#1  so far, per reports, Ukraine forces have only advanced a mile or two in a few specific places in the first few days of the counter offensive

not sure the depth of the Russian primary defensive formations

however, if Ukraine gets thru the primary formations in more than 3 or 4 places and assuming the secondary defense formations are relatively weak, Ukraine will be able to claw back a lot of territory

Posted by: lord garth || 06/11/2023 1:22 Comments || Top||

#2  Ukrainians are saying have forces a good deal greater than a mile south of the main line of contact, like 10 kms or so.

If so, that means that they are awaiting resupply, and/or the Russians are ignoring them, and waiting for the next battle to prevent those supplies from getting through.

#3  The Ukrainians are not saying much about the Zaporozhye offensive so almost all of the information is coming from Russian sources. That said, 10km is not far off. According to Rybar (Russian), yesterday Ukrainians were at Urozhaine and approaching Zavitne.

Blahodatne and Storozheve have also fallen to Ukraine (in same map).

#10  It seems Putin is starting to get rid of any remnants of local governance in Russia.

75 of the 89 existing Russian governors were already directly appointed by the Kremlin. With the new policy, mayors and local municipal councils of towns (and districts in large cities), villages will have no freedom at all.

The report emphasizes that in just the summer-autumn of 2022, more than 300 missiles were fired at the Kakhovskaya HPP from the American HIMARS MLRS alone.

17:54 Ukrainian militants fired 10 rockets from MLRS at Aleksandrovka.

17:50 Kherson direction. Over the past day, in the area of the village of Kazachi Lagery, the situation is as follows:

The enemy is firing from mortars and artillery pieces, using incendiary rounds, setting fire to the forest, fields with crops of civilians.

The water is receding, the Russian servicemen are at their former positions, the situation has returned to normal. The RF Armed Forces conduct aerial reconnaissance and observe all the actions of the Ukronazis.

16:49 Under fire from Ukrainian militants Petrovsky district of Donetsk. According to the DPR JCCC, five rounds with a caliber of 155mm were fired.

17:17 In the Zaporozhye direction, the enemies who tried to pick up the wrecked equipment were destroyed by artillery forces and kamikaze drones.

16:39 Under fire from Ukrainian militants Makeevka. According to the DPR JCCC, five rounds with a caliber of 155mm were fired.

16:28 Summaries from the Zaporozhye front. The front line is stable. The enemy suffered losses and rolled back, and was also thrown back from previously occupied positions.

In the direction of Rabotino-Verbovoye, the enemy sent the main part of his armored groups. Even on the outskirts of our positions, enemy equipment began to burn from the hits of Russian artillery, which worked out according to the coordinates of the movement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Having reached the distance, the Nazis began heavy fire from tank guns and armored personnel carriers at the positions of the 291st and 70th regiments.

In response, our fighters opened fire, destroying one after another the "boxes" of the enemy. Artillery worked from both sides throughout the night "counterattack." When the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine approached, our guys destroyed them with the use of small arms. Special Forces fire from ATGMs hit several units of enemy equipment.

In order to block the pulling up of our reinforcements, the enemy, using the MLRS, carried out remote mining of the Novoprokopovka-Rabotino road. Our aviation did not work that night, because. the situation was under complete control and air support was not required.

16:09 Donetsk and Yasinovataya are under fire from Ukrainian militants. According to the DPR JCCC, 14 rounds with a caliber of 155mm were fired.

15:23 Exclusive personnel panorama of the battles for Novodonetsk.
The first frames show the advancement of the wheeled armored group of the 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Oshkosh M-ATV, Mastiff and AMX-10RC armored vehicles, supported by Mi-8 helicopters.

Moving along the landings, the column slipped through the positions of the 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the RF Armed Forces and came under fire from the artillery of the 40th Naval Infantry of the Pacific Fleet, but still managed to successfully reach the western outskirts of Novodonetskoye. Next is the approach of the French AMX-10RC, which at first tried to act as assault guns, but then withdrew into a landing where they would be abandoned.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine landed infantry, part of which remained to fight for Novodonetskoye, while the other advanced to no avail on the heights in the direction of Kermenchik. However, despite first seizing the initiative, they were unable to build on their success.

