BREAKING:

Ukraine has killed 6 North Korean officers in a missile strike in Eastern Ukraine.

The North Koreans had arrived in Ukraine to exchange military experience with their Russian partners.

Russia had to shoot down its newest, experimental, stealth drone:

The drone seems to have some bugs to work out.

Putin is now importing cannon fodder from North Korea?  Is he running out of Russians?

Putin has bought missiles from NoKo which have been less than stellar in performance (the ones not destroyed in storage by Ukraine). Maybe the NoKo officers were there to investigate or to show the orcs what they are doing wrong.

Russia suffers its worst month of front line losses in Ukraine as 'meat grinder' tactics see 1,271 soldiers killed or seriously injured per day

DAILYMAIL.COM
By Sabrina Penty
8 October 2024

Russia suffered its bloodiest month in September since the start of the war with Ukraine, as its front line casualties grew to 1,271 per day.

It comes as Russia continues to ramp up its 'meat grinder' tactics - a term used to describe the way Moscow ruthlessly sends waves of men forward to try to wear out Ukrainian defensive positions.

Although Russia has been making steady gains in eastern Ukraine over the last 14 months, the merciless tactic has come at a cost for Russia, with analysts pointing to these methods as the reason for the high casualty rate.

The figures for deaths and injuries seen in September are an increase from the previous highest daily casualty rate for Russian soldiers recorded in May, with an average of 1,262 soldiers killed or injured per day.

According to the Ministry of Defence, 'the increase in the casualty rate since may 2024 is almost certainly due to the extension of the combat zone to include both Kharkiv and Kursk military operations, and increased intensity along the front line'.

Six North Korean Officers Killed in Ukraine: North Korea’s Involvement in Russia’s War Grows

eports have surfaced that six North Korean officers were killed in a Russian-occupied area near Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, drawing international attention. Donetsk remains one of the most fiercely contested regions in the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war. Russian President Vladimir Putin has underscored the strategic importance of the area, stating that Russia’s primary war objective is to capture both Donetsk and Luhansk provinces.

According to a report from Radio Free Asia (RFA), citing Ukrainian media outlet Kyiv Post, Ukrainian intelligence sources confirmed that six North Korean military officers were among more than twenty casualties from a missile strike by Ukrainian forces the previous day. Several North Korean soldiers reportedly sustained injuries during the attack.

The report indicated that the North Korean officers were present at a nearby training facility and had been dispatched to serve as instructors. This aligns with claims from the Russian patriotic organization “Kremlin Snuffbox,” which posted on Telegram that a Russian Defense Ministry official confirmed the deaths of 20 soldiers, including the six North Korean officers, during missile defense training. The group also reported that three North Korean officers were injured and subsequently transported to Moscow for treatment. The incident occurred while North Korean personnel inspected troop deployments on September 30.

More fuel that won't be propelling orcish tanks and IFVs:

Feodosia is on the south coast of the Crimean Peninsula, about midway between Kerch and Simferopol. It's a port on a main road that goes northward into southern Kherson and Melitopol. This fuel probably was intended for orcish forces rather than for export.

Another orcish airbase been droned:

Nominally, it's a training base. Given its location (map in video), it's a perfect base to stage attacks and for post-attack emergency landings. Whether training or attack base, fuel and lubricants are fungible and critical commodities. That Russia evacuated the surrounding area suggests something explosive or very toxic is located there.

Given Russia's penchant for using these against civilians, I hope some drone techs and operators got taken out as well.

Russia has suffered more casualties in Ukraine war than all other conflicts combined since WWII: Pentagon
Last month, Joe Biden announced $8 billion for Kyiv to supply it with military equipment through January
By Morgan Phillips Fox News
Published October 10, 2024 3:49pm EDT

Russia has suffered some 600,000 casualties in its war with Ukraine – more than its losses in every conflict since World War II combined, according to U.S. officials.

This September was the deadliest month of the entire war for Russia, a senior U.S. defense official told reporters on a call Wednesday.

"Russian losses, again both killed and wounded in action, in just the first year of the war exceeded the total of all Soviet losses in any conflict since World War II combined," the official said.

However, the steep casualties are not a "definitive metric" of success for Ukraine, the official warned. Ukraine has also suffered mass casualties, though the U.S. has not disclosed how many.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in February that some 31,000 troops had been killed.

The U.K. ministry of Defence put Russia’s daily casualty count at 1,271 in September, and said some 648,000 Russians had been killed or injured in the war.

