Liberation of Lyman: A Nightmare for the Orcs

October 1, 2022February 11, 2026

The liberation of Lyman was expected by the evening, but several hours earlier, enemy media confirmed the city now stands under AFU control. However, those closer to the events call it a rout and catastrophe, while official channels act as usual and use inside-out formulations. We all remember the classic of this genre in the form of “negative growth”, right? Here, too, they didn’t skimp and delivered their next pearl.

The Absurdity of “Advantageous Positions”

Surprisingly, the Orcs’¹ brains are so thoroughly fried that no one notices the glaring absurdity. If you believe this wording, the defeat of the 20th Army happened because it held an extremely disadvantageous position. But if part of the troops withdrew “to more advantageous positions”, a question arises: What were they doing in less advantageous ones? Why didn’t they move earlier?
You can even reach the point of sedition here. Russian propagandists articulated that the führer himself demanded to “stand to the last” in Lyman. So putin personally demanded they stand on “less advantageous positions”? This means Pootin himself bears responsibility for the rout the 20th Russian army suffered. Additional units attached to it also got crushed — naval infantry and various special forces groups included.

When the scale of losses becomes clear beyond territorial ones, someone will demand to punish those responsible. They’ll want to do it right on the nearest lamppost. It will turn out that this guilty party is the vicious dwarf living in the Kremlin. So if they decided to search for and punish the guilty, they should go ahead and do it.

If we continue analyzing this statement and, looking at the map, try to find these very “more advantageous positions”, then we need to look for them near some more or less large water barrier. Since the Siversky Donets is already gone, the next such obstacle is the Don River. Thus, it’s necessary to soberly assess the situation right now and withdraw troops beyond the Don while there’s still time. There, it’s still possible to build some fortifications, lay mines, or better yet — immediately blow up the bridges and pull cavalry there.

The Failed Breakthrough Attempt

By the way, there’s a grain of joke in this joke. We closely monitored enemy publics at the final stage of the liberation of Lyman operation. For a couple of days, they talked about gathering all available reserves to unblock the Lyman grouping of Pidars². This included freshly driven chmobiks, Wagnerites, and everything they have from Svatove to Luhansk. They gathered all this and threw it into the breakthrough attempt.

However, they couldn’t complete their task, and as their sources report, the AFU shredded them on the march. When our troops move further, we’ll surely get videos from the place where these very reserves reached but ran out. As far as can be understood, they didn’t get within more than 10 km of the grouping they intended to unblock. And they didn’t do it for a good reason: the Pidars became Cargo 200³.

It’s difficult for us to judge exactly how thoroughly the reserves were scraped out, but it’s known from enemy sources that something was advanced even from the direction of Svatove. And there’s a high probability that soon the AFU will enter there as well — as well as other settlements. It’s just that Svatove is already within twenty kilometers of the front line, and given that the city was turned into one of the logistics hubs, this assumption is also held by the enemy.

Svatove: Empty Then Fortified

In September, our forces didn’t reach there. For a couple of days the city stood empty. They could have taken it without a fight, but as noted earlier, the AFU doesn’t act mindlessly. If there’s no possibility to hold the flanks and provide logistics to the strike group, the troops stop and regroup.

We don’t need unnecessary losses, so everything follows proper technique. Meanwhile, the enemy returned to Svatove and they began establishing rear support to compensate for lost Kupiansk. Enemy publics suggest they expected a strike on Svatove from Kupiansk’s direction, but surprise happened. The first greeting from the AFU came not from Kupiansk and not by land — literally from the sky.

The AFU worked over at least five important targets in Svatove with HIMARS, laying down a package of missiles on each. Many wrote and talked about the first strike. Then, the location of the command post of the enemy’s 144th Division was destroyed. In addition, our forces laid down a package on four more ammunition and equipment warehouses. Two locations in Svatove itself and two in the suburbs — one south and the second north of the city.

The M30A1 Tungsten Rain

The same sources report that new HIMARS ammunition possibly saw first use there — M30A1 guided missiles. Their difference is that the warhead shell consists of 180,000 high-strength tungsten carbide striking elements. When the missile explodes, a zone of continuous destruction is formed, in which literally everything is cut down. Moreover, the fragments fly downward in a cone since the missile explodes several meters above the ground. This means that surrounding something with ramparts or burying it in the ground is useless. And as mentioned above, a package of six such missiles arrived at each location. In general, the disco there turned out fun. Everyone learned about the division headquarters destruction and the warehouses went into the routine category and cold figures. Reports simply say so many ammunition and equipment warehouses got destroyed.

In this case, our military smashed Kupiansk’s emergency backup. Apparently, the enemy arranged transshipment there for logistics of forces on the front strip. This covered everything from the liberation of Lyman to Sievierodonetsk. They also formed reserves they intended to use if the AFU offensive continued. And now it turns out that the reserves were shredded, and the supplies in Svatove were destroyed.

The Sagging Front Line and New Reality

This means that the entire front line from the border with the federation to Sievierodonetsk sagged. After all, the main grouping in Lyman was defeated, and the reserves were spent. Therefore, now we should expect either a celebration of the liquidation of the “lnr” — or most of it — or urgent scraping together of all possible forces and means to throw them at the AFU.

By the way, precisely in the liberation of Lyman operation, a new reality opened up for mobilized Orcs. Previously, wolves, foxes, and other wild animals ate their corpses. Now domestic animals eat them — dogs and even cats. We won’t post these videos here. Many have already seen them. Those who haven’t can easily find them online.

However, the biggest revelation came for the Kadyrivtsy⁴. More than one case got caught on video where pigs eat occupants’ corpses. Mobilized orcs from Tagil or St. Petersburg don’t care which animal helps them decompose. But the Kadyrivtsy from Grozny probably won’t like the prospect with the piggies. They say even the spell “Akhmat is strength” doesn’t work on pigs. It doesn’t even spoil their appetite. So all Orcs have a choice, but only up to a certain point — and then it’s over!

¹Orcs – a common term for Russians who support or participate in the armed aggression against Ukraine. Dehumanizing? Yes. Accurate? Also yes.

²Pidar (pronounced “pidar”) – Ukrainian military slang for a Russian service member. In radio communications, the word “Pidar” sounds shorter and clearer than “Enemy” especially under EW.

³200th (two-hundredth) – Ukrainian Army slang for KIA (Killed in Action). From the military code “Cargo 200” for transporting dead bodies.

⁴Kadyrivtsy – fighters of Ramzan Kadyrov serving Moscow. Chechen volunteers fighting for Ukraine reject calling them Chechens. We respect our brothers-in-arms.
