⚡️🇺🇦🌉🛤 @Rybar: How to Cut the Supply of the AFU Grouping near #Kherson⚡️

Throughout the Special Military Operation, we have regularly published lists of targets and provided our own analysis on critical Ukrainian infrastructure. In our view, the priority targets of the strikes were to be:

▪️ Bridges over the #Dnipro River (this would cut off the AFU grouping in the #Donbass);
▪️ Railway bridges in Western Ukraine and substations on the border with #Poland (this would cut off AFU supply from abroad);
▪️ Traction Substations (this would deprive the AFU of the ability to transfer reserves quickly by rail);
▪️ Depots and Recovery Trains (this would deprive the AFU of the ability to repair railway bridges and tracks).

We do not know the reasons why the decision to decommission the obvious targets was never taken. In this case, it is not that important.

Such measures have now been resorted to. At least energy and water infrastructure is being hit. Therefore, in the context of the forthcoming battle for #Kherson and possible complication of the operational and tactical situation Rybar's team prepared a list of targets that would help cut the railway supply of the AFU grouping in the #Nikolaev - #KrivoyRog direction.

❗️ The following stations are most convenient for unloading personnel and equipment:

#Apostolovo (there are loading ramps):

▪️ It is possible to block the station by hitting the following objects:
The bridge over the #Bazavluk River (electrified line to #Zaporozhye): 47.615765, 34.050716
Bridge over South Reservoir (electrified line to Krivoy Rog): 47.848247, 33.506936
Bridge over the #Kamenka River (non-electrified line to #Dnipropetrovsk): 47.740510, 33.774697

▪️ Interfere with traffic by hitting the station throats:
Northwest station neck: 47.663556, 33.688887
Southeast station neck: 47.653044, 33.700969

#Ingulets River (there are loading ramps and a developed network of freight tracks):

▪️ The station can be blocked by hitting the bridges within Krivoy Rog city limits:
Bridge over the #Ingulets River (electrified line towards Krivoy Rog-West station): 47.879503, 33.329674
Bridge over Saksagan River (electrified line around Krivoy Rog railway junction): 47.904202, 33.280725

▪️ The station has one neck (dead-end): 47.682659, 33.141004

#Dolinskaya (there are loading ramps):

▪️ Block the direction to #Nikolaev and #Pomoshnaya by hitting the railway overpass (non-electrified line to #Nikolaev). If it collapses, it will fall onto the tracks and traffic in both directions will be blocked.
Coordinates: 48.079247, 32.76237

▪️ The line to #Znamenka cannot be effectively blocked: there are no bridges or overpasses there. Therefore, the only option left is to hit the northern neck of #Dolinskaya station or, alternatively, to hit #Znamenka station. But there is a recovery train on the section.
Coordinates of the first point: 48.709239, 32.611207.
Coordinates of the second point: 48.688326, 32.620170.

▪️ Prevent transports by hitting the throats:
South station neck: 48.110104, 32.762684
North station neck: 48.123856, 32.756854

The strike on #Dolinskaya must necessarily take place at the same time as the strikes on the bridges in Krivoy Rog, otherwise the station cannot be cut off from the east.

#Trihats:

▪️ To effectively cut off the railway traffic, a single bridge strike is sufficient. The fire attack can be made both from the side of the Southern Bug and #Nikolaev. We give coordinates from the #Nikolaev side. The Southern Bug side is more difficult to repair, but easier to ensure delivery of building materials.
Coordinates: 47.145036, 31.847657

#Bereznegovatoye:

The station has been hit several times and the railway bed is partially destroyed. It can all be rebuilt. But provided the link with Krivoy Rog is cut, no additional impact on #Bereznegovatoye will be needed.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Kherson: Ukrainian Propaganda Fake Exposed 👻 - Situation in the #Snigirovka Front Section until the End of 8 Nov 2022⚡️

🚨 The Anatoly Shariya's video "Defeat of RF Armed Forces at Snigirovka", now actively published by Ukrainian and Russian sources, was shot more than a month ago in #Makeyevka, LPR. The cameraman's lens caught a Russian convoy hit by an AFU missile strike.

Coordinates: 49.224492, 37.977662

🩸 Amid rumours of the imminent withdrawal of Russian forces from the Right Bank and the abandonment of the north of the #Kherson region, Ukrainian formationd have been conducting combat reconnaissance in three areas: Posad-Pokrovskoye, #Berislav and #Snigirovka.

While in the first two the enemy suffered losses and retreated, heavy fighting took place in the morning in the #Snigirovka front section.

▪️ The enemy tried to break through by moving reserves from #Visunsk and #Bereznegovatoye.

▪️ We have no indications of a Ukrainian breakthrough. It is unclear whether the enemy managed to entrench themselves along the railway tracks on the northern outskirts of #Snigirovka. However, fighting is taking place along the northern edge of the city.

The settlement is now in the combat zone where aircraft, artillery and equipment are engaging the enemy. The 205th Brigade is holding the defences.

▪️ Polish and English-speaking mercenaries are involved in the offensive.

▪️ The AFU launched a missile attack on Russian equipment near #Snigirovka. They tried to cover the area where the convoys were forming. According to preliminary information, the equipment is on the move, there were no casualties, they got away with a light scare.

▪️ DPR People's Militia units continue their operation to flank the Ukrainian grouping in the #Avdeevka stronghold. Fighting has resumed for #Vodyanoye, #Opytnoye and #Pervomayskoye.

The capture of the settlements will make it possible to expand the security zone around the #Donetsk agglomeration and flank the AFU grouping in #Avdeevka.

#Dnipropetrovsk Region:

▪️ In the #Snigirovka sector, the enemy, after gathering reserves from #Visunsk and #Bereznegovatoye, managed to entrench on the northern outskirts of the #Snigirovka settlement itself near the railway tracks (unclear if done or only fights for).

Polish and English-speaking mercenaries are involved in the offensive.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Recently another Convoy of Military Equipment passed through #Dnepropetrovsk in a Western Direction⚡️

⚓️ 133 units and about 600 militants
, probably from the Marine Corps Command of the Ukrainian Navy.

▪️ 19 combat reconnaissance and amphibious vehicles, 3 BTR-70s, 1 BTR-4E, 1 Humvee IFV, 1 IFV, 2 ZiL-131-based control and communication vehicles passed through #Dnepropetrovsk on their own. Additionally, 3 Krab SAU, 1 Gvozdika SAU, 2 BRDMs, and 1 Humvee IFV were on the trawls.

▪️ 3 TMM-3 heavy mechanised heavy bridges were seen along with the rest of the equipment. This indicates the transfer of engineering formations to the #Kherson direction.

❗️The ongoing transport of equipment and personnel to the west confirms that the AFU intends to carry out a largescale operation in #Crimea and the #Kherson region. In #Bereznegovatoye and #Vladimirovka in the #Nikolayev region, the headquarters of the 35th and 36th Separate Marines Brigades have already been deployed.

📌 And now, while the "Cannon Fodder" from the Territorial Defence forces is trying to gain a foothold in the island zone of the #Dnieper, the AFU command continues to form a strike force along the river and the #Dnieper-Bug estuary.
