Battle For Ugledar: Russian Forces Lost Initiative On Battlefield (Videos 18+)

Click to see full-size image

The town of Ugledar became one of the bloodiest battlefields on the Donbass front lines. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have focused their main forces on the western and eastern outskirts of the city in an attempt to prevent their encirclement.

To the south of Ugledar, the Russian military is holding its stronghold in the town of Pavlovka, while heavily shelling the Ukrainian stronghold and encircling the city. Russian forces are already holding control of the area of the so-called “dachas” located east of the road. In their turn, Ukrainian forces attempt to counter attack on the northern outskirts of the “dachas” district which was almost completely destroyed by the shelling.

The city of Ugledar remains under Ukrainian control.

Destruction of Ukrainian military positions:

 

 

So far, the Russian offensive, which began at the end of January, has been stopped. The Ukrainian military managed to take advantage of their defense in a city located in the Ukrainian steppe and the miscalculations of the Russian military command.

On January 23-24, the fighters of the 155 brigade of the Russian Pacific Fleet and the 7 operational-combat tactical unit broke through the defense of the AFU and occupied the outskirts of the city located west of Nikolskoe.

Taking the Ukrainian military by surprise, Russian forces continued their advance and managed to gain a foothold on the south-eastern outskirts of Ugledar. After that, the Russian units continued to expand their zone of control on the eastern outskirts of the city, including in the so-called dachas region. At the same time, Russian forces began storming the western outskirts of Ugledar, advancing from their main stronghold in Pavlovka.

Ukrainian tank firing from its position near the residential building in Ugledar:

 

 

All the attempts of the AFU to counterattack failed. However, in their turn, Russian forces failed to cut the supply roads to the city during the first days of the major offensive.

The Ukrainian military command has hastily begun to strengthen the defensive grouping in the city, artillery firing positions were moved to a safe distance, and mortar crews were constantly mining the outskirts. The transfer of military supplies to the Ukrainian grouping along the Ugledar— Konstantinovka—Maryinka road continued.

The Ukrainian military command was forced to send important reinforcement to Ugledar from other front lines. By the end of January, the Russian military lost the initiative on the battlefield. Positional battles broke out on the outskirts of the city.

In order to hit the Ukrainian positions from the flanks, additional motorized infantry units were deployed in the region by the Russian military command.

Since the outskirts of the city were heavily mined, the Russian column could only move along the narrow passage which was observed by Ukrainian forces from the heights in Ugledar. As a result, in early February, one of the Russian columns was stopped by Ukrainian fire. Videos of the incident filmed by the Ukrainian drones were widely shared online.

 

 

According to the loud claims of the Ukrainian media, the column of the famous 155 brigade of the Russian Pacific Fleet was completely destroyed, dozens of Russian tanks and servicemen were allegedly destroyed.

However, it turned out that one of the combined arms brigades of the Russian Army was damaged. The footage confirmed that only a few Russian tanks were destroyed, several others were damaged. Most of the Russian military personnel were evacuated.

Fail to get air control and suppress enemy drones , fail to clear mines , fail to suppress enemy fire all leads to unwanted casualty. It’s war … just deal with it and pray for the fallen.

A squadron of aircraft and some ‘fuel-air munitions would have made a big difference I would have thought.

That might be right. The Ukras takes away any kind of reinforcement and supply away.

By that the Russians might take but cant keep against determinated counterattacs even theyare a kind of light.

Russians dont have it.

BillieGatesGruff

You said it. Total numerical superiority and fighting like a kid at the arcade. Basic basic stuff.

jens holm

Russians are not better then that. They have no good troops for everything and een their good ones are met with good ones or almost as good ones.

Tzar Tellus

You pretty much said it all but forgot to mention anti javelins. This is WW2 tactics not utilising modern warfare with high tech. Ukrainians follow Russian steps 24// with drones and night vision during night. While Russia enters blindly…this is just insane.

jens holm

Thats no fail. The Russoians just dont have those ressources. Thats what they use the meatgrinders.

