🇺🇸🇺🇦 Large echelons of Abrams tanks and Bradley BMPs spotted in Poland en route to the east

Biden's statement about transferring tanks to Ukraine is not been news for a long time. The decision has been taken in advance, and his speech with pathetic rhetoric is nothing but dust in the eyes of voters.

The residents of Lvov report in social networks that the city is practically under a blockade. The police and military have blocked all exit roads, checking every vehicle that leaves the village.

The law enforcers are looking for men of conscription age. If such are found, they turn the vehicle back.

"They stop every car to hand over the summons," noted one of the residents of Lvov in Telegram.

Journalist Ruslan Ostashko noted that the mobilization of Lvov residents is a great gift for Poland. When the time comes to take over Western Ukraine, the Poles will not meet any resistance.

Regarding that train in Poland

I have always been against nukes. I stated that multiple times. But you are slowly but surely leading us in that direction. What the hell are you doing?!?!

(GB to Miroslav: Somehow, all three consecutive messages fit perfectly together.)

Strangely, they do...

A Nazi eagle on AFU armor, but there are still no Nazis in Ukraine.

I wonder if German leopards and Abramses are also being slapped on?

Openly.

About the situation in Artemovsk

In the area of Zalizianske-Dubovo-Vasilyevka, a large concentration of the enemy's manpower was hit by gunfire. 
During today's day, there were 9 reconnaissance battles in the following directions:

Krasnoye-Andreevka (1 km west of Klescheevka), Artemovsk-Opytne, and Blagodatnoye-Bakhmutskoye
The Wagner PMC continues to advance north, thus preparing for the encirclement of Artemovsk.

Beat the Leopard! - How my grandfather beat the Tigers and Panthers.

To defeat a German tank use the "Blind and Destroy" tactic!

The West collects for the AFU a zoo of different vehicles from all over Europe, and "Leopard" tanks can be of different modifications - both 2A4 and 2A6. We will consider the 2A4.

Your first task is to deprive the enemy of his eyes. Tank shells like 3BM42 "Mango" or 3BM59 "Lead", sent straight into the sighting complex, will blind the enemy and can even hit the commander behind the armor.

On top of the turret is the commander's panoramic sight - destroy it with any available weapon.

Do not forget about the gunner's sight - it is located next to the barrel of the tank, and to destroy it any grenade launchers and tank shells will do.

Are you a UAV operator? Attack the tank from above and from a safe distance! The Leopard crew is nestled between the BK and the fuel - add some fire to them!

Got an ATGM with above 500mm Kornet-type penetration? Hit the sides - armor resistance is only 490mm. Areas without armor are vulnerable to 30mm armor-piercing rounds at a distance of no more than 1km.

Got room to maneuver? Go around and use an ATGM with 500mm penetration to the rear of the tank.

Face the tank head-on? Hit with shaped charge rounds or use an anti-tank guided missile!

❗️A revision of the previous US decision not to supply tanks to Ukraine  changes due to "conditions on the ground" - White House

We would like to point out that Washington had previously refused to supply Abrams to Kiev, but at a recent press conference, President Biden said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were preparing an offensive.

By evening, reports are coming in from Ugledar.

The Russian army has begun to encircle Ugledar, and there are reports of storming operations directly on the outskirts of the city.

Ugledar is inferior in size to the previously liberated Pavlovka and Nikolsky, but is at a dominant height.

Much of the city is riddled with mine communications - almost ready-made defenses where the enemy placed artillery and regularly shelled the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.

In general, the activity at the front, from Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) to Zaporozhye shows us that a series of events has begun which will largely determine the course of further history. We have no right to comment on the details, but after Victory we will certainly share what the legislation and the military regulations allow.

To our soldiers we wish you the best of luck!

God and Truth are with you, brothers!

The advance of Wagner PMC fighters in the vicinity of Artemovsk, as well as on the outskirts of the city, is forcing the Ukrainian command to redeploy more and more forces to this area.

According to various estimates, some 30,000 of Ukraine's most combat-ready troops are concentrated near Artemovsk.

Those reserves that Kiev was preparing for the Zaporizhia and Svatove directions are now working in the Artemovsk direction, which means that in effect the Wagnerians have deprived the Ukrainians of the potential for major offensives.

In Ukraine, mobilization to man the brigades that are suffering losses in the "Artemovsk meat grinder" continues, so the number of fighters near Bakhmut is steadily increasing.

Despite all this, Wagner is moving forward.

Those ukrainian nationalists who were "defending" Artemovsk are fleeing their positions. In retaliation, they hit residential buildings with heavy artillery. For example, a Ukrainian tank crew fired direct fire at a multi-storey building where civilians were hiding in the basement. Shortly before that, the militants had shot two of them.

"I heard shots, my mother screamed, fell down and then came silence. We hid, came out about seven minutes later, the nationalists were gone, and my mother and another relative were lying there," -  Artemovsk resident Aleksandr Kolesnichenko.
