Special Edition SITREP A9-22: Ukraine Mauls The Bear

Ukraine Army and the U.S.-made Javelin ATGM

 
Ukraine Army and the UK NLAW ATGM

26 February 2022: This special edition SITREP is to highlight the incredible courage, professionalism and key weapons employed by the Ukrainian Army in its against-all-odds defense of their country against invading Union State (Russia and Byelarus) miltary forces.

Beyond the heroic Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 fighterpilot ace known as the "Ghost of Kyiv" who shot down a half dozen Russian jets in the first two days of the current war, or the Ukrainian Army soldier who sacrified his life to blow up a bridge providing direct access to the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, there are many as yet untold accounts of battlefield heroics. Among these heroics are the hundreds of individual Ukrainian soldiers with their shoulder-mounted ATGM (Anti-Tank Guided Missile) who are personally responsible for exacting fearsome tolls of destruction upon Russian and Byelarusian main battle tanks on every axis of the invasion forces seriously blunting their advance into Ukrainian territory.

The US-made Javelin and the UK NLAW (NextGen Light Anti Tank Weapon made by Sweden's Saab Bofors) ATGM's have destroyed hundreds of enemy tanks and armored troop carriers at ranges from 20 meters to 800 meters, meaning the ATGM gunners are in very danger close range of their armored prey. Both the Javelin and NLAW are not technically guided missiles, but are instead 'fire and forget, anti-tank missiles. One a lock on the target has ben achieved the misile flies down range and pops up in the terminal phase of flight in front of the target and strikes the armored vehice at its weakest point - from above. A devastating weapon to be sure that has killed nearly 1,000 enemy armored vehicles in the first three days of the war. There wil be many more kills as the US and UK have provided nearly 4,000 of these tank killers to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

As noted in the previous SITREP, a Ukrainian observer of these weapons in action noted something which is mentioned in the prophecy of Ezekiel 38/39. He stated that when struck by these ATGMs Russian tanks catch fire and burn fiercely. Notwithstanding expensive counter-measures which have yet to be developed and proven in combat, Western ATGMs are without question game changing weapons which may ultimately obsolete tank warfare as the world has known it over the past century. Ukraine is the proving ground.

  2. Truly an answer to prayer for all the Christian's over there.
    Thanks for the update.

    1. Yes, it is!

      Ukraine is a PRIME example of a nation of people being front and center in a paradigm changing event, and not being directly identified by name in Biblical prophecy.

    The only question I have at this point is if the ancient land of magog extended into Ukraine. Because if Ukraine was not part of magog territory in Ezekiels day, then I don't think Russia will succeed in taking Ukraine

    1. There were no accurate maps 2600 years ago. Maps which exist were created about 2000 or so years after Ezekiel received the prophecy. Prior to that Ezekiel says it was an oral tradition from more ancient times than his own.

      What we can know is what Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse, which apparently needs constant repeating:

      "These things must take place.

      Why? Because they create the environment for subsequent prophetic fulfillment.

      Don't look now, but the flood of falling dominoes is upon the world.

      Armor up!

    2. And FWIW, speaking of ancient territories and maps, the eastern leg of ancient Rome, which became known as Byzantium, included the shores of the Black Sea and Crimea.

      In ancient times, before eastern and western Slavs settled in different areas of eastern Europe, that is west of the Ural Mountains, those who lived in the region where war rages today were called Polanes or Polans.

      They became the Ukrainians (they founded Kyiv) and also the Polish people of Poland.

      Back then the Rosh were in the farthest north and east and eventually expanded westward to the region of Moskva (Moscow), Tobolsk (Tubal) and the northern Caucasus.

      ALL of these peoples, including Armens (Armenia), Iranians (Fars, Medes and Parthans, Azeris) and Georgians were Japhethites, sons of Japheth, a son of Noah.

  4. An other reminder: Keep an eye open on Israel. Expect the unexpected from Iran, Syria and the Psalm 83 crew. The clock is ticking and every tick brings Iran that much closer to a nuke. I'm thinking preemption will occur soon.

  5. UPDATE New and refined numbers on Russian battlefield losses:

    Land Forces: 650 tanks and 500 other types of armored vehicles, plus 100 trucks of various types.

    Aircraft: 35 assault choppers, 27 strike aircraft. The 2 IL-76 transports carried 320 paratroopers each. They were attempting a dynamic forced entry (assault) onto airfields when brought down in flames.

    Vladimir Putin is not the same person he was in recent months. This is according to Russian sources and Western intel. He has isolated himself from many formerly close advisors, he is mentally a different person who only trusts a small clique of sycophants and "yes men." He has ignored and summarily dismissed all advisors who called for no invasion of Ukraine. Putin has become a true psychopathic killer armed with nukes.

    This strongly invokes what Ezekiel prophesied about evil thoughts entering Gog's mind. We know where this is leading.

