Nope, no way to target it…unless you rely upon special forces and partisans, and that would be a suicide mission because the Russians would know the strike was laser guided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) From what I understand this airbase is now the outer edge of what HIMARS can visit from near Kherson without putting the vehicles in artillery range of the front line: There is a sizable corner of Kherson oblast that is definitely out of range and perhaps not surprisingly the puppet authorities already evacuated to there weeks ago to a town called Henichesk. If Ukraine had ATACMS everything would be in range at this point but officially at least they only have GMLRS which is the innermost dark blue line.

ICTChris Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 There’s a video doing the rounds allegedly of Wagner fighters murdering one of their own with a sledgehammer. It’s alleged that the man was captured by Ukrainians and then was returned in a prisoner swap. After he was sent back to Wagner, his comrades in arms killed him for surrendering. There are lots of unverifiable videos about but this one has been talked about by Prigozhin, head of Wagner, who referred to it online. Wagner forces were filmed in Syria beating and beheading a Syrian man who was claimed to have deserted so they have form for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less control over the Novaya Kakhovka Dam and the NPP near Energodar would be significant, although neither would be out of range for the Russians. Removal of the Russian military on-site presence at these locations will need to be carried out at some stage. Cutting off the remainder of Kherson Oblast plus the Crimea - save for access via the vulnerable Kerch bridge - would also give access to the Sea of Azov and bottle up yet more Russian military and equipment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 He was one of the prisoners Wagner hired a few weeks back. He was made to read a statement claiming to have defected to the Ukrainians, Wagner are claiming they kidnapped him from Kyiv. Seems the execution was meant as a terror tactic to dissuade the prisoners from surrendering. How much of the rest is true guesswork. My guess is Ukrainians have allowed people who wanted to change sides to do so pretty easily. Many they capture will be Ukrainians from Luhansk and Donetsk, or from Crimea. So its possible he was caught and was being used as a labourer (there is always a lot of work to do that does not involve being trusted with a gun) by the unit that caught him, before he was recaptured by Wagner in one of their attacks near Bahkmut. The rest is their usual bullsh*t to try and make them seem more badass and capable to the people they have drawn into their services. Its really just a mafia state with nukes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