According to what see and listen to by several Youtubes, the Russians troops are third class. Those Youtubes of course is biased some but the best kind of documantation we have for the moment.

Vpadli na zamínované pole, to sa stáva. S takým niečim sa musí počítať. Otázkou je ako sa stým dokázali vysporiadať. Ako bolo vidieť tak straty na tomto úseku neboli až tak veľké. Poučenie? Poslať dopredu odminovacie vozidlo. To by snáď pomohlo.

I do not know where is Brusilov or who could he be but I do know precisely who plays the role of Kerensky. Hint: VP.

You should look up. In the start of WW1 the Austrian-Hungarians should attack Russia.

He trapped them by a decoy defence, where they had to put in extra troops. After that he as planned counterattaked very hard.

He made one of the best attacks by the Russians during WW1 and others too. Ir was before the Bolsjvics took over. He might be censured away, where You live. He was very big.

Sources claim about500 Russian tanks have been destroyed so far. That may well be true. No wonder they’re afraid of NATO tanks coming to the fray.Russiais incapable of making serious gains.

Mr. Guldar Tate

Where’s Russia’s surveillance drones at? As long as Russia has taken to mount another offensive, they didn’t think the Ukrainians would lay mines? Where’s the probes? Where’s the mine clearance? Where’s all the Russian artillery? As soon as the Ukrainians fire a shot they should be getting blown up from drones, cruise missiles, aircraft and artillery. More importantly, where are the hundreds of thousands of reserves called up?

You tell where the Russian reservists are yourself. Theyare just wherethe mines are having no idea about advanced warfare and even simple one.

They can shoot even with canons.

By that the better educated Ukras are doing well enough.

Russians are trying to make more new soldiers: It takes time. You cant take all in one as well.

And one more thing. Just as the ukras they have lack of officers for figthing as well as training. Making good new officers takes years.

jens holm

Facts are the Russians did not advance even they tryed hard. Ver impressing the Russians only lost whats visible on those few video clips.

I believe “damage” dont cover what happend there. Russian vitals and many soldiers in that too has lost their lives.

Ukras of course has lost many as well.

The total lost there was 20-25 armors (tanks+APC’s) and around 60-70KIA and 150 WIA. High enough to see a very idiotic assault plan. Good that yesterday Shoigu dismiss 3 out of 4 command generals. Even I could develop a way better plan to take Ugledar…….

Russia should replace officer in charge in UGLEDAR front. The General staff for UGLEDAR front is incompetent to be in charge

It’s only a matter of time , Ukraine forces are being annihilated. At anywhere from 7 to 1 to 10 to 1 , their losses are NOT sustainable.

In Western military the incompetent commanders would be replaced with competent ones, but in Russian military there are no competent commanders so kicking out incompetent ones is kind of pointless .. they are all Putins cadres

Remember that this is war. The Ukrops also have weapons. Seeing these Russian heroes die makes me sad, but I am pretty sure the Ukrops die in bigger numbers, so that is my comfort.. Don’t think that Russian heroes are not going to die, but when one dies thousands rise up to kill all those NATO trained Nazis. Little by little Ukraine is ceasing to exist.. The terrorist yankee regime might laugh to see these heroes die, but at the end Russia is already victoriously won this war. My condolences to these heroes families, but unlike the cannon fodder Nazis, the Russian heroes are not dying in vain..

Exactly. In any circumstances, Ukraine bandera reich loose a lot of its territory despite of the hundreds of thousands of sacrificed soldiers…….when the russians gain territories which justify the casualties. It’s so simple, dying for the atlantic imperialist shithole without gaining nothing !

MoA (February 16, 2023) explains…

” The attack on Ugledar was a diversion operation. Ugledar was originally defended by two territorial brigades. The Ukrainian command pulled two artillery brigades, one motorized infantry brigade and parts of one tank brigade from other front lines to hold onto Ugledar. The Russian attack thus did what it was supposed to do. It allowed for Russian breakthroughs at the northeastern Kharkiv front and in Bakhmut because Ukraine had moved forces away from those fronts. The fighting around Ugledar has cost Russia some, but not big losses. “