Being under constant fire, the enemy turned out to be disorganized, began to fire indiscriminately and randomly move around the village in armored cars, clearly not understanding what to do next. You can observe the work of mortars on enemy armored vehicles on the territory of Novodenetsky.

Another part of the column of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which tried to outflank the positions of the RF Armed Forces, ran into a minefield and also came under artillery fire. Having immediately lost one "Mastiff" and received damage to others, the enemy retreated.

Soon the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which occupied most of Novodonetsk, also had to retreat. Unable to realize the initiative and unable to withstand the artillery attack of artillery, the enemy began a hasty flight. The retreat of one "Mastiff" crammed full of infantry (as Ukrainian marines said in an appeal) and several others abandoned on the territory of the village can be seen in the final panorama.


15:20 Statement of head of the press center of the Vostok group:

In the South-Donetsk direction, units of the group of forces "Vostok", with the support of artillery and aviation, inflicted fire damage on the enemy, who is trying to conduct offensive operations. The motorized rifle units of the group destroyed the manpower of the nationalists south of Vodiane, six armored vehicles and manpower in the area of the Oktyabr state farm.

In the Zaporizhia direction, the enemy is also trying to conduct offensive operations. Attacks are successfully reflected. Six tanks and manpower were destroyed in the Malaya Tokmachka area, three tanks, one infantry fighting vehicle, three armored vehicles and manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Novodanilovka area.

Howitzer artillery fire destroyed a self-propelled artillery mount "Caesar" in the Zaleznichny area.

Calculations of heavy flamethrower systems hit two strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Dorozhnyanka area.

The forces of the air defense units shot down the Leleka UAV.


15:16 Russian fighters who fought in the Zaporozhye direction,reportthat, apparently, in the camp of the Ukrainian allies there was some kind of discord, not even discord, and the Americans decided to punish the obstinate Ukrainians.

According to the fighters, the Ukrainians are fighting without intelligence at all, without normal communications, and missile strikes do not hit targets, but with their inaccuracy. This directly indicates that the Americans have temporarily stopped issuing coordinates, analyzing and providing intelligence information, including from satellites, and Ukraine has been transferred to Starlink from the premium package to the economy package.

As the battles of recent days have shown, the Ukrainian army, without the support of the Americans and their command and control systems, simply cannot conduct complex operations and is turning into what we are seeing on the footage of recent days. Well, yes, the burning German "Leopards" gave the guys tough motivation, to the maximum. The guys are in high spirits, there is no longer any dismorality, and no one is particularly afraid of Western technology, because it burns brightly like a match.

15:02 Ukrainian militants fired 10 rockets from the MLRS in the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk - DPR JCCC.

14:40
A total of 66 people hospitalized from flooded territories of Kherson region

Ambulances took 66 people out of Alyosheki, Golaya Pristan and Novaya Kakhovka - now they are receiving medical assistance if necessary.

“Patients are provided with all the necessary medical care. Doctors cope with the load. Assistance is provided to them by doctors from other regions of Russia, sent to receive the Ministry of Health of Russia. The situation is under my personal control,” said Artysh Sat, Minister of Health of the region.

14:10 Circumstancein Zaporozhye at 14:00 Moscow time:

On the Orekhov-Rabotino line, the enemy continues a massive artillery artillery attack of positions, the entrance to them, at the same time surrounding neighboring settlements, incl. Rabotino.

According to the fighters, "the feeling is that for each barrel they have a BC wagon." At the same time, the enemy infantry is not yet taking active actions, which, apparently, is connected with pulling up reserves to continue the offensive.

14:05 What has changed after the first days of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: analysis military chronicle.

The Ukrainian army has been trying to attack the positions of the RF Armed Forces for almost six days. During this time, the tactics of both the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian army have changed. What are these changes? What unusual thing happened during the offensive?