    How soon will the new SITREP be posted? (Forgive me if I sound impatient, lot's going on)

  7. Today, Day 4 of the war, Putin put Russian nuclear forces on heightened alert status due to "NATO aggression."

    NATO aggression amounts to the forward deployment of the Alliance's Response Force, the EU decision to arm Ukraine with top-notch weapons, and Germany's about-face in rebuilding its military this year at a cost of hundreds of millions € and at a rate of 2% GDP every year from 2023 and thereafter.

  8. It's moving in a crazy direction since Vlad became a few rubles short of a happy meal.

    Speaking of few rubles short, if God put the hooks in his jaws and handed Putin over to evil thoughts then Putin is no longer capable of thinking straight

  10. Yes, my point exactly. Crazy evil people will do crazy evil things... like using a nuclear weapon.

  11. All we need is for Israel to undersell their oil to the EU and cut Russia out. That would go over well.

  12. Daniel makes it very, absolutely prophetically clear as a bell that the world will be bi-polar both just prior to and during the 70th Week, that is Russia/China as the East versus the West.

    ReplyDelete
  13. All we need is for the prophecies of Jeremiah 49 and Isaiah 17, Psalm 83 to fulfill and we'll hear "come up hither!"

  14. Listen up...

    TWO cities in Japan were "nuked" in August 1945.

    And the world went on... for 77 years now.

    If a city or two get "nuked" in 2022 the world will go on to the End as Bible prophecy tells us it will.

    Can't be any clearer about it than this, and I'm being 100% literal.

    1. I have a question. If the Russians decided to use the nuke, which cities would be in danger to get nuked?

      Delete
    2. The rockets of Russian strategic forces have always targeted Western capitals, major military installations and strategic industry.

    3. Thank you! I'd like to ask a follow up question... in case the Russians nuked any target within a NATO country, am I right to assume that NATO would nuke the Russians back? An attack on either side (Russia vs NATO) would turn into a nuclear exchange, right?

      Delete
    4. Correct. NATO (US, UK, FR) will not strike first with nukes, only respond to a Russian nuclear strike.

    5. What a time, really! The birth pangs are pretty strong!
      I've heard an analyst talking about the Ukrainan crisis yesterday and he mentioned that Russia will need a lot of time to stabilize Ukraine once they've succeeded to invade it completely. They could be occupied with that issue for a while. Hearing that I thought, that would be a fitting scenario too for them to be dragged away from (with the hooks). (That's one of the "positive" scenarios though with no nuclear exchange involved. We'll see.)

    6. That analyst has it dead wrong. Russia will never, ever complete a full conquest of Ukraine. They quite simply do not have the army, finances or even national will to succeed in this. All 200+ Russian POWs attest to the lack of will, they DO NOT want to fight Ukrainians, they were lied to by their leaders. They were told to go or die as traitors to Russia. Many are now on viral videos saying so, and are dead men for sure if they return to Russia.

      It is amazing to see how easily Russian tanks and other armor catch fire and burn, which confirms Ezekiel 38/39 prophecy.

    7. It's tragic. What is exactly the Russian's (V.P.'s) aim with Ukraine?

      Delete
    8. As stated from the beginning, to resubjugate Ukraine as well as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, Moldovia and Bulgaria into the Russian sphere as they were under the former Soviet Union. He then threatened to nuke any nation standing in opposition. Vladimir Vladimirovych Putin has lost his mind to a demonic spirit.

      Delete
    9. My first thought on that was that hopefully, he won't succeed, but then i remembered what was said here above about the Russians' inability to conquer Ukraine in full. That nasty war that seems to grow quickly in its threat on the other hand though.

  15. This is an excerpt from an article in The Jerusalem Post edition for 28 February 2022. It is important; the last sentence is spot on.

    ----

    "A pastor who was born in Ukraine told ALL ISRAEL NEWS that Putin is on a “historical mission” and is “sort of demon possessed” hellbent on demilitarization and releasing all of Ukraine from the "Nazi movement."

    This pastor, who asked to remain anonymous, said the Ukrainians he has been in contact with are expecting things to get worse and many are fleeing west as they expect a full invasion of their country.

    “Ukrainian Christians believe that for now, [Putin] is trying to burn down all the bridges behind, and he has nothing to lose, so he will,” he said.

    And this leads to his primary fear “that the next hostage, that the bargaining chip in the hands of Putin, will be Israel.”

    “Hezbollah and [Bashar al-] Assad are just sitting on the borders waiting for a green light from Putin,” he said."

  16. There is strong intel that Putin may have ordered a company of Russian TOS-1 MLRS 'Buratino' that are near Kharkiv, Ukraine to level the city center with a barrage of thermobaric rockets if it is not taken by Russian ground forces within the next few hours.

  17. "T-80BVM main battle tanks that were just plain abandoned in full operational order."
    Yesterday I opened my bible randomly to 2 Kings 6/7, the story of the Siege of Samaria. It puzzled me. Could the Russian army abandon this mission like the Arameans did?

    1. Not sure if they all will, but there are large numbers of ethnic Russian soldiers who want no part of this war. Some surrender/defect, some sabotage their vehicles (punch "bullet holes" in fuel tanks) and other things. More coming...
