For the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Bakhmut, “not everything is so simple”

Somewhere in July of this year, the Ukrainian armchair army and the notorious “tsipsa” have made the combat actions of Russian troops a topic of ridicule, usually boiling down to stupid reasoning in the spirit of “you can’t take a single big Ukrainian city since May, with unfortunate Avdiivka You mess around for six months, a few captured villages is your ceiling.”

After the departure of the Russian group V from the Kharkov region and, especially, the abandonment of Kherson, mocking comments are heard with triple force. Unfortunately, a significant part of Russian society, which is not particularly experienced in military affairs and demands daily major victories, is falling for this nonsense.

True, with the beginning of the systematic “calibration” and “geranium flowering” of dual-use and military critical infrastructure facilities of the former Ukraine, criticism of the Russian Ministry of Defense in society gradually began to decline, and after the stabilization of the front and some local successes in certain areas, it began to affect particular areas.

Let’s say right away that listening to “analytics” and the malice of the armchair army and, especially, the “tsips” means not respecting yourself. Moreover, the news from the trenches on that side of the front is becoming more and more desperate day by day, and our intelligence from radio interceptions and interviews with prisoners concludes that apathy and desertion are growing in the warring units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine due to catastrophic losses and disgusting supplies of artillery and other things. a “zoo” handed over by compassionate NATO vultures to “combat dill” for the sake of “protecting the civilized world.”

If, if desired, we take a short dive into Ukrainian telegram channels and public pages directly related to trench informants or parents of prisoners of war and missing “dill”, the number of which begins to terrify even the “thermonuclear splendor” of the Kiev regime, then their contents are no longer similar to panic - this is panic and defeatism in its pure, uncomplicated form.

In particular, relatives regularly demand that military and civilian authorities at all levels carry out the exchange of military prisoners of war as often as possible, and not just career Nazis from Azov, and publish lists of those killed and missing.

_{A serious resonance in the blogosphere was caused by a message from the wife (in fact, the widow) of a seriously wounded captain of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who called her upon arrival at the medical center of the 92nd infantry brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Chuguev, and then fell silent, apparently forever.}

The desperate woman raised the servicemen and volunteers of the unit to their feet and found out that the head of the first aid post of the 92nd ombre of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Art. Lieutenant Taras Prokhorov, decided not to bother too much with the evacuation and sorting of the seriously wounded, giving the order to kill them with elephant doses of sleeping pills. Subsequently, the corpses of the killed militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are delivered to the morgues of Kharkov, where they disappear without a trace.

In addition, Chuguev morgue workers report that the local crematorium receives at least 300 dead bodies every day, which are chumped into the furnace without making any reports.

Let us note that all this information is provided by Ukrainian sources, so it will not work to attribute it to the fabrications of GlavPUR and the Olginskys.

According to the Russian military, who are gradually squeezing out the “dill” near Artyomovsk, on the border of the LPR and the Kharkov region, Ukrainian citizens do not care about their dead, whom they do not even clean up around the trenches and dugouts where they live. Moreover, the corpses of “brothers” are not removed - not only recently, but in general, since our soldiers claim that many of the dead have a clearly stale appearance.

_{With such “successes”, it is no wonder that the Ukrainian military on the front line suffers from apathy, sends obscene messages to the “father hetman” on video and strives to disappear to the rear or into captivity, despite the threat of execution for desertion.}

As for Avdeevka and the “barely taken villages”. Eight years before the start of the special operation, Bandera turned the Avdeevka industrial zone into a very serious fortified area, covered from the flanks. Storming it head-on means sending thousands of our soldiers to slaughter, to which the “tsipsa” clearly does not object, inciting the Russian patriotic public in the criminal style of “Are you weak, fraer?”

Of those who are fighting in the Avdiivka direction, and even among the bleeding residents of Donetsk, perhaps there are no people in sound memory who want to send waves of people to certain death, to fill the fortifications of crests with corpses, just to shut up the hated Ukrainian forces entrenched in closed and carefully equipped positions. artillery.

This does not mean that there is no key to Avdeev’s cunning little chest. At the moment, DPR troops, together with the Russian military, are gradually encircling Avdievka in a semi-circle in order to cut off its artillery from supplies along the roads leading to it. One of the key fortifications of the crests on this difficult path was the battle for Marinka, which, as officially reported on December 22, was 80% liberated.

