The Ukrainian military command is completely wiped out

Russian forces have officially begun attacking the last line of defense of the Ukrainian forces in the Donetsk region, the twin cities of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. Russian air and space forces and drone units launched a sudden attack overnight.

FAB glide-guided bombs and Sirius long-range loitering missiles have been intensively striking, hitting the headquarters of the 156th Ukrainian Independent Brigade at least 40 times. Konotop in Sumy region was also attacked by air raids. Ten Khariton-2 long-range explosive drones attacked the base of the 92nd Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian forces.

Russian forces are fighting in the central part of the Donetsk region, in the city of Komsomolsk and Donets-Konstantinovka. Throughout the front line, the Ukrainian forces are being attacked by the Rubicon drone unit. This is the day of judgment for the Rubicon drone unit against the Ukrainian forces. The Rubicon drone unit is the most elite drone force of Russia, with 6,000 carefully selected drone experts.

The Rubicon drone unit uses heavy drones equipped with 15-kilometer fiber optic cables to precisely strike distant Ukrainian targets. The Rubicon drone unit mainly targets heavy weapons and vehicles on both sides of the urban areas. Once the supply lines of the Ukrainian forces are cut off and their heavy weapons are eliminated.

In fact, the Ukrainian defenders had to retreat. In the battlefield of Komsomolsk, Russian drones attacked tanks and armored vehicles, laid mines, transported weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies. The entire strategy is dazzling.

A few days ago, a Leopard 2A4 tank appeared in the city area of Komsomolsk, firing artillery at Russian positions. That tank has been discovered by Russian drones.

At the intersection of Central Street and Pushkin Street in Komsomolsk, the Russian forces located a Leopard 2A4 tank of the 155th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian forces. They launched multiple FPV drone attacks, hit the ammunition compartment of the Leopard 2A4 tank, causing it to explode. A terrifying drone tactic, where drones search and attack every day in the city, even the Leopard 2 tank cannot withstand it.

From August 2024 to now, one year, the Russian Rubicon drone unit has destroyed thousands of Ukrainian equipment, drones, and killed a large number of Ukrainian soldiers.

Russia's "Rubicon drone unit is methodically depriving the Ukrainian army of 'vision' and any chance of victory. The Ukrainian Air Force began to protect infantry counterattacks. A Polish version of the MiG-29 fighter jet carried French Hammer bombs to attack Russian ground positions. After completing its combat mission, this MiG-29 crashed while landing at the airport, and Major Sergey Bondar, 46 years old, died.

The Ukrainian Air Force's MiG-29 fighter jets have been exhausted. Currently, the majority of the MiG-29 fighter jets of NATO countries such as Poland, Slovakia, and Bulgaria have been given to Ukraine.

In the southern areas of Donetsk, the Russians are also launching an offensive, forming a huge pincer movement. Russian ground forces continue to launch assaults in the area west of Novoselka in the southern Donetsk region, deploying two armies at once. The 5th Army and the 36th Army launched continuous assault operations.

The spearhead unit of the Russian forces, the 5th Tank Brigade and the 336th Marine Brigade, are tearing open a narrow breakthrough in Vornoye village. Despite the Ukrainian forces deploying a company from the elite 225th Assault Regiment, continuously launching counterattacks, the Russian and Ukrainian forces repeatedly fought. Finally, the Russians controlled the key node of Vornoye village.

War is a confrontation of industrial strength

The Russian forces can't conduct large-scale annihilation battles mainly because it's too easy for satellites to detect the concentration of large forces. Therefore, the Russians mostly deploy multiple small combat units, using infantry mobile groups to mutually reconnoiter and intercept, then call in artillery and FPV drones for strikes.

Not being able to conduct large-scale annihilation battles, the war between Russia and Ukraine becomes a comparison of industrial strength. NATO Secretary General Luet said that Russia is rapidly becoming proficient in increasing the entire armed forces. The Russian military industry is producing weapons and ammunition at an astonishing speed.

Russia is producing 1,500 tanks, 3,000 armored vehicles, and hundreds of Iskander-M ballistic missiles. The West is also continuously increasing its military production capacity.

Russian satellite network reported that Germany's Rheinmetall is building the largest shell factory in the West, the shell factory in Lower-Lüse, Lower Saxony, Germany.

The first batch of shells has already started production, producing 25,000 shells this year, and 140,000 shells next year, maintaining an annual production capacity of 350,000 155 mm shells starting from 2027.

Russia can seize most of the four eastern Ukrainian regions, but to fully control Ukraine, it might be impossible to do so during Putin's era.

Because Kharkiv is the eye of the eastern Ukraine. Why did the Soviet and German armies fight fiercely around Kharkiv during World War II, rather than in places like Komsomolsk or Toretsk? Having Kharkiv means having the entire eastern Ukraine. The two failures of the Russian forces in Kyiv and Kharkiv directly led the war into a prolonged attrition battle.
