Russia-Ukraine SITREP for 26 JUL 2022 23:59* PDT - Day 153 - Kherson is Cut Off

Today's two-day report is 49 pages. Enjoy your morning coffee or tea and feed your head holes.

What's the big story? Bridges. Kaput bridges. The Antonivskyy Bridge to Kherson has hit for a third time and is beyond repair. The Antonivskyy Zaliznychnyy Mist Railroad Bridge was also damaged. Every bridge across the Dnipro into Kherson is now destroyed or badly damaged. Every Ground Line of C...

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 26 JUL 2022 14:15 PDT - Antonovskiy Bridge Attacked Again

There are multiple videos showing a rocket or artillery attack in Kherson. It is reported that the Antonovskiy Bridge was hit for a third (fourth???) time. It is nighttime so there aren't any pictures of the target, but we can count on the non-existent Russian Operational Security to share with the world what happened.

It is unconfirmed, but local reports are indicating the bridge is not...

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 26 JUL 2022 12:30 PDT - There's Something Happening Here

We have very reliable reports of a significant Russian troop withdrawal from the Izyum axis. Troops are moving north on the Ground Line of Communication (GLOC - supply line) east of the Oskil River. Reliable sources are reporting that the Russian field hospital in Borova has been closed and the patients moved north. 

There are pictures of a large fire within 2022-07-26 19:27:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 26 JUL 2022 10:30 PDT - General Update

Ukrainian forces withdrew from the Vuhlehirskaya Power Plant on July 25 and terrorist elements of the Imperial Legion with PMC Wagner Group moved in. It appears the withdrawal was a tactical decision.

Russian forces have been attempting to secure the power plant since Ukrainian forces withdrew to the west side of the reservoir on 2022-07-26 17:50:23 +0000 UTC View Post

Back at Hospital with Dr Mrs Malcontent

It's MRSA - figuring out what flavor of MRSA it is.

No SITREP

Not much happened beyond Russia making some progress in the Svitlodarsk Bulge.

Russia building pontoon bridges at Darivika and Kherson (good luck with that).

Russia made its daily charge on Bohorodychne southeast of Izyum with the same result. This time it was armor without infantry support.

Russia-Ukraine SITREP for 24 JUL 2022 23:59* PDT - Day 151 - And so it Begins, in Kherson

Thank you, everyone, for the good wishes, patience, and understanding. Dr. Mrs. Malcontent is very sore, her wound is packed, and she is taking a handful of pills every few hours, but she is home. Setting expectations, tomorrow will likely be follow-up visits and wound care. I would expect a short Situation Report.

Today's two-day report is 53 pages, and the longest one p...

Port of Odesa hit by cruise missiles – Russia negotiated grain deal in bad faith

Four Kalibr cruise missiles fired by the Russian Black Sea Fleet targeted the Port of Odesa, with two striking the facility. Serhii Bratchuk, an Odesa Military administration spokesperson, said two missiles hit the port, and Ukraine’s air defense shot down two. The port suffered moderate damage, and a fire broke out, but the missiles missed the grain silos. The attack came less than 24 hours ...

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 23 JUL 2022 01:45 PDT - Ukraine Setting Conditions in Kherson

On July 20, after the Antonovskiy Bridge in Kherson became unusable for commercial traffic from a second strike, we wrote that trucks would have to take a 140 km detour.

That detour to get to Kherson city, included crossing the Darivka Bridge over the Inhulets River. On the detour route, there is no possible way to get in or out of Kherson without crossing the Darivka Bridge. But you kne...

Russia-Ukraine SITREP for 22 JUL 2022 23:15 PDT - Day 149 - Phase 3 Never Started, Now What

Today's report is 21 pages. What's the big story? The big story is there have been almost no Russian offensive attacks anywhere in Ukraine in 48 hours. The General Staff already published the morning report for July 23 (local time), and there were only a couple of pockets of fighting in the Bakhmut area. Are Russian forces taking the operational pause they needed to take?

The other news i...

