一周精彩回顧：烏瞄準俄防空系統 200個軍事設施將全被摧毀；末日將軍重返戰場 俄盟友援助19世紀武器；烏軍捷報：赫爾松收復失地；烏軍大規模襲擊克里米亞；俄本土遭大規模襲擊

The Eastern Front is in a critical situation, and Ukraine is using space to buy time. The Russian military is aiming at the Russian air defense system. 200 military facilities will all be destroyed. And the allies help the 19th century weapons. The end of the day, the general returns to the battlefield. Focusing on the dynamic battlefield, abandoning the geopolitics. Welcome to the New Cold War Situation. I'm Yu Tong. Today is May 1, 2024. The Russian-Ukrainian war has entered the 798th day. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Seirsky announced that the front line situation is deteriorating. Moscow's recent actions show that they are using the window period before the US new aid arrives in Ukraine. Fearlessly occupying Ukraine's territory and seizing strategic advantages. In the past week, the Russian army occupied six villages on the eastern front line of Ukraine. The Russian army was forced to retreat from three villages in Donetsk. There are also signs of Russian troops gathering in the second largest city of Ukraine, Kharkov. More than 40,000 Russian troops are preparing to launch an attack. Kharkov, northeast of Ukraine, is only three kilometers from the Russian border. There are about 1.3 million people in the front line. It has been attacked for the past few months. Ukraine says Russia deliberately made Kharkov uninhabitable. The British Financial Times said on April 29 that the attack on Kharkov was to weaken Ukraine's defense capabilities before major offensive. Recently, Russia has been using guided air bombs to attack Kharkov. On April 30, two people were killed and six injured. The head of the state, Vasily Gubov, pointed out that since the outbreak of the war, the Russian army has learned to effectively use troops to carry out offensive operations. Now the front line is often attacked by countless bombs. What is different from the past is that these bombs do not fall on a few key buildings, but on every so-called building of the Russian army, which may become a target. Due to the lack of anti-aircraft missiles, the Russian army is temporarily unable to effectively respond. In order to defend the Russian army's offensive, Ukraine is building anti-tank obstacles along the border between the south and the borders with Belgorod, Kursk and Buryansk regions. Ukrainian intelligence officials told Reuters that the Russian army is strengthening its air attack on the Ukrainian railway line, to prevent the United States from sending weapons to the front line. At present, the Russian army is short of troops and urgently needs ammunition. The US War Research Institute predicts that only well-equipped Ukrainian armed forces can defeat the Russian offensive. Therefore, the most urgent thing now is the delivery of troops. In the next few weeks, the Russian army is likely to have a large number of warships. The Russian army may also have a chance to advance around Avdivka and pose a threat to Chasov Yar. In the front line of Avdivka, Ukraine's 3rd assault brigade successfully wiped out more than 200 Russian officers and soldiers in the last two days. In one of the battles, the brigade's reconnaissance troops cooperated with the 2nd assault battalion officers and soldiers, killing 30 Russian soldiers without casualties. Ukrainian Army Commander Shirsky said, Avdivka is the most difficult area around the village. We know that after Avdivka was occupied by the Russian army, the Ukrainian army retreated to a new line of defense a few kilometers west of Avdivka. But this line of defense has now been occupied by the Russian army. On Sunday, the Ukrainian army withdrew from the Donetsk region of Bel'dikhev and Semenivka. The last two villages controlled by Ukraine were also lost. The Ukrainian command had to make a difficult choice. To keep the territory or to keep the soldiers? They chose the latter. The Russian army also used the gap in the Ukrainian position to break through the line of defense and quickly enter the village of Avdivka. This fact makes the situation more complicated. At present, it is not clear whether the Russian army has completely controlled this settlement point. It is possible that the Russian army will attack Kursk and Avdivka from the south. Ukraine also revealed that there are currently more than 25,000 Russian troops participating in the offensive against the strategic highland of Chasov Yar. The analysis pointed out that if the Chasov Yar is attacked, the Russian troops can take control of the hilltop and attack other important cities in eastern Ukraine. The occupied area will be directly threatened by the Kursk and Avdivka cities. This city is the main attack point of the Ukrainian army in the eastern part of the front line. At present, the Russian army has not yet entered the city. They chose to encircle the village of Ivanivsk and Bohdavnivka near the Chasov Yar in the suburbs. The Russian army wanted to use a forward attack to encircle this city and bypass the solid defense line. But the forward attack had been suppressed by the Ukrainian army. The Russian army had no choice but to retreat back to the starting position. The Russian army, which was forced to retreat, began to use heavy artillery and mortars, bombing the Chasov Yar. In this way, they hoped to break the psychological defense line of the Ukrainian army. In general, the situation in eastern Ukraine has improved, but it is still controlled by the Russian army. Military expert Sergei Kuzan believes that the next few weeks will be difficult for the Russian army. The degree to which the Russian army's attack can be achieved depends on the speed and strength of the Western aid. There is also an analysis that it