I am not a supporter of writing about failures and losses, because this works into thehands of the Germans [Ukrainians]. But the situation is tense. So. What is "meat assault"? This is any assault by infantry forces without artillery support, without suppressing enemy firing points. Why is this happening? Mostly due to the lack of means of suppression. Or the inability to properly manage them. When two regiments attack side by side, the junction between them is practically unsecured. Everyone hopes for their neighbour. Or one has tanks and artillery, and the other doesn't. But the order to take the fortification is there. Now the situation in our sector is such that we cannot reach small arms firing distance. We are being exhausted with mortars and AGS on the way. Our tanks start work - enemy kamikazes immediately look for them. Hence the groups' losses at the exit. This is "meat assault" in its most uncomplicated form. The result is zero. And we are trying to come to an agreement with the neighbors. We ask them to support us when the assault starts, we come up with a wunderwaffle to launch it towards the Germans' fortification ... But we just need sensible artillery preparation. And everyone understands this. Even the Germans in our sector understand this. We are similar in psychotype: we stand to the end, we don't give up, we call each other f*ggots on the air. There is a distant guess that all our attacks are in order to exhaust them, and then the regulars will come in and finish the job with a powerful blow. Hope is on God! As long as our regiment does not finish while the regulars are marching. This is the woman in a previous post who was standing on the balcony of her apartment with her cat in a blown-out building.

It was this agency that received the heavy equipment of Wagner PMC. It is believed that Putin considers them his Praetorian Guard (guards from the Roman empire that served to emperors). But it's one thing to disperse lone picketers, and another thing to confront a mad crowd in a region that is not so peaceful. During yesterday's pogrom at Makhachkala airport, it looks like Rosgvardia demonstrated complete paralysis to the sudden riots. "Law enforcers" were unable to stop the crowd's intrusion into the airfield, as a result of which nine airport employees were injured and one policeman was killed. This is not the first time that the Rosgvardia has had the real opportunity to demonstrate its power. But, as previously, it ended in embarrassment. In the summer of 2023, Zolotov's department was supposed to stop Prigozhin's mutineers, but could not really do anything about them. Already after the mutiny, the Rosgvardia head's statements that the mutineers would not have taken Moscow sounded pathetic and ridiculous. And they try to cover their ineptitude by blaming Ukrainians. x The lynch mob looking for Jews has retreated from the airport in Dagestan and the authorities went there this morning to record a video.

Based on the accuracy of hits, the small number of misses and the lack of light in the house, forensic scientists conclude that the shooters were equipped with thermal imagers. 6/ "This was a clean-up job: all nine bodies are riddled with bullets and most of them were hit in the heads. Shots were fired at the doors and walls of the bathroom – the killers made sure to hit everyone who could be in the house. 7/ "Relatives who were allowed into the execution site noted that the usual order in the private house was not disturbed, and valuables remained in place – nothing was missing." 8/ The family had gathered to celebrate the 51st birthday of Tatyana Kapkanets.
