At the same time, some of the officers who arrive for rotation were already in the Donbas in these positions in 2016.The occupation command takes measures to further develop the combat capabilities of the occupation forces. Thus, the Russian command is considering the issue of strengthening "1st Army Corps DNR" due to the formation of a new separate motorized rifle brigade in its composition.The Russian command of "1st Army Corps DNR" and "2nd Army Corps LNR" continues to conduct a hidden regrouping, as well as redeployment of its forces. The work on equipping advanced positions and installing mine-blasting fences is continuing On the Golmovsky-Troitskoe site.In the period from 5 to 11 December this year, confirmed losses of Russian occupation forces in the Donbass amounted to 16 servicemen:1st Army Corps – 3rd separate mechanized brigade (Gorlovka) – 8 servicemen, 11th separate mechanized regiment (Makeyevka) - 5 servicemen, 100th separate mechanized brigade (Donetsk) - 1 serviceman;2nd Army Corps – 6th separate mechanized regiment (Kadievka) – 1 serviceman, 7th separate mechanized brigade (Bryanka) – 1 serviceman.To ensure the activities of units and formations "1st Army Corps DNR" and "2nd Army Corps LNR", about 2,100 tons of petroleum products were delivered to the railway stations Rovenky and Ilovaysk from the territory of Russia in the period from 5 to 11 December this year.The epic with the deputy commander for logistical support of "1 separate mechanized brigade of 1st Army Corps DNR" S.Gaidamaka (the colonel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the name of the cover - Makarov, callsign - "Argun"), which previously lost USB-flash drive with the documentation, continues. The colonel was taken under guard to the Rostov region (RF). The commission of the FSB of the Russian Federation works on the grounds of disclosure of military secrets in the "1st separate mechanized brigade". At the same time, after the facts of mass thefts, organized by S. Gaydamak together with other representatives of the command of the unit, were revealed in the brigade, the brigade commander declared about the innocence of the Russian colonel, who allegedly was slandered and became a "victim of Ukrainian propaganda".After recent rotation, the units of the Special Forces of the GRU of the Russian Federation in the Donbas started to implement several new tactical methods. In particular, Russian saboteurs use the tactics of destroying the advanced stronghold points of the AFU with massive use of the flame thrower "Shmel", the use of mining (especially from the rear), and the devices of so-called "sudden shelling" from close and medium distances from the neutral zone. Several attempts were made to reveal the regime and the order of organization by Ukrainian troops of combat guarding, the places and the order of observation, and the detection of the regime for the use of on-duty fire weapons.The term of permission for the production of certain types of pharmacological products that was granted before the beginning of the ATO by the authorized structures of Ukraine expired at the enterprises of the pharmaceutical industry in the territory controlled by LNR. Accordingly, the production of the corresponding products at specialized enterprises is prohibited. On the territory of the so-called "DNR" a similar issue was resolved by the creation of "Pharmacological Committee" in October of this year, which is now ready to grant permission for "LNR" at a price of 170 thousand Russian rubles per year for one product name.IR
