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!

During the attack with MTLB was stopped. One week ago was still at that place.

Was lost on March.

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

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 only thing I can say about the battle for Vovchansk — that’s only the beginning.

I think we have here a new «record» — 13 guided bombs (KAB) for one hour.

It’s hard for them right now to stop our advance and they are deploying new forces. About that and more below🧵
Frankly speaking, the only reason I a writing this it’s Russian guided bombs.
Pain in the ass.

Yesterday from 21:00 to 22:00 they dropped 13 bombs. And from 22 to 23 6 more bombs.

If U are asking yourself whether it’s a lot or not — it’s huge.
This thread will be short and kinda more technical then the previous ones.

1) Russians are using only infantry without armed vehicles. Only a couple of tanks and AFV were destroyed here.

My company destroyed 2/5 BMP. Yes, I am showing off.

These were destroyed by 82 brigade. Image

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

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
Image
Image
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.
