South Front 8/16/15: It is upsetting to see this slow squeeze like a boa constrictor on Donbass. the moderators speech is so improving …in English there are words from the Greek like ‘chemicals ‘ and ‘chimera’ in which the ch ( yes, English is an infuriating language and I bless spell check every day) is pronounced like a “K” and not a” Ch”. I salute your excellence and grit–South Front should be featured on RT as a major alternative media source.
“Defence experts have hit out at officials who have offered them the chance to contribute just short messages to a major defence review.
The Government has created an online form giving people the chance to contribute ideas and suggestions as part of the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR).
However, the form only allows responses of a maximum of 1,500 characters – equivalent to about 200 to 300 words – something a lobby group has described as ‘an insult to your intelligence’.”

From Col Cassad on the Ukie preparation for war. Yandex translation:
Reports from several sources of 90,000 troops on Ukie side.
From latest reports MO DNR.
APU prepared to attack 435 tanks, 132 MLRS and 830 units of artillery and mortars
Command of the armed forces by August 16, concentrated for an attack at the separation line three shock troops.
In the “With” the enemy has up to 22 battalions.

In the sector of “M” the enemy has up to 20 battalions.
In its composition: tanks up to 75 units, armored combat vehicles 545 units, field artillery guns and mortars up to 180 units, MLRS to 22 units.
We urge the international community to take urgent and necessary measures to prevent inhuman and criminal intentions Petro Poroshenko in unleashing a new round of hostilities and genocide in Eastern Europe. The fire of a new war in Europe can still be prevented.
PS. Something today, even the comments of officials ooze alarmism. The phrase Fire of a new war in Europe can still be prevented sounded like a last attempt to appeal to Europe to put pressure on the junta. Steinmeier also spoke http://www.interfax.ru/world/460526 in the spirit that all hangs in the balance and the situation threatens to fall in the escalation scenario. At the front while going medium attacks to which it has got dark joined the artillery.

(my comments)
Combined with what Cassad published yesterday about Russian polite green men in Zakh’s offices planning for the counteroffensive, and weeks of Voentorg flowing equipment, volunteers returning from Russia, and heavy equipment moving from various RF cities toward the border, the signs of the final suicide of Ukraine is close.
It could be days, it could be several more weeks.
The US needs an out. A Ukie disaster and loss could be that face-saving out.
Russia needs to finish the junta. A Ukie disaster would let the Right Sektor go to Kiev and chase the junta.
NATO wants to see more Russian tactics and equipment so they can build electronic counter measures.
Everyone wants more war, except the civilians in Donbass.
Unless you hear from Merkel and Hollande, it’s on.
Perhaps when Putin goes to China, early September.
The militia has moved heavy weapons and are using MLRS in response to some of the Ukie artillery.
Expect huge losses of life on both sides. This has been the pattern for several months. Artillery is very devastating and the Ukies have better targeting because of US technologies.
We also see more maneuvering of forces than ever.
This is pre-NATO vs RF warfare. This time, it will be big, fast-moving and for the whole game.
The notion that it is to be a frozen conflict, I think, is incorrect. The RF must get the junta out and the nazis chased to Poland.
If the militia actually has 65,000 men ready to go, they may have enough to sweep Novorossiya to Odessa. Certainly, they have enough to take Mariupol.
The importance of gaining a collapse of Ukie command structure and panic set in motion in the ranks with a massive crossing of lines, joining the militia by some Ukie units, could be a success of Intel and lead to the political collapse of Kiev.
I think Mariupol will be a polite green men operation. When it flies the Novorossiyan flag, Kiev burns.
Red,
where may I get the link to Colonel Cassad?
http://colonelcassad.livejournal.com and http://cassad.net
I use Yandex Browser which automatically translates.
You will need a translation if you don’t read Russian.
Reading him, you have to open his “read more” links which expand into the meat of his articles, often with photos.
He sometimes uses correspondents from his network, so not every word is his. But he is the authority with the best information and no hysterics.
He is based in Sevastopol, Crimea. He travels to Donbass and Russia from time to time.
He does not always have every news item first, but his is usually the most accurate. When he makes a “guess”, he is very reliable.
He also is a secret keeper. He has built a lot of trust with his sources in the militia and the Russian command structure because he does not disclose what they want kept secret, good or bad.
Except for our heavy losses,I’m hoping the rest of your scenario is correct.

The DPR inteligence has reported that Kiev moved 3 units of “Tochka U” missiles systems to the sector of Artemovsk, including the Chasov Yar settlement in 50 kilometers from Donetsk or 100 kilometres from Lugansk. The maximum range of the missiles system is 150 kilometers.
