Seems Russia has achieved a breakthrough around Avdiivka and might start to encricle the town
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
The fortified industrial section of Avdiivka is burning and getting smashed so bad the AFU called in a pair of MiG-29s for cover. Unfortunately the MiG-29s are driven away.
Bombing of Avdiivka seen through thermal vision.
Not just bombs, but massed artillery and MLRS strikes at Avdiivka too. This smells of a coming Russian offensive. There are reports of a Wagner unit in the area.
Ukrainian assault in Rabotino Novoprokovka area under heavy artillery bombardment by the 143rd Regiment and allegedly forced away.
Various stuff captured by Group O stormtroopers from the Ukrainians in Krasnoliman direction.
Homemade loitering munition is another way to refer to FPV drones. Here it's used in the Torske salient ahead of Russian small arrow offensives in the region.
FPV drones from the Beaver strikes a Ukrainian supply truck, T-64BV tank and BMP.
AFU howitzer hit and ammo cook off in Vuhledar direction.
Russian artillery hits a Ukrainian deployment point in Turya, Sumy region.
LMUR strike on hanger used by AFU might be an ammo depot.
Russian artillery working on Kupyansk direction takes out Ukrainian hangers, Krab SPG, counter battery against artillery installations.

Should be done long time ago but i guess they have other priorities.
Capture of Avdeevka will remove considerable portion of Ukrainian threat to Donetsk city as Avdeevka is apparently the source for most of Ukrainian punitive strike to Donetsk in shape or artillery strikes. The glory is probably equal to Azovstal and Bakhmut.
Multiple pro-Russian sources are saying Russians are in the vicinity of Berdychi, some are even saying Berdychi is entirely in Russian hands now.
There may be some progress in the south flank too, there are claims that Ukrainian defenses around Severnoye have been broken through:

So Ukraine has lost more area in it's counter offensive?
Avdeevka direction: AFU fleeing from their positions, leaving dead and wounded fighters behind
Footage taken by members of the Yugra battalion after a large-scale attack by the Russian Armed Forces in this direction.
Currently the AFU is on the verge of getting into a "cauldron", as earlier the Russian army managed to break through the positions of the AFU near the village of Berdichi.

Just looking at footage these days. Planes are getting more kills rather than just artillery footage only. Targets are all valuable targets like ammunition and command posts. Ukraine has being weakened enough that attack is possible. Once this is over, the territorial loss will accelerate as Ukraine is attrited more and more and less foriegn aid will arrive.

Russians definitely lied about their UAV ranges. Su-25 in the Dolgintsevo airfield gets smacked by a Lancet and this looks to be a straight kill. The range of the airfield from the Russian frontline is about 70-80km which is more than we expect of a Lancet, in addition to which we have the secondary Russian UAV loitering right over the base and capturing the footage.

I wouldn't get too excited about any possible "cauldron." In this entire war, Russia has only managed one encirclement in Mariupol. And even then it took months to eliminate the defenders.
Best case scenario - Russia surrounds Avdeevka on three sides, Ukraine loses a lot of troops, and Ukraine finally withdraws.
More likely scenario - nothing exciting happens in Avdeevka for the next half year. I remember in August when the Russians looked threatening towards Kupyansk. Several months later, and looks like Kupyansk isn't going to fall anytime soon.
