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.

The battle for Vovchansk continues. And it feels like that this is only the beginning.

It’s totally clear that RUAF will use at this direction more reserves and will try to do that have been written here a couple of weeks ago — they will try to cut the logistics near Kypansk🧵


Image

They have started that advance at this direction mainly with 138 brigade and some assault companies from different regiment.

Right now they deployed at least one battalion of 25 mechanised brigade and one air assault battalion (also recon company, snipers company) of 83 VDV unit
From day to day the launch a different amount of guided bombs. The last time I had a task they used 17 guided bombs.

I don’t whether it’s a lot of not.

But we continue digging.

Yesterday we had a task near Vovchansk and I have a couple words to say about Russian tactics, artillery ammo, some politician bullshit from the USA and others.

A short thread🧵👇 Image
My guys and I left our base at 4:00 in the morning. At 5:00 we were in Vovchansk.

Firstly it was calm. Even bugs didn’t fly a lot and weren’t disturbing me.

We had a task to find/prepare a normal place for our future recon operations.
A couple of places we have found were quite bad and dangerous so we moved forward.

Apart from my gun and ammo I carried approximately 35 kg on me. Firstly it was not bad.

My company and I are involved in the battle for Vovchansk, Kharkiv oblast.

When I one month ago have «predicted» that RUAF will attack in Kharkiv oblast I didn’t expect to take part in this. I was sure about Donetsk oblast😵‍💫

Well, that’s my third time here🧵 Image
May 2022, Kharkiv oblast.

May 2024, Kharkiv oblast.

Again & again.
Image
Image
Frankly speaking, it’s very painful to watch this. People just had no time to evacuate in a proper way. They had a supper at their tables.

Very unpleasant feelings.

«Papa’s kitty house» it is written. Image

Three potential goals of Russian advance:

1) making the AFU divide our small recourses (mostly from Donetsk oblast);

2) cutting logistics for Кupiansk direction (E40);

3) creating a buffer zone.

This is how I see it🧵 Image
Even if the only variant will be achieved — that’s a horrible situation.

And I am for sure that we will have to move our «reserves» to that area. It’s just impossible not to react.

And it means more success for their advance in Donetsk oblast.
So at least 1/3 tasks will be achieved. Because the RUAF haven’t used there main forces yet.

Destroying our «bridgehead» at Kharkiv direction is there goal since November 2022.

They tried to destroy it attacking our defence positions and didn’t manage to do it.

Folks! My friend Andrii from the 58 brigade told me that Russians at his direction are constantly attacking their positions near Vuhledar.

The 5 tank brigade, 37 motorised brigade and 40 marine brigade are attacking and losing a lot of armed vehicles🧵👇 Image
4 BTR-82A and one BMP-1:

Two MTLBs and three BMP-1:

The second part of this year will be the hardest since May 2022 I assume.

Russians are able to push at different directions (Donetsk oblast is a strategic goal for this year). And they do it.

I am sure that we will see new directions such as Northern Kharkiv👇
RUAF right now have enough forces to move them from, for example, Kreminna to Avdiivka without loosing the advancing potentional.

New CAA, new AC, new divisions. They are creating more and more forces. They will reach success this year.
The situation is worse than it used to be during the battle for Avdiivka. Much worse. They concentrate a lot of forces in one place to be able to breakthrough. We just don’t have enough brigades to manoeuvre and react.