In addition to the shots with the destruction of the Ukrainian armored column, there were videos of unsuccessful offensive from the Ukrainian side.

One of the videos clearly shows that a convoy of American M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles stops in the field due to the explosion of the lead vehicle on mines, and then is covered by artillery and ATGM fire. It is noteworthy that weapons operators are firing indiscriminately, and the actions of the column as a whole defy logical explanation, there is panic and a violation of the principles of battle management.

According to the Military Chronicle, the reason for the chaotic movements on the battlefield lies in the training of the Ukrainian military abroad. Drivers, gunners and commanders of the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles underwent an accelerated five-week training course at the Grafenwehr training ground in Germany.

The combat coordination of the military personnel of the 47th Brigade, where the M2 Bradley were transferred, was not actually carried out, and a significant part of the military personnel of this formation was mobilized shortly before the start of crew training abroad. This led to a disruption in the control of the unit, indiscriminate firing, fire on friendly and, as a result, loss of equipment on the battlefield.

It is noteworthy that Ukrainian troops lost more than 10% of all delivered M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, as well as about 20% of Leopard 2A6 tanks in just 48 hours of active hostilities.

What are the changes in the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine? Since June 9, Leopard 2A6 heavy tanks have practically not been used for breakthrough attempts. So far, the Armed Forces of Ukraine use small company-tactical groups on light armored vehicles. After the loss of several Leopard 2A6 tanks, the use of these vehicles is allowed only in the event of a breakthrough to a depth of several kilometers, which did not happen from the very beginning of the offensive.

The tactics of the offensive have changed: if in the early days of the strikes, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles with mine protection were used on a wide front, now vehicles are used to a limited extent. The column advances to the attack lines at low speed, and after the start of artillery attack or mine explosions, Ukrainian troops immediately try to retreat, after which they regroup and look for a new entry point. It is noteworthy that mine sweeps,

What are the changes in the tactics of the RF Armed Forces? The general plan for the defense of the Russian army in the Zaporozhye direction has not changed. It is based on three components: the early detection of targets and their destruction, the massive use of anti-tank weapons and the repeated mining of territories along which the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could or planned to approach the firing lines of the first line of defense.

Presumably, the system of remote mining "Agriculture" is most actively used to implement the last point. It allows not only to place minefields on the routes of movement of Ukrainian columns, but also to complicate the work of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the rear. It is also curious that "Agriculture" is probably used not only before the start of Ukrainian attacks, but also in the interval between them. The effect of the remote installation of anti-tank mines is double:


13:43 Under fire from Ukrainian militants Makeevka (Chervonogvardeisky district). According to the DPR JCCC, five rounds with a caliber of 155mm were fired.

13:33 Ukrainian militants fired six rockets at Ozeryanovk from MLRS - DPR JCCC.

13:20 Statement of head of the press center of the group "South":

The units of the Southern Group of Forces repulsed two enemy attacks in the Lisichansk and Avdeevsk directions. The enemy suffered losses in manpower. In the area of the village of Serebryanka, the artillery of the group destroyed three infantry fighting vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and one infantry fighting vehicle in the Bogdanovka area. As part of the counter-battery fight, mortar crews were destroyed in the areas of Verkhnekamensky, Umansky and Pobeda. An enemy artillery gun was also destroyed in the Levanevsky area.

Operational-tactical aviation carried out a bombing strike on the concentration of weapons and military equipment, as well as on the point of temporary deployment of the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Avdiivka area.

The crew of the Solntsepek TOS inflicted a defeat on the accumulation of enemy manpower in the area of the settlement of Yagodnoye. The calculation of the Buk-M2 air defense system near the village of Kodema shot down an enemy UAV "Leleka-100".


13:09 Fighting continues on the Zaporozhye front. The “fog of war”, which has tightly tightened the place of a major battle, does not allow you to follow its progress in detail, Russian military, statesman and political figure Igor Strelkov wrote on his Telegram channel.

