"The enemy directed artillery along the forest strip, but this did not prevent the fighters from storming the "green house", displacing the occupants and acquiring trophies, including a DShK machine gun."
➡️The AFU has entrenched itself inside Staromaiors'ke and is advancing to Urozhaine ➡️RU forces retreated from Nadiya (west of Raihorodka) which was captured yesterday. "Front line leveled off". ➡️RU forces did a failed counterattack near Kurdyumivka
Russia launched a surprise offensive along the Northern front in Luhansk, using their infamous Storm-Z assault detachments. By now, they have established a solid bridgehead across the Zerebets river, as Ukraine is urgently sending reinforcements to the 2nd line of defense. Russia's goal is to push all the way until the Oskol river.
Khodakovsky confirms the liberation of Staromaiorske, but says it's not going to be easy for Ukrainians in its ruins. At the same time, he says that occupying the village were the so-called former "DPR" forces that are extremely battered. This shows significant issues for Russia with regards to being able to rotate troops and bring fresh reserves. They have guys fighting there who've been fighting for years now.
note: Alexander Sergeevich Khodakovsky is the commander of the pro-Russian Vostok Battalion formed in early May 2014.
Russian forces leaving their positions and getting targeted in Staromaiors'ke. Today the General Staff reported that the AFU has advanced in/near the settlement. Footage from the Aeronauts recon unit that shared footage from the village earlier.
note: the list of KIA is very interesting. normal soldiers won't usually have that kind of list.
A Ukrainian T-72M1 tank was destroyed by the Russian army and another one was damaged and abandoned near Robotyne, #Zaporizhzhia. A BMP-1 IFV was also abandoned nearby.
Ukraine, which is known for agriculture and other heavy industry, is not an obvious setting for drone innovation. But due to the war, the country turned rapidly into a super lab of invention in drone warfare using AI, The Washing Post writes.
A French AMX-10 RC Wheeled-Armored Fighting Vehicle is claimed to have been Captured by Russian Forces after a recent Ukrainian Assault on the Frontline in the Zaporizhzhia Region.
note: there is mix response to this 1981 vehicle... some in the world says good, some in the world says bad, some say its a hybrid failure, haven't seen anything Ukrainian said anything about this, the AFU said quite often the M2 Bradley is good at protecting the crew and passengers.
