Day 780
A lot of updates have been made present from the Liman direction
At this point, Russian forces turned the attack axis towards Terna into 1 of the hottest areas in this direction.
There has been more information in fresh days, which allows us to draw a clearer image of developments in this area in fresh weeks.
Terny is 1 of the key settlements in this area that would let Russian forces to cross the river Żrebiec, attempting to attack the strategically crucial city of Liman.
Yesterday, an open origin geolocation organization reported that geolocation recordings and satellite images indicate that Russian forces have lost – most likely both immobilized and destroyed – 102 to 107 armored vehicles in the last 4 months close Terna herself
Estimates include twenty-six vehicles in January, twenty-four in February and thirty-six in March.
Recently published films show an extended vehicle cemetery on which dozens of wrecks of all kinds of vehicles, trucks, tanks and armored infantry vehicles are piled.
The location of the wreckage of Russian armoured vehicles on the map suggests that Russian forces attempted to mechanized attacks along 2 parallel axes, utilizing existing roads between the 2 groves to unload the infantry on those tree lines where they could dig and establish points of attack on Ukrainian forces inside Terna.
A clear increase in the number and size of attacks indicates that Russian forces have given decisive precedence to this direction and this peculiar attack axis since the beginning of the year
However, repeatability of vectors and tactics led to specified advanced losses.
In addition to primitive and repetitive tactics, there is simply a set of reasons for Russian defeat
Firstly, in order to attack Terny, the Russians were forced to usage overloaded supply lines, making it easier for Ukrainians to weaken logistics in the area.
Secondly, the Russians were forced to penetrate open fields with a very tiny number of shielding areas, which combined with higher Ukrainian reconnaissance capabilities enabled the detection of Russian attacks at a very early stage.
Thirdly, as we have late discussed, Russian forces have not demonstrated adequate improvement in radio-electronic combat capabilities, and their most visible attempts have led to full disasters.
Finally, the fact that the Russians had to go along very narrow lines, especially on the last approach, made it easier for Ukrainians to concentrate fire from drones.
The collapse of the Ternami offensive fundamentally marks the end of the Russian winter-spring offensive in this region, as spring rains are inevitable and will begin very quickly.
The muddy area will completely prevent mechanised maneuvering.
Moreover, the Russian offensive not only broke down, but late published geolocalized recordings indicate that Ukrainian forces took the initiative and began a powerful counterattack along both dense strips of trees, destroying the degraded and exhausted remnants of Russian forces.
The counterattack was besides supported by Ukrainian flank attack from hills north of Russian positions in forest lines, which ended with the withdrawal of respective kilometres east.
Geolocated images show intense usage of drones in respective areas and tree lines close Terna.
Another grove area located about six kilometers from the city was heavy shelled by Ukrainian artillery, which gives us an thought of how far the Russians were forced to retreat.
Although Russian forces tried to exploit Ukrainian material shortages, their efforts yet went to waste
Worse for the Russians, Russian forces seemed to take a very risky maneuver of infantry attacks, which besides led to very advanced losses in humans.
Recently published photographs show a tank carrying a group of 24 infantry soldiers on board.
The thought of this maneuver is, on the 1 hand, the anticipation of breaking through a more complex area and conducting a fast infantry landing.
However, even Russian military analysts openly criticized the usage of this maneuver due to the apparent vulnerability of soldiers to the fire of Ukrainian drones.
Interestingly, another Russian military analyst, however, stated that this maneuver is more related to the shortage of armoured infantry vehicles in any areas of the front line due to the large number of losses made by Ukrainian forces.
