For all goals
The Armed Forces of Ukraine delivered a missile blow to the placement point of mobilized in Makeevka: dozens (and, perhaps, hundreds) of the dead. The position of the Ministry of Defense: They themselves are to blame. In shock, even Z-patriots
They wrote off on the dead
The Russian Ministry of Defense has already reported a huge number of losses for official reports - 89 dead under the rubble. Among them are deputy regiment commander Lieutenant Colonel Bachurin. The circumstances of the incident are investigated, but the perpetrators were already found. They were the victims of the military themselves, who, judging by the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, allowed themselves on a festive night “inclusion and mass use, contrary to the prohibition, and the personnel of mobile phones in the reach of the enemy’s lesions”. Which, according to the Generals of the Ministry of Defense, allowed, to bring missiles of the RSO on coordinates of the location of the military.
The exact number of people who were in the building of the vocational school at the time of shelling, as well as the real number of victims, apparently, is still unknown to anyone. The examination of fragments of fragments of torn and charred bodies extracted from under the rubble will take months. The Strategic Communications Office of the Armed Forces of Ukraine states that about 400 mobilized, and about 300 were injured as a result of a blow to the location of the Russian troops. Some popular bloggers, for example, Anatoly Shariy, argued that up to 600 people who were killed and missing could reach.
The “military commissars”, bloggers, and behind them, some security forces from the occupied territories, in turn, went into the brutal opposition to the official army authorities and demanded the brutal punishment of those who decided on the fatal bored placement of military personnel in the same building.
“The 11th month is fighting! -Pavel Gubarev, one of the former leaders of the “DPR”, who was responsible for the set of volunteers in the “People’s Police” spoke in his TG channel. - Settling in small groups - everyone knows that. Mobilized could not know, but the authorities should know! If now not to punish this, then then only the bottom! Makeevka is criminal negligence! ”
“What can we say about the accommodation, which the whole city, which in sight,” the military university echoes “and a member of the HRC, Alexander Kotz. - Is it really that underground objects are not enough in the mining region to accommodate personnel. Why we continue to settle in hotels, dormitories, vocational schools ... All without exception spoke of a fatal danger to settle near LBS (clamping lines) in buildings. Only basements, only concrete fortifications, no mass concentrations, no movements of columns. ”
“Well, it is obvious that they will beat the clusters - would we act wrong? - writes the former secretary of the “DPR Security Council”, today one of the commanders of the “People’s Police” Alexander Khodakovsky. - The incident cannot be changed, but you can warn the repetition, and if after this tragedy measures on similar situations will not be taken, the execution will need to be returned primarily to those whose inaction leads to such consequences ... In the conditions of extension of the resource near the front line - that is, in the defeat zone, there is more than one Makeevsky vocational school. We know that there are also objects known to the enemy with an increased concentration of personnel - we are waiting for the reaction of the military leadership. If it is not there, but there will be another enemy’s blow - to regard the failure of the measures should be exclusively as betrayal. ”
Bloodry rake
There really were a lot of blows on the facilities of the compact location of the Russian forces earlier. Here are just a few cases that became known last year.
As a result of shelling by the Ukrainian side of the base of the Chechen regiment, more than 40 fighters were killed and about two hundred were injured, the head of the Kherson ova of Ukraine Sergei Khann stated at the end of October. The Chechen Opposition Telegram channel 1adat, in turn, reported that at least a hundred people were killed then.
On December 10, the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces were attacked by the recreation center “The Hunter’s Hall” in Melitopol, on which the Kadyrovites were stationed. The mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorovsaid that it was about 200 victims.
Himars also fired at the hotel in the city of Stakhanov in the LPR: the headquarters of the Vagner PMC unit was in the building. The number of victims is still unknown.
It is interesting that already in 2023 there were reports of successful shelling on December 31 of another location of the Russian troops. This time under the village of Chulakovka. According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the losses of Russians amounted to about 500 wounded and killed soldiers, but there is no official evidence of this from the Russian side.
Data on the effectiveness of this operation was confirmed by Anatoly Shariy, a pro -Russian blogger from Ukraine, recently also quite criticizing Russian military departments: “According to my information, less than 500 victims, but they really repeatedly repeated the situation of Makeevka - draining the location of the personnel.”
According to experts,
The vulnerability for missiles and artillery of the enemy of too tightly located troops is well known to Russian commanders.
