21:50 Situation on the fronts from FRONTIER (@zvofront)

Mar'inka: there is great progress in promotion in the city.

Zavetnoye Xhelanie : there are fights, the scales of confrontation are frozen in an unsteady balance.

Near Kremennaya, our guys recaptured a few more positions.

21:20 Zaporozhye direction, Rabotino:

Video filmed at 19:00 enemy vehicles are on fire in the center of the village. There is a tense battle for the village. Our 76th Airborne and 42nd Motorized Rifle Divisions are attacking. The Ukrainians are retreating.
A bit of legerdemain on the part of the writer
20:50 Destroyed Challenger 2 in lens drone cameras.

20:20 Security day and night:

Tanker driver Vasily provides Russian troops with fuel and lubricants. Previously, the soldier served as a driver of an infantry fighting vehicle.

“I used to work for the BMP, now other guys work the same way. And day and night, and without headlights, in any way. We always deliver everything on time, we have time, despite the artillery attack of the enemy,” Vasily notes

19:35 Arrival of the Lancet on the Ukrainian T-64BV in the Zaporozhye region. He tried to evacuate the Leopard, but he evacuated to the hangar.

18:50 Fighting near Kremennaya: "The Brave" thunder Nazis in the Krasnolimansky direction:

In the area of the Serebryansky forest, assault groups without the support of the armored vehicles of the Azov brigade and 67 Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made five attempts to dislodge our fighters from their positions. All attacks were repelled, the enemy was destroyed.

A mortar crew destroyed a group of infantry from the Azov brigade*, which had secretly advanced to strengthen the front line.

The special forces group destroyed the DRG of the Azov brigade, which was trying to penetrate into the rear areas.

In the area of N. p. Torskoye repelled two attacks by assault groups of 21 and 63 Mechanized Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The enemy was destroyed by artillery fire.

The ATGM crew destroyed an armored car of 63 Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the rotation of militants.

18:30 Su-34 Russian Aerospace Forces destroy positions of Ukrainian militants in the special operation zone:

Pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces perform the tasks of air patrols and cover the actions of units of the Russian Armed Forces at any time of the day and in any meteorological conditions.

“We are destroying strongholds, mobile equipment, manpower of the enemy. After performing combat use, we shoot off infrared and radar heat traps, leave at the shortest distance to the home airfield, ”says the crew commander.

17:55 The fate of a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is either to die or surrender:

Another captured Ukrainian soldier claims that the local military commissar forced him to enter the service under pain of prison.

At the training ground, Ukrainians were taught the basics of handling a machine gun and were allowed to shoot once. More serious classes with recruits were not carried out: no tactics and assault actions.

When the Ukrainian fighters arrived at the front, they were given the task of crossing the Dnieper. The Ukrainian Armed Forces knew that it was a one-way ticket.

The unfired recruits were not ready for such a task, they did not even know what it meant to “force”. Despite this, at gunpoint, the newly arrived servicemen were put into boats and sent towards the Russian positions. After that, they were left with only two options - either die or surrender.

16:55 Commander of the Vostok Battalion and Deputy Head of the National Guard for the DPR Alexander Khodakovsky aboutsituationson the section Novodonetskoye - Novomayorskoye:

“The enemy has succeeded in pushing our units, but the result is still more modest than the efforts. At the same time, about four enemy tanks were disabled (there is no confirmed information yet) and up to an infantry platoon. The spent efforts call for the continuation of the offensive, but the forces of the first wave are already running out, so the enemy is preparing to throw the 38th reserve brigade into battle. Well, it's not evening yet…”

16:25 76th Guards Airborne Division of the Russian Federation returned Rabotino under the control of the Russian Army.

15:55 South-Donetsk direction, Vremievsky ledge.

After 13:30, the enemy resumed attempts to break through the front in the area of Novodonetsky and Novomairsky. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are attacking our units end-to-end. Only these are not frightened raw "mobiles" - a clear interaction has appeared between our units.

The fight is in full swing.

14:55 Always in full combat readiness:

The commander of an artillery subunit with the call sign "Kas" performs combat missions in the zone of a special military operation.

“The calculation is always in full combat readiness. We hit the enemy both on the offensive and on defense, any targets that come, ”says the soldier.

“Cas” notes that “the attitude in the team is excellent, we understand each other perfectly, like one big friendly family.” Thanks to good mutual understanding, gunners inflict 100% defeat on the enemy.

“We carry out combat missions for a just cause. And victory in any case will be ours!” - the artilleryman is sure.