is not yet clear whether the aid can reach the battlefield quickly enough to stop the Russian advance. Sergei Kuzan pointed out that we are still waiting for the goods delivered to Ukraine. It is expected that if the aid arrives in time, it can change the situation on the battlefield. But it must be in time. Ukrainian Defense Express military expert Valery Lyabikh said on April 29 that the Ukrainian military has listed 200 Crimea military bases, including all the air defense facilities used by the Russian army to cover the troops. These are all the goals that Ukraine wants to destroy. The plan is to destroy them all. Then, at dawn on April 30, the Russian army launched missiles and drones against Crimea. There were more than 10 explosions in the Crimea. It is reported that Ukraine launched long-range ATACMS Block I M-39 and M-39A1 missiles at the Russian Air Force Base in Yashinfei-Robor and Zayik. It also triggered a fire. The loss of personnel is not yet clear. Russian 31st Air Defense Force was also attacked by missiles in the Black Sea and Saki regions. Four Russian soldiers were injured. The outside world does not have much hope for the Russian anti-missile system, especially that the landing speed of the ATACMS is more than 3 miles per hour. This is a big trouble for the Russian army. The outside world believes that the Ukrainian army's ultimate goal is the Crimea Bridge. Recently, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Directorate Director Budanov has pointed out that the Crimea Bridge is the main goal of the Ukrainian army's next phase. Although this bridge is more closely guarded and protected, the Ukrainian army is still working hard. Recently, Ukrainian soldiers on the left bank of the Dnieper River have also called out to their compatriots in Crimea. We are coming back. What is the secret to destroying the Crimea Bridge? The head of the Ukrainian Security and Cooperation Center, Kuzan, said that in addition to breaking through the Russian air defense system, it is also necessary to understand the structural mechanics of the Crimea Bridge in depth. This bridge was designed to increase the effectiveness of anti-earthquake. Therefore, if you want to have an impact on it, you need to use a large number of explosive weapons and must hit the upper support part of the bridge accurately. It is worth noting that since April 25, the Ukrainian army has used ATACMS missiles many times for long-range strike. It seems to be systematically detecting the air defense system and radar position of the Crimea Bridge and destroying it. The purpose is to reduce its defense capability and pave the way for the next missile attack. Before May 10, we can pay attention to whether there will be big news in Crimea. Let's take a look at the news about Russia. A few days ago, President Rwanda of East Africa announced that it would provide Western weapons to Russia. However, the first batch of weapons sent to Russia turned out to be artillery from the French colonial period from 1897 to 1903, as well as a set of artillery, anti-personnel guns, and 10 tons of black gunpowder. The French newspaper also reported that a series of abnormal actions have recently occurred among Russian senior officials. It is said that Putin has not welcomed Shulovkin back to the Supreme Command, and has adjusted the core supporters of Shaoyi Group. Deputy Minister of Defense Ivanov and Fumin were sent to court. Previously, Shulovkin and the former owner of Wagner, Prygkin, have been accusing the Russian Defense Ministry of corruption, and eventually launched a military coup. How could Putin re-enact such a big thing? If the news is true, it is likely that Putin is very dependent on Shulovkin at the strategic level. Now Putin is preparing to take a major action, namely to open another battlefield in the north of Ukraine. Putin believes that only Shulovkin can help him win. Next, Shulovkin is likely to be appointed as the general commander of the Russian military in the north of Ukraine and as the deputy commander of the Russian warplanes to take the responsibility of taking the Harkov and even the Sumy states. Now there are four vehicle battalions that have arrived at the borders of the Sumy region, 150 to 200 kilometers away, and the situation is critical. It is necessary to know that Shulovkin is indeed a difficult opponent for Putin. Ukraine must be highly vigilant. However, will Shulovkin take advantage of this rare opportunity to avenge Prygkin and launch another coup? It's hard to say. OK, that's all for today's New Cold War. See you next time. Also on this day, Ukraine's intelligence agency in the Belgorod region of Krasnaya Polyana hit a Russian 48Y6 Polit-K1 radar The radar system is responsible for detecting target coordinates and then transmitting them to the S-300 and S-400 air defense systems. This is Ukraine's second consecutive attack on Russian territory. On April 27, a Ukrainian drone launched a large-scale attack near the Kursk-Chavuskaya airport in the Krasnodar frontier and destroyed a warehouse. The warehouse contained a UPMK set of missiles that were used to upgrade the A-bombs into precision-guided anti-aircraft missiles. The powerful anti-aircraft missiles made it possible for Russia to take over the city in one fell swoop. Avdivka was hit by these anti-aircraft missiles. In addition, satellite images show that several locations at the airport were attacked and several aircraft may have been damaged. The airport has Su-27, MiG-29 and L-39 aircraft. Back to the Ukrainian battlefield. On the Bakhmut front, the Ukrainian army repelled the Russian attack on Kursk-Chavuskaya and destroyed three armored vehicles and two infantry assault teams. In the past week, there has been no obvious change in the