Avdiivka's occupation: Russian troops for the first

Apparently, this was the first time after a full -scale invasion. About it writes "Institute of War Study" in the summary of February 17. On February 17, a representative of the Ukrainian brigade near Avdiivka stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had released 60 controlled bombs in Ukrainian positions in the city. According to other data, in the last few days there were about 500.

According to the commander of the operational-strategic group of Tavriya troops "brigade General Alexander Tarnavsky, on February 14, Russian troops have attacked 73 air strikes in the Taurian direction (in the direction of Avdiivka through the western part of the Zaporozhye region), This amount became a record on the background of a tactical bypass in Avdiivka.

According to the Prokremlivsky blogger, in the last 48 hours of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation released 250 fugas airbombs, which planned, one area of ​​Avdiivka. Most Russian sources believe that the use of managed bombs has enabled Russian troops to overcome the defense of the Armed Forces in Avdiivka. Some bloggers of the Russian Federation claimed that in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation the advantage in the air.

Since the beginning of 2023, the occupation group of troops gradually increased the number of controlled bombs throughout the front line.
