Ukraine’s Shifting Frontlines: A Glimpse Through the Fog of War 🇺🇦⚔️
The digital battlefield echoes the physical one. Open-source intelligence, gleaned from combat footage uploaded from the Ukrainian frontlines, offers a raw, unfiltered view of a war evolving at breakneck speed. These videos, often shaky and chaotic, document not just the brutal realities of the conflict, but also the innovative tactics and daunting challenges faced by both sides. From the alleged appearance of North Korean troops integrated into Russian formations, to the whispers of F-16s ruling the skies, these snippets of war demand closer scrutiny. They raise critical questions about the changing dynamics of this conflict and its potential to escalate.
Key Takeaways From the Front
North Korean Presence: Multiple videos suggest the integration of North Korean soldiers into Russian units near Kursk and the Pokrovsk direction, potentially signaling a deepening alliance and a concerning development in the conflict’s human toll. Leaked footage purportedly shows North Korean troops training and even engaging in combat.
Shifting Russian Tactics: After suffering setbacks, Russian forces appear to be adapting their strategies, shifting from assaults on settlements in lowlands to maneuvering over hill chains, as seen in footage from Kursk. This tactical shift underscores the dynamic nature of the conflict and the Russian military’s capacity to learn and adapt, even amidst heavy losses.
Ukrainian Counteroffensives and Innovations: Ukrainian forces are demonstrating resilience and tactical ingenuity, employing combined arms maneuvers and advanced weaponry, including alleged F-16 strikes against Russian aircraft. Videos highlight the effective use of Bradley IFVs, precision airstrikes, and FPV drone attacks, showcasing a modernizing Ukrainian military.

Whispers of F-16s and the Ghost of Kim Jong-un: Decoding the Digital Battlefield
The alleged presence of North Korean troops raises significant questions. Are these soldiers mercenaries, regular army units, or a desperate attempt by Russia to bolster dwindling manpower? Their integration into Russian formations suggests a level of cooperation not previously observed, potentially indicating a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape. Simultaneously, the unconfirmed reports of F-16 operations, while tantalizing, require careful analysis. Verifying these claims through open-source intelligence is crucial for understanding the true impact of these advanced aircraft on the battlefield. The combination of these two factors – the potential influx of North Korean soldiers and the introduction of F-16s – could drastically reshape the conflict in the coming months.

Today there are a lot of interesting updates from the Pokrovsk direction.
Here, Russian forces slowed down their offensive efforts in order to reorganize their forces inside the Hrodivka-Novohrodivka-Selydove defense belt. The Ukrainians took advantage of the Russian operational pause, deploying the elite NATO-trained 425th Assault Battalion Skala and 5th Assault Brigade, facing the unprepared and exhausted Russian units which based on the combat videos, seem to have just been reinforced by North Korean soldiers.
Recently, Russian forces secured control of the town of Selydove. The protracted but crucial battle for this town delayed their primary offensive toward Pokrovsk and significantly thinned the Russian ranks. This development forced the Russians to reorganize and regroup, reducing the intensity of their attacks and exposing critical vulnerabilities. Seizing this opportunity, Ukrainian commanders from the 5th Assault Brigade and the 425th Skala Assault Battalion devised a series of surprise operations to reclaim lost positions near Novohrodivka and Hrodivka.
Ukrainian command has identified that the new Russian offensives from Selydove are aimed at the E-50 highway and its flanks. Concurrently, Russian forces are attempting to advance on Myrnograd from Novohrodivka and Hrodivka. To counter these efforts and shift the Russians onto the defensive in this region, Ukrainian forces initiated a preemptive strategy. The first step involved deploying the Ukrainian Air Force, which launched a precision strike on Russian concentrations in Hrodivka. Combat footage reveals Ukrainian jets employing French-made AASM Hammer guided bombs to disrupt Russian preparations, effectively increasing their vulnerability to a Ukrainian counterattacks.
The airstrikes were further supported by FPV drone strikes, which targeted and eliminated Russian survivors attempting to disperse and hide from the aerial bombardment. Notably, Ukrainian drone operators observed soldiers among the survivors who appeared to be of Asian descent, suggesting the presence of North Korean personnel integrated into Russian units. This aligns with earlier reports, as just two weeks ago, Ukrainian fighters began noticing North Korean flags flying over newly captured positions. These North Korean soldiers are fully integrated into the Russian army, wearing identical uniforms. Although, the recent footage of North Korean rifles and machine guns in Kursk may suggest they are partially equipped by North Korea, hinting at a deeper logistical cooperation between the two countries.
Following the airstrike, the 425th Assault Brigade Skala launched a decisive counterattack. Infantry squads advanced aboard Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, which provided suppressive fire on Russian positions while withstanding hits from RPGs. Upon reaching the target area, the Bradleys dismounted Ukrainian assault squads, who proceeded to storm and capture six trenches held by Russian forces. During the assault, one Bradley was struck by a Russian anti-tank guided missile but successfully withdrew thanks to its robust armor. Meanwhile, Ukrainian stormtroopers methodically cleared the trenches, eliminating Russian resistance and securing new positions. The captured trenches near Novohrodivka established a critical buffer zone before Myrnograd, disrupting Russian plans and forcing their troops to retreat to their original positions.
Overall, Russian forces were caught off guard in an operational pause which resulted in a series of powerful Ukrainian counterattacks. The panicking assault by Russian and North Korean forces ended in a disaster, possibly due to severe problems with communication and coordination. The positions regained by the Ukrainian fighters will amplify and reinforce their defenses to prepare for further intensification of the Russian offensive towards Pokrovsk and Myrnograd, to establish a buffer zone and to delay them before they reach these cities. Such a Ukrainian approach could stop the Russian offensive in winter, as the ground will become muddy from snow, complicating logistical issues for the Russian and North Korean troops.

