ОСУВ "Хортиця": ОФІЦІЙНО

🔈З посиланням на ресурси порталу DeepState в ЗМІ поширюється інформація про перебування окремих підрозділів Сил оборони України в оперативному оточенні в районі населених пунктів Успенівка та Трудове.

Дана інформація не відповідає дійсності. Головнокомандувачем Збройних сил України було прийнято рішення про виведення підрозділів Сил оборони України з відповідного району метою уникнення оточення.
Військові частини, які протягом тривалого часу вели важкі оборонні бої з переважаючими силами противника здійснили необхідні маневри задля уникнення оточення та продовжують виконання операційних завдань на рубежі Курахове - Константинопольське.

RT @RALee85: Russian telegram channels posted videos of fiber optic cable FPV strikes on a Ukrainian Abrams tank in Kursk oblast last week. Aside from a concussion, the crew survived without injury and made it back to friendly lines. @KofmanMichael and I spoke to the commander of the tank from Ukraine's 47th Mechanized Brigade about what happened, and here is what he told us: (tweeted with his permission)

"That's our tank. But they only posted two of the strikes. Yesterday [from last week] was the first time that the crew survived multiple hits while inside a disabled Abrams. Actually, there 4-6 direct hits. The crew survived, and even without injuries. God bless America.

Fiber-optic FPVs. Between four and six hits within like 2 minutes. I believe that at least one more got stuck in the net. Two more missed several minutes before.

They apparently hit the engine. They unable to penetrate either the turret or the hull elsewhere while we inside. coming...

RT @RALee85: Some of his takeaways about using the Abrams in combat:

"1. The Abrams is a great tank. Thanks to the fact that the ammo is completely separated from the crew, the crew has a chance to survive (unlike in the T series tanks).

2. Without the additional ERA and 'cope netting' on top of the turret, we would have been smashed and surely dead by now without any chance. The tank's armour is weak, and it is vulnerable (as any other tank) to FPV drones.

3. The crew survived multiple FPV hits inside the tank thanks to the aforementioned ERA and 'cope netting'. We as as crew were allowed to install the protection as we liked, we analysed everything we could, we did a huge job, and this saved our lives in the long run.

4. The most valuable advantage of the Abrams is that, when having MUCH additional armour and a thorough approach, it saves human lives, even in DIRE conditions.

5. We, the crew(s), are in love with this tank and are immensely grateful to the United States.

6. If the US provided the tanks with the original armour and the complete ARAT 1/2 kits, this would make us more protected (although the top would still remain unprotected and we would need Kontakt-1, etc.).

7. The American tankers should act promptly. Their tanks are too thin and vulnerable given the current threats on the battlefield. Protect your tanks urgently to avoid losses in potential near-future conflicts, taking into account our experience."

He also added that the Abram's weight isn't a significant problem even with 2-3 tons of additional weight from ERA.

It is also important to note that Ukraine did not receive the latest version of the Abrams and they were sent the export version without depleted uranium armor.

RT @RALee85: Regarding the training he received from US instructors:

"Well, we got a luxurious shooting practice (around 100 rounds fired by each gunner) and some good overall knowledge about the tank.

But. The American instructors AND military were completely unaware of the modern battlefield threats. And still are unaware (I communicate with some of the American tankers and try to share information with them).

E.g. they are shocked that Russians can see us at night with thermal-vision recon drones (we were taught that we would be haunting the Russians who are blind at night), they do not understand at all the threat posed by the FPVs, etc."

I think I see 3 x Akula-class SSNs, 3 x SSBNs and the decommissioned Delta-IV Yekaterinburg with some auxiliaries alongside here.

This means, if I'm right, that 1 x SSBN was at sea on the 5th. https://twitter.com/capellaspace/status/1869883343908540644#m
