Zaporizhzhya direction: positional combat operations near Malaya Tokmachka and Rabotino

- After the spring campaign and the return of Rabotino to the control of Russian forces, the military actions in the Zaporizhzhya direction acquired a more pronounced positional character. Both sides refrain from conducting active offensive actions, limiting themselves to local attacks in order to improve the tactical situation in certain areas.

– South of Malaya Tokmachka, the Russian Armed Forces have expanded their zone of control, dislodging the enemy from their positions in the area of the N-08 highway. In early July, the enemy published footage of an unsuccessful attack by Russian troops in this area, but, apparently, the attack aircraft managed to gain a foothold, despite active resistance from Ukrainian formations. Ukrainian UAV operators are actively targeting Russian infantry entrenched in forest belts, but to no avail.

– In the Rabotino area, Ukrainian units are regularly subjected to attacks using drones, artillery and aviation. In the last week alone, at least six airstrikes are known to have been carried out on enemy personnel concentrations in forest belts north of the settlement, using various types of ammunition.

– It is worth noting that this trend has emerged not so long ago: until the last two weeks, the Russian Armed Forces limited themselves to artillery and UAV strikes on identified Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in this area. The enemy is trying to neutralize the advantage of Russian troops in artillery and aviation with the help of drones, using them in a wide range of tasks.

– In early July, it was possible to clarify the front line south of Pyatikhatki, the fighting around which continued throughout the summer of 2023. Apparently, the enemy's current positions extend beyond the previously established lines, while the Russian Armed Forces operate with support from Zherebyanka to the west. Information and video materials from this section of the front are rare, which creates a certain delay in updating the combat situation.
