    The Special Monitoring Mission of OSCE reported on January 17 that the illegal armed formations of the so-called ‘DPR’ occupied part of a hospital in Telmanove.

    The observers said: “In ‘DPR’-controlled Telmanove (50 km north-east of Mariupol), the SMM on 16 January observed that part of the hospital building was occupied by armed ‘DPR’ members, and sandbags and ammunition boxes were placed around the entrance and at windows”. The Mission monitors noted that another building in the town was similarly fortified.

    Based on this data, the volunteers of InformNapalm conducted supplemental reconnaissance using the open sources of information trying to find additional info about Telmanove settlement and its suburbs. We found a cluster of D-30A 122mm howitzers and army trucks which belonged to the so-called 1st motorized rifle brigade of ‘DPR armed forces’. This equipment was registered in the north-east edge of the village, in 2 km from the hospital building, which the militants had made their point of dislocation.

    It is noteworthy that the presence of guns of caliber of more than 100 mm in this locality violates the Minsk agreements. The guns of this type have to be withdrawn to a distance of over 25 kilometers. Let us remind you that the demarcation line lies in less than 12 kilometers to the west of Telmanovo.

    The starting point of our investigation is the social profile of some Maskim Tor (the last name is not real):
    Selection_042

    His album is named ‘1st Slavic’ (the full name of this illegal armed formation is ‘the 1st separate Slavic motorized rifle brigade, unit No. 08801‘). The pictures were uploaded on January 29, 2016. Taking into account that the militants’ outfit seen in pictures is of winter type, we can assume that the photos are fresh. So, this is the information we acquired during the analysis:

    • D-30A mortars as well as ‘Ural’ and ‘KamAZ’ military trucks are hidden in hangars near Telmanove
    • the technical condition of the weaponry and equipment is good, it is newly painted and has almost new tires
    • One of the mortars has the serial number ‘B1659’ with the indication of the second category. The equipment had been supposedly stored at one of the equipment storage and maintenance bases. It should be mentioned that the Russian armed forces do not use D-30 mortars since 2013 (except the airborne forces). The removed from service equipment was transferred to the storage bases and then, as we can see, to the militants of ‘Novorossiya’. The fact of transferring of D-30 mortars was described in our previous investigation – Love of Artillerists from ‘Great Don Army’.
    • There is the ’51 in white triangle’ tactical sign on the door of a vehicle. That sign is used by the 1st brigade of ‘DPR’
    • the absence of part of the roof of the hangar and geotags helped us to identify the precise location

    Actually, below are some screenshots of Maksim’s album, which were used for the analysis:

    These are the screenshots which let us locate the clusters of artillery equipment.

    InformNapalm once again appeals to the OSCE’s special monitoring mission to the to pay attention to the available information and to check the fact of presence of the ‘withdrawn’ weapons at special storage areas in a distance from the demarcation line, which violates the terms of the Minsk agreements.
