GeoConfirmed Investigation - Russian Avdiivka Offensive

Based on Open Sources and double checked by Com Sat Img, since the offensive started on 9 or 10 October:

Russian losses:

197 vehicle losses.
18 potential vehicle losses.

Loss = Damaged or destroyed.

1/X Image
Losses older than 9 October (Purple).
At least 61 are filtered out.

Every loss after 9 October is checked with Com Sat Img.

2/X Image
Methodology:

Losses: If a vehicle is more than 3 days on the exact same place. Most of the time burnmarks/destruction is visible. Less than 10 were moved before 31 October.

Potential loss: no second footage available to confirm its a loss.



3/X
99 Losses (Orange) are from the first wave of the offensive:
Between 9 and 13 October.

94 losses (Orange) are from the second wave of the offensive:
Between 14 and 23 October.

4 confirmed (Orange) and 18 potential losses (Yellow) between 24 and 31 October.

Let's start with South Avdiivka.

Vehicles from this video are confirmed destroyed.

EVERY pin is a different confirmed loss.

Other footage from some of those losses:

Area around Krasnohorivka.

15/X Image
Area south of Krasnohorivka.

18/X Image
Remember this video?

All the orange pins East and South of the lake are the result.



19/X
And the destruction in this video is also mostly in this area:



20/X
West of Krasnohorivka.

21/X Image
And this column?

Needed to retreat. But at least 6 vehicles were destroyed during this retreat.



25/X
Some more losses from this area.

(At 0:39 you see, for example, the vehicles from the above footage that were not able to retreat.)



26/X
12 October we stated this.

"this could become the most costly Russian assault since the beginning of the war."

We can conclude now that this is by far the most costly Russian assault, during 3 weeks, for one city, since the beginning of the war.



28/X
197 vehicle losses.
18 potential vehicle losses.
61 previously known losses in this area.

This is not even comparable with the Ukrainian losses during their offensive. Nor in amount, nor in time.

Because some people really have a problem with reading comprehension, an additional clarification:

a. "From 09/10 october" means that those losses where not there before. Not visible on Sat Img, not seen before. NOT THERE BEFORE.
Purple are the older losses.

b. Tweet 3 states clearly: Less than 10 were moved before 31 October.

So from the 99 losses between 9 and 13 Oct and 94 losses from between 14 and 23 October only 10 were not there anymore on 30 or 31 October.

So at least 90 losses are still in place since at least 13 October...
and at least 84 losses are still in place since at least 23 October...
We checked EVERY POTENTIAL LOSS on the 30/31 Oct Com Sat img.

Loads are visible in the GeoConfirmed footage, others are in the @Tatarigami_UA thread, others were not known yet but visible in Com Sat Img.

Please, for some of you: read a thread before you react.

GeoConfirmed ISR-PAL - Hospital Bombing

Based on the geolocation of new footage its highly likely that:

The missile -Al Jazeera footage- is an interceptor. (Iron Dome)
The explosion in the air is too far away to be related to the hospital explosion.

Footage by @bradyafr, @COUPSURE and @Tatarigami_UA confirms at least 21 (!) destroyed/damaged 🇷🇺 helicopters after the first use of ATACMS delivered by US. This is the probably the biggest blow to the Russian Air Force since the beginning of the war.

Independently they came to the same conclusion.
The above footage is showing a rocket fail and breaking up in two pieces, one falling on the hospital.

GeoConfirmed UKR [CO] - Ukrainian VEHICLES also BREACHED the 1st SUROVIKIN LINE.

Based on GeoLocated footage (by @moklasen, @Tatarigami_UA and @DefMon3 )

As expected the first footage of Ukrainian vehicles past the Surovikin line emerged. (Behind the trenchsystem protecting the 1st Surovikin line)

On the footage in tweet 2/X (by @moklasen) you see the vehicles (from 82nd Air Assault Brigade) crossing the trench system.

A Breach is a very complex operation.

This Russian defensive line consisted of an Anti-Tank ditch, dragons teeth and a trench system with direct fire on the previous two. All covered by artillery.

First recon elements went in, breached, and made a foothold in the trenchsystem. Followed by infantry units to clear the trenches and widen the gap of enemy direct fire on the breach. (Visible in timelapse on or map, see the infantry arrows)

The treelines are full of trenches and defensive positions that need to be cleared before vehicles can come closer.

It is a difficult balance between having direct fire support from armored vehicles and enough standoff from enemy anti-tank weapons, all while being in artillery range.

It seems that the Ukrainian Army succeeded in one of the most complex operations in recent history of conventional warfare by breaching a three-layered defense system without air superiority and within artillery range.