direction. It seems that the Ukrainian army has stabilized its situation. In addition, the Commander-in-Chief Shiltski said that the Ukrainian army has also improved the tactical position near the Shingivka and the Buryansk Forest. On the Avdivka front, the Russian army is still slowly but steadily advancing. Because of the heavy firepower, the Ukrainian army has now given up three villages on the front line. In recent days, the Russian army has changed its tactics. First, it used drones to scout, then sent small troops to constantly attack, which caused a lot of trouble for the Ukrainian army, so that the 47th brigade, which was supposed to be replaced, had to stay on the front line as much as possible to prevent the Russian army from advancing. General Shiltski admitted on Sunday that the Russian army was attacking along the entire front line, covering more than 1,000 kilometers. The Kursk-Chavuskaya army is facing difficult combat and strategic situations In addition, the lack of ammunition is still a problem for the Ukrainian army. However, the War Research Institute's analysis believes that this problem may be solved in the next few weeks. In the northern front line around the Kharkov recovery center, the Russian army is advancing along the road to Kupyansk, against Petro Pavlovsk town. On the Dnieper River front, in the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian army has repelled Russian attacks near Kerensky and recaptured Dnepropetrovsk. The deputy chief of staff of the Russian Central Military District, Yevgeny Lichinkov, was confirmed to have died in a missile attack on the Lugansk military headquarters on April 13. Yesterday, the Ukrainian army used the JDAM to hit the concentration points in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia, which is likely to be the latest arrival of U.S. troops. In addition, Russia has launched large-scale missile attacks on Ukrainian cities in a row. The Russians are really blinded. Even the amusement facilities are bombed. The latest news is that Russian missiles bombed the southern port city of Odessa. The Harry Potter castle was also destroyed. The castle's tower was burned down, 20 people were injured and 3 people died. But don't look at Russia's recent aggressive policy, but look at the latest issue of the American Foreign Affairs Magazine. The current U.S. historian Stephen Kotkin, discussed five possibilities for the future situation in Russia. 1. Become a democratic country with roots, bureaucracies and militaristic traditions like France, but no longer a threat to neighboring countries. 2. Internal difficulties such as population forced Russia to shrink its war line. 3. Become a rich country in China. 4. North Koreanization and high-pressure rule in China, isolated internationally, have nuclear weapons, rely on China, but also have the ability to return to China. 5. Internal chaos, part of the federation disintegrated. What do you think of Russia's historical direction? What kind of historical ending is it? Please leave a comment. According to the statistics of the Swedish Stockholm Peace Research Institute, China's market share in the international military trade market has not changed much in the past 10 years, but this seems very abnormal. Why? Because in the past 10 years, it has been the fastest development of Chinese military technology and the 10th largest increase in military strength. The warships are like dumplings, the aircraft carriers are also built, and the air force is also built. In this stage, Chinese military products should sell a lot. However, the fact is the opposite. According to statistics, China's market share in the international military trade market has only been increasing year after year, but the proportion of other countries' wars has continued to decline. This means that the export channels of Chinese weapons are getting narrower and the countries that export are getting more and more monotonous. And who is this cautious country? I'm sure many of our viewers have already guessed. Yes, it's the one that the CCP can't get his hands on, the third-rate country, Pakistan. The recent analysis of the Chinese military exhibition Sea Vanguard shows that Chinese weapons are becoming less and less popular in the world arms market. There may be three reasons for this. First of all, the expansion of world military technology is further intensifying. Many countries that used to have little market share in the military trade market are also beginning to get help from the United States. The weapon performance has greatly improved, expanding their own market share and squeezing the market that originally belonged to Russia and China. The most prominent of these is South Korea and Turkey. Since the weapons of these two countries use a lot of Western mature technology and the price is cheaper than Western weapons. Therefore, it is quite popular in the international military trade market. And the end-of-the-line weapon system that these countries sell a lot is exactly the original brawl of Chinese foreign trade weapons. Second, European countries are beginning to enter a large-scale update of advanced weapons. Many second-hand weapons are entering the international military trade market at a low price and also squeeze the market share of Chinese weapons. In the past, many countries liked to buy advanced weapons from European and American countries. For example, F-16 fighters, M1A2 main battle tanks, etc. However, there was not enough US dollars in the pocket, so they often could not afford European and American advanced weapons. They could only buy Chinese weapons with high performance but relatively cheap prices. But in recent years, the United States, Europe, etc. have eliminated a large number of