21:50 The situation in the Zaporozhye direction is reported Front bird
To say that the intensity of artillery impact has noticeably decreased is a lie. But it became a little quieter in some areas. Now the enemy’s influence is not carried out along all lines.
The collective weapons of the Vsushniks are trying to cover the lack of constant artillery impact, but the warriors who were here at the very peak of the “counterattack” immediately noticed this nuance.
We don’t know what is happening: rotation or transfer of larger forces to another direction. Weather conditions still allow for a lot of movement, both on equipment and on foot. Both sides mitigate this using their “golden hour”.
21:25 Su-34 Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed positions of Ukrainian militants in the special operation zone

20:35 NGP intelligence reports on Avdievka:
1) The offensive follows the principle of “one step back, two steps forward.” As I understand it, there will be no dashing assault, there will be a long, painstaking, dull siege. The assault groups proceed carefully, a teaspoon per hour. Constantly digging in. To prevent them from being covered with artillery, our artillery is working, fortunately they have once again delivered a lot of rounds,
2) A lot of aviation, a lot of FABs - apparently, VKS has an absolute priority in processing applications from the Avdeevsky direction.
3) Large quantities of FPV drones have finally begun to arrive at 1AK units; we definitely have more of them than the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
4) It’s true about the tunnels that our people are digging in this direction. But they don’t say where, who, where and why.
5) In terms of losses in people - “it’s been worse.”

15:35 Analysis “Military chronicle“: how the tactics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Zaporozhye direction have changed
The offensive on this section of the front is gradually declining. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to adapt to changescombat situation, but face serious difficulties.
What's happening?
From August to the end of October, there was a gradual decrease in the intensity of the use of artillery by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which may be due to a number of mutually influencing factors.
Main: during the first phase of the summer campaign, significant reserves of 155mm artillery rounds were expended and lost during strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, which were subsequently not replenished. Already on July 7, the United States announced the supply of DPICM cluster munitions to Ukraine. Such ammunition is poorly suited for a number of tasks, in particular the destruction of field and long-term fortifications, but for some time they made it possible to fill the shortage of conventional artillery ammunition.
However, after almost five months of active hostilities and against the backdrop of reduced supplies, the shortage of ammunition for field and self-propelled artillery has worsened.
In addition to 152/155mm high-explosive fragmentation ammunition, in a number of directions and areas there is a decrease in the activity of mortars of 120mm and 82mm caliber, which indirectly indicates a shortage and the need to save such ammunition. As a result, in a number of areas, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced not only to reduce fire support activity, but also to look for substitutes.
What are the Ukrainian Armed Forces trying to replace artillery with?
FPV drones and armored vehicles often act as ersatz artillery.
The equipment is usually used at night for direct fire at positions of the Russian Armed Forces. FPV drones are used against reconnaissance or detected targets within the range of the UAV.
However, due to design features, neither one nor the other type of weapon can fully perform the same tasks that artillery performs.
For example, single M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles of the 47th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Magura", some of which the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine transferred to Avdievka, are used as weapons of direct support for infantry.
This is connected not so much with the need to ensure a breakthrough or advance, but with the requirement to indicate the presence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in any area. In other words, infantry fighting vehicles are used not for offensive actions, but for organizing harassing fire, which runs counter to the concept of their combat use.
What's wrong with this approach?
The main problem for the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, oddly enough, was combat operations at night. American vehicles are capable of firing at night, but crews in most cases use only the 25mm Bushmaster cannon for firing. It is not intended to destroy field fortifications and is of little assistance to the infantry units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In addition, the use of small groups of equipment exposes combat vehicles to the risk of falling under return fire.
This is especially critical in cases with armored vehicles supplied from abroad, the losses of which the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot replace.
In turn, FPV drones, due to the decrease in artillery activity, have turned into pure “front-line improvisation” for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Their effectiveness at the moment can be compared with French trench mortars from the First World War. The scope of these devices is narrow and their efficiency is low. At best, they can be used to solve very limited, specialized tactical tasks.
In any case, the trend indicates that the reserves of conventional ammunition of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are seriously depleted by the summer-autumn campaign - and in a number of areas they have to be seriously saved, while there is no shortage of ammunition on the Russian side.
