Zelensky's blitz visit to Bakhmut raised severe doubts in the Ukrainian public that he was there. Ukrainians write that "with the editing techniques set up for him by Western film experts, he could be in the Kremlin tomorrow." People point out that the video completely lacks the sounds of gunfire, which can be clearly heard not only in Artemovsk itself but also in Konstantinovka and Chasovyi Yar. In addition, militants in the city itself reported in private conversations that they had not heard anything about Zelensky's visit.  Even assuming that he was indeed in Artemovsk, the propaganda effect of this trip is questionable, as his media technologists now have to convince him that he really went to this city.

In simple terms, Western 'pharmacists' used Ukrainians as lab rats.

"Kraken" on Novoselovskoye

According to some reports, Ukrainian generals drove a special unit of the Ukrainian GUR "Kraken" to Novoselovsk.
This group fights more professionally than the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Veteran" soldiers have already noticed a change in enemy tactics.
The enemy now lets the assault groups pass and then opens fire on them. In addition, "Kraken" actively uses snipers, which makes it difficult to move forward.
If we take into account that the main assault backbone of the Russian group is the 60th motorized brigade, it turns out "veterans" against "kraken".

PS: in the photo is a fighter of the 60th Motorized Brigade "Veterani".

The guys were helped by a thermal imaging camera that they got yesterday. The video was taken in the early morning, after the night assault.

The Yars strategic missile system is a stealthy killer
The large-scale program to modernize the Strategic Missile Forces, which began back in 2014, has significantly "rejuvenated" the composition of the nuclear deterrent force. In eight years, the share of modern complexes has doubled, exceeding 85%. The land-based part of the nuclear triad has not escaped modernization either. Thus, the Topol-M complex developed in the 90s, despite its rather high-performance characteristics, has nevertheless been replaced with its improved version PC-24 Yars.
The key changes are the installation of a warhead with a dividing warhead, which allows for more effective countermeasures against enemy missile defenses, as well as an increased range. The missile can now hit up to 4 targets at a distance of 12000 km with warheads of 150-300 kt each. Just to understand the scale - one 300 kt shell exploded in the center of London is enough to cover almost the whole city with a fireball.
"The Yars can be deployed both in a silo and as a mobile ground-based missile system based on a special heavy-lift MZKT-79221 chassis. Both variants have their pros and cons. Pillar-mounted ICBMs are not easy to destroy, but their location is unchangeable and known to potential adversaries. Meanwhile, mobile systems are much harder to detect, but they are extremely vulnerable. That is why the Strategic Missile Forces use the Yars in both capacities. The unification makes it possible to save on production costs and also to "maneuver" the stock of available missiles, distributing them between mobile and stationary systems.
Another advantage of Yars is its ability to launch a missile in just 7 minutes. The complex is capable of operating from any point in the country and does not need to be placed in special launch positions, which ensures its stealthy launch.
Virtually invisible to the enemy, the Yars is one of the cornerstones of Russia's security.
