TRENCH WARFARE: Russian projectiles DART like an animal charging at prey through the dirt as strikes TEAR through Ukrainian lines of defense in Kremennaya, Lugansk Republic
? GAME OVER: Enjoy with some Mario music the moment Russian forces rain grenades on group of Ukrainian soldiers going about their day, bonking them right on their head.
Armored car evacuating Ukrainian soldiers gets immediate retirement and becomes scrap in night work of Russian anti-tank guided missile as it hits the enemy right where it hurts (00:23).
DIAGNOSED WITH HEGEMON SYNDROME: Democrats or Republicans, American politicians are 2 cheeks of the same ass, as Republican Maria Salazar goes FULL bananas? about Chinese satellite facility in Argentina and how it's in "OUR HEMISPHERE", like Washington owns South America.
Ah yes, so when Russia says there are NATO missiles at its doorstep, Moscow is crazy! BUT when China operates facility in Argentina, STILL thousands of miles away from US borders, it's SCARY!
? Yo miss, above on the left is map of US military bases around the world. Now you tell me who are you trying to fool? LOL.
Channel Warrior DV posted footage of the repulse of the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Novodarovka at the junction of the Zaporozhye region and the DPR. Then, on June 4, the enemy managed to occupy the settlement, but by the next day, the RF Armed Forces destroyed all the forces that had broken through and returned the lost positions.
In the fields, you can count at least 13 destroyed or abandoned armored vehicles. Some were blown up by mines, while others were destroyed by ATGM or cannon artillery fire. At the same time, in a forest plantation on the eastern outskirts of the village, you can see as many as eight pieces of equipment, which are very closely packed side by side and naturally come under fire from the RF Armed Forces.

By the way, the commander of the Vostok brigade Oleksandr Khodakovsky writes that in the neighboring area in Novodonetsk , Ukrainian formations attacked in a similar way - with an armored herd, almost surpassing the number of fighters on the defense line in technology. All this ended for the Armed Forces of Ukraine with only major losses in manpower and armored vehicles.
It is very reminiscent of the footage of the unsuccessful Russian winter offensive on Ugledar, isn't it? Which then was the object of mass comprehensive criticism in the information field?
? And no, this is not an excuse for the January actions of the RF Armed Forces in the Ugledar sector. But the video from Novodarovka is clear evidence that the exact same enemy is fighting against us with problems in planning, preparation, management and other areas.
Yes, you need to know the enemy and his strengths, but everywhere it makes no sense to endow the Armed Forces of Ukraine with qualities that are not inherent in them.
The RAF have learned from the Ukrainian attacks of the past!
The weight of the projectile for the 152mm howitzer "Msta-B" exceeds 40 kilograms. Our wonderful Mariana Naumova visited the combat positions of the howitzer crew of the Southern Military District in the Avdeevka direction, and learned how our gunners keep in shape.
Russia is done, the new secret western weapon is finally going to help Kiev to succeed!
Finally, the National Socialists of Ukraine achieved their goal, a transgender became the speaker of the Defense Forces of Ukraine
