The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation went to defense near Kharkiv through the Kursk region: in Vovchansk use the Bratino Tos-1A,-ISW
About it writes "Institute of War Study" in the summary of September 23. The deputy commander of the Ukrainian UAV battalion, which operates in the Kharkiv direction, believes that the emergence of Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region could influence the situation on the front line in Kharkiv. The transition to the defense is explained by the relocation of units of the 155th Marine Corps from the north of the Kharkiv region in Kursk.
Sarantsev also noted that Russian troops strengthen positions and improve logistics on the line of deep-dweller to prepare for future attempts to regain lost positions. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Russian troops attacked near the Lipts on September 23, the ISW watched the footage, first published on September 3, which show that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had slightly advanced west of the deep.
According to Sarantsev, Russian troops continue to change the territory in the north of the Kharkiv region using the MINs of PFM-1 "Lepstok"-this is a difficult task for Ukrainian troops through camouflage and plastic design of mines. At the same time, representatives of the Armed Forces reported that Russian troops continue offensive operations northeast of Kharkiv and attacked near Vovchansk and quiet on September 22 and 23.
According to the Armed Forces, Russian troops strengthen their positions near the old woman and evacuate the wounded from the leading positions near the settlement. Sarantsev added that Russian troops are increasingly used by Tos-1A thermobaric artillery systems against the territory at an aggregate plant in Vovchansk, trying to unblock Russian troops currently at the factory, which leads to cases of "fire on their own".
Kharkiv representative also noted that the Russian forces can use large underground structures of the aggregate plant as a shelter. For the delivery of goods to Russian servicemen, blocked at the aggregate plant, use drones. In the leading positions in the direction of Kharkiv to replenish the reserves of Russian troops also use 1-3 armored vehicles of Soviet times.
