Putin’s Disaster: The Russian Military Is Destroying Itself In Ukraine

Welcome to the TDTV Global Channel. Like and subscribe to support us. Russian military beset by alcohol-related deaths. The Russian military continues to suffer casualties in Ukraine, but not every death comes from Ukrainian hands. Indeed, the Russian forces are losing men from crime and alcohol. The British military intelligence has assessed that a significant minority of Russian casualties in Ukraine have been caused due to non-combat causes. Non-combat deaths are normal on a battlefield, but Russian telegram news channels report extremely high numbers of deaths linked to alcohol consumption and crime. Other leading causes of non-combat casualties likely include poor weapon-handling drills, road traffic accidents and climatic injuries such as hypothermia. Russian commanders likely identify pervasive alcohol abuse as particularly detrimental to combat effectiveness, the British military intelligence assessed in its latest estimate on the war. Although completely foreign to Western professional military forces, alcohol consumption is an integral part of Russian culture, especially Russian military culture. The British military intelligence added, however, with heavy drinking pervasive across much of Russian society, it has long been seen as a tacitly accepted part of military life even on combat operations. Interestingly, the British military intelligence assessed that the Russian forces have lost up to 200,000 troops and didn't corroborate the U.S. intelligence figure of more than 220,000 Russians killed or wounded. It is additionally perplexing because British Defense Minister Ben Wallace was the one who cited the U.S. intelligence figures earlier in the week. Russia destroys Ukrainian Krabhauser with kamikaze drone. A Ukrainian KRAB 155mm artillery system and a resupply truck were destroyed by a Russian kamikaze drone type, the Lancet. The footage released by the Ukraine Weapons Tracker allegedly shows a kamikaze drone swooping in and striking multiple targets, including KRAB 155mm self-propelled howitzer. Russian loitering munitions, like the Lancet drones, have been a nightmare for Ukrainian troops. Reportedly, the 26-pound Lancet drones built by Zolot Kalashnikov have performed hundreds of precision strikes, according to open-source intelligence OSINT, Group Oryx. The kamikaze drone loiters above the operational arena locates and tracks the enemy, investigates possible targets to help to select the high-value ones, chooses the right timing, direction, and angle of attack, and then performs a precise strike. The Lancet has a cylindrical fuselage with two sets of X-shaped flight control surfaces that tuck inwards for storage. It has an electrically powered two-blade pusher-propeller on its tail and sensor unit in its nose. The missile-like drone is hurled into the air by a simple ground-based catapult system and can cruise at 50 to 68 miles per hour. According to Russian media, the new drone cruises at about 120 km slash h dot the maximum range is claimed to be 40 kilometers, and targets are usually located with a reconnaissance drone before a Lancet is launched. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian military has still not found an effective means of countering Russian kamikaze drones other than metal mesh traps, with which they cover their vehicles and shelters. The Ukrainian military struck the invader positions at the AZOM plant in Bakhmut. Ukrainian forces struck the position of the invaders at the AZOM plant in Bakhmut. Journalist Andriy Tsaplyenko published footage capturing the powerful explosion. The video features the military commenting on the explosion and saying that it was a Tochkiu tactical ballistic missile strike. The footage from the drone recorded a hit in one of the premises of the AZOM nonferrous metal processing plant. The military discussed the use of another missile and noted that a large number of invaders were on the enterprise's premises. Wherever you hit there, it will be fine, one of the soldiers said. We should also note that the explosion might be a planned detonation of the premises taken by the enemy. Information that mercenaries of Wagner PMC were stationed on the territory of the AZOM plant appeared at the end of March. This data is also confirmed by the materials of the Russian media that published footage from the territory of the plant. Therefore, it is likely that the Ukrainian forces struck the location of the enemy's forces. The enemy has so far released no information about losses of personnel and equipment. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that enemy troops continue storming the city of Bakhmut and are trying to take it under complete control. During the past day, the Ukrainian military repelled enemy attacks in the area of Bodnivka and Pretekhine. Russian military destroyed Ukrainian stronghold with one TOS-1A Solntsepiak salvo. The latter created rather big problems for the advancement of Russian troops in the western direction, since in open areas, attacks on the Russian military could be delivered from a stronghold. However, the Russian army deployed the TOS-1A Solntsepiak heavy flamethrower system and in just a few seconds destroyed a large defended stronghold of the Ukrainian army. On the video footage, you can see how multiple strikes are inflicted on the positions of the Ukrainian military using thermobaric munitions. The latter not only inflict devastating blows on the positions of the Ukrainian army, but also literally survived the fortifications. At the moment, it is known that the video footage was filmed in the Svatovsky direction, where serious battles are still ongoing. At the same time, the video clearly demonstrates the capabilities of Russian heavy flamethrower systems, which in some cases are simply irreplaceable. TOS-1A Solntsepiak is a reactive fire support system developed in Russia. It is used to destroy areas and fortifications of the enemy and can cause devastating damage in areas up to 40 square meters. The system consists of a combat vehicle, which is equipped with a 0-0-0 barrel rocket salvo flamethrower and an automobile chassis for transportation. The TOS-24A can fire various types of missiles with various warheads, including thermobaric munitions, capable of creating an explosion effect over a large area and hitting hidden anti-tank fortifications. Fragments of a Kruz anti-radar missile X-31 fell in Tavriisk. Fragments of a Kruz anti-radar missile X-31 were found on the left bank of the Kursan region. The fragments of the rocket, and we are talking about the tail section, were discovered by the Russian military. That Tavriisk is controlled by the Russian military and therefore the discovery of rocket debris here, about 6 kilometers from the nearest positions of the Ukrainian army, raised a number of questions. At the moment, it remains unknown whether the missile struck or self-destructed, for example, due to the loss of its target, however, such a large fragment definitely poses a serious danger. There are no official comments on this yet, however, on the video frames you can see that the Russian military is inspecting the discovered missile fragment. Judging by the holes in the body of this fragment, the rocket could well have been shot down, or the holes may be traces of the detonation of the warhead. The Kh-31 missile is a high-speed anti-ship and anti-radar missile with a control flight path developed in the USSR. It is capable of hitting sea and land targets at a distance of up to 250 kilometers using an inertial guidance system and an active radar head. The missile can be installed on various types of military aircraft, including fighters and bombers. Due to its high speed and maneuverability, the Kh-31 is one of the most effective anti-ship and anti-radar missiles in the world. Thank you for watching.
