Day 802.
Today there have been many updates from the Bakhmut direction
The most intense clashes took place south of Ivanavian, where Ukrainians conducted a series of counterattacks to disrupt Russian offensive actions and relieve their troops
According to both Russian and Ukrainian sources, the attacks were successful, and later Ukrainian soldiers from the 92nd Storm Brigade published a movie footage showing the operation itself.
To accomplish this goal, Ukrainians had to carry out extended suppression of Russian shooting positions with FPV drones.
As we know, Ukrainians experience a severe shortage of artillery missiles, which is why they sharpen raids with various kamikaze drone attacks.
Thanks to the effective operation of Ukrainian drone units Signum and Black Raven along the confederate flank, The Ukrainians managed to repel all Russian attacks.
The activity of FPV drones was so large that all Russian troops hid in ground level or basements in sediment along the contact line.
All Russian troops or equipment exposed outside were rapidly detected and destroyed before reaching the contact line.
In many food fires we could see the demolition of 4 supply trucks, a combat infantry car BMP-2, BMD-4 and many infantry groups.
The Ukrainians full realised the advantages of a wide usage of FPV drones, which allowed them to regain their initiative and conduct a counterattack.
Ukrainians decided to concentrate kamikaze drones on Russian positions between Ivanavian and Klischevka.
Thus Russian reinforcements in the area were destroyed, depriving Russian ammunition and supplies of force.
The footage shows a column of at least 7 combat infantry wagons destroyed only close this trench.
In the same video we see that after Ukrainian drone operators effectively prevented Russian reinforcements from reaching the contact line, a tiny group of 2 soldiers from the 92nd Assault Brigade were sent forward.
Two Ukrainian soldiers entered the trench and encountered virtually no organized resistance
Therefore, they cleared the trench and secured fresh tactical positions.
They searched the full trench and finished off respective Russian soldiers hiding in the grounders with short weapons and grenades.
However, the available footage shows only a fraction of the larger operation that pushed the Russians by over 500 metres.
Ukrainians had already detected that the Russian defence at this site was weaker than the remainder of the confederate flank.
This defence extended along 2 tree lines on open fields close the dirt road that supplied Ivanivskie.
In the first phase of operation, Ukrainians had to attack much stronger Russian positions, which were weakened by concentrated drone attacks.
After breaking the main line of defense, there was chaos among the Russian forces, which began fleeing to the rear or hiding from drones in the ground.
At this time, the main Ukrainian forces consolidated their positions, and most of the fighting had already ended erstwhile 2 Ukrainian stormers carried out cleaning operations.
The recently acquired positions are besides of advanced tactical value as they let Ukrainians to establish an operational base for artillery teams and drone operators.
This is beneficial for Ukrainians, as it places drone operators closer to the main Russian supply road to Ivanivsk, just a kilometer from the tactical base.
This is beneficial for the Ukrainians, due to the fact that the narrow throat, through which Russian forces must pass to get to their cape, is much tighter.
Moreover, as you can see, close ground roads have become useless as a consequence of counterattack due to the proximity of Ukrainian positions, so the full Russian movement has been restricted to just a fewer streets that Ukrainians can easy monitor.
It threatens the Russian offensive south of Chasiv Yar, for which this village is an crucial parking place
Furthermore, Ukrainians besides managed to disable Russian forces on this front section to prevent further possible breach.
The relocation of additional troops to fill the gap close the tactical bay will in turn reduce the strength of Russian attacks on Chasiv Jar.
Ukrainians besides managed to deploy additional meals in the city, which contributed to further stabilisation of this section of the front.
