Ukrainian HMMWV destroyed in the Kharkov region
On October 11, the Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed another massive strike with high-precision long-range air and sea-based weapons at the facilities of the military administration and the energy system of Ukraine. According to the Russian military, the goal of the attack has been achieved and all targets were hit.
Meanwhile, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued their attempts to break through Russian defences on all front lines, despite heavy losses.
In the north-eastern direction, at least two companies of the AFU attacked Russian military positions near the villages of Krakhmalnoye in the Kharkiv region and Stelmakhovka in the Luhansk People’s Republic. The Ukrainian operation failed and they were forced to retreat to their positions. According to the Russian Defence Ministry, the AFU lost up o 40 Ukrainian servicemen and four armored fighting vehicles.
To the south, forces of up to two company tactical groups of the AFU attempted to cross the Zherebets River and advance towards the villages of Raygorodki and Novovodyanoye of the Luhansk People’s Republic. The Russian military was ready for the offensive. Two Ukrainian pontoon crossings were destroyed. The AFU lost up to 20 Ukrainian servicemen and four vehicles. After the Ukrainian grouping was hit, the company of the 66th Mechanized Brigade of the AFU was sent to help the comrades. However, they fell into a minefield, where part of the military equipment was blown up. At the same time, Ukrainian forces were shelled by Russian artillery. More than 80 Ukrainian servicemen, eight armored combat vehicles and four pickup trucks were reportedly destroyed.
Russian Mi-28n helicopters launched missiles at fortified positions of the AFU:
The similar unsuccessful offensive operations were reported on the south-eastern Ukrainian front lines. Up to three company tactical groups of the AFU attempted to attack Russian military positions near the villages of Nikolskoye, Novomayorskoye and Stepnoye in the Donetsk People’s Republic. All attacks are repelled. More than 30 Ukrainian servicemen, one tank and three armored fighting vehicles were destroyed.
On the southern front lines, the AFU continued their attempts to attack with up to two battalion tactical groups. Offensive operations were reported near the villages of Borozenskoye, Pyatikhatki, Bruskinskoye, Ishchenko in the Kherson region, and Petrovsky in the Mykolaiv region. Russian forces pushed the enemy back to the positions. As a result of the failed operations, the AFU suffered heavy losses. According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, about 150 Ukrainian servicemen, six tanks, eight armored fighting vehicles and six cars were destroyed.
The steppes in the southern regions are the most dangerous area for any offensive operations as the advancing troops are easily targeted by enemy artillery and aviation.
Ukrainian military column destroyed near Lybimovka in the Kherson region:
Among the other gains claimed by the Russian military, there are the control point of the 66th Mechanized Brigade of the AFU which was destroyed near Novoye in the DPR; two fuel storage bases for Ukrainian military equipment which were destroyed near Dnepropetrovsk and Pavlograd in the Dnipropetrovsk region; an ammunition depot with rockets for the American HIMARS MLRS destroyed near Predtechino in the DPR etc. A helicopter Mi-24 of the Ukrainian Air Force was shot down near the settlement of Maryanskoye in the Dnipropetrovsk region, and seven UAVs, including one Switchblade-600, were shot down in various areas in the DPR and the Kherson region.
The Ukrainian military command is using the Ukrainian servicemen is a cannon fodder. The ongoing offensive operations by small groups are likely reconnaissance missions before the launch of large-scaled offensives in different regions. The AFU continue amassing forces and military equipment on the front lines in the Kharkov, Zaporozhie anf Kherson regions. The Ukrainian military enjoys the advantage of a significantly superior number of personnel. Thus, the daily deaths of a hundred of servicemen in senseless attacks is not a big price to pay by the Ukrainian military command.
What’s up with video downloads on this site? whey are they so flipping slow?
itz bcuz you didnt gibs me dat Cash’Monae
As I understand it, southfront’s original hosting provider fucked them over. So when sf moved to a new host, they lost their usual cloudflare anti-DDOS protection. That’s when the site got noticeably slower from all the distributed attacks by the “save ukraine” brainwashed sheep.
If Russia had been more purposeful in it’s goals in regards to the Ukrainian conflict, the delay and the uncertainty brewing now would have been avoided. It should have been a massive onslaught from the word go, take out the threat with pinpoint accuracy, but as it is now, it going to be a grinding affair.
Ukrainians are useless, they had 30 years to build a country after independence. Instead they obsessed with hating their neighbors and Nazism. Everything they had going the Soviets built. They destroyed it all and became whores of the West, and look how that ended up. The only good thing Ukrainians are useful for is providing meat and cannon fodder for NATO now. A faile state and very sad situation. No wonder why pro-Russian populations want nothing to do with this failed state and instead prefer to be part of Russia
Pretty sure they were doing fine up until 2014. Then someone decided they didn’t like Ukraine anymore and wanted it for themselves. Also Ukraine was the one to ask NATO for the equipment, it’s not like NATO asked them to have the war they’re fighting. Another thing, the whole “Nazi Ukraine” thing is laughable to the rest of the world that has access to knowledge from all sources and not just state/government regulated sources.
Everyday Ru reported huge AFU casualties and destroyed fighter jets, choppers, tanks, armoured and HIMARS.
At this rate, there should be no more AFU (& USNato) left by now. So who is Ru fighting with?
Are you high or something? There was nothing there.
What does it say on that armour plate? The SS lightning bolt is on there too. Fuckin Nazis
