Russian drones and artillery are systematically neutralizing Ukrainian MLRS HIMARS while thousands of Russian Reservists are intensively training in training centers.
Our magazine covers the war in Ukraine, with the greatest possible care and objectivity, even if this disturbs many inside, since it is a merciless military conflict with many exchanges and losses and many “cloudy” spots.
We mention this because the truth of what is happening on Ukrainian soil has two sides, as a savage war always does, for which the unfortunate civilians are paying dearly, especially now that the Holy Days of Christmas are approaching.
What is really happening now in Eastern Ukraine
The Russians withdrew from Kherson after failing to achieve their tactical and strategic objectives all the time, and now they are preparing the biggest military offensive since the occupation of Berlin in 1945, (when they then had three armies ready for this purpose, ignoring the human casualties).
According to the claims of American experts, Moscow needs to negotiate with Kyiv for a respite to “work on its mistakes”, after which a huge force of the Russian armed forces will launch a large-scale offensive against the Armed Forces of Ukraine , which we may never have seen in the last 75 years, surpassing even the occupation of Berlin in 1945.
The Russian steps in order to achieve its goals
This is the harsh reality, since Moscow wants to have achieved all its specific goals before sitting down at the table, otherwise it will “lose” the war.
In order to achieve its goal, Russia is adopting the following measures:
1. Neutralization of MLRS HIMARS systems
Two Ukrainian MLRS HIMARS were destroyed in the Donetsk region. Two Ukrainian HIMARS multiple launch missile systems, used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strike the ground in Luhansk and Donetsk from the Kramatorsk region, were detected by the Russian military and destroyed in their positions by precision strikes.
These are the 14th and 15th HIMARS MLRS launchers destroyed by the Russian military since entering service with the Ukrainian military, revealing Moscow’s “surgical strike” plan to neutralize all Ukrainian strategic weapons.
2. Russian regiments with T-14 «Armata» armoured battle tanks
The crews of Russian T-14 ‘Armata’ main battle tanks are trained to control these systems by testing combat tactics with them, thus revealing that the Russians will throw their much-hyped tank into the battle of Ukraine.
In addition to this fact, T-14s were seen a few months ago on the firing range in Kazan. In videos released by Kazan, tank crews can be seen training alongside the Reservists. The appearance of the T-14 Armata suggests that in the near future a new generation of tanks will be involved in the war in Donbass on the territory of Ukraine. T-14 Armata tanks are the least vulnerable to anti-tank missile systems actively used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
3. Russian soil became a giant training base
In 10 training centers and firing ranges, the Russian Reservists are trained intensively with firing and a special course based on the experiences of the previous space. At exactly the same time, T-14 Armata tanks were spotted in the training area where the Reservists are trained.
4. New Russian artillery units with Iskander missiles ready
Russia has re-equipped new and old artillery units with Iskander-M OTRKs, thus showing its intentions for the upcoming winter or spring offensive according to the US Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army.
“Missile formations of the Armed Forces of Russia have completed rearming with the modern Iskander-M complex”. This was announced by the Ministry of Defense of Russia, emphasizing the uniqueness of the complex and the absence of similar systems in Ukraine.
According to open sources, the range of the Iskander-M is up to 500 kilometers (data vary). But such a range makes the missiles essential to the impending Russian attack. The American press previously wrote that the Iskander-M uses special “traps” for air defense systems.
Russian military personnel are already using the Iskander-M during the invasion of Ukraine. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, rocket artillery units are receiving modern armament. Also, Russian troops are receiving new multiple launch missile systems, including the Tornado family.
5. The Russian Armed Forces are also supplied with modernized 2S19M2 Msta-S self-propelled howitzers
The training of thousands of Reservists, the equipping of the Russian artillery with missiles of all types, but also with cannons, the tripling of the production of the Russian factories in the Urals, the movement of 20,000 Russian soldiers to Belarus, the constant bombing of the Ukrainian infrastructure with cruise missiles, show that Moscow’s next military offensive will be unprecedented, and will be Putin’s last card to win in this country, or else all will be lost.