“The boring location of personnel and equipment in the frontline zone is a well-known problem and is directly prohibited by the combat charters of the RF Armed Forces,” the Israeli military expert David Gandelman explains the New Evrop. - Nevertheless, not all commanders, even after 10 months of the war, are fully aware of this. From a purely household point of view, it is much easier to place the personnel compactly in premises of the type of schools, which in this case happened than to disperse it, use basements, build fortifications, and so on. ”
According to Handelman, even in case of unmistakable placement of personnel of shelling and victims, it will not be possible to avoid victims. After all, no air defense systems and counter -battery struggle give one hundred percent result, and no counterintelligence agents will close all the leaks of the information completely. But with the correct placement of such victims, there will be much less. As usual,
Failure to comply with the norms of combat charters leads to unjustified losses. Hence the army truth "the charter is written by the blood of fighters."
The Russian military expert agrees with the Israeli colleague, who asked not to name his name for security reasons.
“We have a banal headlight, expressed in non -compliance with all possible authorized requirements,” our interlocutor is sure. - This is the illiteracy of the command, and the disregard, and the hope of “maybe it will carry”, and the rear relax, and the underestimation of the enemy’s capabilities. The concentration of manpower and technology in the war is inevitable. In this case, a disguise should be observed, and reliable protection of objects - including air defense and pro. ”
The Russian military expert explains that the depth of the front in modern conditions has grown very much. In some cases, it can be hundreds of kilometers today. That is, the whole territory, which is within the radius of the defeat of enemy artillery and reach of enemy aircraft, cannot be considered safe for the boring distribution of troops. According to the expert, such situations may indicate that in the army of the Russian Federation there is a banal shortage of modern air defense and pro. In addition, a Russian source is cursing, the elderly military leaders love comfort too much and are not used to life in the field. Therefore, instead of defeating the tents in the forest or park, dispersing and disguising them, they, especially in the cold season, occupy a convenient building, naively assuming that the enemy will not open his whereabouts.
Russian middle -level officers themselves also declare that
The main problem is precisely in the spitting attitude to the personnel of the higher management.
“And who wants to think about our safety!? Civil objects, like barracks, could only be used in the absence of the possibility of art lesions,-explains the new-Europe “one of the Russian officers, which is today close to the combat zone, but now there are no such places after the appearance of Himars, excaliburs and other high-precision weapons in fact. A number of commanders of the General Staff believes that it is impossible to occupy the private sector within the framework of PR, since there were cases of conflicts with the owners. Therefore, the resettlement of administrative buildings and infrastructure facilities - especially among Russian mobilized ones - has been practiced and will be practiced. So - the mass death of the soldiers who did not even see the front will be repeated. Many charters have been written. One charter says that it is necessary to disperse military personnel at a distance of 100-150 meters. And the other charter requires that each soldier has a certain number of square meters of area and directly prohibits the use of unsuitable rooms for housing. In fact, we come and stop where the generals will say. An attempt to relocate armed subordinates outside the location of the unit threatens the tribunal. ”
Our interlocutor claims that many officers tried to demand from the command of the allocation of safer buildings or fortified structures for living. To which, the officer claims, was received that the generals also live in hotels and no special conditions are created by anyone. And bomb shelters and basements today require civilians who are waiting for daily shelling there.
“It is quite obvious that there is no guilt on soldiers who tried on New Year's Eve to call relatives. All Donetsk at that moment called somewhere. The whole city knew that the Russian military was stationed in vocational schools. Near the building, the equipment stood, there was a warehouse of ammunition. Someone leaked these data from the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces and helped to strike. And then the work of technology. From the satellite, everything that is necessary is visible. The loading of a mobile network only confirmed the accumulation of people in this place, ”says the Russian officer.
Since the data on the location of Russian soldiers is almost impossible to keep secret, and no one is going to provide safe premises for their placement, then there will continue to strike the places of compact residence of the Russian military personnel. Moreover, the number of exact lesions of such objects will grow along with the supply of Ukraine to the West of high -precision weapons. But the guilty, apparently, will continue to recognize Russian soldiers.
In the most extreme case, these losses will try not to notice at a high level: on January 4, the Kremlin posted a video about how President Putin on video broadcast takes part in the Admiral Gorshkov frigate ceremony. The company (also by video communication) was the Minister of Defense Sergey Shoigu. Before the ceremony, Putin and Shoigu, smiling, congratulated each other on the New Year holidays. Not a word was publicly said about soldiers in Makeevka.
