18:27 News from the fronts from the SVO Reports and Analytics channel:
Kupyansk direction: after yesterday evening’s powerful artillery barrage, our army moved on to storm Sin'kovka, Petropavlovka and Ivanovka. We have made significant progress today; in some areas the progress has been more than a kilometer. The enemy indirectly confirmed our success.
Svatovo-Kremensky direction: in this direction, our army advanced extremely successfully in the Makeevka area in the direction of Borovaya. The advance was more than two kilometers. At these minutes, the enemy’s defenses were broken through in two places. Our fighters continue to build on their success.
18:20 The Russian Armed Forces began to actively apply loitering ammunition "Lancet" with a new guidance system.
In fact, the target recognition and acquisition system in the new Lancet (aka Product-53) works like the homing head of an air-to-surface missile, which allows for absolute accuracy in hitting a target, including objects in motion.
It is noteworthy that after the destruction of the Czech RM-70 Vampire MLRS, the drone also targeted the Czech 152mm wheeled self-propelled gun vz.77 Dana.
After the introduction of the new Lancets, the calculation tasks are reduced to designating a combat duty zone in the program and launching the drone from a catapult. The search and target acquisition functions are performed automatically, and the crew can change position immediately after launch.
17:25 Ukrainian Armed Forces landing in Kherson, Leopard in the Zaporozhye direction and the “Bakhmut mistake” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Kupyansk: how it has changed situation at the front by October 25:
Kherson region: the situation with the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attempts to gain a foothold on the left bank with the help of the DRG remains difficult. The landing units have made no tangible progress: small boats and platoons of ten to 25 people do not allow them to move deeper into the territory to create something resembling a bridgehead, but enemy activity remains.
Ukrainian troops do not pay attention to losses: if a group of 30 people died in one area, another one may be killed there the next day. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are most active on the Cossack Camps - Krynki section, but there is no progress on the ten-kilometer section, and there are large losses.
Zaporozhye: after several weeks of calm, the Ukrainian Armed Forces resumed the use of heavy equipment - Leopard 2A6 tanks, Stryker armored personnel carriers and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. Several units are on the verge of being re-deployed to restore combat capability in the Rabotino-Verbovoye sector: the 46th Airbornec Brigade, the 116th and 117th Mechanized Infantry Brigades, as well as part of the units of the 71st Jaeger Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In other units, on the contrary, a hidden rotation is carried out (mainly at night): the forces of the 82nd Airborne Brigade are actively changing, but the brigade suffers large losses precisely when trying to carry out rotation.
Kupyansk - Svatovo - Kremennaya: battles continue for the suburbs in the area of Sin'kovka, Kislovka and Kotlyarivka. The main part of the combat work is still carried out by artillery and tanks, but aviation has been most actively involved in the last 72 hours. In the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kupyansk and further, to Izyum and Balakleya, FAB-1500 with a planning and correction module are actively used.
In this area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are making the same mistake as during the defense of Artyomovsk and the offensive in Zaporozhye: in order to contain the activity of the Russian Armed Forces, instead of retreating and waiting for the main breakthrough area to appear, the Ukrainian Armed Forces moved to an area of 250 square meters/km there are about 20 brigade formations from different ends of the front.
This simplified the performance of combat missions for Russian aviation, since strikes against enemy troops with maximum compaction were well practiced in Zaporozhye. In the direction of Svatova and Kremennaya - no changes, the only oddity is a large number of prisoners of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, surrendering several times a day.
Velikaya Novoselka - Urozhaynoye: in the Urozhaynoye - Staromayorskoye section, units of the 72nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade and the 128th TrO Brigade were ambushed several times and suffered heavy losses during counterattacks by the Russian Armed Forces. At the moment, the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have the strength to make major breakthroughs to the village of Zavetnye Zhelaniye. Troops are being regrouped and forces are being accumulated for repeated attacks.
Artyomovsk - Soledar: The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to try to break through on the northern and southern flanks. Activity remains in the area of Berkhovka and Orekhovo-Vasilevka in the north-west, as well as in the area of Kleshcheevka and Andreevka in the south.
It is noteworthy that on the northern and southern fronts of Artyomovsk the Ukrainian artillery is gradually dying down: they are trying to save rounds, and mostly cluster munitions are used for harassing fire. Heavy fighting is taking place in the area of the route to Slavyansk and Seversk.
16:30 A UAV of the Western Group of Forces, using an FPV drone, disabled the electronic warfare tower of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the village. Dusty Kharkov region –video.
14:25 Vremevsky section situation as of 14.00 October 25, 2023
In the Vrem'yevsky sector, Russian troops are gradually pushing through the defenses of Ukrainian formations, weakened after the withdrawal of the Marine Corps to the Kherson direction.
The main backbone of the Armed Forces of Ukraine consists of military defense units from the 118th, 127th and 128th Brigades. At the same time, in the 127th TRO, 40% of the personnel from among the soldiers and sergeants were sent to the front without basic combat training.
The offensive comes from the side of Priyutnoye along the forest belts to the north near the Grushevaya gully. Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces managed to partially push the enemy to the ravine, but the fighting still continues.
Due to a shortage of people, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are relying on small-sized drones and mortars, which they use to hit Russian positions. Also along the LBS, mobile electronic warfare teams “Nota” are actively operating to combat UAVs and communications.
