With πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ advancing all over NE Kherson, and steadily closing in on Nova Khakova with the dam over the Dnipro river. Questions arise where could πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί retreating forces try to make a stand. We have been monitoring this area and have seen an increase in activity around the dam.
As you can see πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί have established a whole ring of defensive works, which they began building end of July. This makes lead to believe that they were allready getting ready for an eventual retreat & defense of the area. As can be seen the at the entrance road to the dam itself.
Just outside Vesele near the gas station on the E58 highway the town on the N side of the dam on the a large trench area can be seen as well as multiple vehicle dugin positions, these pos. are linked to pos. to the easteren side of town. This is probably the last line of defense
From Vesele in the direction of Beryslav two defensive positions has been setup by πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί forces. On the place where the main T-0403 HWY splits there is a fortified positions set up,also on the exit toward Nova Khakova along the HWY defensive pos. have been setup on the N side.
When we look west, πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί defenses have been setup around Sylova Balka, on the S side of the road from Beryslav, aswell as on the point where the P-47 turns into Vesele. This is a very important chocking point because on the W water largely protects entry.
On the W side of Vesele, the railwayline comes in from Snihurivka, the area here is divided by an inlet from Dnipro river, along the crossing points fortified positions have been setup to counter any attack coming from the area W/NW of Kherson city.
As the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί forces are digging in, reserves must be kept somewhere in/near the town of Vesele,where is unclear but we are keeping an eye on developments here πŸ›° πŸ˜‰ aswell as on the attemps to bring in supplies. This 🧡 is a collaboration between @DefMon3 @ArtisanalAPT @COUPSURE.

Yesterday we got word of πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ forces liberating Zolota Balka, right now however we can confirm that they secured the towns of Myroliubivka, Lyubymivka which had been contested since middle of august, also we have visual confirmation that πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ troops entered Khreschenivka ⬇️
To do this πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ forces had to break the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί defenses @ the T2207 highway around Petrivka. On 31-08 πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ forces tried to break the line here but failed, but managed to degrade defenses here,IMO this combined with interdicted supply routes let to the failure of πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ίdefenses yesterday.
The Zolota Balka def. where located on the hills east of town, with a view of the T0403 highway, harder to approach then the def. at Petrivka, as these were broken, Zolota balka became a pocket for πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί forces, the only way out would be under πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ fire covering the T-0403.

Last week the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ forces started an unpresedented #HIMARS campaign on the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί supply hub Svatove. In 2 days at least 5 seperate targets where hit in & around Svatove. This town was a supply hub for the Lyman & Kupiansk front.1 strike took out the command of the 144th regiment.
In addition to this strike which was a blow to the combat effectiveness of the 144th regiment, for other supply area's were hit. Two of those were located in Svatove itself the other 2 north & south of town.

One was located on the East side of town at what seems to be a farm complex of some kind.Geolocation of the complex is [49.418245, 38.177272]. As is visible a single hit struck the roof area collapsing it.

Some more info on the artillery strike on the HQ of 144th motorized rifle division located at Svatove came out. In this attack the commander was killed aswell as serveral of his staff. rumor say maybe even 100+ KIA and numerous vehicles destroyed

The attack happend most likely in the morning of 20th sept. & was devastating destroying almost 10 buildings. Most likely this was a coordinated HIMARS attack looking at the almost surgical precision some buildings were hit, and other buildings remained intact. ImageImageImage
To make the kind of destruction even more visual, @bradyafr created an animation of the actual damage done to the whole complex. As you can see almost the whole complex was leveled which might also been due to secundairy explosions of stored ammo.

Part II of the Myrne supply route saga. As told before me and other #OSINT researchers have been working on identifing supply routes and warehouses used by πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί. We found 1 in town of Myrne, Cherson see below⬇️. This is what we found after more backtracking
When checking sat. images from early september we found also that they were using the eastern area of the station, which we hadnt seen before in earlier images. This made us believe that after the attack on Brylivka this is now the main supply hub in N Kherson.
When looking at footage from 7-09 & 24-9 we noticed a number of trucks (Kamaz & Ural) backed against railway boxcars being unloaded and leaving the yard toward the road to Chaplynka, where the forward πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί helicopter base is located.

🧡 update on the quest of finding πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί supply locations. Acting on a hunch of @defmon3 about the supply routes to #Chaplynka airport. We discovered a possible location @ Myrne, Kherson. The location makes sense the railway line from Crimea to Kherson runs thru town.

#SlavaUkraΓ―ni
And there are large warehouse complexes located right next to the train station, which we know the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί love to use (like @ Brylivka). Another + is that it is located out of HIMARS range and it is located only 12 km. from Chaplynka airbase (πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί forward heli base more in another 🧡)
After obtaining the sat. images (with your support) and surveying the area,we found out that πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί were indeed using this town for re-supply.They were not using loc. near the station,but a complex outside of town. This is located right along the railway line just outside of town.

1/10 Kherson update 🧡 last week we saw the collapse of the #Kharkiv front and things at #Kherson front seemed slow, but also here πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ forces are putting the pressure on the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί forces. In this thread i will try to give a summary of what happend last week IMHO 😁

#SlavaUkraini
2/10 To start in the utmost W part of this front, end of august πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ forces liberated Oleksandrivka, hereby squeezing the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί VDV into Stanislav & Shyroka Balka, geolocated footage placed an artillery regiment here.Shyroka was hit several times destroying the VDV HQ there.
3/10 yesterday the official UA MoD declared troops have entered Soffivka(reportedly SOF forces) which would cut off any suplies to the two towns, and bypass the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί defenses N of Tomyna Balka. Leaving the most W flank of Chornobaivka airport wide open & cutting supply route T1501
