During 10.12-16-12.23 was the largest offence from the South of Avdiivka since 10.10.23 (the beginning of the operation). Only for one day, 10.12.23, they have lost 9 tanks.
The battle is cruel and really hard. Let’s take the look at the results 🧵👇
First loss is T-62. I suppose it had to be a kamikaze tank. But not sure.
Second loss is T-72B3M?
T-80BV.
Another burned T-80BV?
BMP and MTLB were published be me previously.
Two more T-80BV. One was cooked.
One more T-80BV(?).
Wrecks from the previously documented T-64BV.
Two new BMP-1 and new MTLB (and T-80BV from the beginning of the thread).
Whoops. Almost forgot. Two new T-80BV and one BMP-1.
Extra image of one of those T-80BVs (from the right) and BMP-1.
And new MTLB.
Two new armed vehicles like Linza(?) and MTLB.
Decided to add here. North of Avdiivka.
12.12.23 Russian tank was destroyed. Previously destroyed BMP-2 is also visible.
Also from the North.
Two destroyed BMP-1/2 and three damaged and left T-72B3 tanks (the tank in the middle is alive. Was firing yesterday and retreating).
In a couples of days I will continue publishing Russian losses and even create a post about Russian tactics (I don’t do it usually. But it was interesting to watch).
Folks! That’s definitely the first time I write anything like that. So your attention and reposts are very welcoming. And this is relevant for both foreigners and Ukrainians. 🔽
A friend of mine is looking for people to work for UA miltech company with a lot of opportunities↘️
Right now they have a goal to create a cheap «tool» that will be able to work against Russian logistics far from the frontline.
Take a look at picture at the first tweet⤴️
There are a couple of RUAF trucks that we didn’t manage to strike cause we didn’t have tools😒
They are looking for:
• CTO / Chief Technology Officer
— Management of technology teams and projects
• COO / Chief Operating Officer
— Management of operational activities, including production and teams
My tweet unexpectedly became quite popular. Need to say that I clearly understand that I may be wrong. Or expect too much from Russians. Perhaps.
But don’t be delusional. This «last push» may last > 1 year.
A little bit more about Russian strategic manoeuvres🔽🧵
Everything what is said — my own conclusions. I will tell you just a couple of random facts and you may have your own conclusions after that. But I am not changing my mind.
In a lot of cases I think that Russian higher military command became, looks like, much more adoptive to the situations and even more creative.
Unfortunately, I need to say they have become more talented. IMHO. At least in a lot of cases.
The 90 gtd together with the 5th tank brigade and 36 motorised brigade launched an offensive near Sviatohirsk, Donetsk oblast.
They been firing at our positions for 5 hours with 152 mm SPGs and 122 mm MRLS.
After that — 9 tanks and 16 BMP-2 entered the village.
We had only 1 120 mm mortar and 60 rounds for it. And 1 2S1 behind us from airborne.
It was quite tuff. And I was 100% sure that I will die there.
And this is the thing I am proud of myself: that being 100% sure that I will die I stayed and held my position near the oak.
Back than it was a totally different war. No FPV drones, no guided bombs.
Just massive AFV columns, a lot of artillery. Or, fox example, 4 Russian Su-25 flying and bombing the village you live in just 15 km from the frontline.
I need to say that those things that U gonna read are personal experience and represents Russian actions at the Western (the hardest since November till December) flank.
I hope it will help future historians to write a decent research.
And yes. This thread is not about the problems the AFU faced, Koreans or anything else.
This one is quite «technical», I would say. Because if I would like to write more and in complex — this thread would be close to a word «endless».
