The bell of 2023 has just rang, but the Russian Internet is filled with mourning, and there is no festive atmosphere at all. It turns out that in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, at the beginning of the new year, the Russian army was hit by the Ukrainian army. More than 89 Russian soldiers died in the attack by the Ukrainian army, and the number given by the Ukrainian army was 400.

However, whether it is the 89 people reported by the Russian army or the figure of 400 given by the Ukrainian army, they have set a record for the largest single casualty of the Russian army since the Russia-Ukraine war.

Haimas rocket

For Russia, it is not only a huge casualty, but also a serious blow to the morale of the Russian army. You must know that on December 31, 2022, Putin had just gone to the southern theater of Russia adjacent to the Udong region and toasted the New Year with the Russian officers and soldiers stationed there, drank wine and shouted hurray. Less than 24 hours later, the Russian barracks in the Udong region were attacked, exposing such huge casualties, and the dead were all new Russian conscripts who had just arrived on the battlefield. According to reports from Russian media, the attack occurred in the early morning hours of January 1, 2023 local time. At that time, the Ukrainian army used Haimas rockets to attack the 19th Vocational and Technical School building in Makeevka City, Donetsk, and caused a big explosion. At the time of the incident, this building served as a temporary barracks for the Russian army and was home to more than 400 newly mobilized soldiers from the Volga River region. As a result, they suffered heavy casualties.

According to the Russian army, the Ukrainian army fired a total of 6 Haimas rockets at the target. The Russian air defense forces intercepted 2 of them, while the other 4 hit the target.

As media reports deepened, the reasons for the heavy casualties of the Russian army caused by the Uzbek army's shelling incident gradually emerged. But when the reality was exposed, it cruelly shocked us.

One of the reasons is illegal use of mobile phones.

Even junior military fans know that mobile phones cannot be used casually on the battlefield. Because of the special working principle of mobile phones, the communication between mobile phones is not confidential for the intelligence reconnaissance of military powers. Intelligence departments of other countries can monitor phone calls and even activate and locate mobile phones that are not talking (or are not turned on) to determine the location.

It was reported that in April 2001, 22 years ago, after a collision occurred in the South China Sea, the US EP3C reconnaissance aircraft that was injured due to the collision made an emergency landing at the Lingshui base in Hainan, my country. Chinese experts analyzed the US reconnaissance aircraft at that time and concluded that at that time, the US reconnaissance aircraft could use special equipment to monitor and locate our country's mobile phone communications, and even determine the identity of the caller through sound.

You must know that this was 22 years ago! It is said that since then our army has strictly implemented and controlled the use and control of mobile phones in the military.

US military reconnaissance aircraft active on the Ukrainian battlefield

After the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war, it has long been an open secret that the Ukrainian military command system has been connected to the NATO intelligence system. Previously, media reported that the Russian army found on the seized Ukrainian army equipment that the Ukrainian army’s early warning command system was directly connected to NATO’s early warning aircraft .

Due to the special "agent" war background of the Russia-Ukraine war, NATO has opened its intelligence system to the Ukrainian army since the beginning of the war. At the same time, the U.S. military's early warning aircraft and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can legally fly at will in Ukraine to collect various intelligence on the dynamics of the Russian army in real time. The U.S. military's reconnaissance satellites and Musk's Starlink satellite system allow the Uzbek army to have far better perception capabilities on the battlefield than the Russian army. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is very clear.

It is precisely with the support of such strong intelligence that the Seamaster used by the Ukrainian army can repeatedly achieve results on the front line of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It can be said that in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the Russian army not only has no advantage in intelligence warfare, but also lags behind the Ukrainian army to a large extent.

However, under such battlefield conditions, the Russian army did not strictly control the use of mobile phones.

The Russian army using mobile phones

According to Russian media reports, since the incident occurred on New Year's Eve, these mobilization soldiers from the Saratov Oblast in Russia used their mobile phones to contact their families. As a result, the dense honeycomb signals allowed the Ukrainian army and the NATO intelligence system behind them to lock and confirm. After the information was transmitted to the Ukrainian army's combat troops, the rockets launched by the Ukrainian army flew towards the target. As a result, tragedy occurred.

Within the range of the Ukrainian army's Seamus, the Russian army still did not control mobile phones and other easily leaked communication tools, which caused a huge tragedy.

Whose responsibility is this?

The second reason turned out to be that the ammunition exploded!

According to the Russian army, the Ukrainian army fired a total of 6 rockets. The Russian army intercepted 2 of them, but 4 still hit the target.

However, these four rockets ultimately achieved the effect of "destroying the world"-the No. 19 Vocational and Technical School building in Makeevka City, which was temporarily requisitioned by the Russian army, was almost completely destroyed.

But even if Haimas was blown up to the sky by the Americans, it would be difficult to have such great power, so what is the reason behind it?

It turned out that Russian ammunition exploded. According to media reports, the Russian army illegally stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition in the basement of the No. 19 Vocational and Technical School building in Makeevka City where it was temporarily stationed. As a result, the rockets sent by the Ukrainian army detonated the ammunition stored in the basement by the Russian army, causing a large-scale explosion. In the end, the rockets sent by the Ukrainian army only acted as matches, and it was the large amount of ammunition stored by the Russian army that really destroyed the building.

When I saw this report, I was really shocked. A military power like Russia, facing the Uzbek army supported by American weapons and intelligence, could actually make such low-level mistakes, and two in a row!

Now a tragedy has occurred. The Russian army initially admitted to killing 63 people, and later the number increased to 89. The number given by Ukraine was that more than 400 people were killed and more than 300 injured.

Of course, the numbers on both sides may not be reliable. The real number of casualties may be somewhere in between.

But in any case, this is a real tragedy, and the occurrence of such a big tragedy on the first day of 2023 also indicates that the prospect of the Russia-Ukraine war will not be optimistic.