F-16s, F-18s, EFs, etc. So some countries can buy advanced Western weapons For example, Egypt bought a large number of M1A2 main battle tanks, and Argentina bought two F-16s. In the face of these advanced European and American weapons, the weapons made by China are simply a bunch of broken garbage. Third, the article analyzes that military trade is closely related to the geopolitical strategy of the country. Many countries choose which side to buy weapons For example, Russian weapons are only more popular in countries such as India, Iran, Belarus, Venezuela, and Syria. American and European weapons are more popular in more countries and become the mainstream choice in the market. Of course, there is one more thing that the article did not say, or dare not say, that is, Russian-made weapons on the battlefield are so bad that even Russian weapons can't be sold. How can Chinese weapons, which are plagued with Russian weapons, be good? It's obvious that the domestic brainless little pink can do it. But the international weapon buyers are all professionals who know the trade. How can it be so easy to be fooled by your beautiful parameters? In fact, the performance gap between Chinese weapons is obvious. For example, in 2015, China and the Thai Air Force held a joint exercise called Sino-Thai Eagle 2015. In this exercise, two J-11 fighters and four Su-27 fighters were dispatched from China. The J-11A fighter was a copy of the imported Su-27, which was a copy of the imported Su-27, The J-11A has only won six battles in the Super Four Air Battles. The final confrontation result is that the battle loss ratio between China and Thailand is about 19 to 3, and two of the three aircraft lost in Thailand were hit by Chinese aircraft by mistake. The Chinese Air Force has also exposed a series of other problems, including tacit cooperation between the assaulter and the sweeper. The Chinese Air Force is difficult to deal with sweepers. In most cases, the sweepers hit the Chinese aircraft. In addition, the Chinese pilots are not deeply involved in the study of stealth missiles, and the stealth effect of different distances of missiles is not accurately judged. The fire control and weapon system performance are different from that of Thailand, and the source of battlefield information is limited, etc. The principle of the Taiwanese Air Force is based on the North Atlantic Treaty, and the tactical application is outstanding. The main focus is on the advantage of the multi-target attack in the medium and long range in the weapon equipment. The Taiwanese Air Force emphasizes that the first enemy attack should avoid close combat, and most of the time it uses high-altitude and medium-altitude configuration. In terms of tactical coordination, it pays more attention to practical effectiveness, and emphasizes information sharing and coordinated defense. In a word, the Chinese Air Force is usually very good at bragging, but it is extremely lacking in actual combat experience, and it shows its original form as soon as it hits hard. After this defeat, the Chinese Air Force sent a more advanced three-stage version of the J-10C with the Chinese Air Force's proud Air Police 500 anti-aircraft anti-aircraft fighter. In the end, the Chinese Air Force only won by a small margin. The Chinese Air Force has been covering up the three-stage version of the J-10C, and is afraid to show it to the public. It's just a matter of winning or losing. I guess it's just a matter of bragging. Okay, that's all for today's video. Thank you for watching. See you next time. Thank you for watching. In the end, the Chinese Air Force is usually very good at bragging, but it shows its original form as soon as it hits hard. After this defeat, the Chinese Air Force is usually very good at bragging, but it shows its original form as soon as it hits hard. oil refineries and oil reservoirs were hit by drones. That is to say, in the past week, Ukraine has begun to speed up attacks on Russian oil refineries and oil reservoirs. And this year, at least 15 large oil refineries and oil reservoirs in Russia have been attacked by Ukrainian drones. The effects of Ukrainian drone attacks are becoming more and more obvious. The world's largest oil-producing country has run out of oil, causing oil prices to soar, and many factories are forced to shut down. According to relevant data, Russian oil prices have soared by nearly 10% in the past week. Oil prices have risen by more than 20% since the beginning of this year, reaching a six-month high. In April, Russian ports' oil and petrol exports fell by 26% to 3.07 million tons. Reduced supply is due to another oil refinery being attacked. Russia also imported oil from Belarus and Kazakhstan in the short term. Cheap raw materials used to be the key to the growth of Russian people's wages and the softening of the furnace. But with the rise in fuel prices, all aspects of Russian economy and society are affected. British former military intelligence officer Philip Ingram, and Maria Shatina, an expert at the Institute for International Strategy, said that Ukraine's drone attacks could speed up the actual sanctions, which would be more effective. And Ukraine has already seen a clear effect. Experts expect that in the foreseeable future, this kind of attack may continue, and not stop because of U.S. warnings. Since the end of April, Ukrainian drones have resumed their attacks on Russian oil refineries and energy infrastructure. And they are getting worse. This is a headache for Russia. Ukraine plans to produce 2 million drones by 2024. Even the drone route has reached 3,000 kilometers. Equipped with AI, it will carry out an accurate strike on Russia. How long will the attack last? How long can Russian oil refineries last? This is a question