What are the M-55S Tanks Sent by Slovenia?
[YouTube] Slovenia announced it would send 28 M-55S tanks to Ukraine. The M-55S is a heavily modified version of the T-55, but its age is deceiving.

#3  I'm sorry but it really feels like the tankers on both sides seem to have very minimal training. They can move the vehicles but they take FOREVER to react when under fire. It's like they have ZERO SOP's for if they take fire. No turning to face it, no popping smoke, and then in the youtube one, the 3 russians tanks all bunched up into a fat target for arty if the Ukrainians had been faster off the ball.

Russia Pilots Don't Know Where Battlelines Are: Get Shot Down
[Newsweek] The UK's Intelligence Agency has said the Russian Air Force is taking greater risks in its war on Ukraine and has suffered losses because of it.

The Ministry of Defence provided an update on the situation in Ukraine on Monday, September 19 and explained its findings on Twitter.

The intelligence body also highlighted the air force's desire for greater risk may be a consequence of Ukraine pushing back against Russian forces on the ground.

"Russia has highly likely lost at least four combat jets in Ukraine within the last 10 days, taking its attrition to approximately 55 since the start of the invasion," the post read.

"Russian pilots situational awareness is often poor; there is a realistic possibility that some aircraft have strayed over enemy territory and into denser air defense zones as the front lines have moved rapidly.

"Russia's continued lack of air superiority remains one of the most important factors underpinning the fragility of its operational design in Ukraine."

And an aside - I wish I could see how many red-on-reds there have been, and what the availability/sortie rates are for the Russian Air Force. As an example, Cold War era USAF expected us to make a 4.0 - that is; four sorties per plane in a 24 hour period.

10:24 Zelensky published a video of today's attack on the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant:

09:41 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of September 19.

  • personnel - about 54,650 (+170) people liquidated,

  • ships/boats - 15 (+0),

  • automotive equipment and tankers - 3581 (+3),

  • special equipment - 125 (+3).

09:34 British intelligence reports that Russian troops in recent days have probably lost at least four combat aircraft in Ukraine. This is partly a result of the Russian Air Force taking greater risks in trying to provide close air support to Russian ground forces under pressure from the Ukrainian offensive, analysts say.

Also, British intelligence reports that the situational awareness of Russian pilots often leaves much to be desired and it is likely that some aircraft got into denser air defense zones as the front line moved quickly. Russia's continued lack of air superiority remains one of the most important factors behind the fragility of its operational plan in Ukraine, intelligence said.

09:22 Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said that the Russians, in cooperation with some Ukrainian political forces, are trying to unleash a provocation about conflicts in the military-political leadership: “Last week, they launched this campaign again, again pitted Bankovaya and the Commander-in-Chief in order to weaken our decision-making centers. But except for three "bloggers", two "experts" and one "opinion leader" - no one got into this informational mud. Because our people have already learned well to distinguish what kind of information undermines the state during the war."

09:03 The Russians fired at the industrial zone of the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant at night - the rocket fell 300 meters from the nuclear reactors , Energoatom reported. The shock wave damaged the building of the nuclear power plant, more than 100 windows were broken. One of the hydroelectric units of the Aleksandrovskaya HPP, which is part of the South Ukrainian Energy Complex, has been switched off. Three high-voltage power lines were also switched off. All three power units of the nuclear power plant are operating normally, there are no casualties among the plant personnel.

08:59 At night Russians fired at Nikolaev. One of the rockets hit the courtyard of a private house, none of the residents were injured. Also, about 300 meters of the contact wire of the tram network were damaged in one of the sections, the mayor of the city Alexander Senkevich said.

08:54 At night, the Russians hit the Nikopol and Marganets communities of the Dnipropetrovsk region three times from heavy artillery and Gradov. Previously, people were not injured, but residential buildings, water supply and power lines were damaged. In the Marganets community, shelling left more than 2,500 families without electricity, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.

08:29 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, three civilians were killed - in Toretsk, Yagodny and Bogorodichny. Eight more people were injured, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.

07:57 At night, the Russians launched a missile attack on Zaporozhye. According to preliminary information, seven missiles hit infrastructure facilities, said OVA head Alexander Starukh. In the morning, the enemy launched another missile attack - according to preliminary information, one missile hit the regional center, near the Dnieper River. Information about the victims is being specified. Also, the enemy fired near the regional center, in one of the villages of the Zaporozhye region, at least one person was injured.

07:40 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled enemy attacks in the areas of the settlements of Nikolaevka Second, Veselaia Dolina and Bakhmut. Aviation of the Defense Forces during the day dealt 21 strikes against the enemy, the defeat of 16 areas of concentration of manpower and strong points and five positions of anti-aircraft missile systems was confirmed, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in the morning report .

07:19 From Monday, September 19, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland will not let Russians with Schengen visas, including those issued in other EU countries. The Association of Tour Operators of Russia reported that in addition, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands no longer accept documents for tourist visas from Russians.

For example, Italy, Spain, Greece, France, Hungary and Cyprus continue to accept documents - but with restrictions: the cost of a visa has risen, the terms have increased, multiple visas will be very small. In addition, the simplified visa regime for Russians, following the EU, was canceled by Switzerland today.

06:56 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) states that the Ukrainian counter-offensive in the Kherson region is progressing - the Russians are trying to slow it down and retreat to more protected positions, and not stop or repel it. Analysts say Ukrainian forces are likely to retake most, if not all, of western Kherson region in the coming weeks if they continue to cut Russian lines and push forward.

The Russians are trying to retreat to more secure positions as part of a controlled withdrawal to avoid a chaotic retreat, as in the Kharkiv region. At the same time, ISW notes that Ukrainian progress may be slow if the Russian forces act in a coordinated manner, but can also accelerate significantly.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continue to fortify positions on the eastern bank of the Oskol River in the Kharkiv region, despite Russian efforts to contain them. The Donetsk region is the only region where Russian troops are still trying to carry out offensive operations. So far, there is no evidence that Ukraine is preparing a large-scale counter-offensive operation in the area.

According to ISW experts, Putin seems to be increasingly relying on irregular, poorly trained special volunteer and puppet units instead of rebuilding the battered units of the Russian ground forces.

00:44 Russia's war against Ukraine is in a new phase when Ukrainian forces have seized the strategic initiative, US General Mark Milley said after visiting a military base in Poland. According to him, "the war is not going too well for Russia now," and it remains unclear how the Russian Federation can react to the latest setbacks on the battlefield.