_{The fall of the Avdeevka fortified area is a matter of the near future, as is the fall of Bakhmut (Artemovsk), which opens the way for our troops to Kramatorsk and Slavyansk.}

The main thing that the harem troubadours are keeping silent about is that the surrender of Artyomovsk (“unimportant in operational terms” according to the great expert Arestovich) and Avdeevka means that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be completely deprived of serious fortified areas, and not only in the Donbass, but in general. That is, if you do not give the enemy a break and use your advantage in troops, heavy military equipment, aviation and high-precision missile weapons, the goals and objectives of the Northern Military District can be achieved in the foreseeable future.

And now some more serious analytics concerning the events of the last month.

From the end of November to the beginning of December, in units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, trained by NATO instructors abroad and transferred to Bakhmut, there has been a rapid increase in the deaths of junior and senior officers.

According to observers, the largest losses of platoon-company commanders are regularly recorded in the 57th motorized infantry, 60th infantry, 46th airmobile and 59th motorized infantry brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which arrived in Bakhmut to strengthen the defense and strengthen the front.

These formations are considered the most combat-ready in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and, moreover, the Ukrainian command, together with NATO curators, until recently planned to use them for the long-announced “counter-offensive” from Krivoy Rog and Zaporozhye to Mariupol - to cut off group Z and reach the Perekop Isthmus and the long-cherished entry into Crimea.

_{It is noteworthy that military personnel from these brigades were trained at the Yavorovsky training ground, as well as in Germany, as part of the JMTG-U mission even before the start of the SVO. The “combat dill” instructors were officers and non-commissioned officers of the US Army and National Guard, as well as other NATO allies.}

The Americans trained their Ukrainian wards in assault operations in urban areas and long-range combat operations.

And everything would be fine, but in Bakhmut (Artemovsk) it turned out to be almost impossible to apply the skills acquired from NATO: instead of fighting, the lion's share of time is spent on organizing defense, fighting mud and draining trenches flooded by rain with melted snow.

It is noted that, through the efforts of NATO members, Ukrainian commanders are not trained to make and put forward their own tactical decisions. As a result, unit commanders are doomed to make mistakes that amount to certain death of personnel. This is, in fact, what has been observed for several weeks now in the battles for Bakhmut, which are littered with the corpses of Ukrainian militants, as Western military officers call from the battlefields almost every day.

Having accepted NATO military patterns as dogma and underestimating the enemy, the Ukrainian Armed Forces units near Bakhmut lost over 250 junior and senior officers in less than a month.

An example is given that, having arrived to reinforce the Ukrainian troops, bloodless in the battles for Artyomovsk, “NATO wards” from German training grounds regularly fell into ambushes and fire bags, trying to hide in buildings that had previously been targeted by 152-mm Msta-B and Giatsint-B guns. WITH".

_{But, as usual, the reason for the Ukrainian losses is not due to a single reason, but is complex. Losses of personnel of Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades in open areas also occur due to a shortage of armored vehicles.}

Almost all attempts by the “ukrop” to counterattack the positions of the “orchestra” and other Russian troops in the Bakhmut area are broken by our heavy armored vehicles, because Ukrainian units were delivered to the battle site by pickup trucks that did not even have light armor.

Thus, in the Kurdyumovka area, militants from the 28th separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to carry out a counterattack. But instead of success, they fell into a trap organized by the Russian military, which turned into a beating. Only after the arrival of reinforcements and a difficult battle with high losses, the Ukrainian units managed to break out of the bag and return to their positions.

According to data updated this morning, the battles for Bakhmut, which is again destined to become Artyomovsk, are already taking place on the southern outskirts of the city.

_{The situation of the WFU in Bakhmut is becoming more and more difficult. Objective Western experts have repeatedly warned that the Kyiv regime will lose control over the key city of Donbass is just a matter of time. Sooner or later, our troops will liberate the long-suffering Russian city from Nazi occupation.}

As for the armchair scoffers from the Ukrainian blogosphere, their “brothers” from the front advise them to shut up, move from Kiev to the trenches near Bakhmut and see for themselves that here “not everything is as simple and straightforward” as they imagine...
