More Russian stuff blowing up: Fighting heats up on the left bank of the Dnipro River [1]

Russia has a manpower problem — as in they need more bodies to waste on the battlefield of Ukraine, but they don’t want to have to draft the young men of Moscow and St. Petersburg. That might prompt civil unrest.

So they are sweeping the country of various undesirable types.

x 2/ Important Stories reports that the continuing need for manpower has prompted the Russian government's Office of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative to issue a plan to recruit socially vulnerable sections of society into the Russian army. — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) November 3, 2023

ATACMS away! Turn the audio on for this one.

Vuhledar is now a verb.

x The Russians are seriously Vuhledaring again, seen here losing at least (not an accurate count as there are piles of burning Russian armor) 4 BMPs and 3 T-72s to accurate Ukrainian fire from the 72nd Mechanized Brigade immediately after assaulting east from Mykilske. https://t.co/CbGLRfVXbP pic.twitter.com/L7bHzA9oLC — OSINTtechnical (@Osinttechnical) November 3, 2023

It is literally a dumpster fire of an offensive.

This is what happens when decisions to attack are based on political needs instead of military strategy.

Not entirely certain how to count this one, there are multiple pile ups of burning Russian armor. pic.twitter.com/v1OvcFmx2D — OSINTtechnical (@Osinttechnical) November 3, 2023

An update on the Ukrainian push across the Dnipro River near Kherson.

➡️RU sources report that Krynky is still mostly AFU controlled.

➡️A Ukrainian attack west towards Kozachi Laheri was repelled.

That’s a shame about their vehicles. Yep, a damn shame.

x Presumably Kherson region.



The video from the Russian Armed Forces is unique in that they claim that their location was attacked at night by a swarm of FPV drones.

Can’t be much of an electronic warfare system if three drones took it out, unless, of course, everyone was drunk and passed out at the time.

Chaplinka is in occupied Kherson Oblast.

That’s pretty rich of Russia to accuse anybody else of war crimes. But as I say below, irony died in Russia a long time ago.

They went on to describe the attack as "a blatant war crime of the Kyiv regime" which is code for "something important got hit." I also do not believe this is the only site that got hit. It is just the one they want to show right now.

x Russian Sources:



6 x HIMARS missiles were launched at Chaplinka striking a government building there. The first image shows them pulling a dead person from the rubble which they claim is a dead civilian woman. Not too sure about that.

Drone operators killed by a drone. It’s like a sniper taken out by an enemy sniper.

x Magyar's Birds tells about the destruction of two experienced Russian "Upyr" FPV drone operators who were causing a lot of trouble to the Ukrainian forces trying to cross the Dnieper. They were killed with an FPV drone. Confirmation of this emerged on Russian channels.… pic.twitter.com/ygbnkTh8u8 — Dmitri (@wartranslated) November 3, 2023

It never ceases to amaze me how many Russians think that the way to solve their grievances is to make a video plea to the authorities. Do they think their government actually gives a shit about them? Does this actually work sometimes?

x Relatives of Russian mobilised men from the 108th Air Assault Brigade demanding their men be sent on leave. "This is not an ask to look into this mess, it's a cry from our souls". But for some reason, Putin's not listening.https://t.co/81YRWz2R7t pic.twitter.com/JqTh9tHbOp — Dmitri (@wartranslated) November 3, 2023

Irony died in Russia a long time ago.

"It’s funny to hear from the representative of #Russia moralizing to Israel about human rights and international law. The representative of country that was expelled from the #UNHR Council talks about morality. Russia the last one who will teach us. Everyone understands how Russia would react if thousands of its citizens were killed and kidnapped by a terrorist organization. Russia is using the Hamas attack in the most perverted way possible and only to distract the world’s attention from the invasion of Ukraine," said Gilad Erdan.

x "Russia is the last one who will teach us"#Israel's UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan responded to the Russian #UN Permanent Representative Nebenzya, who said Israel has no right to self-defense - because it is an "occupying state"

Russia is just trying to destroy as much of Ukraine as they can.

The strikes in Kharkiv targeted a sewing workshop, an auto service center, an administrative building, and a residential house.

x The aftermath of the russians’ drone strikes on Kharkiv. An historic college building has been destroyed. Thankfully, there were no casualties, as no one was inside during the night.

TBH, Russia has been destabilizing Moldova for 30 years by occupying Transnistria.

The way to end this is to expel the Russian Army from Transnistria.

Ummm … you guys might want to duck.

Good thing we missed. I might have gotten in trouble.

Life in occupied Melitopol.

x I posted a while back about Yana Suvorova's kidnapping by the FSB in occupied Melitopol. ruzZians accuse her of passing intel on the region to a "virtual boyfriend". As it was usual in the Soviet Union, she was forced to admit her "crime".
