🇺🇦Ukrainian units are beginning to transfer out of Sumy, following Russia's regrouping that we reported on last week.
In this thread we will review the current Ukrainian disposition in Sumy, including recent changes and which units might move out soon.
During August, the 156th Mechanized Brigade transferred to the Pokrovsk direction (possibly around Shakhove and Sofiivka).
It was previously deployed in Yunakivka, where it was replaced by the veteran 47th Mechanized Brigade.
The 47th moved here from the border further west.
Units in the rest of the salient do not seem to be in the process of moving at the moment.
It is worth highlighting that the 225th Assault Regiment may have reduced its presence around Andriivka to a single battalion (Shkval Battalion) following counterattacks in early summer.
From west to east, the current disposition includes 71st Jager Brigade, 15th "Stalevyi Kordon" Border Detachment and 1st Heavy Mechanized Brigade.
The 103rd TDF, 17th Heavy Mechanized and 21st Mechanized brigades hold, respectively, the borders west and east of the salient.
Important units in Sumy have been the 80th and 95th Air Assault brigades, pictured here in the sectors they have held during the summer (near Yunakivka and east of it).
These highly capable units are likely to be earmarked for transfer to the east, should the necessity arise.
