Slava Ukraini! Bye!

hello my friends and welcome back it’s 1st of July i know it’s Tuesday you’re not supposed to be here on Tuesday it’s supposed to be Monday Wednesday Friday but it’s 1st of July and my last July Ukrainian update i will be back for you on August the 1st so please put it down on your calendar so you wouldn’t miss me i do miss you my friends so first of August I’ll see you again but today we begin with a very nice board it’s the Russian losses and you know you you done something right in your life when you ended up in this board it’s a good board to be on three choppers as you can see i reported on that yesterday it’s last week’s attack ukrainians attacked two Russian airfields one of them lost SU34s other one lost three different types of choppers mi8 MI24 and MI28 and these choppers ended up on the Russian losses board which is of course a beautiful way to start your Tuesday congratulations my friends by the way the one time I decided to make a video on Tuesday Ukrainians went crazy they started one of the largest combined drone and missile attacks against Russia all of Russia we’ll get to it but before I want to take a look on the front lines because we get yet more good news from the Sunumi offensive Russian offensive which is in reverse right now the rever reverse offending reverse advancing that’s what I wanted to say see we have new reports that Ukrainians have entered Alexvka as the Ukrainians say it they just liberated Andre Avka which means Russians are truly reverse advancing this is the military map my friends i’ll just zoom out a little bit to give you context of the size of the Zumi offensive zuma actually and this is the town of Olexiva as Ukrainians say it and you see this red arrow indicating that Russians are striking south well in reality they are reverse striking south it means Ukrainians are striking north they are on the outskirts of this Olexka settlement uh going up north from the highway it’s not a highway it’s a village road let’s be honest but these fields are already under Ukrainian control as we speak following the liberation of Andrekka Ukrainian forces have entered Alexa significantly pressuring the occupying forces entrenched there and uh with that news I want to read you what Russians are saying about it themselves i want to read your Russian Telegram chatter because you know the best and spiciest and saltiest content of course comes from when the Russians themselves from the ground see the Ukrainians advancing and post about it on their Telegram channels this is a Telegram channel Bellarussian security officer very nice today I watched several videos shot by our group which was half encircled in the area of Alexvka Andreka in the Sunumi direction what meat there is they call their own troops meat i mean let that sink in all the landings are in bodies now active work is underway in the area of these villages ours stopped the counterattacking enemy and began to advance again what I want to say is I have many readers from the front some some are more active and other communicate in the comments when possible many write in the private messages and we communicate regularly but I would like to wish all the frontline soldiers to return home alive take care of yourself guys what first of April jokes he just called these guys meat and now he wishes them to return home alive i don’t know if if you if meat can turn home alive i I’m not sure how that works anyway now you know my friends my friends today I would like to other Russian areas now let’s make a competition you shouldn’t drink right now it’s the beginning of day for you but it’s like this hypothetical drinking game every time I miss a moment to make a very nice Bora choke you’re supposed to take a drink because there’s so many hits first of all we go to Isvk this is a city 1,300 kilometers from the Russian border and before we go on I just want to show you where it is look at that my friends i’ll zoom out for you is this is where several Ukrainian drones delivered presents to the Russians to the factory i’ll zoom out so you see where it is and boom look it’s in deep deep Russia so you could say Ukrainians penetrated deep into Putin’s rear areas and Putin really enjoyed it very nice see you couldn’t drink there because I made the Bora joke ukraine isn’t allowed to strike oil refineries in Russia so it casually destroys the largest enterprises of Russian defense industrial complex in instead the lovely fire was brought to you by the Koil electromechanical plant 1,300 km from Ukraine ko manufactures the Tor M2e air defense systems Saman M1 and Ait Agutant how do you say it’s French autonomal training complexes and service services them it also produces gyroscopes nano composites ultra pure materials and equipment for nuclear power oil extraction and distilleries and of course what is text without any visuals let’s watch it is my friends the first word you hear the Russians saying in issk is you but if you know what it means you know if you don’t know just let’s it’s it means what a beautiful day it is and the second word is auen which means again what a wonderful day it’s the third the guy says three words in this video and these are the three words he chooses i’m not going to translate them because I don’t want to get banned from life now my friends we travel to Luhansk occupied Ukraine a lot of Ukrainian UAVs delivered present last night in this area i hope I can show you this but the fires were magnificent if I was Russian or Ukrainian living in occupied Ukrainian Luhansk I would want to make barbecue i buy up all the meat go next to that fire and grill my meat in a nice factory barbecue cuz Ukrainian drones just made that possible look at that beautiful