Let's read a short thread about the recent Russian advance near Avdiivka. I need to notice that there are no conclusions, thoughts, predictions, etc. Not in this thread. Just facts about destroyed or abandoned Russian armor. And only in one place - near the slagheap. Image
Burning Russian tank (was destroyed 12.10.23), two armed «Ural» and one BMP-1 (were damaged 10.10.23)

Well, it was a very bad road for our enem👌

3 BMP, 2 APC, 2 tanks.


Image
Image
Image
Image
Destroyed BMP-2 (12.10.23) and one more «Ural» (10.10.23).


Image
Image
Image
Image
One more failed attack which took part at 12.10.23: 2 destroyed tanks (one of them was published higher), 1 tank was damaged and left by the crew and another was managed to escape.

There are a couple of different places near Avdiivka where Russians suffered heavy losses. Here is another picture from different place (and thread ;). Image

The only thing I can say about the battle for Vovchansk — that’s only the beginning.

I think we have here a new «record» — 13 guided bombs (KAB) for one hour.

It’s hard for them right now to stop our advance and they are deploying new forces. About that and more below🧵
Frankly speaking, the only reason I a writing this it’s Russian guided bombs.
Pain in the ass.

Yesterday from 21:00 to 22:00 they dropped 13 bombs. And from 22 to 23 6 more bombs.

If U are asking yourself whether it’s a lot or not — it’s huge.
This thread will be short and kinda more technical then the previous ones.

1) Russians are using only infantry without armed vehicles. Only a couple of tanks and AFV were destroyed here.

My company destroyed 2/5 BMP. Yes, I am showing off.

These were destroyed by 82 brigade. Image

My friend Danylo, who serves in Ukrainian SOF, shared with me some footages from the part of the front where he is «working» every day as a part of a fire support unit.

Since April Russians have become more active at Southern part of D oblast and attack them almost every day🧵
That the tank that was destroyed at the video🔥

Danylo shared with some of his thoughts about Russian tactics, artillery and the enemy forces 👇 Image
Yeap, that pretty lady is a part of his group🫡 Unfortunately I cannot show you her face.

So. If we compare, for example, Vovchansk and the part where Danylo is it’s totally different. From one point of view. Image

The battle for Vovchansk continues. And it feels like that this is only the beginning.

It’s totally clear that RUAF will use at this direction more reserves and will try to do that have been written here a couple of weeks ago — they will try to cut the logistics near Kypansk🧵

They have started that advance at this direction mainly with 138 brigade and some assault companies from different regiment.

Right now they deployed at least one battalion of 25 mechanised brigade and one air assault battalion (also recon company, snipers company) of 83 VDV unit
From day to day the launch a different amount of guided bombs. The last time I had a task they used 17 guided bombs.

I don’t whether it’s a lot of not.

But we continue digging.

Yesterday we had a task near Vovchansk and I have a couple words to say about Russian tactics, artillery ammo, some politician bullshit from the USA and others.

A short thread🧵👇 Image
My guys and I left our base at 4:00 in the morning. At 5:00 we were in Vovchansk.

Firstly it was calm. Even bugs didn’t fly a lot and weren’t disturbing me.

We had a task to find/prepare a normal place for our future recon operations.
A couple of places we have found were quite bad and dangerous so we moved forward.

Apart from my gun and ammo I carried approximately 35 kg on me. Firstly it was not bad.

My company and I are involved in the battle for Vovchansk, Kharkiv oblast.

When I one month ago have «predicted» that RUAF will attack in Kharkiv oblast I didn’t expect to take part in this. I was sure about Donetsk oblast😵‍💫

Well, that’s my third time here🧵 Image
May 2022, Kharkiv oblast.

May 2024, Kharkiv oblast.

Again & again.
Image
Image
Frankly speaking, it’s very painful to watch this. People just had no time to evacuate in a proper way. They had a supper at their tables.

Very unpleasant feelings.

«Papa’s kitty house» it is written. Image

Three potential goals of Russian advance:

1) making the AFU divide our small recourses (mostly from Donetsk oblast);

2) cutting logistics for Кupiansk direction (E40);

3) creating a buffer zone.

This is how I see it🧵 Image
Even if the only variant will be achieved — that’s a horrible situation.

And I am for sure that we will have to move our «reserves» to that area. It’s just impossible not to react.

And it means more success for their advance in Donetsk oblast.
So at least 1/3 tasks will be achieved. Because the RUAF haven’t used there main forces yet.

Destroying our «bridgehead» at Kharkiv direction is there goal since November 2022.

They tried to destroy it attacking our defence positions and didn’t manage to do it.
