Few updates and summarized thoughts on the frontline.

🧵Thread

1/ The russian military continues to deploy fresh personnel and equipment across the frontlines, primarily for the purpose of replacing losses. However, it seems that their combat value continuous to decrease

2/ The formation of assault groups by Russian forces suggests a persistent demand for further assaults. However, it is observed that many of these groups lack experienced or motivated personnel to effectively operate on the battlefield.

3/ This indicates a persistent disparity in situational understanding between the military on the ground and the political leadership.

1/
In my previous analysis, I explored the armament and role of assault units. However, their actual effectiveness and structure often differs from what is written in manuals. To provide a more realistic perspective, I'll share a final insight about assault units

2/ To begin, it is crucial to differentiate between temporary and permanent assault units. Assault units that are integrated into a battalion, regiment, or brigade structure, are called "Storm" units. Their size can range from a company to a reinforced battalion

3/ There are also temporary assault units/groups assembled within a regiment or battalion for a specific assault operation, they do not have number, name, defined structure, regular commanders, or armament, but are instead tailored to each mission's specific requirements

🧵Thread:

For those seeking a greater understanding of the russian soldier's perspective on the war, motivation, and attitudes, I recommend reading this thread, as I decided to compile and generalize some materials.

2/ I was hesitant to publish this thread as I cannot provide the original evidence until the war is over. However, I feel it is important to share the information and allow readers to form their own opinions.

3/ The materials primarily consist of over a hundred conversations obtained from chat applications on the devices of deceased russian soldiers and confessions from some prisoners of war. While it may not be a representative sample, I want to discuss some noticeable commonalities.

🧵 1/ This is part two of the "Assault Units" thread, which focuses on suggestions for russian assault units in urban combat, gleaned from captured documents. The section provides general recommendations on tactics that assault units can employ in urban warfare scenarios.

2/
Main provisions from the document regarding urban warfare:
- To ensure safe passage, holes should be made by tanks or explosives in fences and buildings.
- The route of movement of assault companies, if possible, should exclude movement along roads and straight streets

3/
- Placing observation points on the roofs of buildings is prohibited in urban environment.

🇺🇦Vuheldar update - 04.03.23

🧵1/4 Given Shoigu's visit to "Vostok" grouping of troops in the South Donetsk area, along with continuous fresh troop arrivals, it's evident that russia might has serious intentions for Vuhledar and neighboring areas, and a potential larger assault

2/4 Notably, Shoigu was present with General Muradov, who is infamous for his failures in Vuhledar, and Deputy Defense Minister of Russia, Mikhail Mizintsev, known for managing the siege of Mariupol.

3/4 Although this could be a deliberate attempt to draw attention or mislead regarding intentions, the massive concentration of troops in the area cannot be ignored. It is possible that the enemy is planning to resume larger operations in Vuhledar or neighboring areas.

🧵 1/16
Russian forces are revamping their assault tactics after experiencing failures with their current structure. The Battalion Tactical Groups (BTGs) are getting replaced with a new unit called the "Assault Unit" or "Assault Detachment", which I will discuss in this thread.

2/16
Based on a captured russian manual, the Assault Unit (or Detachment) is a battalion-sized force designed to perform assaults in fortified tree lines and urban environments. It is essentially a reinforced battalion with a specific focus on assault operations.

3/16 The Assault Detachment is customizable to mission requirements and consists of 2-3 assault companies, a command unit, an artillery support unit, and other groups: recon, tank, EW, AD, fire support, UAV, Medevac, flamethrowing, assault engineering, reserve, equipment recovery
