обстановка на півдні України: станом на 16.00 12.07
💥Одразу за влучним ураженням складів боєприпасів в Новій Каховці, артилерійським підрозділом було прицільно влучено в ще один склад боєприпасів в Чарівному

Russian forces made better use of EW, AD, counter-battery fire, dismounted infantry, armor (the rate of tank losses is far lower than in Feb-March), and units began procuring their own commercial UAVs, which they said was critical, particularly having enough to replace losses. 4/

Unlike in Feb-March, Russia maximized its advantage in fires. It wasn't pretty and the artillery strikes often weren't that accurate, but persistent artillery fire is tough for any soldiers to withstand and it eventually wore down Ukrainian units that couldn't always rotate. 5/

The nature of the salient was also disadvantages for Kyiv. In order to provide effective air defense and artillery coverage for the easternmost units, Kyiv would have to move long-range systems into the salient, which could be targeted by arty on the flanks. (map from June 11) 6/

Consequently, Russia was able to use airpower (though it still couldn't interdict) and artillery more effectively. It could use shorter-range MLRS like the TOS-1A with less risk of counter-battery fire because long-range Ukrainian arty was farther away. 7/

Not surprisingly, Russia had most of its success pushing westward from the easternmost part of the front, but Ukraine's northern and southern flanks largely held. The main strategic threat was that a large group of Ukrainian forces would be encircled, but this didn't occur. 8/

Russia's problem was that it was using a mix of amalgamated and volunteer/reserve/mobilized LDNR units for much of the fighting after sustaining heavy losses in Feb-March. So its advances were slow and depended heavily on having a significant advantage in fires to compensate. 9/

Some Russian sources have said the pace of Russia's advance depended on the presence of Orlan-30 UAVs, which, unlike Orlan-10, can laze targets for Krasnopol PGM artillery rounds. The use of commercial UAVs also became critical for both sides for ISR and artillery targeting. 10/
