In the morning of February 6, Ukrainian armed formations launched a large-scale attack on positions of the Russian Armed Forces in the direction of Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Ulanok in Kursk Region of the Russian Federation.
According to media reports, the attack involved up to 60 pieces of military equipment supported by infantry. In the following clashes, pro-Kyiv units were able to reach the line of defense of Russian units and achieve a temporary tactical success. However, later, the first wave of AFU attacks was repelled. Ukrainian units suffered significant casualties in manpower and reportedly lost over two dozens pieces of military equipment.
Strikes on AFU forces in the border area:
Later, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on the situation that as of 14:00 local time the morning AFU attack in the direction was repelled:
“For this purpose, the AFU used up to two mechanised battalions on armoured vehicles. Assault groups of the enemy launched several waves of attacks in the designated direction.
The Sever Group of Forces’ units detected the enemy in time, and the Group’s units supported by aviation inflicted fire damage on the AFU assault groups.
As of 14:00, the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been repelled and the settlements are under the control of the Russian troops.
The AFU losses amounted to six tanks, three counterobstacle vehicles, three infantry fighting vehicles, and 14 armoured fighting vehicles. The neutralisation of the AFU units is in progress.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the operation to neutralise AFU formations on the territory of Kursk region.”
Media reports claim that UAF infantry failed to entrench themselves in the area of the attack after the initial success while UAF mechanized units were not able to develop the advance further. After the first attack resulted in no notable effect a part of Ukrainian units retreated, while another one was disorganized. Reports suggest that up to two hundreds Ukrainian personnel may have been still hiding in areas close to Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Ulanok and soon may try to reconnect with the main AFU forces or participate in a second wave of attacks.
The situation in the area remains tense. There are still chances of the resumption of large-scale clashes in the region. At the same time, the attack of AFU in the direction of Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Ulanok may have been an attempt to distract attention of the Russian Armed Forces from other parts of the frontline in Kursk Region, where Ukrainian units are experiencing major difficulties.
The Russian Defense Ministry statement also provided details regarding the AFU losses in recent clashes of Kursk Region:
“Operational-Tactical and Army aviation and artillery inflicted losses on manpower and hardware of the enemy near Basovka, Belovody, Veselovka, Zhuravka, Ivolzhanskoye, Iskriskovshchina, Mirlogi, Miropolye, Mogritsa, Sadki, Stetskovka, Yunakovka, and Yablonovka in Sumy region.
Over the past 24 hours, the AFU losses amounted to up to 205 troops, three tanks, one armoured personnel carrier, 15 armoured fighting vehicles, and 17 motor vehicles were neutralised.
Since the beginning of hostilities in Kursk direction, the AFU losses amounted to more than 57,860 troops, 337 tanks, 244 infantry fighting vehicles, 194 armoured personnel carriers, 1,759 armoured fighting vehicles, 1,844 motor vehicles, 409 artillery guns, 45 MLRS launchers, including 13 of HIMARS and six of MLRS made by the USA, 17 anti-aircraft missile launchers, eight transport-loading vehicles, 106 EW stations, 15 counter-battery warfare radars, five air defence radars, 33 units of engineering and other materiel, including 14 counterobstacle vehicles, one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle, nine armoured recovery vehicles, and one command post vehicle.”
lol. guess russia is making it’s own propaganda videos.
no need to when they tell the truth — fibre optic guided drones designed by russia destroyed many military vehicles -6 tanks-3 military fighting vehicles -3 assault breachers-multible military vehicles the drones are immune to america/uk radar blockers .ukraine were unable to make any progress and 100,s of troops hid in a forest.
but the news said 909 russia soldiers were captured by ukraine soldiers
who,s news john american/uk/google /cia/gchq/voa/radio free europe /all lie their head off .
news, care to be specific?
do you remember korenove nazis from ukraine, you died for months maintaining a forest hahaha
instead of worrying about bases in syria russia needs to build more bases in russia.
exactly, they are seriously surprised at every turn and overwhelmed by the attacks and then have to work months to resolve their dire situation. the oil fields, refineries, and tech industry is getting attacked daily. soon there will be no fuel or tech industry left in russia.
keep believing that and keep doing what you guys are doing. and then just find out in the end it was all bandera insanity. otherwise ask the 1 mln afu kia 🤫🙈🥶
no need for more bases, the enemy can enter as always before and then dig their own grave🤡
they will build huge one in your rectum.
question: why and how is this still allowed to go on by russian forces?
it seems that these idiot ukrainians have no brains at all, they haven’t seen until now that they have no chance of success and they keep trying. with almost 60,000 dead soldiers and a lot of destroyed weapons, they are still trying to attack in the kursk region? why don’t the soldiers sent to certain death revolt?
as always the bosses in the govt and military are cowards always far from the danger and well protected living in luxury whilst ordering normal people to go to their deaths. these bosses are the privileged entitle ones who get full luxury trip to attend remembrance day services and have monument erected for themselves.
how is this even possible on russian territory. why are russia letting ukr assemble and mount huge attacks on kursk territory. is russia sleeping or do not care to monitor and eradicate the problem before the ukrainians attack them again. once again it seems the ukrainians are the stronger army that they are after 6 months still launching serious attacks against russian forces on home territory.
it really is hard to work out russian tactics, these attacks have to be organized troops and armour assembled didn’t russia notice anything? the only other reason i can see is russia is allowing the ukrainians to attack to degrade them, in the meantime civilians have been murdered by the nazi filth.
notice all the vehicles are empty, the ukranians have disembarked are aremed and wandering around russia to attack and launch drone attacks. so it is all a bit late and now for russia who have to defend and gain territory back again.
🇷🇺=🏃♂️🤡 😆😆😆
russia is running out of equipment. wonder what happened to the oreshnik clown show presented as a one off to entertain the world. russia still hoping trump gonna save them.
do you really think what trump does concerned the russians?
hahaha the entire world can’t stop laughing at those worthless ruzzian nazis 😆😆😆
by entire world you mean in your hollow head of yours. 😂😂😂
funny. i give a plus vote and it records a minus vote while giving a minus records a plus. i guess we’re not supposed to vote up anyone pointing out the shit show russia is running. it going to be a year and the ukrainians will still hold kursk.
holding on by a thread.
i don’t mean to be negative but russia will never crush the ukros in kursk if these type of large scale attacks are allowed to happen.