worth thinking about. The latest news is that a large-scale fire broke out in Moscow. A three-story administrative building in the eastern district of Moscow, Brakova Street, caught fire. The fire spread quickly and burned down an area of 2,500 square meters. It engulfed all three floors of the brick building. It was blazing hot. You could even see the flames from the Chesherkhovo near Moscow. As of now, the details of the victims and the cause of the fire are still uncertain. The possibility of a long-distance attack by Ukrainian drones is not ruled out. In the direction of Lugansk, the Ukrainian armed forces are using the latest MGM-140 ATAKMS M39 Block 1, a Russian military camp in Lugansk Prefecture, about 90 to 95 kilometers from the western border. A steel rain suddenly fell in the air of the Russian military training ground. At the same time, blood was flowing. A total of 116 Russian soldiers were killed. One was not reported. One was hit by a car. One was killed by a truck. There was also an attack on a military building. Many surviving Russian soldiers fled in panic. Russian military analyst Matveyev watched the video and spoke. Matveyev wrote, Russian officers again took the soldiers out to train, and let them stand in the crowd next to the truck. But they forgot that in addition to the海马斯, the Ukrainian armed forces now have ATAKMS. They flew further. In the past few months, the Russian military has used numerous ATAKMS missiles to attack the Russian military training ground many times, causing great losses to Russia. The details of this loss will soon be known. Russia has never made such a mistake, but it is clear that the Russian military suffered a greater loss. In the direction of Crimea, Russian military blogger Reba said that Ukraine had launched more than 30 ATAKMS missiles in the past two weeks. It is clear that the Russian military has received a large number of missiles and is systematically destroying Crimea's targets. The war to recapture Crimea has begun. In addition, Ukraine also used the ADM-160 U-2 missiles manufactured by the Russian company Raishen to attack Crimea to collect information on Crimea's air defense systems and radars. It was also used as a pretext to destroy the Crimean Bridge. Since the beginning of the war, Crimea has provided Russian troops with air-to-air missiles to attack Ukraine. It is also an important logistics and military supply route for Russian troops in southern Ukraine. But the arrival of a large number of ATAKMS has gradually made Crimea lose its military value to Russia. There are a total of 3,800 ATAKMS missiles in the United States because the US Army is using PSM precision strike missiles instead of ATAKMS. These missiles belong to the storage of the object. In theory, they can all be sent to Ukraine. Now, in order to solve the logistics supply problem of the Crimean troops, the so-called governor of Zaporizhzhya, Baritsky, announced that Russia would build a railway to Crimea through the occupied Ukrainian territory. The railway will be connected to Crimea by Bielskoye, Jansk and Mariupol and by Rostov on the Don River in Russia. According to local calculations, the new railway will transport Crimea's grain, iron ore, scrap metal, coal and other materials to the peninsula. Baritsky finally said, Driving across the Crimean Bridge is not only a long journey, but also a high-risk object. The first flat tire you see in the video is to prevent the train from being blown up. Russia is building this railway to replace the Kursk Bridge. On May 2, French President Macron received an interview with an economist and again responded to the Ukrainian troops. Macron emphasized that he still insists on Macron said, Macron also said, Macron said, Macron also said, Also on May 2, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski told the media that the EU should build its own troops, Sikorski said, Sikorski also said, Sikorski's proposal Sikorski said, Thank you for watching Star Wars. I'm Lin Yuanshan. See you next time. On May 2, 2024, the Russian military entered the 799th day. At dawn on April 30, the Russian military launched a large-scale missile attack on Crimea. The target included Zhankoye Airport, where the Southern Military and Air Defense Command is located. The Russian Defense Department is located at the Black Sea Fleet Base of Gennomolsky Command, and the 31st Air Defense Missile Base in the Saks Region. Unlike the previous storm shadow launched by Su-24, this time it was launched by Hamas with at least 12 ATAKMS missiles. The U.S. Central Command has issued an ATAKMS order. Ukraine does not need to save ammunition. Use as much as you need. The closest Ukraine-controlled territory to Rostov-on-Don is about 225 kilometers, so it can be confirmed that Ukraine has received ATAKMS missiles with a range of 300 kilometers. Just like the Ukrainian Defense Department's Director-General of the Intelligence Directorate, Budanov said, the Kremlin Bridge has fallen, and it has entered a countdown. At this stage, first destroy the surrounding military bases and air defense facilities. Ukrainian Defense Express military expert Valery Ryabikh said on April 29 that the Ukrainian military is building a new battlefield in Crimea, and has laid out more than 200 military bases in Crimea, including all the air defense facilities used by the Russian military to cover the troops. These are all the targets Ukraine wants to destroy. The plan is to destroy them all first, and then the bridge itself. Of course, this kind of attack also has a focus. Ryabikh said, the peninsula is covered by several powerful Russian air defense troops. These troops are located in several key areas. One of them is Zhankoye. This is why Zhankoye has not fallen since April 17 