“So far, it is only clear that my prediction that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not stop the offensive in the Melitopol direction is justified. The enemy continues to attack fiercely and bring fresh reserves into battle. It is also clear that he again failed to break through the front last night, and there is no any serious progress. Meanwhile, losses are growing, and reserves are being spent,” the military said.

According to the publicist, such persistence will be enough for the enemy for another 4-5 days. If by that time the resistance of the Russian troops does not weaken and the enemy does not feel the weakening of the defense, the enemy’s attacks will decline and/or he will transfer the direction of the strike to some other sector of the front.

“In this regard, the enemy’s stubbornness looks somewhat strange precisely in the sector where he met the toughest resistance without the slightest success and cannot yet advance “from the word at all.”

- After all, west of Ugledar - on the so-called. Vremevsky ledge - tactical successes (by now completely liquidated) were on the very first day and it would be logical to attack with the main forces and develop success precisely there (now it’s too late, of course). On the face of a clear mistake of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the lack of flexibility in the leadership of the offensive.

On the other hand, the transfer of large masses of troops and equipment near the front is fraught with large losses on the marches. In any case, the battle has just begun, the enemy is driving very large reserves from the deep rear to the front (according to data from open sources - up to 300-400 tanks and no less than other AFVs).


12:58 Donetsk and Mineralnoe are under fire from Ukrainian militants. According to the DPR JCCC, 10 rounds with a caliber of 155mm were fired.

12:44 The artillery attack of the VFU de-energized the Gorlovsky village "Golmovsky".

12:34 Under fire from Ukrainian terrorists, the village of Golmovsky (Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka).

12:21 The Nazis again attacked the Christian church. This time, the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine opened fire on the Church of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Grand Duke Vladimir in Donetsk -video.

12:15 UAV calculations lead round-the-clock reconnaissance in the South-Donetsk direction.

With the help of improved UAVs, military personnel make about a dozen sorties in order to timely detect, identify accumulations and temporary locations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

UAV operators promptly transfer the reconnoitered coordinates of new targets to the command post, where a decision is made to launch a fire strike on the identified targets.

The professional work of UAV crews, the timeliness of reconnaissance and the destruction of reconnoitered targets make it possible to significantly reduce the offensive potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the line of contact.

12:04 Under fire from Ukrainian militants, Donetsk and N. p. Golmovsky. According to the DPR JCCC, 11 rounds with a caliber of 155mm and 152mm were fired.

12:00 The front line is stable. The enemy is thrown back. The use of the tactics of assault waves by the Armed Forces of Ukraine is noted:

- artillery preparation,

- advancement of several armored groups (7-8 vehicles plus infantry),

- an attempt to approach our positions, storm the trenches, consolidate in anticipation of the approach of the main forces, with the task of moving deep into our defenses,

In practice, our artillery destroys enemy armored objects as soon as they fall within its reach. If the assault group manages to reach our strongholds, the uncompromising Russian infantry enters the battle. Otherwise, the remaining intact armor of the enemy turns around, leaves, replenishes ammunition, refuels and goes back into battle.

The storm wave lasts from thirty minutes to several hours. The attack is on for six days. The front line is stable. Yesterday, the Russian infantry and special forces destroyed the enemy in all our trenches, where they managed to sit down yesterday and the day before yesterday. We even regained our positions in the gray zone, where our outposts were sitting.

Why is the enemy advancing in columns and along the same routes? In addition to the ruthless Russian artillery, aviation, there is also a continuous mining of approaches. The enemy is afraid of getting into our dense minefields.

The absolute disregard of the Ukrainian commanders for the losses in their assault detachments is noted.

The entire Russian defense, the entire system of fire damage built by the commanders, does not give the enemy a chance.


11:52 Victims after the strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at a temporary accommodation facility in the Kherson region have burns and carbon monoxide poisoning - Vladimir Saldo.

“People are being taken to medical centers, intensive care vehicles are working. Victims are being airlifted to Crimea, to a burn hospital, where they will receive maximum assistance,” said Acting Governor Vladimir Saldo.

