Avdiivka 🧵 part III

My name is Dima and today I have a birthday. I’m 27 and this is my second year in the army fighting against Russian invasion.

A have a lot of thoughts as to that, positive and negative.

But let’s talk about Russian losses and their attempts to attack👇


Image
Image
Image
Image
Apart from attacks from the NORTH RUAF are trying to advance from the SOUTH. From Vodiane to Severne village.

By the way, these photos from first message were taken in Severne this winter.
They started attacking here from the 10th of October till know. Now I may say that this October is the bloodiest month for the Russian regular army.

2 tanks, 2 MTLB


Image
Image
Image
Image
Another one tank, 3 MTLB, 1 APC and 1 IMV from the 10th of October


Image
Image
Image
Image
Two more tanks from that date. And a couple of BMPs which were published officially before

These losses from the 10 till 17 of October: 4 BMP, 1 MTLB

Very bloody battles are going on in Kursk oblast. After a failed attack at the first day of operation the enemy used a bare minimum in terms of using AFV at my flank and in the centre.

But today, 11.11.24, four attacks took place only in my flank.

Kursk update🧵
After a short brake Russians attacks continued.

What is going on in Kursk area is unique.

09.11.24, for example, they used 4 BMD-4M/BMP-3. Somehow they manage to reach out positions.

When they dismounted infantry they started retreating and one BMD-4M was destroyed by👇
Our tank. Somehow(!) our two tanks were coming back from the task.

Russians didn’t see them. Tanks also didn’t see the enemy. Only when RUAF dismounted 15 VDV stormtroopers one BMD was destroyed by a tank.

Russian counteroffensive in Kursk area has started.

As I said before, they expect to liberate their territory for 2 or 3 months. Let’s see whether it’s a realistic desire.

AFU expected that RUAF will launch an offensive two days ago at the 5th of November🧵
A couple of days ago they had a rotation in Любимівка and 51 regiment changed 137 regiment there (VDV).

A couple of days ago 810 marine brigade received 40(!) new BTR-82A.

And remember what I wrote before about reinforcement of 5500 soldiers at the left flank.
So today 51 regiment and 83 VDV brigade launched an attack at the left flank together with 810 marine brigade at the North (Кремянноє-Погрєбкі).

Using a bad weather conditions (fog and wind) they attacked with the help of AFV.

Photos from Ukrainian paratroopers from 79 brigade (we help them) from Kurakhove direction. Burning Russian MTLB.

This brigade is under massive enemy push since October 23. Right now the situation is close to critical because of the flanks of this brigade 🧵 Image
Image
Image
In front of 79 brigade there is 20 division. And here it’s very unusual structure:

- 10 tank regiment;
- SPR;
- 1219 infantry regiment;
- 255 mechanised regiment;
- 33 mechanised regiment;
- 242 mechanised regiment;
- 57 mechanised regiment.
Divisions from SMD received a lot of new BMP-3 from the factories. Due to the info from a company commander from 79 airborne brigade, Russians used BMP-3 and modernised BMP-2 for almost 3 months.

Right now they use «Tigers» and MTLBs (firstly for a long time): Image

One year ago the RUAF started their strategic offensive in Donetsk oblast (especially in Pokrovsk area)

If the battle for Avdiivka is well known a heroic defence of a small village that lasted for 6 months is not.

The 79 brigade still holds positions at this direction. Thread🧵 Image
Ukrainian paratroopers showed how effective and heroic in the same time they can be.

For 6 months they destroyed 300 armed vehicles. And I am going to show part of them.
Two undocumented BMP-3 losses:

1) 155 marine brigade;
2) 10 tank regiment Image

Short and very unusual thread for this page — about the enemy in Kursk area.

My friend showed me a map that he captured during the attack. It has been redrawn by @wildwildmapper

In this thread I will show you the amount of enemy forces before and one month after the invansion🧵 Image
My opinion as to this operation hasn’t changed. I am strongly negative as to that operation from the military point of view.
But in the same time I am a supporter from the political perspective.

If it’s a war two sides must suffer.

Nevertheless, there are two reasons why I write this article.

1) I hope that in the future we will a high quality analysis as to that operation. I hate being an alive witness how people rewriting history.

The second reason I will say in the end of🧵 Image
