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.


Image
Image
Image
Image
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
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.

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↘️ Image
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🔽🧵 Image
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.

Image
Image
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.

July 2022.

🧵 My personal thoughts as a soldier who took part in Kursk operation for four months.

Unusual thread for this page but with a purpose — to tell you more about Russian manoeuvres and assaults at the Western flank.

If U want to help us buy batteries🔽

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».

❗️Russian bolsheviks from infamous 155 marine brigade with the help of 4 BTR-82A and 1 T-80BVM attacked our positions in Kursk oblast.

All the vehicles were stopped and destroyed. Need to say, that every time AFU strikes RUAF command posts in Kursk oblast I…🧵
I sincerely hope that we won’t strike 155 marine brigade command posts.

These sleeping agents from theirs command should awarded with the highest Ukrainian medals.

Russians from that brigade only capable of massively dying achieving barely anything.
Due to my modest estimates this brigade has lost since October 24 till February 25 a huge amount of AFV:

• 23 T-80BV/BVM;
• 31 BTR-82A;
• 43 BMP-3;
• 21 MTLB

Just a brigade. And they are fine with that. Putin loves them.
