⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎 Boris Rozhin, Expert of the Centre for Military and Political Journalism on the AFU Offensive⚡️

The 40 days of the enemy's offensive in the Zaporozhye direction allow us to conclude that the initial plans for an offensive by the AFU with #NATO support have failed in all directions of the main strikes.

In the #Orekhov section the offensive of the AFU bogged down in the area of #Pyatikhatki and #Rabotino, and in the area of the #Vremyevka ledge the enemy was stuck in the area of #Priyutnoye, #Makarovka, #Urozhaynoye and #Novodonetskoye.

According to leaked AFU operational documents, most of these settlements were supposed to be captured on the third or fifth day of the offensive and further develop strikes on #Vasilyevka, #Tokmak, #Pologi, #Volnovakha in order to achieve strategic goals related to access to #Melitopol and breakthroughs to #Berdyansk and #Mariupol in order to cut the land corridor along the coast of the Sea of Azov.

During the winter and spring of 2023, huge amounts of weapons were transferred to the AFU for such plans: tanks, IFVs, APCs, MRAPs, SAUs, towed artillery, aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, and engineering equipment. It was for this purpose that strategic reserve brigades were being prepared for several months in #Ukraine and in the West, which were supposed to break through the Russian front and turn the tide of hostilities in favour of the AFU.

But the reality turned out to be different. The heroic and stubborn resistance of Russian troops, coupled with competent work on the engineering preparation of defensive positions, thwarted the enemy's plans. The Russian command deliberately gave the initiative to the enemy in the #Zaporozhye direction, suggesting that the AFU try to break through the echeloned defence in order to exhaust and exhaust the enemy's strike forces.

In part, this has already been done. Kiev has not wasted all of its accumulated forces, but some of the strike brigades, which were assembled with such difficulty with the help of the West, are already badly exhausted and have suffered heavy losses in men and materiel, which has also led to a drop in morale.

Moreover, having failed in the #Zaporozhye region, which was also recorded in the West, the AFU hastily tried to increase the pressure on the operation in the #Artyomovsk direction, throwing some reserves there in order to achieve at least small successes.

Also part of the reserves that were supposed to develop success (which did not happen) in #Zaporozhye were thrown into the #Svatovo and #Kupyansk directions, but with another task - to try to stop the advance of Russian troops to the #Oskol River and #Kupyansk.

This situation breaks the original configuration of the AFU offensive in the most important parts of the front. Of course, all this has become so obvious that following the Western military analysts, the mainstream Western press and the Ukrainian military themselves, who see the bloody results of the offensive with insignificant results, started talking about the failure of the June offensive of the AFU.

And of course, there are questions to the Ukrainian command, which continues to drive people to "meat assaults" in order to achieve at least a media victory and justify the previous losses (only in the #Zaporozhye direction the irrecoverable losses of the AFU amounted to almost 30 thousand people).

But in the end, the bloody price of the failed offensive continues to grow, which is especially evident in the fighting in the area of the previously little-known village of #Pyatihatki.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🛰 Satellite Reconnaissance of #Kherson Region⚡️

🇺🇸 US military satellites continue to survey some areas of the #Kherson region. As a rule, it is the "Topazs" that determine the importance of an object and the validity of striking it with Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles.

🗓 Over the past month, the satellites have been most active in monitoring the situation at the Tavria Recreation Centre in #Strelkovoye, near the bridge in #Chongar, in the village of #Novoalekseyevka, at the #Armyansk border checkpoint, as well as in #Alekseyevka and #Sokologornoye.

📌 The fact that the Americans are focusing on reconnaissance of these areas indicates possible preparations for a strike on them. And in order not to have another tragedy, as it happened in #Berdyansk, it is necessary to pay special attention to such activity.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 17 October 2023; pub. 07:00📍

▪️ At night, Geranium UAVs hit enemy facilities in #Odessa region. Explosions were recorded in #Odessa, the UAVs flew towards the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky district. Rocket attacks were made in the area of #Voznesensk in #Nikolayev region and #Slavyansk (part of the #DPR occupied by the AFU). On the #Kherson front, a FAB-1500 hit an enemy temporary deployment point near #Berislav.

▪️ On the #Zaporozhye front near #Verbovoye, the AFU threw new infantry and equipment into the battle. Late units from the 71st Brigade, the 118th Mechanized Brigade, the 82nd Separate Air Assault Brigade and a part of the 10th Army Corps. The Nazis failed to retake the occupied positions, and in addition, in the midst of the movement of AFU equipment, it began to rain, which limited the enemy's mobility.

▪️ In the #Avdeyevka sector, the RF Armed Forces are consolidating in previously occupied positions, artillerymen are firing at enemy fortifications and locking the AFU with fire in their positions, preventing rotation, the supply of personnel and ammunition.

▪️ In the #Kupyansk direction, against the background of the Russian successes in the area of #Sinkovka, the enemy command decided to transfer tank units of the AFU's 41st Mechanized Brigade to this section of the front.

▪️ Over the past day, the situation in the #Kherson direction was characterised by mutual artillery shelling. The enemy is also hitting the civilian population. Yesterday the head of the region reported that an 82-year-old woman in #Alyoshki and a 52-year-old civilian in Cossack Camps were wounded.

▪️ From #Berdyansk in #Zaporozhye region, local groups report that our air defence was working all night, with the enemy's main strike concentrated on the airport area. In #Belgorod region, 3 aircraft-type UAVs were shot down by the air defence system in Yakovlevsky city district and Belgorod district. In the #DPR, a civilian was wounded as a result of shelling by the AFU.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎯 About the AFU Missile Strike on #Berdyansk⚡️

🔹According to clarified information, Ukrainian formations used not only 👉 ATACMS (photos of M74 cluster submunition wreckage have appeared online), but also a cheaper version of the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb, or simply GLSDB, to strike the #Berdyansk Airfield.

🚀 Six missiles were fired, three of which were shot down by air defence crews, while the other three hit their targets.

🔹 Both GLDSB and ATACMS are used from ground-based M270 MLRS and HIMARS launchers, and both have ranges in excess of 150 km. The most likely launch area given the combat radius is the #Zaporozhye region.

💥 As a result of the combined attack, an ammunition depot was hit and several helicopters were damaged of varying degrees.

❗️Apparently, the command did not expect such a strike on the airfield, although there were warnings about a possible raid.

📌 The appearance of ATACMS, GSLDB or other new long-range missiles will make adjustments in the use of army aviation. Otherwise, the situation with #Chernobayevka at the beginning of the SMO will be repeated, when carelessness cost the loss of several aircraft on the ground.
