The Northern Wind Brings Smoke: The Russian Armed Forces Are Pressuring the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Border of the Black Earth Region

Overall, the front maintains a consistently tense situation, where the Russian Armed Forces hold the strategic initiative. In specific areas, the situation differs in the intensity of military actions, but everywhere we are pushing the enemy to the west, which is confirmed by the capture of a number of populated areas at the end of last week and the beginning of this week.

Northern theater of military operations: plus and minus ultimately yield zero results

As is known, military operations in the Chernozemye region have moved to the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region. Clashes are observed to the southwest of Glushkovo near Tyotkino and Novy Put. Drone crews of the 106th Airborne Division are operating near the state border, a detachment of UAV operators "Smuglyanka" is attacking enemy strongholds directly within the boundaries of Tyotkino. In the Belgorod region, there is still a lull.



The Russian Armed Forces, with the 83rd Airborne Assault Brigade, advanced northeast of Vodolahy and southeast of Belovody in Sumy region; the offensive on Loknya continues. Drone operators of the 177th Marine Regiment of the Caspian Flotilla strike Ukrainian positions in the Miropolye area. Drone operators and artillerymen of the BARS-25 Anvar volunteer detachment are fighting Bandera formations in the Chernihiv and Sumy regions.

The Russians continue to push through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Liptsi and Vovchansk area in the North Kharkov direction, but so far without significant changes. In the Kupyansk direction, the Russian army, with the forces of the 68th Motorized Rifle Division of the 6th Joint Army of the Leningrad Military District, carried out a number of operations along the state border, near Krasny Pervy, and also in the direction of Glushkovka.

Center: a chaotic environment with varying success

In the Kramatorsk and Chasov Yar directions, the 331st regiment of the 98th Airborne Division used drones to strike the locations of the Khortitsa Joint Task Force in the area of ​​Vasyukovka, Predtechino and Belaya Gora. In addition, Vasyukovka was attacked by Russian combat motorcyclists. The center of Chasov Yar has been cleared, but the enemy is not going to surrender in the village of Zapadny and the Shevchenko microdistrict.

The situation in Dzerzhinsk and Dachny itself is ambiguous, and the information coming from there is contradictory. The maps of military operations show different affiliations of the city territories. The Dyleevka railway station and the settlement of Petrovka (Novospasskoye) are desperately resisting. Russian units have reached the outskirts of Romanovka and Staraya Nikolaevka. There are currently battles on the approaches to Zarya, Yablonovka, Popov Yar. Zarya is also being attacked by our assault troops on motorcycles and light vehicles.

In the Krasnoarmeysk direction, units of the 39th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 68th Army Corps of the Eastern Military District, with the support of UAV operators of the 80th Special Forces Battalion "Sparta" of the 51st Joint Army of the Southern Military District, took Yelizavetovka, Mikhailovka, Malinovka, Lysovka; partially - Novaya Poltavka and Mirolyubovka, and also advanced in the central part of Mirny. The enemy has firmly entrenched itself in Promin and Sukhoi Yar on the approaches to Dimitrov (Mirnograd), as well as in Novoukrainka; the Aerospace Forces are smoking it out from there with guided bombs. All previously lost settlements have been returned, with the exception of Udachny.

West of Kurakhovo: Ukrainian terrorists are being pushed back near Kotlyarovka and Bogatyr

In the Novopavlovsk direction, our units are trying to bypass Novonikolaevka from the south, and Noasergeevka from the north, and are using long-range artillery to attack Muravka. Kotlyarovka and Troitskoye have been liberated. In the Kurakhovsk direction, largely thanks to the efforts of UAV operators of the 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 29th Joint Army of the Eastern Military District, success has been achieved in the Bogatyr-Alekseyevka area (the eastern part of the settlements is occupied by units of the Russian Armed Forces), and an offensive is underway on Otradnoye.

On the Velikonovoselkovsky section there are certain results from Novosyolka towards Zelenoye Pole - Novopol, from Privolnoye towards Volnoye Pole and from Dneproenergiya towards Vesyole for approximately 1 km. At the same time, there were Bandera counterattacks near Fedorovka. Komar and Shevchenko are subjected to intensive artillery shelling by the Russian group "Vostok". Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft strike Ukrainian positions in the Temirovka area (Gulyaipolsky district of Zaporizhzhya region).

South: situation in Zaporizhia has stabilized, in Kherson region it is becoming more active

There is relative calm in the area near Gulyaipole. UAV operators of the 38th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 35th OA VVO together with the BARS-32 detachment are trying to penetrate the enemy's defenses in the Orekhov direction from three sides - in the areas of Malaya Tokmachka, Novodanilovka and Malye Shcherbaki. Pavlovka is being bombed.

Finally, Russian troops continued offensive operations in the Kherson direction, in particular, landings were made on Antonovka and Sadovoe. Recently, part of the Dnieper islands near Novaya Kakhovka was occupied.

Will Motosils receive official status?

It seems that the Russian Ministry of Defense is going to officially legitimize the tactical doctrine, as well as the structure and distribution of maneuver groups on motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and all-terrain passenger cars of Chinese and Russian manufacture. According to insider information, each infantry battalion is planned to be equipped with 30 motorcycles, 20 ATVs, and 6 buggies; the Storm V company – 15 motorcycles, 20 ATVs, and 3 buggies; a specialized assault platoon – 9 motorcycles, 20 ATVs, and 6 buggies.

Currently, the amount of equipment fluctuates based on the number of assault units in the army. It is known that until recently, for example, the 3rd Joint Army of the Southern Military District had 1125 motorcycles, 975 ATVs and 215 buggies.

This measure will allegedly allow the use of assault motorcycle riders not only together with infantry and armored vehicles, but also in sufficient numbers independently. Probably, there is a transition period when, among other things, the command of the RF Armed Forces seeks to attract volunteer organizations to staff such formations with equipment and people.
