18:00 APU canceled attack on Kherson due to problems with artillery. Details
According to the Military Chronicle, the operational command "South" postponed indefinitely the offensive scheduled for the end of October in the area of Kirov and Pravdin, on the border of the Kherson and Nikolaev regions, due to a shortage of 155 mm caliber guns.
In this area, to suppress the defense of the RF Armed Forces, Ukrainian troops planned to actively use German self-propelled guns PzH-2000 and AN/TPQ-36 Firefinder radars.
However, the counterbattery fight of the RF Armed Forces and the high activity of Russian aviation led to the fact that 70 percent of the PzH-2000 self-propelled guns delivered near Kherson were disabled. Some were worn out by intensive use and sent for repair.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have to compensate for the shortage of modern guns in the Kherson region with the guns of the Second World War. In n. Pribugskoye and Luparevo settlements (15 km from Pravdin and the line of combat) are deployed American towed M114 howitzers manufactured in 1942, transferred by Portugal.
In addition, the increased activity of Russian artillery in the Pravdinsky direction forced the Armed Forces of Ukraine to request additional self-propelled guns from NATO. However, the alliance cannot yet quickly supply modern weapons. Instead of the disabled PzH-2000s, the Italian OTO Melara M109L self-propelled guns, for which the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not yet have shells, can be delivered to the Kherson direction.
