Russia has conceived something. Two options for developments under Tokmak after an opponent's counterattack

Military expert Konstantin Mashovets captures several attempts by the counterattack from the Russians in the direction of Tokmak. In his opinion, most likely, it is not an attempt to promote, but a desire to squeeze the offensive of the Armed Forces. In the Tokmak direction of the enemy's command continues to attack "the flank of" strike grouping of Ukrainian troops.

And I understand why, because it is quite obvious that if it tries to stop these attacks-"trouble" in the defense strip of his 42nd Motorized Rifle Division (MSD) have every chance of recovering again. Therefore, the units of the 7th Airborne Division of the enemy (DSHD), namely its 108th and 247th landing regiments (DSP), stubbornly try to break through in the northwestern direction (this is towards small Tokmachka)-so far to no avail .

Similarly, on the opposite flank of the 104th DShP of the 76th DSHD, a couple of days ago made several attempts to "narrow" on the front of the inquiry of the advanced units of the Armed Forces in the first position of its main border of defense in the area of ​​Novoprokopivka. With the same result. At the same time, the units of the 70th Motorized Rifle Regiment (SME) of the enemy, the maintenance of 1429 SMEs TRV, tried to break into the southwestern outskirts of the robot.

Here the enemy seeks to push out our advanced units at least from the northern outskirts of the village of Novoprokopivka. Thus, it becomes clear that although these counterattacks do not bring any positive results to the enemy, but allow to slow down the promotion of the Orikhiv Group of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces in the southern direction.

Obviously, the main purpose of these actions, for which the enemy's command deliberately went to the "shaking" of its main "fire brigade" of the operational level (2 airborne assault divisions) is time. In this sense, there is an interesting question - why? The answer can be twofold: in this regard, it is worth remembering several events that have happened recently, namely: I think, in this sense, the situation will be more or less clear and become certain in the near future.
