There's crazy amounts of defenses. It's a concrete jungle with bunkers and tunnels.
The coming assault will almost certainly not be clean and glamorous, it will more likely be similar to Soledar.

Why does Russia opt for Culdron for Adivvika i.nstead of encirclement like Mariupol?
russia will likely not attempt assault on avdeevka if it cannot surround it. if no more significant progress in a couple of days it is more likely that russia will not attempt to take avdeevka and fucos on kupynaski instead.
Nothing more to make out of it than many of us have made from day one of the war.
The US's assistance, encourage and promises to Ukraine was to destroy or weaken Russia's position in Europe since the end of WWII, that is all US cares. Ukraine retaking Donbas is a bonus but not US objective, Ukraine becomes ruin is the price that US is willing to pay so long as the new Berlin wall is built between EU and Russia. Ukraine's tragedy has been determined in 2005. It isn't something new that just happened today that would surprise many of us.
To cut them out until exhaustion, it's a fortress, litterally. Could even wait months before going in. If they can cut them out from the rest, they can secure Donetz and continue elsewhere. They have enough troops to keep them inside if they are able to close the door completely.
Assuming there are no tunnels that link to the rear areas.
Compilation of some of Sudoplatov Battalion's recent FPV attacks. Not all were shown. Despite heavy EW jamming, the drones find their mark, and a UAV is used to confirm the strikes. All these occuring in the Rabotino Verbove area. Ukrainian observation towers and dugouts being destroyed ss Ukrainians are now holed up in their positions.
Similar selection of work by the Beaver indicates heavy electronic interference by the Ukrainians with the jammer hidden in the dugout. However it doesn't stop the drone flying to its target and the Russians use another UAV to confirm the kill. These observation UAVs do not appear to be Orlans but I suspect them to be Supercam S-350s.

it looks like avdeevka offensive has stalled, another failure to prove that neither side has found the answer yet to break the WWI style deadlock.
Footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" on the British 155-mm AS-90 self-propelled gun of the Ukrainian army. In total, the Ukrainian army received 32 AS-90 self-propelled guns. These are the first frames where the destruction of the AS-90 self-propelled gun is clearly visible. After the drone hit the AS-90 self-propelled gun a fire started that completely destroyed the combat vehicle.Judging by the video, three of the four crew members managed to leave the combat vehicle.
