Underground battles in catacombs and cabinets: how the Armed Forces keep defense in Bigorivka

On February 29, in the telegram-channel "Officer" of the Lieutenant of the Armed Forces with the call sign "Alex" wrote the words of soldiers from the 81st separate airmobile brigade and the 54th separate mechanized brigade about the situation in Bigorivka. "Bigorivka -" not media "direction: battles in catacombs, 7 km on foot in positions, dozens of burned p ** Orsk columns and completely destroyed industry.

For more than a year there are hellish battles, more There are battles in a broken industry, more precisely under its foundation, in catacombs, because there is nothing left. The boys keep the defense in some positions at 360 degrees, a very difficult terrain and a situation for hostilities, "the post reads.

In the morning report of the General Staff of March 1, it is stated that the Ukrainian military reflected 12 attacks of occupiers in the areas of Ternov and Yampolivka of Donetsk region and Bigorivka of Luhansk region. Later, the Ukrainian military published the photos under what conditions the fighting took place. It is noted that the industrial zone is broken into the village. Ukrainian defenders hold positions, including underground.

In the photo with the road, the military showed equipment that was destroyed because the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation shot it with anti -tank means. In the post of "officer" continues the post by the fact that the occupiers are used by cabins. The enemy tries to punch the openings with airbags to provide passage through the pipes, as it was in Avdiivka. In some places, the defenders came under the rubble. In some positions, the fights are 360 ​​degrees.

The Ukrainian military destroy enemy equipment and live power. Bigorivka itself is in the lowland, so the enemy controls the logistical path of combination with fire with anti -tank weapons. "Bigorivka comes out in the pit, there is 2-3 ctur, which are aimed purely on the road, can run, come down and wait for you to climb. The swamp also does their business, so usually 2 people wear BC for 7 km, in positions also in its own way.

If the car comes all the guns that are, they start working at 360 so that there is no discharge, so the Reb is in demand, " - wrote the military words of the brothers. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian military liberated Bigorivka in the fall of 2022. The settlement is located several tens of kilometers from Severodonetsk and Lisichansk. The village is one of the few in the Luhansk region, which is controlled by Ukraine.

Despite the fact that the Russian army has almost not advanced in Bigorivka, the fighting is difficult there. For example, it was only on February 17 that the enemy column of equipment consisted of 4 BMPs, 3 tanks, 1 MT-LB and 1 APC went on the offensive. The defenders then repulsed the enemy offensive. Due to the peculiarity of the relief of the village, the loss of one position at height means a departure from the lowlands, because all Belogovka stands at the height difference.
