NOVOMYKHAILIVKA THREAD PART I

Russian strategic advance in Pokrovsk have started at 10.10.23. They deployed 3 CA to capture Avdiivka and all our attention was there.

But there was one more big battle. The Battle for Novomykhailivka that costed them 300 armed vehicles.

🧵👇
I need to figure out that there will be a couple of parts about that battle. Need to say that I will try to post only undocumented losses.

And this part will be about tanks.

The first recorded loss of T-54B tank. This tank was lost on December 2023. Image
Another destroyed T-62M.

Image
Image
Image
One more T-62M. Image
I remember how this T-62M was hit and stopped. He managed to drew a couple of miles and than was hit by the FPV drone.

Don’t know why but no one left that tank.
Image
Image
TG channels, steal ASAP!

T-62M without a turret was used as AFV during the assault.


Image
Image
Image
Image
T-62M. During the attack found a landmine and was stopped. Later was destroyed.

Apart from that tank BMP-2 and BMP-1AM were deployed. Image
Another T-54!

Image
Two destroyed T-80BV, one destroyed T-72B and abandoned T-80BV.

It was super popular by them back than.

Unfortunately, somehow this post didn’t become popular and it’s really surprised me.

Well, maybe these kind of threads won’t be popular anymore 👌

We managed to gather 3/5 of the sum! Image

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
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.

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.
