Media coverage of the recent escalation in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine has once again shown that mainstream media provides a slanted view on the military situation in the region. It is especially interesting to observe how various mainstream outlets and so-called “NGOs” blamed militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) for an alleged usage of human shields in artillery duels. However, all these reports just hide how things really work on the ground.
The recent escalation began in late January starting with a large-scale offensive by Ukrainian Armed Forces in the industrial area of Avdeevka, north of the DPR capital of Donetsk. Meanwhile, artillery strikes dramatically intensified along the entire contact line.
The escalation deeply affected Donetsk, Makeevka, and Yasinovataya which compose a de-facto, united, highly populated, urban, complex with industrial infrastructure.
A Soviet-made 82mm mortar, widely used by both sides in the conflict, has a maximum firing range of 3km.
A 120mm mortar has a firing range of 5km. D-30 122mm howitzers and 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers have a firing range of about 15km. 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled howitzers have a firing range of about 18km, and BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher systems have a firing range of between 30 and 40 km in case of the usage of modern rockets.
If DPR and Ukrainian artillery units want to hit each other they are pushed to deploy these weapons much closer to the contact line. In case of a real combat in the area of Donetsk, and especially in case of a counter-battery fire, DPR forces are pushed to operate from areas located close to the urban complex. Furthermore, artillery units have to maneuver on a constant basis in order to avoid artillery strikes by the enemy.
In turn, Ukrainian Armed Forces have many more options to deploy artillery and other combat systems in non-populated areas but they don’t do this because in this case they will not be able to blame DPR units for shelling some residential areas.
It’s obvious that both sides implement a kind of military censorship hiding on an official level. However, this allows the mainstream media and think tanks to highlight some facts while hiding others in order to create a wide range of media forgeries, manipulating public opinion over the conflict.
I think this latest outbreak of violence is for the benefit of causing Trump to support Poroshenko, if he’s still the boss in Kyiv it’s been so long below the slime I’ve almost forgotten.
Who remembers “Sashko Bilyi” a sincere lad he was, they said at first that he shot himself twice, so proud he made them feel.
Or, better still my Sister in Religion if not Reason, Samantha Lewthwaite, shot dead Nov. 2014, Debaltsevo Eastern Ukraine, fighting with the Aidar Battalion, bested in a sniper duel by a volunteer from Russia, Samantha mother of 4 first married Suicide bomber Germaine Lindsay, then married an extremist killed in a fight with a splinter group of al-Shabaab.
We are all trapped (except for me) by the prisim of our own existence (existentialism) only way out is to disembark from the common point of departure and think in terms of reality the subject of existence.
Weren’t you in Syria preaching to ISIS?
No not as yet, I think the problem is that some people are mixed up, basically it boils down to knowing the difference between a man made fabrication and a Divine One of which there is many put there by Allah for a very good reason, if He wanted everybody there wouldn’t be a problem with reality, but there is and only I can sort it out, that’s Allah’s problem already fixed by me, our problem is IS seemingly are showing some reluctance to be a part of the solution to human problem, they can blame al-Assad and I support them here because only al-Assad is preventing me taking up residence in Damascus.
Well, when you get there tell us the news.
OK, no worries.
Why do you even bother talking to that wahabi dog. He is a filthy terrorist supporter.
I like to analyze his thoughts.
Analyse? Look what he’s saying. He’s spewing that Saudi isrelia Bullshit of him. Terrorists like him belong in Saudi isrelia.
I know, you can call this some form of morbid curiosity of mine.
Also, he is insane.
Take that anti syria takfiri propaganda of yours somewhere else you fucking wahabi dog.
Takes all kinds of people to make up a World Samuel Boas, but there is only one God we all exist within His Person and His Persona lives in Heaven, no-one knows exactly who He is in Heaven, He protects His impartiality with secrecy so He can appreciate His withess of our activity, I only hope He missed that one that you wrote Samuel.
Listen who those words come from. Go back to saudi isrelia with that wahabi nonsense of yours.
Sadat was mind controlled, they even murdered Nasser with his own physiology using his very own psychology jews can totally control anyone who is unaware of the capacity Sid Loder donated to them via the Freemasons, 1953, Evangelicalism is an offshoot of what Sid gave away and the Catholic Church is a massively corrupted by it, total mind control amounts to basically a disemplacement of emotion with reason, jews use it as gradual process, the target is always unaware.
Also as an after thought, Hegel was right though is not a mere representation of matter, phemona reflected by substance is the representation of though, proven by the temporal state of the Universe, only through could have preceded it, only four things will after exist the Universe, people living in a Mobile Heaven, 2, people only with memory servicing substance in compaction governed by the anointed Fate, 3, people only with memory existing exiled from reality, and 4, I had it minute ago, that’s right Space the Person, and Fate is always newly created, by Allah who jettisones his memory so His Son which is really Him without Him memory gets together with Space to create Fate don’t abuse me or I’ll destroy everything you stand for..
