Significant Russian troop movements in the Kupyansk direction.
Russia moves three regiments from Pishchane direction towards Terny, increases attacks near Kyslivka and reinforces the attack against Zapadne. The 1st Tank and 1st Motor Rifle Regiments of the 2nd Motor Rifle Division had been fighting on the south side of the Pishchane salient since at least 08.2024, this is their first major move in a long time. First MIAs near Terny started showing up in mid March 2025.

In March Ukrainian forces attacked Belgorod oblast, capturing the villages of Demidovka and Popovka.
Apparently, more Ukrainian units than initially believed are involved, including several brigades previously in Kursk oblast and soldiers transferred from support branches. The main elements seem to be from 225th Assault Regiment, 47th Mechanized Brigade and 17th Heavy Mechanized Brigade
Interestingly, missing soldiers of 225th Regiment are in some cases transferred (or attached) from:
- 141st Brigade
- 201st AA Missile Brigade
- Unknown unit A4893

Russian Nuclear Forces are used as assault infantry in the Toretsk direction.
In November 2024, trucks belonging to the 🇷🇺 12th Main Directorate crossed the border into Ukraine near 47.845276, 39.762979.
At that time we didn't know what their purpose was.
Now we do.
How did we identify the trucks? The double digit number on the right side of the license plates, "39", is exclusively used by the 12th Main Directorate (12 GU MO) and can be seen on every vehicle.

More Kurakhove transfers
After fighting in the Mariinka -> Kurakhove direction since the beginning of the war, Russia has started to transfer the 103rd Motor Rifle Regiment (MRR), MUN 91708, of the 150th Motor Rifle Division (MRD) towards Toretsk.

This move isn't very surprising, after all the frontline in the area south and around Kurakhove has shrunken considerably in the last three months.
Shown below is a very simplified Order of Battle of the area. 20th Army, 68th Corps and 114th Motor Rifle Brigade will likely remain

1/19 The purpose of this thread is to inform on the variety of shapes of official Russian military patches/chevrons/heraldry and their meanings. Each post will have the shape of the patch and an example of a unit it belongs to. 2/19 This first shape signifies the branch of the Russian army. The example is for the Russian Strategic Rocket forces.

Around the end of December 24, the remaining elements of the 810th Naval Infantry Brigade got moved from Pogrebki towards Kurilovka. Their positions at the northern Kursk frontline are now manned by the 34th Motor Rifle Brigade and the 22nd Motor Rifle Regiment.
The 810th Naval Infantry Brigade is the Russian unit that has suffered the most losses during the fighting in Kursk, which is also due to the fact that they were deployed there since the beginning.

Ukraine is currently conducting a counterattack on the eastern Kursk frontline. Who are the Russian units opposing them? A report from Romanov suggests
11th VDV Brigade
104th air assault div!
204th Akhmat
78th Akhmat
GROM Cascade
177th naval infantry
810th Naval infantry We will provide evidence and context for all these units.
Notably missing from this list is the 40th Naval Infantry Brigade, whereas Sudoplatov posted a video of one of their drones striking a Ukrainian T-64BV thats claimed to also take part in the attack.
