📹 Footage shows Russian offense in Avdiivka direction is going.

🧐 Multiple analysts have predicted this outcome after seeing videos of large amount of Russian equipments moving close to each others. Sadly the analysts were right.

Ukrainian equipments loses from July 11 to October 10 at the low end:

-180 Tanks
- 222 Artillery guns + MLRS
- 491 Armored vehicles
- 9 Air crafts

Ukrainian came to an end and Russian offenses have started.

👤 will try to continue counting Ukrainian loses, but won't be as accurate as I'm getting busy and covering Middle Eastern news consume time.

👨‍💻 Analysis :

I have been asked what a better way can Russian forces take Avdiivka, they should use the same strategy as capturing Bakhmut with continuous none stop small local attacks attempting to encircle Avdiivka. Bakhmut wasn't captured by a big one push.

Good Morning

My own 2 cents worth

There are some similarities to Bakhmut but also some differences.

Avdeevka is more heavily fortified and has more industrial areas (large factories, quarries, mines)

Looks like they're going to try and cut the supply roads leading into Avdeevka before attacking the city itself.

As for criticism about going into columns, the area is heavily mined. So large units have no choice but to approach in a column through cleared roads/tracks.

IMO, they need a bigger concentration of Artillery and more airstrikes and better coordination for this sort of operation

2. An intersection just to the south of a major AFU line is reported to have been captured

The Russian Army captured some ground at Novomikhailovka in the past 2-3 days.

The battles at Novomikhailovka (south of Donetsk) and Avdeevka (north of Donetsk) are in a way connected

🇷🇺correspondent Lisitsin on his TG channel says the AFU has withdrawn from Sinkovka and that the Russians have entered it (as mentioned yesterday)....so far we don't have any video from there
