The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
Dont exactly remember.. think it was 2014-2016's. along with BTR-4's.
I heard a report of around 13 Ukrainian tanks that ran into a minefield and were destroyed or immobilized, said to be around the Andriivka area. The minefield itself was laid previously by the Ukrainians some time before the Russians took over the area.
The Russians look weak around the Izyium area, but I smell they might be baiting there.

Belgorod, Russia.
During the launch of one of the Iskander OTRK missiles at the infrastructure facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kharkov, there were failures and the missile fell outside the city.

While the news of the failed actions of the Kyiv regime's formations in the south is just a diversionary ploy, the AFU may have conceived a REAL offensive in the Kharkiv region. In fact, not everything is right. The problem with analysts is that they don't have access to sensitive information, although they certainly go to great lengths to pass off open source work as privileged information. Indeed, against the background of attacks in the south, the Kyiv regime was able to concentrate additional forces and assets in the northern section.
And here everything is like in the south. Polish version of the T-72. Heterogeneous drilling machine with wheels and tracks. AFU personnel who have been trained throughout the NATO world. The tactics are already clear: the intelligence means reveal weaknesses on the front line, where there are not many strengths and means identifying gaps. It all starts with a fire destruction of the lines of communication with high-precision missile weapons, continues with massive artillery attacks on the front lines and assault detachments enter the battle. Events on the southern segment of the front showed that everything was quiet only on paper.
The AFU may attempt to launch strike combat operations in the Balakleya area. More precisely, between Izyum and Balakleya. But for a deep advance, the AFU doesn't have enough strength nor the combat control quality of these forces. The war has already shown that no more than 200 people from BTG are really advancing. And despite the support of artillery and tanks, the artillery barrage stops the thick and if the enemy goes to the defense line to start a fire battle, the defending units give the guests a limit or retreat so that the artillery can finish off the enemy. Local success in the course of the regime's training actions is possible, but the AFU will not be able to consolidate this success. They lack the aviation, reserves, and command-and-control quality to do so. We will observe how the next actions on the ground with a deplorable end will be taken by the regime in the field of information to a significant “overcoming”.
To finish:
In the Dry Stavok settlement area it was blocked by the 57th battalion of motorized infantry and at the moment artillery fire is destroying the remains of the unit. 12 tanks were dropped over the Ingulets River to clear the blockade, which, before reaching the crossing, exploded with precise hits. Only five tanks were able to return. Boris reported that members of the AFU's 35th Marine Brigade tried to use rubber boats to form the Ingulets River in the Davydov Brod area and were destroyed. Several tanks were destroyed, trying to cross the moving river. For nearly a day, Russian forces inflicted fire damage on Ukrainian reserves at Andreevka.
The start of the Ukrainian offensive simultaneously in several directions was not expected. Separate counter-offensive actions were envisaged to prevent slower penetration by the AFU. Such a large-scale build-up of forces and equipment passed through specialized channels and the media, and a specific date for the offensive was also not foreseen. This indicates that the decision to attack is a political one, and is not due to the combat readiness of AFU units for the successful fulfillment of objectives. An advance was not allowed to Kherson, the front as a whole survived. Understanding from which directions the blow would be delivered, the Russian units were able to organize pockets of fire (kill zone) for the enemy.
Frontline soldiers report signs of the Ukrainian military's use of mentally active substances that suppress fear and pain. Previously, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine allowed irrecoverable losses in this operation up to 30% of the personnel. The very fact of the transition to active defense says that the AFU is trying to take the initiative (to impose its will on the battlefield), and not just in Kherson's direction.

Heavy lift helicopters like Mi-26 is sufficient. They don't necessarily need to use Il-76. Helicopters fly low and are practically undetectable to ground based radars.
KMT was busy organizing pointless and expensive offensives for same reason. You need to ensure you sponsors that it is worth it to invest into this war. Ukraine need around 9 $ billions each month just to sustain its economy and it is without cost of arms that are provided. Slow grind by atillery and advancement of Russian troops had too favorable trade ratio for Russia.
Russians are claiming that Ukrainian attempted an assault near the NPP via boats, Russian air support came and pushed them back.
