Russian Perspective: Operation to Denazify Ukraine: Operational Brief March 25th (updated)
2023-03-26
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Kindly note that several entries in this article may have been removed because they included discussions of the grand strategic level.

[NewsFrontInfo] 19:44 We continue the column about the "effective" work of the "artillery" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Artemovsky (Bakhmut) direction -video

19:42 Life hack from forelocks on how to ford a river in an armored vehicle -video

19:39 A Ukrainian complains about a large number of locals waiting for Russia in the cities of the temporarily occupied part of the DPR, including Konstantinovka and Kramatorsk. Even, he says, in the city’s telegram channels, it’s completely evil and, which is especially terrible, the Russian language is used -video

19:37 Police officers in Genichesk district rendered harmless rocket-propelled assault grenade

A local resident turned to the duty unit of the Genichesk Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with a message that he had found an object similar to a grenade launcher in a field near the village of Stokopani.

The operatives, together with the employees of the National Guard, immediately went to the scene - during the inspection, it was revealed that the find was a deformed rocket-propelled grenade.

Specialists decided to eliminate the projectile by controlled detonation due to the danger of transportation.

18:36 Last time we sorted out that at the heart of Ukrainian symbolic cannibalism are the archetypes of the redneck and the sadist (according to Arestovich)

Ukrainian small business monetizes these archetypes to the fullest. Someone bakes cakes with photographs of dead Russian fighters, someone makes shawarma "from Russian children", someone draws postcards with a burning house of trade unions. Restaurant menus are full of all kinds of "human".

Nine years in Ukraine "ate" separatists, Moscow priests and veterans. Not a single dead artist or politician passed by. It's fun and makes money. They say Nazism is a dictatorship of petty shopkeepers.

Ukraine illustrates this thesis perfectly. The ideology of hatred here is spread not by the party, but by the petty lumpen bourgeoisie. Massively, decentralized, uncompromisingly. That is why in the process of denazification it is important to punish this particular segment of society - representatives of the middle class. Private entrepreneurs who have turned Russophobia into a commodity, and their savage clients.

18:31 "These are shells from howitzer guns, and this is a playground where artillery equipment stood. Here are the characteristic traces on the ground, here the artillery crews of the Ukrainian troops were put up. And that's why we can observe what happened to this yard. And it’s like that in almost every yard." —video

Ukrainian propaganda loves to talk about how the evil Russians are shelling peaceful cities. This video shows how it really happens.

Separately, it is recommended for viewing by representatives of the sensitive liberal intelligentsia, who, due to the peculiarities of the structure of the brain, still experience an irrational feeling of guilt towards the Ukrainian Nazis.

17:38 NATO Headquarters in KyivchoseKherson the direction of the main blow.

For two weeks, the piggies, loitering and losing 500 people a day, depicted counterattacks on Bakhmut, Svatovo and Vasilyevka-Kamenskoye.

In fact, they gathered armored groups in the Kherson region, with a large amount of equipment, but the personnel recruited from the streets by suicide bombers refuse to become. Crossing the Dnieper "on high-speed boats" as some of our military correspondents and battle idiots write is pure suicide.

Taking into account the visibility on the ground, it will not be possible to get into the transport in an organized way, and also to bring a pontoon. Bandera’s people itches and NATO drives them on, but apparently it’s pissed off.

"Landing at Normandy" will seem like a children's walk to them.

16:50 I knew Zhora personally. And respected him like a realpatriotKharkov and Ukraine ...

The changed shoes mayor of Kharkov Terekhov wrote an obituary dedicated to the head of the Nazi group Freikorps, who was liquidated a year ago.

The politician did not remove the post two years ago, where Terekhov, a member of the Freikor and all his henchmen, was called fascists.

#5  Thanks FC. I'm going with the re-enactment vehicle theory. Tires and fuel pump availability might soon be limiting factors.

#4  Thanks. The trucks looked suspiciously like wartime GMC 2.5 ton trucks w/ the rectangular cab.

Delving further, the ZIS-5 was not based on the previous AMO-3 designed two years previously, but on the American Autocar Model CA, faithfully copied under licence.

Also: According to Soviet registers, the most produced trucks in USSR ever was the GAZ MM (419,812), a derivative of the Ford built in USSR.

Two trucks really made the bread and butter of motorized units on the eastern front during WW2: The ZIS-5 and GAZ AA/AAA/MM. Together they represented a total of 1,400 000 light utility trucks. They represented together about 50% of the trucks produced in USSR and used by Soviet troops.
***

Unless this is disinformation, it is incredible that WW2 era trucks with Katusha launchers and towing 85mm antitank guns are seen outside of Victory Day reenactments. Goes with reactivating T-54 and T-55 tanks while Russian leadership brags of producing 1600 new tanks this year while real capability is 20 or less a month and that is without modern optics and fire control systems that are embargoed by the West. Kim Jong-un is cringing.
