11:55 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: What are the Ukrainian Armed Forces planning in the southern direction?

Over the past month, a characteristic change in the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces can be noted: on most of the front, Ukrainian formations went on the defensive due to large losses in manpower and equipment, as well as the start of counterattacks by the Russian Armed Forces.

However, this does not mean that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have the strength for one more attempt. Against the backdrop of the world community's attention being diverted to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and interest in Ukraine falling, attention needs to be attracted by hook or by crook. And now the only option for this is the south.

What is the enemy's plan?

The new 30th Naval Infantry Corps was transferred to the Kherson direction. Where exactly most of the units of the four brigades are located is unknown. But reconnaissance groups are already occupying lines along the Dnieper.

In addition to the 30th Corps, territorial defense units are involved in the direction, trying to create a bridgehead on the left bank. The group numbers up to 1,000 people, excluding MTR units.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are considering six directions for attack by several assault groups. The main gift will be made at the border of Krynka - Novaya Kakhovka and the Zheleznyi Port. The rest are needed to distract attention and pin down the RF Armed Forces (including the Zaporozhye sector of the front).

They can cross the river near Bolshaya Lepetikha (the 70th Pontoon Regiment is already stationed in that direction) and Energodar. The basis of the strike groups are units of the 37th Infantry Brigade and the Special Operations Command "West".

The enemy’s plans are transparent and understandable, but even despite this, preparations are in full swing. For the third time now, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been carrying out massive strikes on the rear areas of the Kherson region using all possible means, from cassettes to aviation.

The number of strikes in some sectors of the front increased five to six times. The ultimate goal of the mad dash in the south is to gain a foothold in any of the areas, create a bridgehead, gain a foothold and wait for reinforcements to arrive. And only then develop an attack on Crimea.

11:25 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: chronicle of a special military operation: events of October 9-10, 2023.

09:27 Zaporozhye Front, settlement Verbovoe reports Front bird:

The last two days of cold accompany the troops. In the morning, it feels like a slight minus. The enemy, in small groups, storms what remains after daily heavy and intense artillery shelling. There are no tactics used in close combat.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces simply move forward at full speed, if someone in their group dies or fails to charge into our positions, then after 30 minutes they are consistently replaced by others. The rotation of assault units is at a high level, as I noted earlier. The enemy is literally walking over his dead.

I don’t know where their sense of self-preservation is, but we sometimes see that in storming groups someone does not have an individual weapon. There are too many possibilities why this happens.
