Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
Apparently Joe Biden has told Zelenskyy that Ukraine will get a small number of ATACMS. Source is MSNBC so take with a dump truck of salt. Over the last couple of months I've seen reports confirming they're getting them and others saying they're not.   From Wikipedia: 'The MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) (pronounced /əˈtækəms/) is a tactical ballistic missile manufactured by the US defense company Lockheed Martin. It has a range of up to 190 miles (300 km),[8] with solid propellant, and is 13 feet (4.0 m) high and 24 inches (610 mm) in diameter. The ATACMS can be fired from the tracked M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), and the wheeled M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). An ATACMS launch container has a lid patterned with six circles like a standard MLRS rocket lid, but contains only one missile – the identical pattern makes it more challenging for enemy intelligence to single it out as a high-value target."    Video is for reference of what MGM-140 ATACMS can do. #atacms

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
No idea if this is true or not. Haven't done anything more than a quick search. I found a meme about it before I saw the article. Source: https://www.sandboxx.us/news/russias...nst-fleets-hq/ RUSSIA’S BLACK SEA COMMANDER ALLEGED DEAD AFTER STRIKE AGAINST FLEET’S HQ BY CONSTANTINE ATLAMAZOGLOU SEPTEMBER 22, 2023  Russian Admiral Viktor Sokolov, the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, has been killed following a missile strike against the fleet’s headquarters in Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukrainian authorities allege according to foreign policy analyst Jessica Berlin, who has been covering the war in Ukraine. There has been no official confirmation from Ukraine or Russia yet. If confirmed, Adrmial Sokolov will be the highest-profile Russian officer killed in the war so far. The missile strike took place earlier on Friday. According to eyewitness videos, the headquarters appears to have been struck by multiple Storm Shadow missiles. [There was info and video here about the strike that I'm not including. See the article itself] Admiral Sokolov took command of the Black Sea Fleet in August 2022, six months into Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine. He replaced Admiral Osipov reportedly due to a series of setbacks the fleet had suffered, most prominently the sinking of the cruiser Moskva, the fleet’s flagship. Moskva was sunk by Ukrainian anti-ship missiles in April 2022 leading to the deaths of hundreds of sailors. During Sokolov’s tenure, the fleet’s vessels have targeted civilian infrastructure causing civilian casualties. Russia’s Black Fleet is headquartered in the Crimean Peninsula, which has been occupied by Russia since 2014. Kyiv has repeatedly voiced its desire to liberate Crimea. Ukraine has been stepping up its attacks against the Black Sea Fleet. Last week, it managed to take out a Russian Kilo-class submarine and a Ropucha-class landing ship while they were stationed at Sevastopol’s drydocks, which were also damaged in that attack. Ukraine had been degrading Russian anti-air defenses for weeks in preparation for that attack. Ukraine has also launched a number of maritime drone attacks against the fleet’s vessels in the Black Sea. Russia has moved part of the fleet from Sevastopol in order to protect it. The Storm Shadow is a British-French long-range missile with a range of about 155 miles making it able to hit Russian targets well behind the conflict’s frontlines. In May, the U.K. confirmed that it had supplied a number of these missiles to Ukraine. The missiles will give Ukraine “the best chance” to defend itself against Russia, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace had said at the time. Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to mention the reported reason for Sokolov taking over the Black Sea Fleet’s command in August 2022.  #highprofile #crimea #occupiedterritory

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
GUR does not confirm it for now. Let's hope that this is true, but expect that may not be true.  |

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
Most of the desert camo equipment that goes into Ukraine gets repainted by the AFU to a digital camo or plain army green. I think I've seen the HMMWV humvees stay in desert camo but that is rare. Tanks pictured may not be ones that originally had desert camo, just showing the common digital camo.

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
 "Generals are among the wounded in Sevastopol in serious condition. Budanov spoke about the attack on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, said that several Russian generals are in serious condition, but did not confirm the reports of the alleged death of the commander of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, Admiral Viktor Sokolov. As a result of Ukraine's attack on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, at least 9 people were killed and 16 were injured. Among them are Russian generals. "Among the wounded is the commander of the group, Colonel-General (Olexandr) Romanchuk, in a very serious condition. The Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General (Oleg) Tsekov, is unconscious. The number of casual military servicemen who are not employees of the headquarters is still being determined. These are military personnel who are on duty, security, and so on — they are not included in the list that I announced to you," Kyrylo Budanov told Voice of America. Oleksandr Romanchuk is the commander of a group of Russian forces in the Zaporozhye region, and was promoted to the rank of colonel-general in 2023. Lieutenant-General Oleg Tsekov is the commander of the 200 OMSBR Coastal Forces of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy." AND "Allegedly, among the wounded are the commander of the Russian Armed Forces group in the Zaporozhye direction in June 2023, Colonel General Alexander Romanchuk (pictured on the left) and the deputy head of the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, General Oleg Tsekov (pictured on the right). The Russian Ministry of Armor stated that as a result of the attack, one serviceman went missing, without giving his full name."

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
"According to The Washington Post, the Biden administration intends to transfer ATACMS to Ukraine equipped with cluster bombs, rather than a single warhead. The cassette system with a range of up to 300 km will allow Ukraine to strike command posts, ammunition depots and logistics routes far behind the front line. Ukraine has requested hundreds of missiles. Missiles with a so-called “unitary” warhead will not be available yet, but you can count on missiles with “cassette” filling, which are stored in large quantities in US warehouses. According to US Army data from 2022, the various cluster-weapon versions of ATACMS contain between 300 and 950 individual bombs."

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
"The defense forces broke through the defense of the Russian troops in Verbovo, Zaporizhzhia region, - the commander of the operational and strategic group of troops "Tavria" Tarnavskyi in an interview with CNN. "On the left flank, we have a breakthrough and we continue to advance." The left flank is Verbove."  "The biggest breakthrough in the counteroffensive will happen after Tokmak, — the commander of the "Tavria" OSUV Tarnavskyi Now the Russians rely on the depth of their defense line there. For the ZSU, Tokmak is a minimum goal. And then the goal is to reach our state borders. Oleksandr Tarnavskyi told CNN about this and added that winter will not stop our offensive."  "Attacks on the Crimean bridge will continue regularly, - Budanov"

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
"Representatives of Great Britain conducted secret negotiations with Russia against the background of the war in Ukraine , - British media For the past 18 months, British officials have held secret meetings with representatives of the Kremlin on global security issues amid the war, - Sky News with reference to The i, a supplement to The Independent newspaper. "We maintain contact and believe that it is very important to maintain an open dialogue during the war in Ukraine. We are in no way dividing parts of the country, we are not making peace agreements on behalf of anyone, but it is vital to keep this line of contact open," said a senior British diplomat who participated in some of these meetings."  "The USA has appointed the inspector general of the Pentagon, Robert Storch, over the funds allocated to Ukraine, the official website of the US Government. He will start work on October 18. Storch will work with the US State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to oversee the $113 billion in aid that has been sent to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion."
