What do you know about the strike on the training ground?
Yesterday, information about a Russian missile attack on a training ground in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where Ukrainian military services of the 157th mechanized brigade was deployed, expanded in social media. It was reported that there were a great number of dead and wounded.
The attack hit the Novomoskovsky training ground, causing destruction in the village of Cherkaske (Dnipropetrovsk region). Get up from the new line to the line and become 100-130 km. As blogger and Volunteer Sergiy Sternenko wrote, the attack was initiated by a Russian reconnaissance UAV.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation yesterday posted a video on its Telegram channel that recorded the arrival of a cluster warhead at a special warehouse that had been purchased. Yogo can be found here. Russian terrorism is confirmed, and the attack was orchestrated by the Iskander-M OTRK.
General Drapatiy voiced the reversal
The commander of the Ground Forces, Mikhailo Drapaty, today responded to what happened, saying that the investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy is important.
“The tragedy at the training ground is the sad legacy of the enemy's attack. The war requires quick solutions, new safety standards, otherwise we spend more, lower… I am especially committed to with the skin so that everything is cleared up every second. It will hurt less in the middle,” said Drapathy.
As the stormy news spread, the military command did not react immediately to what had happened. General Drapatiy noted that he “kept on the first tribute, so as not to be untruthful.”
“And now I am in advance: those who praised the decision that day, and those who did not praise them now, will all bear responsibility. No one is bothered by explanations or formal reports. I convey that the truth “I won’t allow that to happen,” he said.
The commander of the Ground Forces recognized the verification as part of military counterintelligence, so that “every detail would not be deprived of respect, and the names could not be “smudged.” the most worthy punishment.
“Those who, through the fate of the war, continue negligently and formally resign their obligations, those who “prolong” military procedures with outdated procedures, those who do not want their security, those who assert themselves not in battle, but as bullies the underlings, – all the stench of ruining the ZSU. We have evidence of untimely praised decisions and unlearned lessons,” said Drapaty.
The general called on all generals, officers, sergeants and soldiers of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to “beware of formalism, bureaucracy and frivolity”, and even of them “to bear responsibility for the lives of their brothers. I in battle, and in the land.”
Ground forces inform about the dead and wounded
Later, an official statement from the Ground Forces of the ZSU appeared. There they confirmed that one of their children became the target of a missile strike.
“Unfortunately, they died and were injured,” the statement goes, but it does not specify how much will be done.
Nowadays, “Suspilne”, sent to the dzherel in the medical warehouse, writes that in one of the regional hospitals of the Dnipropetrovsk region there are “a large number of wounded” as a result of the attack on the training ground in the region where the military had been. Some of the wounded were evacuated to other medical facilities.
The insistence in the Ground Forces is loud that it is important to carefully verify and establish all the conditions under the law, and the military law enforcement service and law enforcement agencies are given all the necessary information to ensure maximum insight into research.
The DBR has initiated criminal prosecution for the article “non-balance”
The State Bureau of Investigation reported that criminal investigations have been launched into the death and injury of Ukrainian military servicemen as a result of the Russian missile attack on the test site in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
“The DBI speaks of the importance of a vigorous and urgent investigation to establish all the circumstances of the tragedy and bring the culprits to the point of evidence. The investigations aimed at identifying all the details are urgent. “A special united group of law enforcement officers arrived at the scene of the shelling,” the statement says.
Criminal conduct is cleared under Part 4 of Art. 425 CC of Ukraine (not established before military service, introduced in the minds of a military camp or in a combat situation).
What do you know about the 157th brigade?
The 157th mechanized brigade began to take shape in the spring of 2024. Before the end of the war, the war was actually due to the fall of leaves (and, besides, the spring). Immediately – to one of the hottest directives. At the end of 2024, the brigade fought near Kurakhovym, and at the end of 2024, the brigade was sent to Pokrovsk.
ZMI wrote about problems in the brigade of self-sufficient detachments (SZCH). Zokrema, as Hromadske wrote, their number could be less than a third, which would amount to hundreds to over a thousand military personnel, but brigade commander Petro Chub denied the veracity of these numbers.
Members of the brigade spoke about poor training, “managerial chaos” and the fact that recruits were sent to assault squads. The commander of the brigade told journalists that the military servicemen realized that the special warehouse is often transferred to the DShV, as the number of episodes of unauthorized surplus of parts has grown.
We can guess that similar episodes have happened before. Zokrema, November 3, 2023, in the Zaporizhzhya region, a Russian missile was received by the purchase of military personnel of the 128th Georgian-assault Transcarpathian brigade, which were collected for the formation before the Day of the Missile Forces artillery. As a result, military service members were killed and injured.
The then President of Ukraine, reacting to the death of the soldiers of the 128th OGSB, stated that “this is a tragedy that could have been lost.”
The commander of the 128th brigade, Dmitry Lisyuk, was kept out of jail for an hour of investigation. Having arrived at the city’s nagornosti, he arrived at the place literally a couple of weeks after the tide arrived. More about the tragedy in the accompanying material from RBC-Ukraine.
During the preparation of the material, the following were searched: statements of the Ground Forces of the ZSU and General Mikhail Drapaty, Telegram of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, “Suspilne”, “Hromadska” and other data from secret sources.
