[REGNUM] Military correspondent Kotenok announced Ukraine's readiness for a breakthrough in several directions at once Ukraine is ready for a breakthrough in several directions at once, war correspondent Yuriy Kotenok wrote in his Telegram channel. “Priority is the southern (Azov) front. Already accumulated. In principle, there is clarity where and by what means they will go,” the military commander said. According to him, the likelihood of such a breakthrough is high. The Armed Forces of Ukraine can go on the attack within the next day or hours. Earlier, the Telegram channel “Operation Z: Military Correspondents of the Russian Spring” reported that there were reports that on May 9 the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly would not launch the announced counteroffensive . Meanwhile, the fighters of the Wagner group, with renewed vigor, stormed the last stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artyomovsk. Military correspondents cited data from Ukrainian military analysts who assessed the situation in this city. Russian fighters are deploying additional assault groups along Tolbukhin, Chernyakhovsky and Irina Levchenko streets, they are moving forward under the fire of the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As REGNUM reported , on May 7, the American newspaper The Washington Post wrote that Kiev is seeking to reduce the expectations of Western countries from a possible counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as it is afraid of not justifying the hopes placed on it. Telegraph observers believe that Russian planning bombs have forced the Ukrainian leadership to reconsider their plans for a counteroffensive . More from regnum.ru Media: US does not understand how Russia suppressed HIMARS in Ukraine American military experts cannot understand how Russia was able to suppress HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, which were transferred to the Ukrainian army as part of military assistance. On May 9, Military Watch Magazine writes about this. According to the publication, the HIMARS installations, widely used by the Armed Forces, have recently become less and less effective in terms of accuracy. At the same time, Russian air defense systems (air defense) began to increasingly shoot down missiles fired from this complex. “It remains unclear how the Russian Armed Forces could so reduce the effectiveness of these systems,” the material says. It is emphasized that in a full-scale war, HIMARS and similar means will be much more vulnerable, as strikes will be made on American satellites coordinating launches. The authors of the publication noted that in the limited conflict in Ukraine, Russia has so far refrained from shooting down NATO satellites, despite the expansion of its anti-satellite capabilities. As REGNUM reported earlier, military commander Dmitry Steshin said that Russian troops have learned to jam HIMARS guidance systems using electronic warfare (EW) systems. He noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have become less likely to use American rocket artillery, announced in the West as a "superweapon". According to him, the Russian Armed Forces are gradually destroying this type of weapon in Ukraine, so no arrivals from them are recorded. |
