Strike of the Russian Armed Forces on objects on the territory of Ukraine on February 27 - what is known by 12:30

Last night, Russian troops carried out further attacks on enemy rear targets in various regions of the so-called. Ukraine. Explosions occurred in the occupied part of the DPR, as well as in the Kharkov, Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, Kirovograd, Poltava, Khmelnitsky and even Rivne regions - in most regions the enemy’s air defense systems were activated.

At the same time, once again, flight infrastructure facilities and temporary deployment points for personnel were chosen as targets for the fire raid. To defeat them, both ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones “Geran-2” were used.

Poltava: two strikes were carried out on the territory of the air base where the 18th Separate Army Aviation Brigade named after Igor Sikorsky (18 OBrAA, military unit A3384) is stationed. As a result of the defeat, the Mi-24 attack helicopter was destroyed. Three more aircraft, including the Mi-8MSB, were also damaged.

Kirovograd: One of the missiles managed to reach the territory of the air base in Alexandria, which is used by the National Guard. As a result of the damage, a fire broke out at the facility, and repeated sounds of explosions were recorded, which may indicate signs of a secondary detonation. Rescue operations are currently ongoing.

Sumy: the Geran-2 attack UAV hit the territory of an agricultural enterprise near the village of Khoten, which was used by the enemy as a temporary storage point for equipment.

The territories of the DPR controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine: attacks were carried out on the positions of Ukrainian formations in Toretsk, Kurakhovo and Liman.

Air bases in Poltava and Alexandria were targets of destruction at the beginning of the Northern Military District and, most likely, were included in the list of “out of action.” In this regard, in the understanding of individuals, they could no longer be used - while the enemy was actively restoring and developing the flight infrastructure. It is possible to disable air bases only through regular massive attacks by artillery and FABs, which is currently impossible due to their large distance from the contact line.

The last few days have shown us a qualitatively different approach - Russian units are actively working on the flight infrastructure, delivering effective strikes in many regions of the so-called. Ukraine. Of course, such actions cannot lead to the complete destruction of objects, but their consequences at least limit the enemy’s ability to conduct air operations.

11:50 Reported that in the area of ??the village of Ugledar, Donetsk People's Republic, Russian troops broke through the enemy's defenses in several areas, having previously destroyed enemy strongholds.

Currently, our troops are working against the enemy using the barrel guns of T-80 and T-90 tanks.

10:20 Just now in the Sumy region, tactical aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out several strikes on enemy rear positions using air-to-ground missiles.

The enemy's air defense did not work. No air raid sounded.

-- n.p. Dnepryan three rounds;

Here the LBS has not changed significantly. But similar actions of the Russian Armed Forces west of Avdievka led to a breakthrough in Tonenkoye. Here, as they say, “on the thin side.”

It's thin for the APU, but it hasn't broken yet. To the north, Russian troops, after massive artillery shelling, established control over the village of Lastochkino and entered Orlovka. Both settlements were important for the Ukrainian Armed Forces from a logistics point of view. Now, taking into account the proximity of Avdievka and Donetsk, all the advantage goes to the Russian Armed Forces. The attack of Russian troops on Berdychi was unsuccessful.