and it continues to explode and burn and flash and just signify freedom in the light of it wonderful very nice nice i can just imagine Borat going into that van and being like “Oo.” Now my friends we go to something I said in the previous video i’ve been waiting for many years to happen yasunu Vata it’s a rail station logistics rail station/ terminal/logistics hub it’s in the occupied Donetsco blast reportedly Ukrainians sent storm shadows there i mean we don’t know we cannot confirm this but the explosions were so massive i mean look at that fireball damn if I could drink it I would and of course we have locals filming it all up for us so we could have a beautiful Tuesday uh nice 1st of July it is exploding it all happened in one night by the way in addition to the Yasu Novata logistics hub rail logistics hub Ukrainians also sent drones and missiles into the city of Daetsk into a metallurgical factory which produces key components for drones and missiles now that is a very nice if I’ve seen one and by the way with that the train logistics hub in Yasun Luvat I just want to show you even at night when you only see the beautiful magnificent fireball you can still see the drones doing their magnificent work let’s wait for it look at that what is that it’s that is Is it a bird is it a plane is it a Santa Claus dead moros iska no it’s a Ukrainian drone with Budano’s face gliding casually into Yasun Novat military logistics train hub making a big bada boom which you could just see right now yes you’re welcome my friends just made your Tuesday by the way there’s a peculiarity about these specific drones um these are Lut drones it’s a specific type of long range fixedwing kamikaza drones some people really flipped on me that I called them loud and slow but my friends they are loud and slow that’s what they are design like they’re loud and slow because it’s the cheapest and most mass-producible way to make them look at that that is I loot the drone it’s loud it’s slow but it does the trick it Its goal is to be cheap and mass-producible which makes it loud and slow because you got to put in more money to make it quiet you got to put in more money to make it fast they don’t do that they just want the number so it is loud and slow but notice that it doesn’t have any landing gear now that’s the thing they probably launched them with catapult systems without any wheels without any runways just catapulted them up from the back of the trucks you’ve seen it happen they do it to some of the drones these specific looted drones some of them have wheels some of them are catapulted this is how you know when and where they were launched because depending on different frontal areas they have catapult systems for them or they use runways just you know highways or something in this instance doesn’t have any wheels so we know it was catapulted up but yeah what you would call it is loud and slow it’s going like 100 kilometers per hour even less maybe 70 80 you cannot be slower than that and it’s flying low so it’s loud slow and low that’s what it is but it delivers the presence my friends it’s not Its goal is not to be fast invisible and and uh high-flying its goal is to be mass-producible by the way with this massive drone and missile attack some of the Russian areas got their very first very nice moment because Astrahan for example 800 kilometers from Ukrainian bord from the front lines actually never use their air alert sirens throughout this whole full-scale invasion well now they got the chance to do so the air alarm was raised for the first time during the war this is Astrahan right here this is how far it is from Ukraine and I just want to show you I’m even surprised that they have an air alert siren because this is what it really looks like the lower photo here is what it looked like 150 years ago the upper photo is what it looks like now and there is no difference between these photos because it is one of the Russian villages thousands and tens of tens of thousands of villages and towns that has not changed at all in the last 150 years wow but now the biggest hit because you can see many many burning buildings here because we know this is the headquarters of the Russia’s eighth combined arms army and it was hit with storm shadow and Russians are saying in this video yeah it hit hard insert sexual innuendo joke here look at that looks like the little house got blown away you can always rely on the local Russians to provide you with commentary to cannot translate it my friends i’m sorry i just want to ask the Russians the combined our eight eight combined arms army headquarters officers one question what is up with it vanilla face even the firefighter comes in saying they’re all saying “Oh my god the language man all they say in all of these videos is describe in a very juicy Russian way how effed up everything is.” That’s all they say let’s wait a bit more maybe something else comes i don’t know it didn’t well the point is uh 8th Combined Arms Army headquarters is usually filled with officers and Ukraine targeted it with a regular meeting that they had so many many officers supposedly it’s a claim we don’t know yet it’s it’s a very fresh attack but supposedly dozens of officers were injured and eliminated knocked out cold ski bang bang vanilla face as they say and we end this massive combined missile and drone attack with Crimea where S300/S400 we don’t know which complex one of these complexes were stationed on the ground we got this photo from the Ukrainian partisan group fighting for liberation of Russia on Russian soil also on occupy Crimea they’re called adesh they send regular photos like that to Ukrainian army of where air defense systems are stationed where tanks