Under the pressure of the North Koreans, the Armed Forces use the river as a barrier - Forbes

But the long rows of the North Korean infantry, which traveled open fields in broad daylight, came across the wall of the Ukrainian Fire Mix. All, except for one, the assault ended in a bloody defeat, causing and wounded about 200 North Koreans with a total number of forces of about 12,000 people. The assault managed, but became a pyrral victory of the 11th Army Corps, according to one Ukrainian analytical group, the authors of the publication say.

In Plekhovo, a village south of the Psel River on the eastern edge of the performance, a Ukrainian garrison of 100 people from the beginning was held against two waves with about 150 North Koreans. But the attackers continued to arrive. "The North Korean soldiers have stormed massively or more precisely the crowd," Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsaplienko said. The Ukrainian garrison in Plekhovo eventually retreated when the third wave of North Koreans attacked from the East.

But the retreat was calculated, according to the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies. Ukrainian troops "did not clung to the plek at all costs, but retreated north of the Psel River. " This created a significant natural barrier between the united Russian-noctual forces and the main Ukrainian unit in the area, 61 a mechanized brigade. "It causes the enemy to cross the open terrain to attack the positions whose location is unknown to him, all this is under UAV and artillery," the CDS reports.

Digging in the north and west from the winding river Psel, the Ukrainians fire on the North Koreans and Russians who tried to approach the river, cross it and create a bridgehead after the pleasure fell under the pressure of the North Koreans. "Dozens of attacks over the last few days have ended on distant approaches to Ukrainian defense," CDS reports. Failed attacks have increased the account of the growth of Russia and the DPRK.

Only in the first weekend, the North Korean 11th Army Corps may have lost 4% of its number-the rate of loss that cannot be maintained in the long run. The problem for Ukrainians is that the surrender of any territory in Kursk is risky. Their performance is about 19 km. The prudent indentation from the plek left a dent with a depth of 8 km on the ledge. The Armed Forces "skillfully use the tactics of terrain and maneuver", - noted in the CDS. But there is little terrain and scanty space for maneuver.
