⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦 ✈️ The AFU lost two Mi-8MSBs in 24 Hours⚡️

The Air Force has already lost two Ukrainian Mi-8 aircraft in 24 hours today. A couple of hours ago we identified the crash site of the Mi-8MSB in #Konstantinovka, and some time ago Daniil Bezsonov published a video of another downed UAV. A little later there was footage from the Ukrainian side.

Coordinates: 48.794467, 38.267915

The Military Intelligence channel makes a neat suggestion that the downed Mi-8 near #Spornoye may have belonged to Russian army aviation.

It was not!

The Mi-8 was flying along the route #Berestovoye - #Spornoye along the line of contact. After it was hit by a MANPADS air defence system, the aircraft was driven towards the Russian positions in #Nikolaevka.

Explanation:

▪️ as @lostarmour (thanks Kloch4) write on the forum, the helicopter is missing a DISS unit under the beam. So it could either be an Mi-8MSB-V VVSU, or a Russian aircraft of rare special configuration that simply has no business being on the front line;

▪️ Those versed in war specify that Russian Mi-8s do not fly to the line of contact alone: they are always accompanied by attack helicopters. The only exceptions are sorties by SAR teams, but the Air Force aircraft have not been shot down today.

▪️ The front line southeast of #Spornoye runs along the eastern edge of the road. Separate AFU units regularly make forays behind the leading edge and push through the Russian Armed Forces' defences in #Nikolaevka;

▪️ All Ukrainian Mi-8 aircraft of all possible modifications are used to provide fire support to the advancing units: they are operated both with machine guns and using "bushfire" launchers with rocket-propelled grenades.

Judging by internal AFU reports, Ukrainian formations are reporting "heavy positional fighting" west of #Kuzemovka almost daily, with 200 metres of territory "captured" and "abandoned" at a time.

On the map this looks like a constantly changing frontline, although in fact it is a rather conventional control of the fields in the "grey zone".

➖ A motorized infantry company, which had been detached by the AFU command to cover the retreat of the assault groups, came under targeted artillery fire and hastily withdrew to the river having lost a significant personnel.

▪️ The AFU forces tried to entrench themselves with up to a company under the cover of light armoured vehicles in the forest belt towards #Ploshchanka. A counterattack by fighters of the 3rd Motorized Rifle Division of the 20th Army dispersed the enemies and put them on the rout.

▪️ Enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups regularly cross the Seversky Donets River near #Serebryanka and conduct reconnaissance battle near #Dibrova.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ About the True Situation in #Bakhmut Direction at 8 Nov 2022⚡️

In recent days, unreliable information has appeared about the situation in the #Bakhmut direction. Therefore, I have contacted the guys on the ground and am reporting to you the true situation as of 8 November 2022:

▪️ Wagner PMC units have eliminated one of the two strongholds on the #Nikolaevka 2 - Gorlovka road section and advanced towards #Kurdyumovka;

▪️ Musicians also eliminated four AFU strongholds west of #Otradovka, advancing significantly towards #Andreevka and #Kleshcheevka;

▪️ The #Soledar suburb of #Bakhmutskoye was completely cleared; the Wagnerians joined their right flank with units of the 6th Cossack Regiment of the LPR People's Militia at the KNAUF-Gypsum factory;

▪️ The storming of #Belogorovka continues. Wagner PMC units expanded their control zone in the village to the north of the road. In #Belogorovka itself, AFU units have established a major stronghold - the advance is complicated by heavy mine contamination, private buildings with long-term firing points and dugouts connected by communication passages.

▪️ Fighting continues near #Berestovoye, #Spornoye, #Verkhnekamenskoye, to the east and southeast of #Bakhmut, as well as in the northern #Belogorovka area, west of #Lysychansk.