Ukrainian POWs Reportedly Stripped Naked, Shot in Russia’s Kursk Region

Kyiv Post
October 13, 2024

Russian troops have allegedly shot nine Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) in Russia’s Kursk region after they surrendered.

Open-source intelligence DeepState, citing its own sources from Ukraine’s 1st Tank Brigade, reported the incident on Sunday in a Telegram announcement.

It said the incident took place on Thursday, Oct. 10, when nine Ukrainian troops, some of them working as drone operators, came into contact with Russian troops after “thinking that they were in the relative rear,” who then surrendered and were subsequently shot.

DeepState added a photo containing a map that indicates the location of the incident, as well as a top-down photo, presumably taken by a drone, of men lying naked on the ground in underwear.

DeepState added that “additional details of the circumstances are being clarified.”

Ukraine’s Human Rights Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets, citing the DeepState report, called the alleged act “a gross violation of the Geneva Convention.”

“These actions must not go unpunished, and the enemy must bear full responsibility. Russia is a terrorist country that violates all the rules and customs of war. The international community should not turn a blind eye to such crimes!” Lubinets said in his Telegram announcement.

Killing POWs constitutes a war crime under the Geneva Convention.

DAY 69 - UKRAINE'S INVASION OF RUSSIA


Russian Troops Captured Nine Ukrainian Drone Operators, Stripped Them And Then Murdered Them

David Axe  |  Oct 13, 2024  |  04:33pm EDT



After a strong Ukrainian force with around a dozen battalions invaded Russia’s Kursk Oblast on Aug. 6, quickly seizing 400 square miles of the oblast, Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin reportedly gave his troops until Oct. 1 to eject the Ukrainian invaders.

The Russians missed the deadline, but not for a lack of trying. And not for a lack of brutality. A recent Russian counterattack on the western edge of the Ukrainian salient, seemingly led by the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade, didn’t get very far—but it got far enough to overtake a team of Ukrainian drone operators near a Ukrainian-occupied Russian fortification outside the village of Leonidovo.

The area is garrisoned by the Ukrainian army’s 33rd Assault Battalion and 41st Mechanized Brigade.

Shortly after capturing the nine Ukrainians, the Russians reportedly stripped them down to their underwear, forced them to lie face-down on the ground—and then shot them in their heads, killing all nine.  .  .

Tavriya paratroopers repulsed a massive Russian attack and burned 7 armored vehicles with infantry and 1 tank.

Angelina Shorohova  |  13.10.2024  |  17:26

25 armored vehicles with infantry with the support of 5 tanks went to storm the positions of the 79th separate landing-assault Tavriya brigade, which holds the defense in the Kurakhiv direction.

The occupiers failed to reach a suddenness — the columns were detected by aeronautics in time. The occupiers faced artillery fire and kamikaze drone strikes far away on their approaches.

The anti-tankers successfully joined the battle, mine barriers worked reliably.

The paratroopers, repelling the attack, burned 7 armored vehicles with infantry and 1 tank. Another tank was lined up. 33 occupiers were eliminated during this battle.   .  .

ISW: Ukrainian F-16 Likely Shot Down Russian Su-34 Fighter Jet

Ivan Khomenko  |  Oct 13, 2024  |  11:18

A Russian military blogger claims that a Ukrainian F-16 may have shot down a Russian Su-34 fighter jet, potentially marking the first confirmed instance of Ukraine using a Western-supplied aircraft to down a Russian piloted jet. This information comes from the latest report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

On October 12, a Russian military blogger, closely linked to the Russian Air Force, confirmed the loss of the Su-34 but did not provide specific details regarding the circumstances of the incident. The blogger stated that the jet’s crew had been killed, though they denied the aircraft was downed by Ukrainian forces. Other Russian military sources have suggested that the Su-34 may have crashed due to technical issues or pilot error.

However, a separate Russian Telegram channel, reportedly operated by Russian airborne officers and the staff of Russia’s “Dnepr” military grouping, claimed that a Ukrainian F-16 likely downed the Su-34 while it was conducting a bombing mission with glide bombs about 50 kilometers from the front line.

The Telegram channel criticized other Russian military bloggers, accusing them of spreading misinformation about the incident and hindering the development of strategies to counter the Ukrainian F-16 threat. It highlighted the issues of outdated Russian aircraft and the fatigue of Russian pilots.  .  .  .

Update on the strike against the oil storage facility in Feodosia:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP4nSoF3-e8

Several storage tanks and their contents confirmed destroyed, several more damaged (and contents ???), and pipeline within the facility damaged or destroyed. This facility is at least offline for weeks, due to the internal pipeline damage, and its capacity decreased in the long-term.
