There hasn’t been much to report about the battlefield for a month now. For the most part, the UAF just picks off Russian hardware from a distance. In response, Shoigu hits an oil depot from time to time. Russia’s strikes have never once been able to actually punish the UAF or get Kiev to change their behavior. But maybe another missile barrage targeting, oh I don’t know, how about Ukraine’s hot dog factories this time — yeah that’ll do the trick.
In the meantime, there is still sluggish fighting around Bakhmut:
On September 12, Ukrainian military sources shared video of Ukrainian servicemen in the center of the village of Klescheevka located to the south of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). The Wagner flag is seen waving on one of the buildings there.
Ukrainian offensive on the southern flank of Artemovsk has been ongoing for about four months. During the fierce fighting, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) managed to entere the village of Klescheevka several times but were repelled by Russian forces. Prolonged battles for the heights on the outskirts still continue.
Over the past two weeks, the AFU have increased pressure in the area. As a result, the Ukrainian military again entered Klesheevka. They recently managed to advance from the southern outskirts towards the central part. The Russian military sources confirm that the control of village is divided almost equally.
The Wagner flag seen on the video shared by the AFU confirms that the Russian military is still in control of the building in the center and the warring sides are fighting for every house in the village.
Since the battle is still ongoing, a large part of Klescheevka remains in the grey zone, Russian forces are in control of the north-eastern outskirts while the AFU attempt to gain a foothold in the south.
The UAF also captured the village of Robotyne and expanded out a bit around it.
The Russians took out a Challenger for their efforts. We hadn’t seen those being used before.
British Challenger 2 tanks finally joined the fighting in Ukraine; but it turned out that they are already burning down on the front lines. On September 5, footage shared by Ukrainian servicemen confirmed that at least one Challenger 2 tank was destroyed in the Zaporozhie region. In several hours, the local Russian officials confirmed the reports.
This is reportedly the second case of Challenger combat loss in history. The first one was destroyed by friendly fire.
Other than that, the front is as stable as it was a year ago in this area, essentially.
The more worrying and startling news is that the UAF continues to strike deep into the Russian interior. They just hit a dry dock in Sevastopol and may have taken out some important naval assets.
The Sevastopol Shipyard on the Crimean Peninsula was on fire early on Wednesday and two ships were damaged after Ukraine launched 10 missiles and three speedboat attacks on the port, Russia's defence ministry said.
Seven missiles were downed by Russia's air defence systems and all three boats were destroyed by a patrol ship, the ministry said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
"As a result of being hit by enemy cruise missiles, two ships under repair were damaged," the ministry said.
There was satellite imagery showing that the dry docks were in use before the attacks:
The UAF has clearly made good use of their access to satellite imagery and missiles and drones (naval drones too).
Also, since Strelkov is in prison, I figure I’ll have to start asking the obvious questions instead such as:
Why are important military assets not hidden or better protected?
Why is the “red line” on strikes within Russian territory not enforced by Moscow?
When will the Kremlin make good on their warnings and threats to Kiev?
When will the Kremlin make good on their warnings and threats to NATO?
Is it treason to point out that the UAF is striking into Russia with impunity?
Is the sustained degradation of Russian hardware by long-range UAF strikes actually a clever 5D Shoigu plan?
Will anyone be fired, ever, for the constant losses of unprotected military hardware?
Will arresting another blogger help avoid future strikes on unprotected, exposed asset?
Finally, the real question that we want answered, but are too afraid to ask …
When will Shoigu take out the Hunter Biden shadow meth-cabal hiding out in the Chernobyl tunnels and conducting experiments splicing the genes of hookers and wild local fauna to create irradiated super-weapon chimeras?
The people need to know.
I do not have 51 PHDs in military studies and so, clearly, we need to ask someone who knows his stuff instead. I hope Martyanov can pass our questions along to General Gerasimov.
Also: your mailman works for the cabal. He knows that you know. Do with that information what you will.
Stay frosty out there, patriots.
Over and out.
According to Shogun Shoigu if Western rockets are used to hit Crimea there will be a super strong retaliation against command centers and all that. Ukrainian Telegram is saying Strom Shadows were used in the hit on Sevastopol but MoD is claiming the Ukrainians just used a bunch of S200s. I guess the implication is that this strike was okay and meets the approval of MoD so no retaliation against command centers or anything important should be expected. Doomers claiming the Kremlin is weak BTFO.
NATO is obviously terrified of Moscow because they are using S200s and drones to blow up Russias infastructure, planes, and warships because if they weren't they would be using Western Rockets. This strike is actually proof of how scared the West is. And the Ukrainians claiming they did use Western rockets are just trying to goad the Russians into a retaliation strike that would cost the Kremlin it's most valuable weapon in the war..and that's moral capital and high ground. And without that accumulated moral capital Russia is no different than Zog West.
But for real I guess the Ukrainians are also playing the attrition game here pretty well. Will Russia run out of unprotected high value targets laid out for Ukrainian drones and missiles before Ukraine runs out out of fighting age males?
It tends to support my hypothesis that this war is not meant to be won, but to be kept going so as to run the various Corruption Machines attached to Ukraine for as long and profitably as possible.
Why Ukraine now? Apart from the usual reasons, probably the main push is via Chabad's Heavenly Jerusalem Project:

oday, we can see the actions of this rabbi-a member of the Judeo-Nazi-Hasidic Chabad movement, whose ideology is the statement " Jews are above all, and Chabad is above Jews." By the way, in the early 1930s, Stalin, who had once studied at the Tiflis Theological Seminary and was well versed in religious matters, sent Chabad out of the USSR as a fascist sect. But in the nineties, the Chabad people again occupied Russia. To quote Lazar's triumphant report to the American Chabad Center: "Russia has known many revolutions, but the most peaceful, quietest, and most effective is the revolution that the Chabad envoys made." Apparently, for this Jewish annihilation of the USSR, Putin awarded Chabadnik four of Russia's highest awards.:The Order of Friendship of Peoples, the Order of Minin and Pozharsky, the Order of Peter the Great of the first degree and the Golden Badge of Honor "Public Recognition".'
If Ukraine does not work out they may claim a back-up in Kazakhstan!

36 million Ukrainians to be eliminated - they've made a good start already:

It links to the re-creation of Khazaria:
'The Jewish False Messiah – Chabad Rebbe Schneerson:
“The Slavs are Temporary Guests on these lands and are subject to Eviction. We will return this territory, and build the Great Khazaria – the Jewish state, as 50 years ago, we created Israel.”
# CHABAD Ukraine created the pretext for CHABAD Putin/Russia to invade Ukraine. “Putin claimed his goal is the de-Nazification of Ukraine.”
NO. PUTIN, UKRAINE KHAZARIANS AND ISRAEL WANT A PROLONGED WAR TO DESTROY UKRAINE-
TO BE TAKEN OVER BY JEWISH IMMIGRANTS, JUST LIKE THEY DID IN PALESTINE
(Think about HOW they Drove the Masses out of Syria)
Chabad Death Cult, Khazarian Zionists Mafia, Ukraine = New Jerusalem/New Khazarian'
A search on Yandex yields a lot more references to the Heavenly Jerusalem Project.
To be fair to Martyanov, if he overcame his materialist obsessions, he might be able to use his boasted mathematical skill to correlate some spiritual forces and how they control the industrial military and political forces and so better understand how and why things happen as they do.
