The Armed Forces reflected the largest tank offensive of the Russian Federation near Avdiivka: what is the success of tactics?

It happened in the area of ​​Avdiivka of Donetsk region. When smoke was scattered from the fighting, a third of the 36 Russian tanks remained on the west of the city, writes Forbes magazine. The "expensive attack", as the publication points out, was unexpected. A few weeks before the storming of the Russian regiments and brigades, the equipment was clearly lacking after losses in Avdiivka in mid -February 2024.

When trying to occupy the city, attacks on the western part were accompanied by infantry storms. The situation has changed dramatically in recent days - the enemy has received again and used armored vehicles. In addition to the tanks, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation used 12 armored vehicles for the march from the 6th Tank Regiment of the Russian Army. During the Armed Forces, 12 tanks and eight BMPs were shot down.

The standard defense tactics of the Armed Forces are to identify a group of Russian assault rifles and strike on artillery. Those who survived after arrival become a light target for FPV. This scheme of battles has been invented after the end of the sending of American assistance to Kiev, starting in October, the publication indicates.

The victory of the 25th Separate Security Air Airborne Brigade of the Armed Forces over such large and well-armed forces of the invaders shows that, despite the lack of artillery ammunition, Ukrainians are able to organize rigid defense, skillfully combining attacks of mines, anti-tank rockets and drone. "The Ukrainian forces have lost most of the heavy ammunition. A multi-year shell deficit has prompted Ukraine to expand the production of FPV-punks.

The network of small workshops now produces more than 50,000 drones a month,"-writes Forbes magazine. Focus interviewed military experts confirm the fact of a successful stop of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Russia.

According to the Colonel of the Armed Forces, the military analyst Sergiy Grabsky, the defeat of the tank brigade is a "conditional success", because the Russians broke through part of the positions of the Armed Forces and now there is a difficult situation under the village of Toneyke. "The Russians paid a lot of price, but if you take even Deepstate (the resource denotes the territory of the village of Toneyke as temporarily occupied, - ed.

) Grabovsky focuses on the actual absence of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces. If the Russians go up the map, it is extremely difficult to predict where they will be stopped. "Defensive fortifications you will not build on every kilometer. The border was behind Avdiivka, now his breakthrough.

The Russians are indifferent to the losses, in the Avdiivsky direction they spend resources on solving the task: to gain the maximum benefits at a tactical level and to create conditions for further advance ", - adds the expert. Large -scale attacks of the territory of Ukraine for the Russian Federation are not yet impossible, but the cost of resources in the main directions is entirely. The loss of a tank battalion in one battle is expensive, but the invaders will not stop it.

Successful protection against tank attacks, especially in the Avdiivka area, where the Armed Forces have been forced to go to new defensive positions, proves the ability of the Ukrainian military to reflect future large -scale attacks, including the expected attack of Russia in the summer of 2024, indicate analysts of the Institute of War (ISW). The readiness of the Russian military command to send a battalion of tanks to the attack near Avdiivka.

The projected at the end of spring-summer 2024, the offensive operation will focus on the west of Donetsk region, experts say. Losses of about 50 pieces of equipment and live power in the absence of a significant result are a clear failure of the invaders. On the other hand, the Armed Forces artillery could not work in full, which once again reminded the shortage of shells, explains the focus of the coordinator of the group "Information Resistance", military expert Alexander Kovalenko.

The situation in the Avdeevsky direction is largely facilitated by the fact that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation spent the potential during the assault of Avdiivka. Such large -scale attacks of the Russian Federation using a mechanized component is far from a massive phenomenon. This is a really unique case since the beginning of 2024, says Kovalenko. "The invaders do not intend to stop. They are tasked with creating a semicircle - a buffer around Avdiivka.

It means the capture of Berdychiv, Stepov, Orlovka, thin and northern. While the semicircle is not closed, the assault will be constantly," Kovalenko summed up. We will remind, the commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Syrsky called Kharkiv "Fatal City" for the Russians. Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov announced the absence of panic in a city where 1. 3 million people remain. Focus earlier wrote that the occupiers could not fully use the capture of Avdiivka of Donetsk region.