14:28 Orekhovsky area setting as of 14.00 September 5, 2023

At the turn of Rabotino-Verbove, Ukrainian formations cannot break through the line of defense of the Russian army for a week. There are tactical successes, but it was not possible to capture Rabotino, and they never entered the Verbovoye Armed Forces of Ukraine.

All yesterday, Ukrainian air assault brigades attacked with consolidated infantry groups either east of Rabotino or west of Verbovoye. What is there, that it was not possible to gain a foothold there, some of the assault groups of 82 Air Assault Brigade refused to fight, and one of the commanders was taken prisoner.

The number of casualties in the tactical group "Marun" is growing. Now, for the first time in a long time, units of the 71st Jaeger Brigade have appeared near the contact line, which have been understaffing since the battles for Bakhmut.

And, looking at the movements of reinforcements (which are also noted near Lobkove, where vacations were suspended for the 128th Brigade), one gets the impression that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for a new attack on a wide front.

And this time more massive. Mobile fire groups have been deployed to Malaya Tokmachka to cover ground forces, and the destruction of the British Challenger indicates their movement to the LBS.

Probably, the tank was moving to its original position before the offensive, which should begin in the near future, but came under a precise blow from the artillerymen of the RF Armed Forces.

The military campaign of the Ukrainian troops in the south of Ukraine depends on the success in this area, since operations in the Kherson region are possible only if the Armed Forces of Ukraine break through to Tokmok. However, the spring-summer, and now autumn, operation of the enemy is obviously faltering, and the loss of the first Challenger reduces the number of "super-techniques" that should turn the tide of the war.

13:53 Kherson direction setting as of 13.00 September 5, 2023

In the Kherson region, the situation remains the same: Ukrainian formations continue to shell the opposite bank, creating conditions for reconnaissance groups to cross the Dnieper.

And if the situation has stabilized in the island zone in the Golopristan sector and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are limited only to strikes, then east of Kherson, the activity of Ukrainian formations does not decrease.

Under the Antonovsky Bridge once again landed two DRGs of the territorial defense in two boats of ten people each. Russian artillery works on them, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine use the concrete columns of the bridge as a cover.

It also remains unclear the fate of the reconnaissance groups of the 124th Brigade of the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which a few days ago were transferred to the left bank on Alekseevsky Island, one km east of the Antonovsky Bridge.

Until now, there is a foothold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine a few kilometers northwest of Podstepne, where about ten people from the 126 troop brigade are equipping fortified strongholds and preparing for an attack on the Kazachi Lagery.

At the same time, these areas are more likely to be distracting, and the main blow, judging by the movements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will be concentrated on the island of Pereyaslavsky (Kozatsky), where the DRG 121 SRW and 131 orbs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are planned to be deployed.

After securing on the island, they plan to land several assault groups to reach Novaya Kakhovka. In recent days, artillerymen of the 406th Brigade from Tamarino have been artillery attack this area with high-precision M982 Excalibur projectiles.

And the timing of the start of the operation on the Dnieper depends on the success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Orekhovsky sector, since movement inland is possible only if the Armed Forces of Ukraine break through the first line of defense of the RF Armed Forces.

13:25 APU inflicted attacks on the village of Kozinka, Belgorod Region. Shell fragments damaged more than ten residential buildings, as well as power lines and a gas pipe.

Due to the ongoing shelling, repair teams are not yet able to begin to eliminate the consequences.

13:00 Vremyevsky section setting as of 11.00 September 5, 2023:

Early in the morning, on the right flank of the Vremievsky sector, the enemy became more active on the line between Zolotaya Niva and Prechistovka. Two armored fighting vehicles of the 38th Infantry Regiment, deployed there the day before, reached the line, where they were covered by artillery of the 40th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade. One of the armored vehicles was destroyed, the second went back.

A couple of hours later, Ukrainian formations attacked the positions of the 37th Brigade of the RF Armed Forces in Novodonetsk on one tank and five or six armored vehicles. The tank immediately hit a mine near the village, and the rest were dealt a massive blow from the 122mm 2S1 "Carnation" and 122mm BM-21 "Grad" 40 Gvobrmp, because of which they retreated.

And around 0800 hrs, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an attack on Novomayorskoye with infantry groups supported by two tanks. The attack was also repulsed by the forces of Russian marines.

The enemy’s intention here is obvious: the Ukrainian formations wanted to strike at the joint of the 37th Brigade and 40th gvobrmp, taking advantage of bad weather conditions, which made it difficult to use aviation, which was what Voin DV said.

Also, the concentration of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remains in the direction of Priyutnoye, where mutual artillery attack has been going on for the past few days, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine have pulled additional infantry units and mortar crews into the area in preparation for the attack.
