Misuse of engineering equipment and troops weighing against the Ukrainians in the defense of Bakhmut, according to @milchronicles.
Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut have a shortage of engineering equipment. What will this lead
to According to the Military Chronicle, from the beginning of November to December 15, the engineering support groups of the 54th and 30th brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the southern part of Bakhmut (Artemovsk) lost at least 15 units of special equipment necessary for the construction of fortifications, dugouts and trenches.
APU equipment was often misused. MDK-3 pit diggers, IMR-2 engineering barrier vehicles, and BAT-2 track-laying vehicles were converted into ammunition delivery vehicles and self-propelled gun emplacements. Because of this, the machines were often destroyed or damaged.
The shortage of engineering equipment is especially acute in the area of Experimental and Kleshcheevka. Here the Ukrainian infantry is gradually losing control over the first and second lines of defense. It is extremely difficult to prepare a third line of defense closer to city blocks without the right amount of special equipment.
At the same time, most of the engineering units in the city were retrained as ordinary infantry back in September. Many soldiers and officers from these formations have died or are in hospitals.
Freezing weather aggravates the situation. Due to the weather, the speed of digging deep trenches with the help of the remaining MDK-3 installations slows down by four to five times. The technology of digging trenches and trenches is not respected: the positions are not fortified and collapse inside after each shelling.
In addition, there is a shortage of building materials in Bakhmut. Wood, concrete, reinforcement, crushed stone and other materials to create new and strengthen broken positions, there is no one and nothing to import.
