ISW Update Sept 11

quote:

Key Takeaways:

Russian forces began counterattacks along the western edge of the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast and reportedly seized several settlements northeast and south of Korenevo on September 10 and 11.

Available visual evidence suggests that Russian forces counterattacking in Kursk Oblast are operating in company-sized units and may be using elements of more combat-experienced units to conduct counterattacks.

Russian forces may intend to temporarily bisect the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast before beginning a more organized and well-equipped effort to push Ukrainian forces out of Russian territory.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy arrived in Kyiv on September 11 and reiterated support for Ukraine but did not clarify current Western policy on Ukraine’s ability to strike military objects in Russia with Western-provided weapons.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) continues to promote its alternative peace plan for the war in Ukraine.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated his support for Ukraine on September 11.

Russian forces recently advanced southeast of Kupyansk, near Toretsk, and near Pokrovsk.

Ukrainian Kharkiv Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Vitaly Sarantsev reported on September 11 that Russian forces are replenishing their tactical, operational, and strategic reserves.

Russian occupation authorities illegally held regional elections in occupied Crimea on September 6 to 8 and likely fabricated increased voter turnout numbers to claim that residents broadly support Russia's illegal occupation of Crimea.

This factory facility makes so much stuff. For example, it makes the TOR-1 thermobaric launchers, and it refurbishes T-80 tanks.

I wonder if this is the work of sabotage teams introduced by Budanov.

For the first time a senior US military representative admitted what Kyiv had found out the hard way, on the battlefield: the M1A1 Abrams Tank is vulnerable to top attack.

What a disgrace Biden and Sullivan are. From the British paper The Times:

quote:

“The United States may allow Ukraine to use British and French missiles but not its own longer-range weapons inside Russia, according to two sources familiar with discussions that have taken place.”


This is just pathetic.

The Stormshadow/SCALP is more likely to get through compared to the ATACMS or the JASSM

The British and the French probably don’t have many left however

The French have an active production line, unlike the British, but it's unlikely to produce anything near what Ukraine needs to make a significant strategic difference.

President Putin on possible Kiev regime's strikes deep inside Russian territory using Western long-range weapons:

?? This WILL MEAN that NATO countries – the USA and European countries – are AT WAR with Russia.

LINK

quote:

In response to the question about strikes with long-range weapons on Russian territory, Putin stated that this would mean direct involvement of NATO countries in the war.
However, there is a nuance. Ukraine has already used long-range weapons from NATO countries multiple times against territories that Putin and his government officially consider to be Russian. Specifically, against targets in the annexed Crimea and the occupied regions of Ukraine: Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.

quote:

Trump's plan to end the war may include the creation of a "demilitarised zone" on the Ukrainian territories occupied by russia. Meanwhile, Ukraine would have to give up its NATO membership.

This was reported by US Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance.

wonder what the plan is for Ukraine occupied Russia

quote:

"The United States has already supplied Ukraine with scores of the long range ATACMS, but its stockpiles are running low. American officials are concerned they could not supply enough of those munitions to seriously damage a wide range of Russian targets.

Mr. Umerov’s counter — made during the Pentagon meeting, officials said — was that even if the ATACMS are not a game changer, they can still be used to good effect to hit Russian sites inside Russia and to disrupt Russian logistics."

Ukrainian farmers are actively reviving hemp growing after the legalisation of medical cannabis.

This was announced by the Director of the Department of Agricultural Development of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy Ihor Vishtak.

According to him, Ukraine has the best varieties of industrial hemp from around the world. Their cultivation helps to clean the soil and also affects the development of related industries.

quote:

Iran has told European ambassadors that it did not supply ballistic missiles to russia, — IRNA.

Tehran has summoned the ambassadors of the UK, France, Germany and the Netherlands to condemn their "destructive statements and actions" over allegations of missile transfers to russia.

Iran claims that these statements are "unfounded and false", and the country itself supports a "peaceful solution" to the war in Ukraine.

They weren't designed for fights with drones.

If this war turns hot between us and Russia, I demand that you warmongering LARPing pussies and your families go to the front lines to fight them. Y’all have been playing and expensing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian lives like they’re Monopoly money, so you will have no sympathy from me. Your families will get the same sympathy I have for the Ukrainians and Russians that have died in this conflict, but you’ve played around with these Eastern European lives with such sociopathy and carelessness that you all personally will get no sympathy from me.

Why is this Putin threat over escalation more worth melting over than the very long series of things that you melted over where nothing happened?

All I’m doing is demanding the same thing you demand of the Ukrainians. Seems a little heartless doesn’t it? Well that’s what you scumbags have been doing the past two and a half years and don’t value Ukrainian or Russian lives any more than any NPC in Age of Empires.

Yeah, it doesn’t happen until it fricking happens. And if it does happen, how do you think people like me are going to be judged? And then think how people like you are going to be judged.

If Russia invades Poland, then my position has always been that we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, but I haven’t seen any evidence that is going to happen unless we provoke it. You scumbags on the other hand have been actively flirting with nuclear annihilation. Once a nuke goes off, there’s no going back and the world is beyond the point of no return.