in the new round of missile strikes against Crimea. The second important node is also located in the Tarkhankut region. This region has a strong air defense center that can cover the southwest of the peninsula, including the naval base in Sevastopol, which is not attacked by Ukraine. The third, perhaps the most powerful air defense force, may be built by the Russian occupier in the eastern Kerch region of Crimea. Its main goal is to protect the illegal buildings on the Crimean Peninsula as well as the logistics facilities and storage bases and the entire Kerch harbor. Washington military analyst Philip Kapor, who focuses on the Ukraine issue, said, the handover of ATAKEMS is a major breakthrough. It is likely to make Crimea become worthless in terms of military. The head of the strategic communications center of the Ukrainian Southern Defense Forces, Platon Choker, said, the Russian army is not willing to let a train full of fuel pass through the Crimean Bridge. The reason is the completeness of the bridge. On the Ukrainian battlefield, in the direction of Bakhmut, one of the recent focal points of the war is the situation of Chasov Yar movement. The Russian army has made new progress However, the Ukrainian intelligence agency has determined that before May 9, the Russian army will not be able to conquer the city of Chasov Yar. It will be a slow-paced city-to-city war. In the direction of Avdivka, the Russian army continues to advance from Oche-Ledinin along the railway to the northwest, controlling the new strongholds But the price is heavy. The day before, the Ukrainian 3rd Assault Brigade wiped out more than 200 Russian soldiers. Among them, the brigade's scouts cooperated with the 2nd Assault Brigade and killed 30 Russian soldiers in one battle with zero casualties. A Russian video captured their own loss. The location is roughly in this stronghold. The number of corpses per square meter is very amazing. The eastern front. After a period of re-gathering, the Russian army has completed the civilization But the Russian army miraculously organized a counterattack in the direction of Liman, occupying a small village, Tskharka, and moving further south. According to a German picture report, Russia may launch an attack on the second largest city of Ukraine, Kharkov. More than 40,000 Russian soldiers may participate in this round of attack. Four tank battalions have arrived at the border of the Sumy region, 150 to 200 kilometers away. The Russian army's attack on the Zaporozhye front has been suspended. Some time ago, the Ukrainian army systematically destroyed nine Russian air defense systems and three electronic warfare facilities In the first two months of 2024, Ukraine produced 200,000 FPV drones and plans to produce 1 million drones in 2024 to make up for the shortcomings of the missiles. Ukraine's destruction of the Russian artillery system has broken through 1.2 million. On Wednesday, the United States announced a list of sanctions against Russian internal affairs, including more than 300 Russian and foreign companies, including several Chinese entities. The reason for the U.S. sanctions is that China has helped Russia carry out the largest-scale military expansion Its speed is faster than we can imagine. On Wednesday, the sanctions target two Chinese groups that want to provide Russia with fuel and rocket propellants, and Russian importers of these chemical products. Let's talk about fuel and rocket propellants first. Fossil fuel, commonly known as fossil fuel, is one of the key raw materials for making firecrackers and explosives. There are only a few chemical factories in Europe, but 70% of the world's fossil fuel comes from China. Since last year, China has cut its export of fossil fuel to Europe, and on the other hand, it has doubled its export to Russia, which has increased Russia's fossil fuel imports by 70%. In mid-2023, it reached 3,039 tons, which is almost double that of 2021. This is why Europe can't keep its promise to send 1.5 million missiles to Ukraine every year, while Russia's missiles have doubled in size. It seems like one of the key factors that can't be used up. There are also two Chinese companies on the sanctions list. One is the Wuhan Global Sensing Technology Co., Ltd., and the other is the Wuhan Tongsheng Technology Co., Ltd. These two companies have produced infrared detectors for a Russian military optical manufacturer. The most important role of infrared detectors is to produce night vehicles for tanks and armored vehicles. The U.S. Treasury Department has also targeted the Juhang Airlines headquarters in Shenzhen. This is a group that produces unmanned aerial vehicles, including propellers, signal interferers, sensors, and engines. On Wednesday, the U.S. State Department's sanctions list issued a clear signal to Beijing. No matter what form it is, it has to pay a price to provide Russia with war support. But there is no direct evidence to prove that China has provided Russia with any lethal weapon. Although China imports a large amount of crude oil and other materials from Russia, it fills Russia's financial vacuum. But unfortunately, it may be that the U.S. is merciless and has not sanctioned the so-called Chinese financial institutions. Maybe after the visit to China with Bulin Ken, China's figure has dropped and released some signals to ease the situation. Of course, I personally think that China should still be helping Russia in the field of electronic components and electronic warfare. Why do I say that? There was a report on May 1 last year that the head of the U.S. Department of Defense's procurement, Laplante, recently said that Russia's electronic warfare has obviously made the U.S. support for Ukraine's precision-guided weapon. Since Laplante did