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 22 JUL 2022 17:30 PDT - 1,000 Russian Troops Trapped?

Sort of. There was some more clarity on the situation in Vysokopillya. Ukraine has it surrounded on three sides and holds fire control to the south. That area south of the town is just open fields, hardly any roads beyond two-lane tractor and Jeep tracks. Almost no trees and no discernible water features. The area would be awful to traverse without extensive counterbattery or air superiority.&n...

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 22 JUL 2022 14:30 PDT - Still Nothing

Today was truly the quietest day for combat operations in Ukraine for Russian forces.

• No attempted advances in the South Donbas
• No attempted advances in Kherson
• No attempted advances in Kharkiv
• No attempted advances south of Izyum

The Russian attempt to advance from the oil refinery in Luhansk with reserve armor was a disaster. They never reach...

Russia-Ukraine SITREP for 21 JUL 2022 23:59* PDT - Day 148 - Frozen Conflict in the Summer Heat

Today's report is 31 pages. What's the big story? The big story is if you took away artillery and Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) from both belligerents, there wouldn't be much of a war to report on today. The front is frozen, Russian forces have no combat strength to mount any meaningful offensives, and time is not on Russia's side.

A chorus of analysts, military experts, and gover...

Russia-Ukraine SITREP for 20 JUL 2022 23:59* PDT - Day 147 - Is the Russian Army Broken?

Today's report is 31 pages. The big news today is it appears that the Russian military presence in Ukraine is combat destroyed. This is not a permanent state, but there is nothing to indicate that the Russian armed services are capable of launching a significant offensive operation like they did in mid-May.

Also, which is one of the main reasons the report is late tonight, there has been ...

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 19 JUL 2022 12:45 PDT - Fog of War, They Did What?

Our previous Flash Report stated that Ukrainian air defenses shot down a Russian Su-35 aircraft in the northern part of the Kherson oblast.

We were incorrect due to the fog of war, and we thank you for your understanding.

The Russian military shot down their own Su-35 fighter plane in the northern part of the Kherson oblast.

This is the second friendly fire incident in two day...

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 19 JUL 2022 11:30 PDT - Ukraine Setting Conditions in Kherson

Two events in the last 12 hours. Ukraine has damaged the Antonovskiy Bridge, which connects Kherson city with eastern Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims they intercepted all but one of the HIMARS rockets. However, a video released by Russian puppet Kherson Oblast governor Kirill Stremousov shows the bridge suffered at least two direct hits and a glancing blow by a third rocket.

Russia-Ukraine SITREP for 18 JUL 2022 23:59* PDT - Day 145 - Who Moves First, Day 2

We did not produce a full report today because both belligerents are deep into the famous fight scene in the movie They Live. (is that an obscure enough reference?) If you haven't seen it, it is a cult classic.

It is day three of getting back to fighting and there isn't a lot of fighting. We have a deep an...

On June 30, in the Severodoentsk suburb of Metolkine, Chechen soldiers took Patrick Lancaster to a site where they claim they got in a battle with a squad of Ukrainian soldiers. The images Lancaster and his team recorded and the story from the Chechen forces raises serious questions. Did Patrick Lancaster document a war crime in Metolkine, Ukraine?

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 18 JUL 2022 10:30 PDT - Kadyrov Gets Nervous

Your humble Malcontent has had a quiet and slow-growing admiration for Alexander Luchenshankka, the disputed president of Belarus. He has demonstrated in 2022 that he is a very shrewd politician. Yes, his country has been forced into default, and the Russian Federation is raiding his ammunition supplies. He is even more of an outcast on the world stage than he was 12 months ago.

However, ...

Overnight, Alchevsk, Luhansk, was attacked by Ukrainian High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) rockets. In an attempt to counteract the HIMARS strikes, the Russian air force is flying Combat Air Patrols (CAP), likely in an attempt to locate and destroy the HIMARS launcher and support vehicles.

An antiaircraft site operated by the Luhansk People's Republic targeted their own aircr...
