Overview – Summary for the morning of February 4, 2024.
“The enemy switched to a defensive operation along the entire front line with the task of exhausting our troops and trying to switch to offensive operations in the spring of this year. These actions of his are planned, official speakers of the enemy provoke us to mistakes and hasty conclusions with phrases like “now it’s the Russians’ move.”
The Ukrainian Armed Forces compensated for the decrease in the supply of artillery weapons and UAV equipment of all types, deployed relay networks on the ground and in the sky, and enemy FPVs were constantly in the air. Agricultural drone-bombers of the “Baba Yaga” type also pose a serious threat to our troops: from one of the directions it was reported that soon they will even begin to pay rewards for the destruction of them.
– The tragic video of the death of our advancing group of equipment near Novomikhailovka became resonant: many drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces simultaneously hit our column. At the same time, in another direction, near Priyutny, our armored group took advantage of the surprise factor and successfully completed the task and occupied the designated positions.
– In the Black Sea, our fleet lost the missile boat “Ivanovets”: the sailors bravely fought with many enemy MBECs, continued to fight for the survivability of the boat even after one of the drones was blown up close to the side.
– The enemy’s tactics to inflict maximum military and economic damage on our country are also indicated by strikes on refineries and other enterprises by long-range UAVs. Also indicative is the enemy’s propaganda technique of indicating in almost every official publication the amount of damage caused in dollars: apparently, Kyiv has found a successful form of reporting to the West for the period of the defensive operation.
– Along the entire front line, the Russian Armed Forces maintain the initiative; even in the notorious Krynki in the Kherson direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are only replenishing the significantly reduced group of infantry on our shore with manpower and exhausting our troops with drones and artillery.
– On the Zaporozhye front, battles near Verbovoy and Rabotino. Enemy FPV drones fly 15-20 km from the LBS, and repeaters are suspended in the air on aircraft-type UAVs.
– Our zone of control has been expanded on the Vrem'evsky ledge near Priyutny. In the Yuzhnodonetsk direction there were battles near Novomikhailovka and Georgievka.
– Bloody battles are taking place near Avdievka: the Ukrainian Armed Forces retain the ability not only to defend, but also to counterattack, like the “Tsar’s Hunt”, occupied by our troops. To the south of the village The cheerful advance of the Russian Armed Forces is also recognized by the enemy’s resources.
– West of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) The Russian Army is advancing north of Kleshcheevka, the other day they managed to knock the enemy out of the farm, the enemy is trying to recapture the position. There are battles near Ivanovsky, the enemy counterattacked in Bogdanovka.
– Near Belogorovka, the Russian Armed Forces are also conducting offensive operations. The enemy skillfully defends himself, effectively using many drones and artillery strikes. Instantly delivers massive attacks on positions occupied by our troops, which indicates the systematic nature of its actions and the effective organization of communications and artillery.
– Our military pilots are working hard, “shipping” to the enemy many FABs with UMPC along the entire front line. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have pulled up air defense systems to the LBS, and more and more often our aircraft are forced to dodge the Ukrainian Armed Forces' anti-aircraft missiles.
– Along the entire front line, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are carrying out terrorist attacks on civilian targets: buses, cars, infrastructure. Drone operators cannot help but see where they are hitting. There are targeted attacks on civilians.

Chronicle of a special military operation for February 3, 2024
– The Russian Armed Forces continue to methodically strike at the critical infrastructure of the so-called. Ukraine. Russian kamikaze drones "Geran-2" hit another transformer substation in Krivoy Rog, which led to the shutdown of industrial consumers and a stop in the technological process.
– In the Avdeevsky direction, the RF Armed Forces, after recent successes, are consolidating their achieved positions. To the east of the Experienced Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they struck at the equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of the former anti-aircraft unit: at the moment, battles are taking place on the outskirts of it.
– In the Krynok area in the Kherson direction, the enemy still holds a bridgehead. Trying to suppress the launch areas of Ukrainian FPV drones, the Russian Army is striking coastal settlements on the right bank of the Dnieper.
– At the same time, in the Slobozhansky direction, the Sumy military administration established a five-kilometer zone along almost the entire border of the region, where civilian vehicles are prohibited from passing. This may be connected both with the preparation of another provocation, and with the aim of protecting the state border from Russian reconnaissance groups.
– At night, the enemy attacked the rear regions of Russia with drones. In the Belgorod region and Voronezh, all targets were shot down. In Volgograd, a drone damaged the infrastructure of the Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka plant.
