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
One year ago UAF launched a counteroffensive at this area. Since then RUAF are trying to bring the territory back.

And, frankly speaking, it’s pointless and gives them nothing.

So they fire 2-3 guided bombs (near Vovchansk it’s 15-30) per day and fire from 152 mm artillery.

Firstly Russians were crossing the open field on their foot. Not a lot of them managed to do it.

But they have a lot of manpower so not a big deal.

Echoes of war.

They tried to cover their movements with a lot of FPV drones and tried not to allow our infantry to reach their positions during the rotation.

Unfortunately, it was quite successful.

Just today. Danylo in his group working with drones trying not to allow Russians to move forward.
Image
Image
Then Russians tried to use a lot of motorcycles and bare infantry.

Sometimes even 6 artillery pieces at once were firing at their positions.


Image

Image
Image
Some more BMPs🔥

Destroyed T-80BV👌

Danylo right now urgently needs your financial support — 3 DJI drones. Unfortunately, RUAF there have more recon and FVP drones.

The price is 5000$. ASAP we gather I order them. Please support.

1/3

Today we were attacked by 9 BMD-2/4M. Only two of them managed to retreat.

With the help of mines my company stopped 2 BMD-2 and 1 BMD-4M (after that they were destroyed by FPV drones).

12.12.24 losses. 234 VDV regiment:

- 3 BMD-2;
- 4 BMD-4M;
- 1 IMR-2
👇
2/3

And it’s very funny to see how everyone thinks that FPV rules the way.

The rest of the column was stopped/destroyed by ATGMs. Only after that FPV drones started working.

In general, I see that approximately 10-15% of AFV were destroyed by FPV (I mean during the move).
3/3

Nevertheless, 10.12.24 was another attack by 237 VDV regiment.

Losses:
- 4 IMV;
- 1 BTR-D;
- 1 BMD-4M;
- 3 BMD-2

So for 2 days they have lost 12 AFV, 4 IMV and 1 IMR-2.

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
