Day 793
Today, much is happening towards Avdijiwa
At this point, the Russians are trying to wing Ukrainian defence in the north while Ukrainians have taken countermeasures to weaken the Russian offensive.
On the northern flank of Awdijiwa, the Russians effort to simultaneously decision west and north.
The long-term strategical goal of the Russians in the north is to decision towards the Ukrainian city of Kostiantiniwka, connecting with their offensive operation close Chasiv-Jar.
The main thought of this operation is to take Ukrainian forces in fresh York and Toreck into his pocket
If we look at the topographical map, we will see that by attacking Kostiantiniwa from the south, the Russians must first take control of respective ridges of hills, all of which are under Ukrainian control.
The easternmost hills are the first crucial step for Russians, as they let Ukrainians to proceed to attack flanking any possible Russian offensive north
Accordingly, Ukrainians established many heavy fortified positions in the hills and in many settlements around fresh York City.
The Russians have not been able to break this Ukrainian defence since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
That's why the Russians are trying to bypass these fortifications, flanking Ukrainians from the west.
But before the Russians effort specified a large-scale flanking operation, they must first take control of the Ukrainian Novokalyn settlement.
Novokalynov has advanced tactical and operational value for both Russians and Ukrainians due to the fact that it is located at the origin of the Kalyniwka River, connecting both hills.
Consequently, it seriously threatens the Russian base in the north, forcing the Russians to delegate force to defend against possible Ukrainian counterattacks.
During the preparations of the Russian attack towards Ocheretine, Russian forces besides utilized artillery and FAB-500 glide bombs to bomb Ukrainian positions in Novokalynowo.
Ukrainians responded, conducting counter-battery operations utilizing artillery and kamikaze-FPV drones.
The recording published by the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade shows the demolition of 2 Russian Haubic D-30.
Another recording published by the 109th Territorial Defence Brigade shows how they attack and destruct 3 Russian MSTA-S self-propelled guns and a multi-guided Grad-21 rocket system.
Subsequent published geolocalised recordings besides show Ukrainians intercepting 1 Russian T-90M tank on their way to replenish supplies after an indirect fire mission.
This shows the effect of Ukrainian counter-battery operations, as the Russians were forced to usage their tanks as an artillery cannon to compensate for the destroyed artillery.
After intense Russian artillery and raids, Russian forces launched respective waves of attacks on the settlement.
Ukrainian sources study that the Russians attacked the settlement with groups of 5 to 6 soldiers at erstwhile to hold detection and supply a smaller mark for Ukrainian artillery.
This enabled the Russians to rapidly take control of the dairy farm and decision forward along many tree lines around the settlement.
Geolocalized movie material shows that the fighting in this place was very intense.
One of the recordings shows Ukrainian cluster ammunition hitting Russian assault groups in the forest, while Russian FAB glide bombs hit Ukrainian positions further on the line.
To halt the Russian attack, Ukrainian forces rapidly conducted counterattacks on Russian assault groups and began destroying them with FPV kamikaze drones.
Ukrainian drone operators have made available geo-localized recordings on which Russian assault groups attack the dairy farm as well as occupied houses on the outskirts of the settlement.
Ukrainian soldiers of the 47th Mechanized Brigade besides made available footage of counterattacks utilizing combat infantry wagons Bradley east of the settlement.
The video shows how Ukrainian Bradley first approaches Russian positions in the tree line
Bradley then leads the suppression fire while the Ukrainian assault group descends, entering the trenches clears it.
Ukrainian soldiers besides made available footage from another counterattack south of the settlement
