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.
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.
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.
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».
