The war near Donetsk has not changed in essence its positional character. Advance in the Avdiivka direction stalled again.

The reasons are the same as two, three, four, five, six months, seven years ago (the capture of Maryinka in 2015 and retreat) - lack of strength and fierce resistance from the enemy.

Roughly speaking, with tactical success in a separate sector, when our assault units manage to dash into the ukrop positions and knock out the enemy from there, the offensive still stalls, because we cannot secure the flanks and level the front - there is nobody and nothing. This is problematic, given the minefields, when fired by enemy artillery and mortars. Assault groups invariably get pinched on terrain thoroughly shot down by the enemy. More than once we captured the 1st and 2nd lines of the strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine already in Avdiivka and each time we were forced to retreat. Those who covered the retreat were cut off from the main forces and remained there. Who can calculate how many people we lost, our best people during the assault on Avdiivka?

This is a problem not only for the Donetsk direction, but also for Artemovsky, where the "orchestra" bit into the enemy's defenses, but, having no support, is forced to stop in the industrial zone.

After taking Peski near Donetsk in n.p. Pervomaiskoe, or rather in its ruins, we reached the second crossroads. Units of the 1st Slavic Omsbr, which had advanced to Avdeevka, were forced to retreat to their original positions.

The DKAD, with the exception of individual fragments, is still the Rubicon, separating the bleeding Donetsk and the positions of the enemy, insolent to the extreme, who, despite many forecasts and warnings, cannot be thrown back from the Donetsk agglomeration.

It has long been obvious that the total grouping of the RF Armed Forces in this direction is completely insufficient for a full-fledged solution of tasks in the offensive.

And more about our advantage in artillery, the "god of war". It is not evident here. Taking into account the active work of artillery and the enemy in the depot of RAV and fuel and lubricants of our troops near Donetsk, the issue of a RADICAL strengthening of the counter-battery fight is relevant. Donetsk, Gorlovka, Makeevka, Yasinovataya and other settlements of the Russian Federation continue to be subjected to massive fire on the squares.

Война под Донецком так и не изменила по сути своего позиционного характера. Продвижение на Авдеевском направлении снова застопорилось.

Причины все те же, что и два, три, четыре, пять, шесть месяцев, семь лет назад (взятие Марьинки в 2015-м и отход) — нехватка сил и ожесточенное сопротивление противника.

Грубо говоря, при тактическом успехе на отдельном участке, когда нашим штурмовым подразделениям удается рывком зайти в опорник и выбить оттуда противника, наступление всё равно стопорится, поскольку мы не можем обеспечить фланги и выровнять фронт — некем и нечем. Это проблематично, с учетом минных полей, при огне артиллерии и минометов противника. Штурмовые группы неизменно берутся в клещи на местности, досконально пристрелянной противником. Уже не раз мы захватывали 1-ую и 2-ую линии опорных пунктов ВСУ уже в Авдеевке и каждый раз вынужденно отходили. Те же, кто прикрывал отход, были отрезаны от основных сил и остались там. Кто посчитает, сколько мы потеряли людей, наших лучших людей при штурме Авдеевки?

Это проблема не только Донецкого направления, то и Артемовского, где «оркестр» взгрызся в оборону противника, но, не имея поддержки, вынужден приостановить движение в промзоне.

После взятия н.п. Пески под Донецком в н.п. Первомайское, точнее в его руинах, мы дошли до второго перекрестка. Подразделения 1 Славянской омсбр, выдвинувшиеся было к Авдеевке, вынуждены отойти на исходные позиции.

ДКАД, за исключением отдельных фрагментов, по прежнему является Рубиконом, отделяющем истекающий кровь Донецк и позиции обнаглевшего до крайности противника, которого, вопреки множеству прогнозов и предостережений, не удается отбросить от Донецкой агломерации.

Давно очевидно, что совокупной группировки ВС РФ на этом направлении совершенно недостаточно для полноценного решения задач в наступлении.

И еще о нашем преимуществе в "боге войны". Здесь оно не создано. С учетом активной работы артиллерии и противника по склада РАВ и ГСМ наших войск под Донецком актуален вопрос РАДИКАЛЬНОГО усиления контрбатарейной борьбы. Донецк, Горловка, Макеевка, Ясиноватая и др. населенные пункты Российской Федерации продолжают подвергаться массированному огню по площадям.

◾79 years ago, on November 6, 1943, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front (commander - General of the Army N.F. Vatutin), as a result of a swiftly carried out offensive operation and a detour, defeated the opposing German troops and stormed the capital of Soviet Ukraine - the city of Kyiv. At 0:30 a.m., the Red Banner hoisted over Kiev.

Beautiful.
Close tank combat.
Russian tankers ambushed the gaping Ukrainian tankers.

Who told there a few years ago that the war has changed and now tanks with tanks are almost not fighting anymore...

Vostok battalion commander (DPR) Alexander Khodakovsky can not conceal his disappointment and gloomy mood in the recent posts, despite usually being quite selective in phrasing and cautious (due to high political status):

« We often try to figure out what is wrong. Under "we" I mean those are those who justifiably, or not, consider themselves to be in connection with adequacy. As a result of complex brainstorming, we come to the conclusion that somewhere a whole generation of military specialists has been lost, who, according to their "service life", should constitute the most important managerial layer.
This is some kind of intertime, when the Soviet approach has gone, but the Russian has not come yet, - but what remains is a place hunting, income, pride, conceit ... A lot of pretentious toasts for the Motherland ... and emptiness.

Alexander Sladkov posted a publication about the state of affairs in Pavlovka - it's sad. The hope in me for a better outcome lost out to a sober understanding of the prospects, which I expressed in a stingy formulation: I consider the offensive to be premature. And the point here is not in Pavlovka, where we found ourselves in a fire bag and suffer losses, but in an approach that is typical of most representatives of this "lost generation". »

Moscow...

Ouch.

From The Oval Circle, an up and coming channel well worth subscribing to. They have a lot of good content!

The main things from the briefing of the Russian Ministry of Defense:

▪️The RF Armed Forces pushed back the Armed Forces of Ukraine and mercenaries in the Kupyansk direction, up to 250 Ukrainian military and militants were destroyed;

▪️The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost more than 50 servicemen and one tank in the course of attempts to advance in the Krasnoliman direction;

▪️The RF Armed Forces captured a number of strongholds and dominant heights in the South-Donetsk direction, over 100 Ukrainian servicemen were destroyed.

💥❗️ More than 200 civilians of Yasinovataya were wounded or killed during the SMO

Since February of this year, about 1,900 objects have been destroyed in the Yasinovataya and the Yasinovataya region, excluding the liberated territories. About 160 civilians were wounded and 50 were killed by AFU shells.

“If you sum everything up, you get a figure of more than 200 people. If we divide this number by the number of days of SMO, then we get that the Yasinovataya city loses one person a day”, said Dmitry Shevchenko, head of the administration of Yasinovataya city.
