Yesterday I spoke about another shameful moments
of the Russian army. But to be fair, I want

to mention that the Ukrainian side also started
using the ancient 100mm KS-19 anti-aircraft guns.

Initially they were intended to fight air targets,

but now they will be used
against ground targets as well.

The first KS-19 guns entered service in 1947,
but there is a nuance. It should be understood

that the Ukrainian army has never called itself
the second army of the world and in general never

boasted of its power. And if it were not
for the aggression of the rabid neighbor,

they would continue to be engaged in domestic
politics without meddling in others' affairs.

And in general, the Ukrainians are a party that
defends its territorial integrity, so they can

use any means and all kinds of weapons for this
purpose. They will fire anything that fires,

even catapults, if it is expedient, so there is no
point in even comparing it to the shameful scrap

metal of the enemy. And for such meaty waves as
they had in Bakhmut, similar weapons will suffice.

At this point I end this topic
and move on to the next one.

But before I continue, I ask you to subscribe
to my channel, it will help to promote it.

In a summary, British intelligence
writes that the Russian winter offensive,

which began on January 11,
ended in complete failure.

Usually, their public summaries are
based on information from open sources,

OSINT Community discussions in social networks,
are days late and extremely superficial.

On the other hand, such specificity regarding the
Russian offensive may become commonly accepted,

and in the future, its start and end will be
counted precisely according to these dates.

However, this is not entirely true, as the
slow and gradual movement of the enemy,

even if they are exhausted, does not stop, even
if it goes at a lower pace. So there is no clear

sign that the winter or winter-spring
campaign has ended. Not yet, at least.

One way or another, the failing nature of the
offensive is obvious. The accumulation of enormous

reserves and restoration of firepower, and the
conduct of fierce and bloody fighting, made it

possible to make only minor advances at the cost
of enormous losses. The important conclusion is

that the Russian armed forces, no matter how
much we are frightened by the world media, are

not capable and unable to open up new battlefields
or to launch relatively deep strikes from other

directions to, for example, cover the east of the
country. They could not a year ago, much less now.

The enemy armed forces retain some ability to
attempt an offensive in the area from Luhansk

region to Ugledar. Despite the unprecedented
severity and difficulty of the fighting for the

Ukrainian side, the terrain favors the defending
side. Unfortunately, deep into occupied Donbass,

the terrain is even more conducive to defense
and then Ukrainian fighters will have to face

difficulties, but that will come later. In other
regions, Russia has been trying for months to

bolster its defenses with more manpower
of various kinds and military equipment.

Including long outdated ones like the
MT-LBs with shipboard artillery units.

War always breeds monsters. And
that's it for me, see you tomorrow.