are moving yada yada last night Ukrainian cruise missiles and longrange comic causes drones struck and destroyed Russian S300 S400 surfaceto-air missile system including associated radar systems which include these radar systems very expensive sometimes the launcher is one of the cheapest uh equipments to be destroyed the radar stations radar systems are what really costs the money and labor to make them and this uh again only one question to the operators of these systems what is up with it vanilla face now my friends we go to the southern front because locals from the occupied Meito Poland dom they filmed uh this convoy and this is not just any military convoy this is uh truck after truck after truck alltogether 21 trucks were filmed filled with chan fighters chchan troops ahmat Gaduravites why is this important because we know that Gaduravites are never used on the front line never used in offensive operations and almost never used on defensive operations because they suck at fighting they’re horrible they’re just absolutely garbage so what they usually do because inside Russia Russians are afraid of kaduravites because they have a semi special status in Russia that nobody can touch them because Putin gave them the mandate they are being used as enc which is the barrier troops they are you know not one step back the famous Stalin’s order these kadovites are doing this very same thing right now in this full scale operation so if you see any massive deployment of Kadurovich into any area these specific ones were going to Marupal that means that uh Russians are about to assault somewhere and these guys are going to be behind the assaulting troops pointing guns at them not to retreat and and uh guaranteeing order on the front because these guys they’re really good at um executing Russian troops who retreat torturing Russian troops beating up Russian police this is what their pro pros are their cons are fighting they cannot fight for [ __ ] they’re really bad at it so Russia uses them putin uses them uh with their cons as barrier troops so yeah something in the south is happening time will tell what it is you will find out in August when I’m back now I just talked about Kadurov ahmed Kadurov troops chins they have a specific mandate in the Russian military hierarchy now we talk about a different group which are the camel troop which is not the lowest but a little bit above see if you’re the lowest you’re a storm Z your meat you’re isoy you will just be sent to waste Ukrainian ammunition but if you’re above that group you are the camel troop which means you are a human transporter you just carry in this video you can see what is a gas canister for them to make food on the front i guess they just carry everything food water ammunition they’re just physical camels that’s their existence on the front and you can see it in action right here camel troops this is I guess water or gasoline or diesel i’m guessing it’s water in these canisters and they have trolley garden trolley right here and they do that several times a day sometimes tens of kilometers a day they’re just camels nothing else in the Russian army this is how it works you have different casts in the Russian army hierarchy you have the storm Z the lowest of the low then you have the camels very top is Rosaria and Chetchins who are the barrier troops
what happened here you drop your bicycle what happened are you Did you get hit these guys got hit or what no they didn’t it’s just It’s still bicycling away good day for you what is up we did vanilla fizz me and my homie Budanov we just parked our slab outside ski ski bang bang mr camel yeah so you know this is how it is there are It’s like India old society casts there are different casts in the Russian army you cannot break away from you can be demoted but it’s very hard to get promoted there so you’re a camel you’re a camel you can fall to the storm Z but you cannot go up to the V or whatever other casts are out there that do different tasks if you’re a camel you’re a camel a very peculiar Russian FPV drone was spotted on the Donetsk a Russian drone with solar panels now again I’m going to spit some truth and many people will go crazy well actually this is a great idea my friends look into how much um solar power how big of a solar panel you would need to charge one of these batteries on the FPV drones how much you would need how long you would need to charge it this solar panel right here is not enough to charge my calculator it’s not it’s not solar panels you need a massive amount of sun and a big big big area solar panels to charge only one FPV battery with 10 hours it’s a massive work so this solar panel right here here’s the truth it’s hard to understand sometimes in this fake green let’s save the planet stuff it doesn’t do nothing it’s useless but the Russians did it so here’s a video for you for it yeah that’s funny all right my friends now we go inside of Russia and I got to enjoy myself a little when you see a chart like that what do you think it is population growth in the world is it your uh index fund performance is it your stock options no this is Russian overdue mortgages 90 plus days that means 3 months plus not paid mortgages in Russia you I I assume majority of you have mortgages or loans on apartment or car i have a mortgage i wouldn’t even imagine missing one payment cuz you I wouldn’t imagine it’s important to me i don’t do that and you also I think this chart represents the guys and the percentages of mortgages that has missed the payments three months and some days which is flying exponentially up right now which gives you an idea how dangerously weak is the Russian real estate market right now i don’t really have to say anything