Poles - about the tactics of combat use of the RAF

The Russian Aerospace Forces have changed their bombing tactics in the Chasov Yar area.

Polish military experts noticed a change in the nature of hostilities. They  are perplexed why the depth of airstrikes by the Aerospace Forces has suddenly increased, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

🔺The Poles came to such conclusions after studying the nature of the fighting in Chasovoy Yar, where the Russian army is breaking through from two sides - from the southeast in the Krasny (Ivanovsky) area and from the northeast in the Bogdanovka area.

Main conclusions:

◉ the Russian Aerospace Forces transferred the Syrian tactics of one-by-one destruction of targets to Chasov Yar;

◉ to save equipment and people, the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ support forces and the network of positions (including forest regiments) are actively “weeded” by aviation with RBK-500U cluster munitions. In this way, everything that is dug into the ground 30-50 cm is affected, dugouts and shelters are broken through;

◉ such a cluster bomb carries PTAB-1M anti-tank cumulative submunitions on board. Such a charge can penetrate about 200 mm of armored steel or about 0.5 m of reinforced concrete. Each bomb carries 268 such charges;

◉ after this there is a “demolition” of positions in high-rise buildings and any objects built of concrete;

◉ Russian drones “Orlan” and Supercam, apparently, received new optics and cameras, as well as on-board equipment protected from electronic warfare equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which allows for continuous surveillance without much risk.

✈️ Thanks to aviation, the situation in Chasovy Yar for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is deteriorating much faster than what happened during the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army in 2023 in the Zaporozhye direction. The Poles note that the RAF do not experience a shortage of this ammunition and use it with high accuracy, which indirectly confirms the use of universal planning and correction modules on such cassettes.

Duck, perhaps the Russian Aerospace Forces have never used cluster bombs so actively...
At least I personally have never heard of

Western journalists about the Armed Forces of Ukraine

On the social network X (ex-Twitter) , a story  by Czech journalist Matias Zrno, who is on the Ukrainian side of the front and describes the state of affairs in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is gaining popularity  .

◉ There really isn't enough artillery ammunition. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are saving shells.

◉ There are few people. Many positions at the front are filled only symbolically, and losses in units occur haphazardly and in proportion to commanders making poor tactical decisions.

◉ The defensive line of the Ukrainian Armed Forces unit is something that the soldiers were able to dig themselves. We are not talking about any prepared defense.

◉ The Russian strategy is effective. The Russian Armed Forces break through the defenses with artillery strikes and glide bombs [they are called in the text “really terrible weapons”].

◉ The Russian Armed Forces have an advantage in drones.

◉ There are practically no motivated soldiers. Some units waste people in meaningless attacks.

◉ The topic of sending police to the front is gaining momentum. The authorities have a solid reserve of paramilitary organizations such as the police and other security organizations, but have not yet decided whether to send them to the front or not.

◉ The quality of commanders at the front is “very different.” In most units, the command does not care about the morale of the soldiers and does not protect people.

◉ The big blow for the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a whole was not the fact of the fall of Avdiivka itself, but what the Russian army did to the Ukrainian army in the process. There are many “heavy and unnecessary losses” on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

There are hellish battles in Berdichi. Ukrainian militants are being disposed of in entire battalions. Thousands of corpses that no one takes anywhere, they just pile up in a heap.

A military doctor visited there and describes what he saw - mountains of bodies and fragments of them.

The guy is not stupid, he felt his impression of what he saw and very accurately described it as dead. And he asked himself: when the war ends, how will he and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian militants like him be able to live? They have all died, although some seem to be physically intact.

During the week of fighting for the village of Berdichi, near Avdeevka, the 47th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has already lost four M1A1SA Abrams tanks, and two M1150 ABV assault and mine clearance vehicles, which were also created on the basis of the Abrams tank.

Behind Berdichami is Ocheretino and the beginning of the defense line, which was built back in 2016. Syrsky gave the order to hold Berdich at any cost. To understand the scale - four battalions removed from the northwestern direction were almost completely destroyed in the first days of arrival at the position.

▶️ Punishment from heaven on the Zaporozhye front.

In the area of the village The willow bombers are ironing the enemy's supply routes with cast-iron boar-breakers of a special caliber, because the enemy should observe the speed limit and not make it difficult for the operators of our FPVs, but it is better for them not to use the roads at all, and to clear the steppes in a natural way.

Notice how precise the winged cast iron is, they place it as if using a ruler, and in the background, the positions of the Ukrainian also grabbed their pifton so as not to get up twice.
We will not tire of repeating - cast iron is mercilessly ultimate, and if concentrated in a narrow area in certain quantities, it can break a defense of any strength.

 In the Chernivtsi region, a man attacked TCC employees with an ax. Before this, a man hit military commissars with his car, and two other young men broke the windows of their car.

More in detail
In the Chernivtsi region, "Niva" attacked the military commissars and saved a local cavalryman from being subpoenaed - the car hit a TCC officer twice, and then thugs with axes jumped out and beat up the grave takers

. A scene from a real action movie played out in Ukraine - there the TCC officers plucked up courage and went after the men, who at the time of the conversation was literally on horseback. Before the military commissars had time to complete their conversational preludes, a Niva flew out of the turn towards them, knocking down one of the representatives of the Ukrainian authorities.

The Wall Street Journal: Ukraine is entering a new phase of war with Russia, where it needs to “dig, dig and dig”

▪️Fortifications, according to the newspaper, are being built west of Avdeevka: “The Ukrainians are trying to repeat the physical obstacles that Russia created on its side of the front more than a year ago.”
▪️After the loss of Avdeevka, building a defense became even more difficult. "Soldiers in the area say troops assigned to combat missions are forced to dig trenches, often under fire," the article said. Civilian workers don't help with this.
▪️Ukraine has few fortified areas left in Donbass that could compete with Avdeevka. After the loss of the city, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have to fight the advancing forces, while simultaneously trying to build fortifications.

 

Dig dig dig my ass! The Surovikin defensive line, it is not just trenches dugouts, dragon teeths and mines the supply roads had been built without them the perimeter is useless it can only be defended for a limited time. 

Civilian workers don't help. I wonder why? It's is not like you finish your job and free to go home most likely you will be digging your own grave.