11:49 APU units shelled Lisichansk and the settlements that are part of the city 15 times in a week, the city administration reported in its Telegram channel.

11:31 According to the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for June 10, as of 11:30, information was received about victims among civilians in the cities of the Republic:

n.p. Gorlovka (Central-Gorodskoy district): - on the street. Collective farm wounded a man born in 1982.

Information was received about damage as a result of artillery attack of the VFU cities of the Republic:

Donetsk (Kirovskiy district): - st. Kirov, 401 - a private residential building.

11:19 Under fire from Ukrainian militants Petrovsky district of Donetsk. According to the DPR JCCC, 10 rockets were fired from the MLRS and five rounds with a caliber of 155mm.

11:17 Zaporozhye Front. The enemy, due to significant losses in armored vehicles, changes tactics in one of the directions. Now the enemy infantry is thrown forward, which uses the folds of the terrain to approach our combat positions. Armored vehicles support the infantry, being a couple of kilometers away from our troops.

There is a lot of NATO equipment, but its quantity is limited. But Kyiv still mobilizes infantry. In fact, due to precise work on the crowded waves of AFVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy is gradually moving to the tactics of “meat assaults”. But this does not mean that he will not concentrate tank strikes on the most advantageous sectors of the front for himself.

11:09 Donetsk, Aleksandrovka and Gorlovka are under fire from Ukrainian militants. According to the DPR JCCC, 17 rounds with a caliber of 155mm and 152mm were fired.

10:17 In the Donetsk direction, the enemy carried out a series of attacks in the direction of Maryinka, Experienced and Water. All of them were severely repulsed. Oncadresartillery strike of 150 msd on the accumulation of enemy forces.

08:50 Zaporozhye front: after a powerful fire preparation using artillery and 122mm BM-21 Grad MLRS, the Nazis launched flares and powerful illuminators into the sky in order to reveal our positions.

After that, the enemy threw armored groups with manpower into the attack from several directions. At the same time, they tried to enter from the side of the minefields, having previously sent British mine-clearing equipment there. Whether the equipment is of poor quality, or the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not know how to use it, but as a result of movement from the side of the minefields, some of the Nazis flew into the air.

History repeats itself
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from Russian military correspondent Aleksandr Kots. Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets is in italics.

Like 80 years ago, the Nazis (German tanks, Nazi regime in Ukraine) with crosses are burning in Ukraine.

But this is not only a coincidence. Like 80 years ago, these Nazi tanks are taken as trophies.

Military correspondent Alexander Kots writes: The first "Leopards" were captured


Journalists are at a low start. constructors too. And the military can’t wait until they can feel the hyped tank with their hands. But perhaps most of all, millions of ordinary Russians, who have been anxiously reading the news reports, want to get to know him better.

The West has decided to supply Leopards to Ukraine.

"Leopards" photographed on railway platforms.

"Leopards" seen in a forest plantation.

And, finally, the long-awaited: we burned the first Leopards!

It is clear that sooner or later one of the tanks abandoned by the crew will be pulled from the front of our tanks. And maybe not just one. It is clear that first of all it will fall into the hands of specialists who will disassemble it to the screw. And they will perform these manipulations in deep and secret silence. But already now we need to think about how to inflict an open information strike on the Leopards.

And this is the case when TV channels, newspapers, leading military bloggers do not have to chase exclusive. And vice versa - to unite under the leadership of the Moscow Region and to acquaint the country with the bulky trophy as detailed as possible. How terrible is this devil? And is it as much as it is painted?

Already now it is necessary to draw up a pool of writers and filmers for the “leopard hunt”. Identify designers who will talk about its strengths and demonstrate vulnerable areas.

Determine the range where specialists from Uralvagonzavod drive the Leopard along an obstacle course, through water barriers, in different engine operating modes. And they will arrange a kilometer race between the T-90M and the Leopard, and then answer the questions of journalists.