not specify which kind of precision-guided weapon it was, there are many speculations. One of them is that it is like the U.S. dollar's GPS-guided missile. When the missile was first used in Ukraine, it had a 70% accuracy rate. But only six weeks later, the effectiveness of the Russian-adjusted electronic warfare countermeasure system was reduced to nearly 6%. Laplante hinted that the U.S. had lost interest in the experimental weapon. But you want to send some weapons to those and these weapons are useless. And then you throw them aside. Another weapon expert suspects that it is the GLSDB, a land-based small direct-fire missile. The GLSDB is a land-based version of an air-to-air missile. It was developed in February 2023 and approved. It is reported to have a range of up to 150 kilometers. It relies on the GPS and internal system to lock the target. It is very suitable for targeting the Russian logistics center near the front line. But even if the GLSDB does fail, it will not be the first U.S. military precision-guided weapon that has been obstructed by Russian warfare. The U.S.-backed high-mobility artillery-missile system, as well as joint attack missiles, J-bombs, have been repeatedly lost due to Russian interference. The U.S. and Russia are currently working together to study solutions and countermeasures. Finally, let's look at the South China Sea situation. The Philippines said that it regularly sends fuel and food to the area around Huangyan Island The Chinese Coast Guard sent two high-pressure water guns to the disputed Huangyan Island It caused some damage. The front line is called Xiamaxinlok in the Philippines, and Huangyan Island in China. It is not in the exclusive economic zone but is actually controlled by China. The Philippine Coast Guard said in a statement to spokesman Jay Talila that during the patrol, the Philippine ships were obstructed by four Chinese seabed ships and six Chinese navy ships. He said that the Chinese ships first fired high-pressure water guns and then fired water cannons causing damage to both ships. The Chinese Seabed 3305 ship collided with the BRT Banco Talila pointed out that the Chinese Seabed also installed a 380-meter floating barrier to cover the entire port effectively restricting entry into the area. In fact, on March 23, a Philippine supply ship was damaged by the water cannons fired by the Chinese Seabed. The incident took place near the disputed South China Sea Deartomas Submarine. Deartomas Submarine is known in China as the Deartomas Submarine. China claims to have historical rights over which is the so-called Nine-Way Line. But the Philippines raised a case of international arbitration in 2016 and completely rejected these claims. The Seabed was once controlled by the Philippines until the confrontation between the Philippines and the Philippines led to China's takeover. Recently, the tense situation has rekindled the military alliance between the United States More than 16,000 soldiers are participating in the on May 10, including 150 Australian soldiers and 100 French soldiers. The exercises are mainly held in the Paraguay Islands of the South China Sea and the islands of Badan Province. It is very obvious that the exercises are aimed at the CCP Navy. Well, that's all for today. Thank you for watching. See you next time. On April 28, in the Krasnodar Region of Russia, the Slavyansk-EKO oil refinery and the Isk oil refinery were attacked by drones. In addition, a lignin plant in the local area was also hit hard. Shortly afterwards, Lavyansk-Kubani was also attacked. The site caught fire at random, but there were no large-scale explosions. The local governor publicly responded to this, but denied that the oil refinery was hit hard, and claimed that 10 drones were dropped. In addition, in the Kaluga Region an oil storage facility was also attacked by Ukrainian drones. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed that it had successfully repelled the unarmed attack and destroyed 17 drones. So far, Ukraine has hit 13 large Russian oil refineries. Some of them have been severely damaged. According to foreign analysts, this series of operations has reduced Russian oil exports by 56%, but Russia only admitted that it has reduced by 20%. No matter how much, the attacks by Ukraine are almost endless. In contrast, the number of Russian oil refineries is insignificant. In order to prevent Ukrainian drones from attacking, Russia has added tanks, oil tanks, and oil storage facilities hoping to reduce losses. However, high-speed drones will still cause damage to the refinery, especially to the fire-resistant facilities. According to the latest information, on April 27, the Ukrainian military successfully attacked the Kursk-Kyiv Air Base in the border area of Krasnodar, Russia. According to the information, the Ukrainian drones hit the airfield of the base, causing damage to the Russian military aircraft in the base. A large number of Russian bombs were scattered all over the place. In the previous battle, the Russian military used Russian bombs to attack the Ukrainian troops. This time, the Ukrainian troops attacked the Russian military in a rapid way. On April 26, a multi-purpose K-32 helicopter was destroyed at the Moscow-based This airport is not an ordinary airport. It is operated jointly by the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Russian natural gas industry shares company. Like other military bases, Ostrofeyevo is guarded by dozens or even hundreds of Russian armed personnel. But even so, it did not stop the Ukrainian troops. It is worth noting that on April 17, the Ukrainian troops burned a Russian Mi-8 helicopter The intelligence agency said they would not tolerate the Russian aggression. Even at the safest base, they would not let them go. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 28th that they are about to launch the S-500 Prometheus anti-aircraft system developed since 2002. The Kremlin said this system has the ability to drop anti-aircraft missiles and can accurately strike targets 600 kilometers away. But some people pointed out that considering that the S-300 and S-400 did not perform well in the actual battle, many people had doubts about the S-500's performance. Ukrainian military experts even said that the S-500 was just imitating the American Patriot System and was at least 40 years behind Before that, the aid from the West was about to run out and the troops were tired and exhausted. Russia used its firepower and manpower advantage to successfully stop the retreat of the Russian troops in the eastern part of Ukraine and advanced slightly in the front line. This changed Putin's mood due to the unfavorable situation in the war zone. In recent months, he also seemed to be very confident and happy. During this time, Ukrainians took the initiative to adopt a defensive strategy. They are securing their forces and waiting for a turn. When the large-scale troops from the West arrive, the situation will turn quickly. A Western defense official commented on the X platform that although Russia may make some small tactical breakthroughs in the aid window period, but it cannot be denied that the Russian army is still a low-efficiency army He pointed out that the Russian army is not only weak in equipment, but also not trained enough in the frontline of Ukraine. This shows the overall strength of the Russian army. In addition, due to the high mortality rate and severe lack of officers, the Russian army's military advantage is not in vain. According to the ISW, the loss ratio of Russian soldiers is 6 to 7 to 1. The assessment data released by the British Ministry of Defense shows that by the end of March, nearly 470,000 Russian soldiers were injured or injured in the war, which increased the pressure on the reinforcements. According to the ISW, in order to increase the enthusiasm of civilians, the Russian army provides more economic incentives, including 200,000 rubles which is equivalent to five times the average salary and a bonus of 300,000 rubles to 1 million rubles. However, this method is not always effective, and even if Russia can recruit more people, it is not enough to make up for their lack of training. On the battlefield, Russia has always tried to suppress Ukraine by quantity rather than quality. Every time Russia strikes Ukraine, it fires one shell with a rate of five shots. In the focus area of the front line of the battlefield, the ratio is even higher, which also shows the low efficiency of Russian battlefield attacks. In addition, despite the Russian defense spending this year's record reached $11.4 billion, accounting for 6% of the total domestic production. And in November last year, news showed that the Russian-made artillery and multiple rocket systems were 2.5 times more than before, and at the same time increased the production of certain types of ammunition by more than 60 times. But the outside world thinks that Russia's efforts cannot change the situation on the front line, because only using more advanced weapons is the key to changing the situation, and Russia is just in this aspect. Western sanctions also make it difficult for Russia to obtain the weaponry parts they need, such as drones, ammunition, guided missiles and high-precision missiles. This forces Russia to produce low-tech weapons on a large scale. More low-tech weapons such as high-damage bombs and new Soviet weapons, as well as Chinese motorcycles and transport vehicles. The outside world also found that even if Russia invests military from 6% of its current GDP to 6 times to 36%, which exceeds one-third of the GDP, Russia's ammunition size cannot exceed 2-3 degrees in 2022. At that time, Russia's fierce firepower was due to Russia's 20 years of military accumulation and the former Soviet arsenal. Western intelligence has confirmed that more than 60% of the gunpowder is Soviet-era gunpowder. But now Russian weapons have been exhausted, and Russia's fragile military system cannot supply the ammunition needed on the front line. Let's take a look at the military news. On April 28, Dover reported on Ukraine, which made Putin's mood even better. According to the report, Australia announced that it would send $100 million worth of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine, including drones and air defense equipment, to once again show its support for Ukraine. Ukraine's Defense Ministry said that Denmark will buy weapons directly from Ukrainian manufacturers Ukraine's Energy Ministry announced that Ukraine will receive more than 100 powerful generators from Japan. Ukraine will also receive 12-gauge T-155 Fertina and 155mm artillery shells In addition, the United States is also pursuing a similar negotiation with Greece, hoping that Greece can provide 7.5 million types of artillery shells to Ukraine. Canadian Defense Minister Brian Brown announced that Canada will donate $3 million to Ukraine's domestic drone production, and $13 million to the In addition, the New York Times reported that the U.S. government purchased a total of 81 recovery aircraft from Kazakhstan including Su-29 fighter jets and Su-24 fighter jets and MiG-27 fighter jets that do not belong to Ukrainian air force equipment. Analysts pointed out that these aircraft may have two purposes. One is to be used as bait to lure Russian missiles and consume Russian equipment. The other is to be used as equipment donation to Ukraine's MiG-29 fighter jets and Su-24 fighter jets, etc. Okay, that's it for today. I'm Yuan Shen. See you next time.
