STRATEGIC
The Russians have de-facto stopped all their offensive operations yesterday. The RUMINT has it, they’ve lost up to 40% of troops involved in the invasion by now (mind: this is including killed, wounded, missing/prisoner of war etc.), and are thus busy bringing in additional units from the Far East, Armenia, and Tajikistan, and drafting even cadets from military higher education to replace their losses. Not sure if their losses are really 40%, but gauging by ‘disappearance’ of numerous units from the frontlines, I would say about 20 battered BTGs were withdrawn from the line to be reorganised and reconstituted.
The Ukrainian GenStab is reporting that the West OSK refused to deploy the 5th Combined Arms Army (not involved yet) to Kyiv, supposedly ‘due to heavy losses in the south’. Not yet sure what to think of this, but if so, then the 58th CAA is in far more serious trouble than thought – and that would explain the withdrawal of its elements from Voznesensk and Kryvyi Rihh, and the rushed redeployment of its elements from Armenia, just for example, and the ‘non-appearance’ of the much-expected amphibious landing in the Odessa area.
BTW, following a law suit filled by Ukraine against Russia, the UN International Court of Justice in Den Haag (including 15 judges, between them one each from Russia and China) has ordered Russia to end hostilities in Ukraine (vote was 13:2), and to ensure that any military units controlled or maintained by it, as well as any organisations or individuals indirectly controlled by it, do not take further actions. Furthermore, while explaining that the court had no evidence that Ukraine was committing genocide on Russians on its territory, the court announced that it has jurisdiction to investigate whether genocide is taking place in Ukraine – by Russia and on Ukrainians.
Don't worry: this decision is going to be completely ignored by Putin, but also by the mass of Western governments...
AIR
This 16 Mar was another bad day for the VKS. Except for confirmation for a loss of 6-7 helicopters destroyed in the Ukrainian artillery barrage of the Kherson Airport, a day before, there followed a confirmation for a number of earlier losses (like burial of a Lieutenant-Colonel shot down while flying a Su-25 on 7 March, or photos the wreckage of a Su-34 shot down on 5 March near Chernihiv). Atop of this, the Ukrainians have claimed two Su-30SMs as shot down near Odessa, and the Ka-52 76R/RF-13411 was confirmed shot down over unknown area.
Part of the reason is the latest shipment of SAMs donated by the USA: delivered already few days ago, this should have contained 9K33 Osa/SA-8, S-300/SA-10, and S-300V/SA-12s (apparently acquired from Egypt in exchange for a sale of Boeing F-15E fighter-bombers), plus another load of MANPADS, including Soviet/Russian-made 98K34 Strela-3/SA-14s.
Net result: I’m not surprised one can now see VKS Ka-52 and Mi-28-pilots acting as visible on this video ([b] I.e. approaching enemy positions at high speed only to shoot their unguided rockets ‘ballistically’, to extend their range, before turning sharply away and releasing flares. Free along the motto: ‘spray and pray’…
…and thus the Russians spent the day shelling infrastructure and housing in multiple cities, ‘instead’. Except for Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv, hit were also Vinnitsa and Zaporozhye. By now, at least 72 schools and 21 hospitals have been targeted by the Russians (in addition to about 3,500 infrastructure facilities, 2,700 residential buildings, 28 churches, etc., etc., etc.)[/b]
That said, the worst of all happened in Mariupol: after the 150th MRD was mauled while attacking from the east, on 15 Mar, yesterday it was the turn on the 810th Naval Infantry Brigade, reinforced by T-64s of the Separatists to get ambushed. The latter have reached the Freedom Square, in western central Mariupol, but by then the Marines fell behind and thus the lonesome tanks were cut to pieces.
As a ‘retaliation’ for these – and earlier – losses, the Russians not only seized the Mariupol Regional Intensive Care Hospital, where they are holding its patients as hostages, but yesterday the VKS bombed out the Drama Theater, where hundreds of civilians were sheltering (see attached photo, where one can clearly read words ‘Dety’ – ‘children’ – written on the tarmac in front and behind the building….), and then the Neptune swimming pool, where further hundreds were taking refugee. The number of victims in both cases remains unknown.
Note for the end: after three weeks of day-by-day reporting, and until the situation changes, I’ll now slow down the pace of my reporting to ‘every second day’.

The enemy does not leave attempts to reach the administrative borders of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Unsuccessfully.
To constrain the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy is trying to block the settlements north of the capital.
At the same time, the enemy does not refuse to launch the missile and bomb strikes on civilian infrastructure in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and other regions where active hostilities are not being waged.
In the Volyn direction, intensive use of the territory and infrastructure of Belarus by the group of Russian troops is recorded for delivering strikes on Ukraine and logistical support for the group of occupying forces operating in the Polissya direction.
There is still a possibility of participation of certain units of the armed forces of Belarus in hostilities on the side of the Russian Federation.
In the Polissya direction, the enemy made attempts to capture the previously occupied lines, which were lost as a result of the successful actions of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It does not have success in this direction, it suffers losses. They are trying to regroup troops and establish logistics.
In the Siversky direction, the enemy did not carry out active offensive operations. Performs chaotic attacks on the positions of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, tries to conduct reconnaissance.
In the Slobozhansky direction, the infidels tried to carry out offensive operations from the area of the city of Izyum but were unsuccessful.
The Russian invaders are reinforcing the grouping with additional units of the 1st Tank Army and coastal units of the Baltic Fleet.
In the Donetsk and Tauride directions, the enemy carried out offensive operations. Had partial success in the Rubizhne area (fixed on the western and northwestern outskirts of the city, moving towards the southern part of the city). On the Popasnyansky and Volnovakha directions, they conducted unsuccessful assault operations in the areas of the settlements of Verkhnyotoretsk and Marinka. Took a loss. Regroup troops.
The assault on the city continues in the Mariupol direction.
In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the invaders did not carry out active offensive operations.
In the Pivdennobugsky direction, the enemy carried out reconnaissance, carried out engineering equipment of the positions occupied. He tried to carry out offensive actions in the Kryvyi Rih direction, took control of the settlement Mala Schesternya, however, did not have a general success and fixed in their positions.
In the Taurida direction, the enemy continued to build up the system of logistics for the grouping of troops. A collection point for damaged equipment has been deployed at the Dzhankoy airfield.

Nevodjene rakete svakako, pa jos ovako ofrljativno ispaljene imaju samo 1 cilj, teror. Pasce negdje, sto bi moh stari rekao "jos nijedna nije ostala u zraku"...

Ma oni jesu vojna sila, bar sto se tice kvantiteta, ali su ocigledno lose vodjeni.. Amerikanci bi raznijeli sve vojne baze i onesposobili pvo bez da nogom kroce na teritoriju Ukrajine.. Isto to su mogli i Rusi.. Imaju satelite, krstarece rakete.. Mogli udarati sa mora, sa kopna i iz zraka i devastirati odbranu Ukrajine.. Oni poslali zeljezo i regrute da Ukrajinci testiraju na njima svoje naoruzanje.. Totalni vojni debakl..
