of the Russian army is further south, and has never been approached by the Ukrainian army. Moreover, Neskoutchnoye was retaken the next day by Russian forces, after massive shelling by Ukrainian troops who had tried to settle there.
La same situation takes place in Velikaya Novossiolka, north of Neskutchnoye, which changed hands several times in a single day. As soon as the Russian troops withdrew and the Ukrainian army entered the village, heavy artillery and multiple rocket launcher strikes, as well as airstrikes, were inflicted on the area. Ukrainian troops left the village, Russian troops returned. The Ukrainian army again attacked with mechanized units. The Russian troops withdrew and as soon as the units of the Ukrainian armed forces entered the locality, they were again shot at, and this was repeated several times. The losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 24 hours were about 350 soldiers and about 40 pieces of equipment.
Moreover even the Telegraph concluded that the Ukrainian offensive would have difficulty breaking through the Russian defense lines, which it has still not reached.
Donbass Insider
🇷🇺🇺🇦 L'édition britannique du Telegraph rapporte avec regret que pour réussir, les troupes ukrainiennes doivent percer la ligne de défense russe, dont la profondeur peut atteindre trente kilomètres, qui se compose de champs de mines, de fossés antichars, équipés de points de tir à longue...t.me
On June 11, the Ukrainian army again tried to approach the Russian positions located opposite Orekhov. But after receiving fire from heavy machine gun automatic grenade launchers, the Ukrainian soldiers retreated with casualties. Judging by radio intercepts the casualties were eight dead and 11 wounded.
On the other hand, further east, towards Vremievka and Ougledar, the bad weather temporarily benefited the Ukrainian army, by preventing Russian aircraft and drones from flying. Deprived of aerial reconnaissance and the ability to conduct air or helicopter strikes, the Russian military retreated, allowing Ukrainian troops to take control of the village of Makarovka.
Donbass Insider
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Analyse de la situation Dans l'ensemble, je suis assez indifférent à ce qui se passe et la carte montre pourquoi; les FAU n'ont pas encore atteint la première grande ligne défensive. Les combats se déroulent jusqu'à présent contre des positions de reconnaissance, ce qui est assez...
But this weather advantage did not last. The next day, June 12, 2023, the Russian army was able to fly drones, planes and helicopters again. The Russian 127th Motorized Division launched a massive counter-offensive and was able to regain control of Makarovka, and approach Neskutchnoye. As of this writing, fighting is still ongoing in this area.
The balance sheet after eight days of offensive by the Ukrainian army is terrible for the latter. Large numbers of reservists were sent on frontal attacks just weeks after enlisting. Units trained by NATO countries, such as the 47th brigade of the AUF have literally disappeared from the reports, which seems to indicate that the unit suffered irreparable losses so heavy that the unit is no longer operational.
Judging by field information, both in Zaporizhia and in Velikaya Novossiolka, the FAU lost the most active part of their troops. Exact figures have yet to be established, however, judging by the amount of equipment destroyed, Ukrainian troops are believed to have lost approximately between 7000 to 7500 soldiers (killed and wounded) in eight days of "successive assaults of flesh cannon".
In Zaporizhia, for the past four days, almost all medical institutions in the city were filled with Ukrainian soldiers. In Hospital No. 5 alone, around 1500 wounded FAU soldiers were brought in.
The material losses of the Ukrainian army are commensurate. For 100 m gained, the Ukrainian army loses several tanks and armored vehicles or infantry combat each time. A significant percentage of Western weaponry supplied to Ukraine has already been destroyed. It is no coincidence that the Ukraine is once again clamoring for Germany to provide it with more Leopard tanks, three times as many! This new request clearly indicates that Kyiv has lost much of the equipment previously supplied. Equipment that turned out not to be the much vaunted "super weapon" of the Ukrainians.
I recall that the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had told the Russians to tremble in fear because soon the Ukrainian army would have Leopard tanks.
Coming. So on.

As a result, several of the latter, including two mine-clearing Leopards, burned on the plains of the Zaporizhia and Donetsk regions, as Russian MP Piotr Tolstoy had promised on the plateau of BFM TV.
If Germany and the other Western countries continue to supply their armament to Kiev for its offensive in this way, the Russian army will not only demilitarize the Ukrainian army, but also a large number of NATO countries at the same time.
Tonight the fighting continues, and for those who want to be kept up to date with what's going on in real time, I encourage you to follow me. on Telegram, where I publish more information, and especially video evidence, which I could not include in this article because the videos are too heavy and can only be viewed in the application.