else and majority of you are 40 plus years old it’s the mortgage uh uh mortgage how do I say it’s the age of paying mortgages pretty much i’m in that age you’re in that age right so you understand this would you miss your mortgage for three plus months i wouldn’t but these Russians they are and this line is going up and these banks are not getting their money and these problems will translate into very big into something else connected on this topic i mean we saw a video right here i’m not going to watch the full video but this is a whole squadron like 30 people 30 workers of Gasbrom subcontractor it’s one of the companies that does subcontracts for Gazprom they have not been paid since March again this just gives you one illustration of how bad things really are in the Russian economy would you imagine going to work in United States in Germany in UK Canada wherever you live going to work for the last four months ever since March and not getting a single dollar or pound or whatever currency nothing for the last four months what would you do well in Russia these guys are very humbly making one video for Mr putin Mr tar our God please help us please pay our money but they don’t and also Gazprom released a statement that all of these guys will be punished all of them for striking so the expectation from Gazprom which is basically Putin and Russian state is you must work you cannot protest and we don’t pay you but you must work now my friends will travel to Azarbajan you guessed it i know you guessed it well here are two Russian FSB operatives being arrested in Baku Azarbaijan these two operatives were working in Russian propaganda TV channel Sputnik which is you know banned in Europe and everywhere but in Azarbaijan it’s not banned and what do you know what a surprise that the TV channel workers are actually working for FSB who would have guessed it everybody well they’re being arrested now all of this started because uh in Yagatimborg in Russia the Omo the riot police the police special forces started arresting Azarbajani citizens to crack down on some uh crime and and um you know there is Azerbani mafia in Russia it’s one of the organized crime syndicates like there is chron mafia like there is Georgia mafia there it all exists there so they started cracking down on these Azarbaijani Azerbajan though the people in Azerban they’re very proud country very proud people and they really stick together so you want you don’t want to poke that hornets’s nest immediately they fired back arresting Russian operatives Sputnik operatives and then the biggest Azarbajani TV station the host said this and I quote this is important because Russia considers Azarbajan and Armenian all of that area to be their empire see now I quote you the biggest Azarbajani TV show what happened Mr putin are you so worried that Azarbajan has become a strong state has returned lands restored sovereignty defends itself in its interests and the president Ilam Ali is recognized globally you are used to dominating people forcibly included in Russia whether tarist or Soviet times Russians were the master race others were second class though those empires are gone the mindset persists in the past Stalin used the enav now Putin uses Om the year 37 continues harsher and more serious but thus the Kremlin understand that it’s not 1937 anymore the former Soviet republics have been independent for over 30 years history forgets nothing stalin’s repressions january 20th Kohi Ali 30 years of occupation all endured not only by Armenia but the hands of Russia yeah they’re going head-to-head with Armenia and Azarbachan okay but this signals again the movement away from Azeris from Russian influence kazakhstan is doing the same azarbajan Gyrasan they’re all the Central Asian countries which Russia considers just their area moving away they’re looking towards China and towards the west but away from Russia this just signals the beginning of the end for the Russian Empire as we know it my friends something very bizarre came out north Korea and Russia released a uh combined ceremony um which in which they memorized or or uh honored the North Koreans who perished occupying Ukraine there were about four to 5,000 of them and here we can see Kim Jong-un the same guy who went to the sun by the way he went at night so it wasn’t so bright but yeah he he is very sad here shedding a tear for the fallen soldiers of North Korea and the people are crying also hey a little bit more and I will start crying because it’s a bit because of the cringe but Russians and North Koreans are now jointly memor doing this memorial ceremony for the fallen North Korean soldiers at the same time Kimyong intends to send about 5,000 extra soldiers to Russia to be used as meat again to die in the same way so they can do another ceremony what is up with the Asian vanilla face i don’t know maybe I offended like a lot of people right now not sure that is it my friends if you are still here thank you and please come back on 1st of August by the way you will get videos in July you get like six videos i have I have filmed them uh their video essays looking deep into specific Russian units or capabilities or Ukrainian units or Russian financial situation you will get them if you are a channel member uh three of these videos have already been scheduled for members so don’t worry you will get content but Ukrainian updates will continue on 1st of August at the meantime you have one i’m going to take the time because while I’m still young and try to find some rest because the war it affects my brain i do need my rest also i will see you on 1st of August my friends please make sure to be back i would really cry if you don’t until then Slavo and bye-bye
