On October 1, The Russian Ministry of Defense Communiqué stated that the Russian army withdrew from the Chonglimann to form a new line of defense to block the attack of the Ukrainian army... Such a brief communiqué actually made our CCTV military column release a news, which shows that the Russian army's retreat is a great achievement and is a battle-level failure.
So where is the bonus man? From the picture above, it borders Kharkov Oblast (orange circle) to the east of Ukraine, to the junction of Kharkov Oblast (orange circle). The strategic position is very important. It can be said to be the gateway to the newly independent Donetsk Oblast. The Russian army retreated from here and made the newly independent Donetsk Donetsk very embarrassed. The Ukrainian army can advance quickly from here. The Russian troops retreating towards Tolsk were captured by the drone from the Gerberich River Highway Bridge, and the Russian ace troops guarding Hongliman were guarding Hongliman.
1 The Russian military officially confirmed that Hongliman's defenders "evacuated to a new line of defense." This means that the outcome of the Battle of Wind Man has been settled. At present, the Ukrainian army has occupied the key points between Kirovsik, which the Russian army has been holding on to before.
According to the Ukrainian army, the remaining Russian troops in the encirclement are being cleared. That is, although the Russian 58th Army still supports many Russian troops in the encirclement, Ukrainian side claims that there are thousands of people, and the losses of the Russian army in the battle of HKD are still difficult to determine.
According to various news, most of the Russian troops guarding Hongliman should have broken through the Ukrainian army from Kirovsik on the 1st and this morning. The technical equipment and supplies naturally suffered heavy losses, and casualties would never be small. This tenacious force, mostly composed of elite Russian troops and Donetsk veterans, has lost its combat effectiveness. In the picture, the boss Man is in the protruding part, and the two blue arrows are the Ukrainian army attacking from both wings, in order to avoid the Russian army's desperate breakthrough.
Of course, the Russian army's defensive operations under adverse conditions were tenacious and not futile. At least it has bought some time for the Russian army to organize a new defense line on the Swatov-Krimina-North Donetzk.
However, through the "Battle of Big Lisman", the Ukrainian army further verified its advantages in military strength/weapons, intelligence (provided by NATO ), morale and command system, further consolidating the strategic initiative it has grasped since the Kharkiv raid.
These jars were taken by drones on the front line of Kopani, Zaporoge Prefecture, reminiscent of whether they were mines and chemical jars.
It is very dense to overlook at high altitude. It seems that the Russian army is blocking the Ukrainian army's attack. But the problem is that Ukraine is entering early winter, the road is very muddy, and it is difficult for mechanized troops to advance. The Ukrainian army only launched a battalion-level infantry team to attack in hike. Such a defense line plays a very limited role.
This can basically be judged that the Russian army is unable to complete the replenishment of new viable troops and equipment in a short period of time, and is even less able to launch a powerful counterattack, and will continue to be in a strategic passive military.
The four states that have just been independent are the area that the Ukrainian army recaptured after the counterattack.
As for the new Svatov-Krimina-North Donetzk defense line, the Russian army may not be able to defend it. Because the length of this defense line has not been greatly reduced compared with the previous one, and there is no natural barrier or terrain advantage, this means that the density of troops used by the Russian army for defense cannot be increased, and the battlefield situation has taken a sharp turn in the past month because of too few troops; and the Ukrainian army has great potential in the battlefield, and can fully utilize its strategic initiative to mobilize the Russian army, find and create new defensive weaknesses of the Russian army, and replicate previous victory.
Some military fans will ask: Can the Russian army's lack of technical equipment be able to make up for its disadvantages?
The problem is that since the Ukrainian crisis, the Russian Aerospace Forces have not fully obtained air supremacy. What is more serious is that the number of ground support carried out by the Russian and Ukrainian air forces in the eastern Ukrainian region has remained equal.Russia's air superiority is rapidly losing, and without the air force advantage, this battle will be even more difficult to fight.
Because of the sudden loss of strategic initiative and war potential, the Russian army is far from being able to match the entire NATO, and the Russian army has fallen into a military dilemma similar to the Crimean War.
This dilemma cannot be solved by partial mobilization or even comprehensive mobilization a few days ago. Because simple manpower cannot make up for the gap in industrial production capacity! Otherwise, in the 21st century written on the calendar, many people believe that the Russian-Ukrainian war was a war of World War II technical standards. Most of the Russian army's equipment belonged to the 1960s or 1970s standards, and the degree of informatization was too low. Although the Ukrainian army also had such standards in general, it received support from NATO's informatization, and its battlefield perception, command and coordination... were much better than the Russian army.
Of course, Russia has the nuclear bomb as its trump card, and it is impossible for Ukraine to counterattack into the hinterland, but perhaps Russia will face an insulting ending like the Crimean War , and Alaska is also sold to the United States at a low price.
