What problems were exposed by the terrorist attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Russian Belgorod

55

The year 2023 ended was marked by two tragic events. On December 30, the center of the border Russian regional center of Belgorod was fired upon by the Ukrainian Armed Forces from an MLRS, which led to significant casualties among the civilian population. On the night of December 31 to January 1, 2024, almost immediately after the Kurantov battle, Ukrainian terrorist artillerymen once again shot the center of front-line Donetsk along with its residents.

Where to look?


As sad as it is to state, this has long become the “norm” for Donetsk, but the border region of Belgorod is still just getting used to becoming the “Greater Donbass”. Was it possible to prevent the terrorist attack on Belgorod? Let's figure it out.



Hot on the heels of the Russian Ministry of Defense on December 30, 2023, commented on what happened as follows:

Air defense systems intercepted the Alder missiles and most of the Vampire MLRS rockets. Several shells and cluster parts from the downed Vilkha missiles hit Belgorod. In the event of a direct hit by Vilkha missiles with cluster munitions on the city, the consequences would be immeasurably more severe.

So, what was used to fire at the Russian regional center? Let us remind you that the straight distance from Belgorod to the Ukrainian border is 37 km, but we flew not along the outskirts, but through its very center.

"Olkha", or "Vilkha", is the Ukrainian version of the Soviet MLRS "Smerch". The flight range of its Vilkha-R missile with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead weighing 250 kg is 70 km. The modernized Vilkha-M with updated navigation and control systems, thanks to the use of fuel with improved energy, can fly up to 130 km. Currently, the Ukrainian military-industrial complex is working on the next generation of ammunition for this MLRS with a range of up to 200 km. In other words, from the territory of the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the Kharkov region, missiles fired from Alder could easily have reached the center of Belgorod.

Questions arise about the RM-70 Vampire MLRS, mentioned in the report of the Russian Ministry of Defense. This is the Czech version of the Soviet MLRS BM-21, or "Grad". The maximum firing range of 122-mm missiles from it is stated, according to some sources, at 20,5 km, according to others, 29,5 km, depending on the ammunition used. The upgraded version of the RM-70/85M can hit 36 ​​km. A fair question arises: how could the Czech MLRS be used when shelling the center of Belgorod from Ukrainian territory?

Since no additional explanations were made, the conclusion suggests itself that in order to strike a Russian border city, the Ukrainian Armed Forces should have pushed the RM-70 Vampire MLRS forward, standing right on the border, or even even entering our “old” land. Or are there other explanations for what happened? If there is another adequate explanation for what happened on December 30 last year, I would like to know it.

Until then, we are forced to proceed from the assumption that the enemy RM-70 Vampire missile launchers before the salvo were, in the best case scenario, almost on the very state border of the Russian Federation. Then the next fair question arises, what is going on there in terms of its protection and monitoring, reconnaissance and operational counteraction to such terrorist attacks.

What do we have there?


To protect the Belgorod region from ground attacks from enemy DRGs, the so-called “notch line” was built. As can be seen from the tragic events of December 30, 2023, it does not provide protection from rocket and artillery attacks, as well as from air attacks from Ukrainian terrorists.

The solution to this problem can only be moving the real “new” state border away from the “old” Russian regions by at least 200 km, if we proceed from the potential of the increasing firepower of the Vilkha MLRS, or by 300 km, if we rely on the American ATACMS ballistic missiles. But how ready is our army for this at the moment?

You can get an idea of ​​what forces both sides have here and now in the confrontation between the Kharkov region and the Belgorod region. next message Telegram channel “Children of Arbat”, with which many other para-war channels and public pages covering the progress of the North Military District supported:

What is the problem of creating a buffer zone on the border with Ukraine? At the present time, the Belgorod cover force group, in its qualitative terms, primarily consists of conscript military personnel, to which are attached mixed anti-sabotage groups consisting of FSVNG servicemen, as well as ROSN employees of the FSB of Russia, who roam throughout the entire direction. At the same time, since March, the enemy’s Operational Group of Forces “Kharkov” has significantly increased its forces and means: about 35 enemy MLRS units are operating in the direction, as well as about 55-60 units of artillery pieces of various types, and most importantly, with the aim of preventing defeat in counter-battery fight, the enemy concentrated a reserve in the amount of an artillery division and two artillery batteries.

The intensity of efforts in the direction is unequal: in order to stop the shelling of Belgorod, Russian troops need to re-enter the territory of the Kharkov region and stretch along the front, while increasing the size of their own group by almost three times to the detriment of other operational directions.