Today, the biggest updates come from the Kursk direction.
Here, after a series of disastrous defeats, Russian forces decided to change their tactics and tried a new assault on the main Ukrainian stronghold. But even more importantly, new footage revealed how North Korean soldiers are undergoing active integration into Russian formations and getting ready for large-scale combat operations in the region.
The main Russian goal continues to be to cut off Ukrainian forces in the northern part of the salient with a pincer maneuver toward Malaya Loknya. But after a disastrous failed assault through the settlements left many Russian soldiers encircled, and false reports only worsened the situation, Russians were forced to change their tactics.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Malaya Loknya sits on a hill chain with a hardened road running along it. In a change of tactics, instead of advancing through the settlements in the lowlands, Russians are now trying to advance over the hill chain to reach their goal of capturing Malaya Loknya. Besides being able to attack Ukrainian positions from the same height, by taking up positions in the tree line along the road, Russians would simultaneously gain fire control over the settlements in the lowlands.
Russians launched several waves of assaults along this road, while Ukrainians had set up to repulse them most effectively. Geolocated footage shows how Russian vehicles sped down the road but continuously blew up on Ukrainian anti-tank mines. The footage also shows how Russians did not use purely mechanized forces in their assaults, but unarmored trucks filled with infantry. This indicates that Russians had not yet fixed their communication issues, and expected the road to be already secured by previous assaults. After Ukrainian artillery had opened fire, shrapnel tore through the unarmored personnel carriers, as the soldiers and trucks scattered in all directions to get out of the Ukrainian kill zone as fast as possible.
Even though Ukrainian drones were able to hunt down many of the remaining Russian soldiers, Ukrainians could not prevent small groups of them from making it to dugouts and trenches in the surrounding trees. This is a typical Russian tactic, where Russian infantry scatters in all directions to take shelter, establishing new positions to inch the frontline forward, even after a failed assault. Ukrainians understood this and sent in special forces groups to finish off the remaining soldiers or take them captive. As the Russian soldiers often do not have the supplies or training necessary to fight off the well-trained and battle-hardened Special Forces operators successfully, many Russians simply surrender shortly after being taken under fire.
Interestingly, one captured Russian soldier revealed that there was a North Korean military encampment in the region, just 25 kilometers or 15 and a half miles from Ukrainian lines. He also added that that they were instructed not to disclose any information on North Korean fighters, and to only mention Buryats, which are an Asian-Mongolian ethnic group within eastern Russian territories, to hide North Korean involvement as much as possible. Later, another Russian soldier leaked a video showing how they were teaching North Korean soldiers Russian phrases. This indicates that North Koreans are preparing to engage in active frontline combat operations soon, and are trying to ensure that they will be able to work together when conducting assaults in the future.
Overall, Russian forces try to inch themselves forward with every attack, as even after a failed assault, Ukrainians cannot prevent some Russian soldiers from taking up new positions. Ukrainians maintain an active defense by clearing the exhausted Russian soldiers, while gaining valuable intel on Russian and North Korean operations. Russians are losing more and more of their better-trained soldiers with every failed assault, and likely do not have enough of them in reserve to accomplish their goals on their own. Likely, the North Korean soldiers will be sent forward as a first wave of assault, to deplete Ukrainian supplies, expose firing positions, and trigger hidden land mines and ambushes. The idea being that after this, Russian troops can come in to clean up the remaining Ukrainian positions, a Russian cannon fodder tactic that was widely applied to Russian convict recruits, leading to countless losses of troops.

Ukrainian F-16 Footage That Russia Doesn’t Want You to SeeTech424,130 views | 11,628 | November 27 2024 17:30:02 (857 comments)[ Read more … ]
“Eternal memory, brothers!” These cryptic words haunting Russian military online channels are the only clue to the fate of a Russian Su-34 crew after whispers speculating about its shootdown started to spread throughout the region.
Just weeks ago, Russian airman Ilya Tumanov reported the downing of a similar aircraft, the crash site bearing no signs of life. Now, with yet another Su-34 lost, an ominous pattern is emerging. A silent predator prowling the skies, striking down Russia’s mightiest aircraft with the precision of a hawk descending on unsuspecting prey.
Though this mystery menace remains unseen, speculation swirls, with many suspecting it to be one of Ukraine’s newest and most lethal additions to the war: supersonic fighter, F-16 Fighting Falcon.