And at the training ground of the Ministry of Defense, prepare equipment in order to sequentially fire at the captured tank under the lenses of photo and movie cameras with all the anti-tank weapons that we have - from RPGs and ATGMs to 125-mm shells. And give the floor to the gunners from the front.

Captured German tanks are our trump card in the information war. The news about the defeat of the Ukrainian armored group made a lot of noise in the Western media and the blogosphere. And even the Russophobe Julian Roepke from Bild is naturally hysterical. So let's milk these Leopards dry. Let's reveal all their secrets. Perhaps then the West will once again think before giving us their military technology.

Say, I am engaged in hat-taking? In no case. In recent days, there have been good trends in the information support of the SVO: a lot of up-to-date video, comments by military leaders on the events of the day, live portraits of soldiers and officers. It is necessary to develop this offensive, especially against the background of the stupor of Ukrainian publics. It's temporary, no doubt. They will come to their senses and again will inflate every tiny win by 200 percent.

It doesn't seem to me impossible to quickly print several thousand posters with infographics of Western technology - strengths and weaknesses, And the most vulnerable points for our shells and missiles. So that these posters hang in every dugout at the front and at every training ground in the rear. And share them online. And in general, I would like to see the "Leopard" in Moscow's Gorky Park, at the same place where the defeated German equipment was exhibited during the Great Patriotic War. Having previously driven the Leopard along the Garden Ring with a photo session at the US Embassy.

But this is what I've been dreaming about...

In trench slang, "Leopard" is "cat". They were quickly christened. And I was very pleased with the thoughts of Sasha Kots about the first "captive cat". Yes, "Leopard" must be squeezed out, like that very dead cat Vaska from the joke about a bucket of alcohol.

Moreover, it is necessary to open people's eyes to many "cool" things from that side. We are talking about the flawed system of NATO training of Ukrainian soldiers, but who believes us? Here is confirmation.

Alexander Khodakovsky just told me about the attack of the Ukrainian elite units in the Vuhledar direction: “We thought super-soldiers were coming at us. In terms of the number of tanks and armored cars, there are more than our personnel. We took a closer look ... And they have a mess both in management and in execution. And they started beating them."

I remember 2005, the US military base "Grafenwohr", and the face of our Russian cadet, getting out of the American tank "Abrams", after the first driving:

- How is the "Abrams?"
- Shit.
- Why?
- Bulky. Our T-72 is better.

[ColonelCassad] The destruction of the Kakhovskaya HPP: what is known by the end of June 10

It is the fourth day since the destruction of the Kakhovskaya HPP. The situation in the region remains difficult, but already relatively more controllable.

In Aleshki, the water level dropped by two meters, in Golaya Pristan - by one. In Novaya Kakhovka, the water is almost gone and the authorities have already started cleaning the streets. Electricity is supplied to most of the settlements.

Russian hydropower companies believe that the Dnieper will return to its usual course below the destroyed hydroelectric power station by June 16.

More than 6,000 people have already been evacuated from the flood zone. The EMERCOM of the Russian Federation, Russian servicemen and volunteers from various public associations are involved in rescue work.

Nearly 2,000 people have been settled in temporary accommodation facilities.

▪️According to the latest estimates, the damage from the destruction of the dam at the hydroelectric power station amounted to about 11.5 billion rubles. More than 60% of the volume of water has already flowed out of the Kakhovka reservoir.

▪️Meanwhile, the authorities have created a special commission to eliminate the consequences of the flood, it will be headed by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin.

The head of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Murashko, in turn, said that there were no problems with the delivery of medicines to the Kherson region.

▪️Residents of the Zaporozhye region published a video showing that part of the Dnieper became shallow and dried up. In the future, this may threaten the deterioration of the ecological situation in the region.

▪️At the same time, the disaster that befell the residents of the Kherson region did not become an obstacle to the ongoing shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - today the enemy hit ( https://t.me/rybar/48341?single) in the south of the region, where the accommodation facilities for the victims are located.