The command of the Russian Armed Forces in the sector took into account the weakening of the enemy’s lines in the Vrem'evsky sector and took advantage of this by launching a systematic attack, gradually knocking out the Ukrainian Armed Forces and at the same time preserving the lives of personnel.
14:17 Donbass Partisan comments on the attack on the ammunition storage site in the Khmelnitsky region
Tonight, the Russian Armed Forces carried out a complex strike on military facilities in the Khmelnitsky region, one of the targets hit was the 47th ammunition storage arsenal (military unit A1358).
According to official data, both small arms and heavier ammunition (grenades, mines, rocket rounds, explosives, etc.) were stored at the facility.
The arsenal is equipped with six secure underground ammunition storage facilities, which are currently used for the temporary storage of Western-supplied weapons (a kind of logistics center). In order to ensure the autonomy of the facility, its own power plant was built in 2022, which indicates its importance.
The arsenal is also equipped with systems for early detection and combating unmanned aerial vehicles (apparently this was the reason for the active operation of air defense in the region, which led to the fall of air defense missiles in residential areas).
According to incoming data, at least one Geran-2 attack drone hit a warehouse in the eastern part of the territory. After the strike, a fire broke out on the spot, which was accompanied by a secondary detonation. The fire itself was extinguished only by this afternoon. There is no exact information about what was stored in the affected hangar.
14:00 From the Artyomovsky direction (western outskirts of Bakhmut and the village of Krasnoe) NGP exploration reports:
“In the morning, the enemy decided to rotate their defensive positions, because those who have been sitting there for the 5th day must go for sanitation.
Well, as it usually happens, they like to move along the route with adrenaline and fire, mixed with dope or tablets made in the USA - this probably adds more. And since the enemies were shining brightly along the route, how could we miss the opportunity to stain their trousers? Result: the shift was a failure, sanitation was disrupted.”
13:35 The Ukrainian army struck the village of Belorechensky in the LPR, there were no casualties, civilian infrastructure was damaged, the head of the Lutuginsky district, Yevgeny Bondar, said in his Telegram channel.
“The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a missile attack on the peaceful village of Belorechensky. I am monitoring the restoration of facilities after the attack by the Ukronazis,” Bondar wrote.
He clarified that the gas pipeline was damaged as a result of the impact. More than 700 subscribers were left without gas supply.
“The school, kindergarten, cultural center, apartment and private residential sector were damaged. Fortunately, there were no casualties,” said the head of the district.
13:25 The Diary of a Paratrooper reports from the Kherson direction:
“Aerial reconnaissance identified an enemy group of six people near the railway bridge.
The artillery of the Russian Armed Forces carried out targeted fire.
Also, according to operational control, there is confirmation of five 200s.”
13:15 The Russian Armed Forces launch artillery strikes on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Khar'kov region.
According to Come and See, Russian artillery is conducting massive artillery attack of Ukrainian positions in the Kupyansky district of the Kharkov region.
“Arta is launching massive attacks on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” said the channel’s source.
Earlier, the Russian Armed Forces were able to advance in the Kupyansk direction.
12:35 Kherson direction situation as of 12.00 October 25, 2023:
Yesterday, late in the evening, after the transfer of assault groups 35, 36 and 38 Naval Infantry Brigades to various parts of Aleshkinsky Island, the enemy gained a foothold at an intersection near Dach and began moving in the direction of Peschanivka with Poima and Podstepnoye - Kudasovo.
Two assault groups of the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade, which were moving towards Podstepnoye, came under a massive artillery attack. As a result, three people were killed and seven were injured. They were evacuated first to Dachi, and then to the right bank.
The second group from the 36th Naval Infantry Brigade was consolidated in the area of the small railway bridge and tried to advance to the Poima, and a detachment of the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade attacked the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in Peschanovka. During the ensuing battle, they first managed to enter the northern outskirts, but after that they were knocked out with losses.
In Krynki, the 810th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces continued to clear the village. Ukrainian formations were seriously entrenched in the populated area, but over the past 24 hours, Russian fighters in heavy battles almost managed to squeeze the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of Krynki.
However, clashes continue. The enemy is transferring reinforcements, and artillery (M777 and self-propelled guns) and mortars are being massively deployed in areas where the Russian Armed Forces are concentrated, including in landing areas.
Russian fighters are also conducting an intensified counterbattery fight. If in the Peschanivka - Krynki section the work of the UAV is complicated by the active counteraction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' electronic warfare, then to the north everything is somewhat better.
As a result of a drone strike, the Russian Armed Forces were able to hit the repair base of the 7th Separate Support Regiment in Novaya Kamenka, where several pieces of equipment were being repaired. And in Sablukovka a warehouse with ammunition was destroyed.
12:31 Situation in the Sumy direction from the Front Bird:
“Several explosions have been reported on the eastern outskirts of the region. There is an opinion that it was the sushniks who fired at themselves from homemade surface-to-air-to-surface missiles of the S-200 system.”
Well, or, according to the classics, our videoconferencing systems give the heat.
12:27 To Zaporozhyeshot "Babu Yaga." Another “Baba Yaga”, shot down by soldiers of the 9th company of the 291st Motorized Rifle Regiment in the Zaporozhye direction.
They were shot down with small arms. The blade was damaged, after which the drone grounded. The damage to the “bird” is minimal, so now the guys are looking for an opportunity to reflash the flying monster and put it into service.
