#WarInUkraine D+480 (18/06) PdS1 - Dniepr-Donetsk offensive

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ attack on the entire front line, including sectors where the offensive initiative is πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί!

Is this preparation for the long-awaited main offensive movement?

in blue, change to πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
in red, change in favor of πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί
for details, see development by sector below Image
4/n

LossπŸ‘‡ ratio evolves unfavorably for πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦
Offensive begins to show its human and material cost
Casualty ratio falls from 1.58 to 1.21 since the southern offensive and from 1.02 to 0.78 after recovery, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ loses more equipment than πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί, which is normal Image
5/n

These figures are similar to those for the #Kharkiv-#Kherson offensive in 2022, and show cost control by the belligerents.

The offensiveπŸ‘‡ axes diagram now shows progress along the axes (to be completed tomorrow). Image
6/n

sector 1/in the #Bakhmut direction, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ no tactical gainπŸ‘‡

(i) #Bakhmut northern salient, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ and πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί assault repulsed

In the #OrikhovoVasylivka axis, at the top of the northern salient, πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί assaults repulsed

In the #Yahidne axis towards M-03, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ assaults repulsed Image
7/n

(ii) #Bakhmut city, NTR

(iii) #Bakhmut southern salient, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ assaults repulsed and πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί very marginal tactical gain

In the #Maiorsk axis, πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί very marginal tactical gain between CSD and T-0513πŸ‘‡
t.me/AFUStratCom/18…
8/n

sector 2/in the #VelykaNovosilka direction, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ no tactical gainπŸ‘‡

#AFU have brought in several elite battalions and the glorious 93rd mechanized brigade to reinforce the 7 (23rd, 31st BrMe, 47th BrAr, 35th, 37th BrMa, 3rd and 4th BrB) already in place. Image
9/n

This attack corridor, some 20 to 25 km wide, becomes a priority πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

(i) on the left flank in line with #Pryyutne, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ assaults on #Rivnopil

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ 'army advances towards #Rivnopil where πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί , in a delicate position in a salient, fleeπŸ‘‡

10/n

(ii) on the central axis towards #Staromlynivka, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ assaults on #Urozhaine so far without effect

(iii) on the right flank, in line with #Novodonetske, NTR
11/n

sector 3/ towards #Orikhiv, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ no tactical gains

(i) In the #Robotyne axis, NTR

NTR = no offensive, but artillery exchanges, recce, special operations (in short, a war of positions)
as here, the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ 47th Brig Meca destroys πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί objectsπŸ‘‡ ImageImage
12/n

(ii) In the #Vassylivka axis, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ assaults with uncertain outcome
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ would have entered #Pyatikhatky but without controlling the colony, which would be in the gray zoneπŸ‘‡ Image
13/n

What is tactical value of #Pyatikhatky?

It commands access to T-0812πŸ‘‡ which joins the M-18 north of the #Vassylivka crossroads and has the advantage (and danger) of passing between the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί fortifications.

It will be difficult to control as it is dominated by the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί high Image
14/n

(iii) In the #Verbove axis, πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ assaults halted

In this sector of the front, the battle is also fought trench by trench πŸ‘‡

15/n

In this area, the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί fire supports and their counter-battery resources must be reduced.

here, πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί ground artillery reconnaissance station SNAR-10 "Leopard" destroyed πŸ‘‡

16/n

It's also very important to destroy the πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί dronesπŸ‘‡ units, which are much more proficient with this new weapon than they were at the start of the conflict.

17/n

There are major movements of troops and equipment from the Russian rear to the frontπŸ‘‡


18/n

Note: The variation in the area controlled by πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί in the #Verbove axis (-12 km2) does not correspond to a concrete military movement but to an independent map adjustment.
19/n

A little message to the residents of #Berdyansk, #Melitopol, #Marioupol: "the little guys will be here soon!"

A message to the bad guys: "We are coming !" ImageImage

#WarInUklraine D+482 (20/06) PdS1 - Dniepr-Donetsk offensive

The offensive was not a failure, as it improved lesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ positions on the entire southern front, but it was placed under tactical inventory.

The rest of the front, off the offensive, is frozen in a war of positions where πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί apply ISIS methods!

Territory retaken by πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦:
In week 1, 100 km2

Conclusion from @TheStudyofWar: "#AFU seem to be marking an operational pause in their offensive"😎

#Ukraine June 19, fresh update from @CedricMas.
1. UKR push slowly along to several distant axis, probes ?
2. RUS mainten pression in Avdiivka and Kreminna-Siversk sectors
3. UKR plan remains obfuscated
Read the thread for details πŸ‘‡
#Ukraine June 19 (1) Situation update on the morning of the 481st day of the invasion.
Operations continue, as difficult as ever to understand and follow. Image
#Ukraine June 19 (2) The UKR are making efforts on several axes, but without committing troops to achieve significant results.
They are therefore "pushing" slowly on several axes far from each other.
In Bakhmut, for example. ImageImage