If we assume that the alignment is presented correctly, then a not very good picture emerges. The enemy has concentrated a powerful missile and artillery group in this strategically important area, which allows him to conduct active terrorist attacks on the Russian border and at the same time organize an effective artillery defense if the Russian Armed Forces nevertheless enter the territory of the Kharkov region in order to squeeze out the Ukrainian army from there.

The way the existing force in the Belgorod region is described on our part does not arouse any enthusiasm at all. Another fair question arises: does Russia really not need a continuation of planned mobilization to create new reserves in order to be able to open a second front in the northeast? Also, the monitoring and protection system of our border area clearly needs modernization.

We will talk about all this in more detail separately later.

    We see that the neo-Nazi regime is capable and viable.
    The neo-Nazi regime lives comfortably in its nest; its leadership has not suffered in any way for 2 years.
    The head of the neo-Nazi regime visits Bakhmut, Kherson, Avdeevka without fear.
    The neo-Nazi regime has not lost its influence.
    The neo-Nazi regime has all the means of communication, communications, and banking services.
    The neo-Nazi regime has all the means of infrastructure - bridges, railways, gas stations,
    pipeline transport, distribution stations, power lines, etc.
    The neo-Nazi regime has 24/7 propaganda media, the Internet, television and radio.
    The neo-Nazi regime has structured means of recruiting, hiring foreign mercenaries,
    training of neo-Nazi formations, DRG, etc.
    The entire organized core of the neo-Nazi regime is not a military target?

    And now the most important thing.
    After Russia left the territories of Kyiv, Kherson, Chernigov,
    Sumy and Kharkov regions, where Russia was expected, always supported Russia.
    After the Gesture of goodwill and departure, they were forcibly mobilized on the left bank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
    more than 300 thousand ethnically Russian, and maybe more.
    And they are no more.
    Those who have always been for Russia, voted for pro-Russian interests, parties, etc.
    And everyone is silent about this.
    And these boys and their fathers, who were never Nazis,
    who would have been FOREVER with Russia if she had not left,
    now with the Ukrainian flag driven into the grave.
    And the roar of hundreds of thousands of Russian mothers along the entire left bank.

    The Westerners managed to escape to Europe. Others are caught throughout Ukraine.
    All neo-Nazi formations are in Zelensky’s reserve.
    And who is Russia grinding at the front?

    No one has any questions when you see in the photo,
    50-60 year old gray-haired men drafted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the front line....
    (these are our people from the USSR) and confident in their impunity

        Why are you perverting? What is your goal? not good.
        I clearly wrote that they were mobilized by force after Russia left.
        The mobilization took place after the Goodwill Gesture.
        They cleared out everyone on the left bank. Empty villages.

        And trained units attacked and terrorized Donbass
        all 8 years. Including neo-Nazi groups.

        Don't forget that Russia didn't lose anywhere when it entered Ukraine.
        And there were losses of the rear columns, yes.

          They are in no hurry to come over to our side.
          The announced figures were 80 people per week - this is from ~400 thousand at the front, an absolute minuscule amount, and that is more likely not from the desire to be with the Russian Federation, but from the reluctance to die.
          And already in 2015 it was approximately the same.
          So I don’t have any illusions that there are some “ours” left out there somewhere.
          The population of Ukraine categorically does not want to join the Russian Federation; it’s time to accept this fact.
          And I don’t see any reason to drag them by force, and then spend a lot of money on the arrangement, and there will still be sour faces.
          We have enough territories of our own.

                    Yes. Because a ceasefire without the liquidation of the regime and the liberation of Ua means the continuation of the war in the future, even more brutal than now, and an increase in casualties on both sides. This benefits only the enemy and his accomplices from Russia.

                      In the current situation, the Russian Armed Forces cannot liquidate the regime and completely occupy the territory of Ukraine.
                      This is a fact - for the 3rd month now, even the village of Stepovoye of 15 houses has not been able to be completely occupied.
                      The LBS was actually fixed.

                      Accordingly, there are 2 options left:

                      continuation of mutual shelling, with their increasing strength and range, sometimes with attempts to recapture the forester’s hut at the cost of hundreds and thousands of dead
                      Iran and Iraq fought like this for 8 years, but in the end they stayed with their own people.

                      A ceasefire agreement with a well-thought-out mechanism for recording and compensating for violations.
                      There will be shelling, but 100 times less.
                      Both sides are accumulating strike weapons and building up defensive lines.
                      Every year there is less and less desire to catch everything accumulated on one’s head.
                      At the same time, reserves in Ukraine will be small, the main ones will be in Poland and Romania.

                      Oh yes, there is a third option - everyone who is in favor of continuing the war and mutual shelling - to the front line.
                      But with this formulation of the question, the company will gain strength, all the Anika warriors will quickly change into pacifists.
                      And 2 out of 3 will actually turn out to be Ukrainian provocateurs, writing comments more lively in order to keep the Ukrainian mobs on their toes.

