With this publication, InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community begins the series of articles analyzing the data from the laptop of the commander of artillery of the so-called 1st Army Corps of Russian occupation troops in Donbas. The data was exclusively provided to InformNapalm by the hacktivists of the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance (UCA). It has been confirmed that the laptop owner is a Russian lieutenant colonel, who uses the alias “V. Skorokhod” and who replaced another Russian officer, Colonel Igor Valentinovich Yagelsky, in a rotation.

In the first publication, we will publish the information about the armament of the Artillery Brigade Group of the 5th Motorized Rifle Brigade (5th MRB “Oplot”, military unit 08805), provide the list of battalion commanders of the 1st Army Corps, and talk about Russian military simulators used in the Donbas to train local collaborators.

The information we’re publishing has no operational value, since it refers to the period of Fall 2015 – Spring 2016.

The Artillery Brigade Group of the 5th MRB “Oplot” (military unit 08805) of the Russian occupation corps consists of the following units: howitzer artillery battalion (HAB), self-propelled howitzer artillery battalion (SHAB), rocket artillery battalion (RAB), antitank artillery battalion (AAB). HAB is equipped with 122mm howitzers 2A18 (D-30), SHAB – with 2S1 Gvozdika 122mm self-propelled howitzers, RAB – with BM-21 Grad 122mm multiple launch rocket systems, and AAB – with 100mm anti-tank gun MT-12 “Rapira”. The artillery equipment listed below, as a rule, is delivered to the occupation units from military equipment storage and repair bases located in Russia.
