Exit for the third line of defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Zaporozhye region: whether there is a chance in the Armed Forces to reach Tokmak

The American Institute for War Study considers an important sign of progress in the counter -offensive of the passage of three levels of protection of the occupiers in the west of Zaporizhzhya region by Ukrainian armored vehicles. Another serious obstacle - the Russian Divisions of the Air Force, which actively use artillery and aviation, warn by military experts interviewed by focus.

The Ukrainian military managed to cross the last line of defense of Russian invaders in the west of Zaporizhzhya region. The Armed Forces have passed all three levels of protection of the invaders, the American Institute for Studying War has reported. Armored vehicles of the Armed Forces were noticed south of the anti -tank ditches and obstacles "Dragon's teeth" created by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Such maneuvers indicate the ability of Ukrainians to protect the breakthrough of the first two lines of this layer to carry out the technique. The Armed Forces suppressed Russian artillery and other anti -tank systems for removing machines forward. ISW states that this is an important sign of progress of the Ukrainian counter -offensive.

OSINT Analytics of the GeoconfirMED project confirmed the successes of the Armed Forces in the Zaporozhye direction-the mechanized parts crossed the so-called "Surovykin line". This is called a system of three protective lines: anti -tank trenches, concrete pyramids "Dragon teeth" and trenches. Its author is the excavator of combat operations in Ukraine Sergey Surovkin.

GeoconfirMed specifies that the air breakthrough of the Armed Forces was in the area without an advantage in the air and within the radius of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The essence of the operation was as follows: first, the scouts went forward and became entrenched in the trenches, and then the infantry units. Marder and Stryker armored vehicles were used for breakthrough.

The authors emphasize that the special operation of the Armed Forces was the most difficult. According to a military expert, the major of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexei Hetman, the release of the Armed Forces for the third line of defense of the enemy is quite possible. "With those forces and means in the Army of Ukraine, the ISW data look true. British intelligence earlier analyzed three lines of defense of the Russians.

About 60% of the time and effort went to the first line, in the other two - 20% for each" - " -" The expert recalled. Based on this ratio, the second and third lines should be three times weaker. Mines are installed between the lines, but not so tight, because the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation created corridors for movement, he continued.

"The breakthrough of the defense line is made in a narrow place, followed by armored vehicles, and the advanced groups attack the enemy's rear," - summed up the hetman. The successes of the Armed Forces in the West of the Zaporozhye region will create some opportunities for moving forward.

It all depends on the resource capabilities and it is unclear whether they are enough for the Ukrainian army to reach Tokmak, the reserve colonel, the former spokesman of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Vladislav Seleznev. "The Ukrainian defense forces oppose the four divisions of the Air Force in the Zaporozhye direction. The enemy actively uses artillery and aviation, conducts counterattacks, and the Armed Forces lose armored vehicles," he commented.

The intersection of "Surovikin lines", as Seleznyov points out, enables Ukrainian fighters to divert heavy equipment closer to other lines. "In the event of a lack of resources for the defeat of the invaders, the breakthrough of the Defense Forces of Ukraine may stop. This applies to hostilities in the Verbov area," he said. We will remind, in the General Staff of the Armed Forces on September 22 declared the continuation of the counter -offensive of the Ukrainian forces along the front line.