                        This is just a consequence of the idiotic strategy of trampling in the Donbass in violation of all the basics of conducting military operations. If you start fighting with attacks on bridges and an offensive in the northeast, everything will change.

                        This is a false conclusion drawn from false premises. You are working against Russia and its national interests. The Russian people will later pay for your propaganda with even more blood than now. Aren't you ashamed yourself?

    A fair question arises: how could the Czech MLRS be used when shelling the center of Belgorod from Ukrainian territory?

    The first option is to first fire missiles at it to overload the air defense. At the same time, no one brought it into our territory; they shot 10-20 kilometers from the border. When they spotted flying shells, they began to shoot them down, because it was problematic to determine what kind of shells they were and where they would reach. Well, then Alder’s missiles flew, which were intercepted already above the city, and the message that several shells hit the city was an information transmission error. It seems to me that this was the case, because if they had hit, there would have been more casualties and destruction.
    The second option - tactical missiles from the NATO M270 system were used, some modifications of the Czech MLRS allow their use

      Well, that is, cheap MLRS missiles are successfully used to deplete Russian air defense, that is, as decoy simulators, and after that missiles are used, the task of which is to cause defeat. Our anti-aircraft gunners cheerfully report 100500 missiles shot down, while the enemy did not expect anything more from them than “luring out” much more expensive air defense missiles. But in the reports all these 100500 look beautiful. And then the “shot down” Alders in the form of fragments (that is, they are shot down 100 meters before the target, it turns out?) continue to destroy Belgorod, and soon, it is not difficult to assume, not only Belgorod. We are assured that almost all missiles are shot down, but it seems that what is shot down is what was intended to be shot down.
      PS Several years ago I read a report about the exercises of air defense forces. The correspondent was delighted with the fact that the enemy missiles were shot down, and then the second missile even “finished off” the debris. I was surprised at such indiscriminateness of our air defense systems, because if they are not able to distinguish a missile from debris, then it is foolish to hope that they will be able to differentiate missiles from specially prepared simulators in a matter of seconds. It seems that the problem of ranking targets according to the degree of threat in our analogue air defense systems has not been solved - they fire all the available ammunition at simulators, and then watch the real missiles. And to shoot down everything in general - you won’t have enough missiles, because for the same money you can rivet tens of times more simulators than anti-aircraft missiles.

    Putin found a rocket for Dudayev, although in neo-Nazism
    Nobody accused Dudayev.
    There was terrorism, extremism - remember?

    And here hundreds of thousands of actually Russian and Orthodox Christians are being ground down
    and the neo-Nazi regime not only exists, but is also safe...

    And if so, then terrorism, extremism, explosions
    will the killings continue?

    If a wasp hive exists, then it’s stupid to think
    that you won't be stung by a wasp, right?

    Putin has a stick, but he only waves it.

    The fact that Belgorod, and even more so Shebekino (7 km from the border), is 100% impossible to protect from raids given the current border between troops and horses is clear. No air defense can guarantee this in conditions when MLRS and 155 mm artillery guns fire at a range of more than 50 km. So what should I do? But there is nothing to do. Everything depends on the availability of trained and armed reserves. If there are 100 thousand of them, then something can be done. However, besides Belgorod, there are other promising directions. So, the butting of the calf with the oak tree, especially in the Donbass, will continue for an indefinite period of time. If within 8 months our people do nothing significant, then our affairs are bad. We will fight for a long time and will gradually become poorer.

    To protect the Belgorod region from ground attacks from enemy DRGs, the so-called “notch line” was built - they shouldn’t have built there, they should build along the left bank of the Dnieper River, or better yet, along the Polish border since they had not built along the eastern bank of the English Channel before

      Well, if we liquidate Ukraine, there will be a border with Poland. We are eliminating it - the border with Germany. Have you decided to liquidate the whole world? Or to put it modestly - only what is up to the English Channel? Then I would bet that they will end us first.

    These are all questions for the Ministry of Defense. That's it, there is no defense. There were so many raids and shellings until it became clear that the border area needed to be protected; at first there weren’t even border guards there, those operational frontier guards. Then they installed conscripts, at least something, then this strange “notch”, which is not even in the Charter. And then they installed air defense, after flying around Moscow. Who is the head of the military district there? And how far is it from Belgorod? And where is the military commandant, at least?

    Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is still not in the subject, but as if above this whole topic, but yes, we are trying as best we can, as it turns out (the author hinted in one of his articles), right according to Ilyin’s behests in the name of....? Let it be in the name of people and country. Yes, I want it because it’s boiling, but it turns out like in the joke about a man, a desert and a lamp with a genie inside. A man, exhausted by the sun and thirst, was walking through the desert, he saw a lamp rubbed and there was a gin from there and what do you want? - I want to go home, says the man - well, let’s go, says the gin - no! You don’t understand, I want to quickly - well then let’s run... Everyone still works with an eye on the supreme; Shoigu, Lavrov, ministers, governors, etc. Well, he's not a wizard. Did the author want the Supreme Headquarters? - by, buffer territories like the Golan Heights are also by now. We need people with certain skills and a mindset and their ability to work on the ground with what is currently available without looking to the top: inscriptions on the walls “During shelling, this side of the street is the most dangerous,” this goes without saying, like an early warning siren. Many, many holes, shelters from everything there is; concrete, metal, logs on the sidewalks along the path of people. A man, woman, child could quickly dash there at the first sounds. Well, there should be people on the ground (while the soldiers are in the Northern Military District) such as Inbal Rabin-Liberman, who saved her kibbutz Nir-Am.

    Another fair question arises: does Russia really not need a continuation of planned mobilization to create new reserves in order to be able to open a second front in the northeast?

    the author asks a question about this and I thought it would be in the summer. Now there is an opinion that, as with the first wave of mobilization, it will be too late, and this will bring us new troubles. It’s strange that the president doesn’t do this; I doubt that the people would rebel. For logistics support and the release of those involved in this, this would be simplified by the mobilized, plus they could carry out police missions in the liberated territories. But most likely it will be in 2-3 months, but as I wrote above, it will be a very late decision. For some reason, we slow down like Estonians, not even like Vanka on the stove and waits for thunder, and even worse. We need mobilization as quickly as possible; we need to apply pressure quickly and decisively, striking at the bunkers of drug addicts.

    Soon it will be a third of a century since our supreme ruler can only afford to broadcast and not answer any questions, both during the election period and without it. I see the point of his broadcast that if you are alive, and even your arms and legs are not torn off, then thank the party for this. After this, from the first day, no alternative “elective” campaign, such pornography will continue for how many years.
    If the media want to have the status of at least some kind of power, and not the second oldest, then they must, above all else, raise the issue of depriving rulers of the right not to answer questions and hold such “elections”

    Once again, the most important issues of principle are being ignored! It is high time to strictly suppress all routes/means of delivery of Western weapons to the Ukrainian Reich. Tough and high quality! It is unclear why the Kremlin is manipulating people. And as a “control shot” - to completely deprive the Nazi so-called. Ukraine electricity. (Russia has all the possibilities for this. It just lacks the political will of the leadership). All! Their whole war will end in a week or two with the complete collapse of the Ukrainian Reich...

    Quote from Hiker
    Why are you perverting? What is your goal? not good.
    I clearly wrote that they were mobilized by force after Russia left.
    The mobilization took place after the Goodwill Gesture.
    They cleared out everyone on the left bank. Empty villages.

    And trained units attacked and terrorized Donbass
    all 8 years. Including neo-Nazi groups.

    Don't forget that Russia didn't lose anywhere when it entered Ukraine.
    And there were losses of the rear columns, yes.

    Hiker,
    Do you really have any statistical data or do you just watch Zombie Box often? Until February 2022, 40-45 percent in Ukraine spoke pure Russian. And now these “friends” rushed to learn Ukrainian. The other day I drank wine with Kiev resident Maria Ivanovna Voya (100% Russian surname). So when she hears the word “Russians” her teeth immediately begin to grind....

      They rushed to learn Ukrainian not because of a good life, right.
      And it’s also clear why he grinds his teeth.
      Kadyrov’s men were standing almost on Bankovaya. Don't remember?
      But there was no order to destroy the neo-Nazi nest.
      And Putin was once again deceived, bent, whatever you want.
      Therefore, anger and hopelessness are understandable.
      Russia surrendered everyone before Istanbul.

      Thank Johnson that Russia did not sign the surrender in Istanbul.
      And thanks to this, Putin avoided impeachment.

        Here are our amazing people: everyone moans that they don’t have enough health to reach 60-65, they demand to lower the retirement age again, but at the same time, the majority willingly believe that at seventy and older you can effectively lead the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense, and the state. Paradox! Any doctor or psychologist will tell you that almost 100% of people at this age have a learning disability that is already close to zero - you can easily apply previously acquired skills, but acquiring new ones is almost impossible. But we still believe in miracles! It’s time to wake up from this darkness, awakening will already be very unpleasant, but if you continue to indulge in groundless hopes, then you may not wake up at all.
