The British intelligence noted that in recent weeks there has been a continuation of the trend that was discovered at the beginning of a full -scale invasion. It is said that the advantage in terrestrial battles is those who defend. The British Ministry of Defense said that the Ukrainian offensive in the south is static between the two main lines of well -prepared defense positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Whereas a large -scale Russian offensive was not successful near Avdiivka because of strong Ukrainian defense. "The main factor of this phenomenon was probably the relative side of tactical aviation," the intelligence message reads. The Britain's defense agency stressed that the Ukrainian and Russian sides have a reliable air defense that did not allow effective air support for combat aircraft for the assault.
The geographical scale of the conflict also hindered the offensive, as both sides tried to use the percussion forces that were capable of breakthrough, since most of the mobilized troops were needed to keep the 1200-kilometer line of contact. We will remind, analysts of the Institute of War Study in the report for November 2 told that the Russian military was preparing an attack on the Avdiivsky Coke Plant.
