On the first day of 2023, the Ukrainian army treated the Russian army as a soft persimmon, which was very ominous for the Russian army.
This time the Ukrainian intelligence agency discovered two important Russian military strongholds in Donetsk Oblast. One Himax ran hundreds of kilometers in one night, and hit two Russian military bases with two salvos.
The Russian Ministry of Defense deliberately downplayed the number of casualties. It only admitted that 63 people died and did not deny that it was attacked by the Ukrainian army.
Russian media close to Wagner reported: "The military camp buildings were completely destroyed. We don't want to say that 500 to 600 people were killed. This is enemy propaganda, but the losses were "huge and heavy."
One of the Wagner mercenary barracks in Pervomaisk, 25 kilometers east of Bakhmut, killed more than 70 people.
Prigozin, the boss of Vagra who happened to be here, personally escorted a truckload of corpses to the morgue. Large trucks continued to transport dead soldiers from the Russian army and the Wagner Group. Seeing the black body bags being continuously transported into the room, Prigozin said sadly: "The contract is over, let all the brothers go home. "
Wagner mercenaries are a force that Russia relies on very much. This elite team has strong combat effectiveness and rich combat experience. With their desperate ferocity, these mercenaries even overshadowed the regular army, but they also attracted the attention of the Ukrainian army. Strike. Their equipment level is no less than that of the regular army. In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, these mercenaries were also famous.
Ukrainian intelligence was very accurate. In addition to the serious infiltration of Ukrainian agents, NATO intelligence support also helped a lot. In the early morning of New Year's Day, the Ukrainian army "Haimas" also bombed Donets. The Html Vocational and Technical School in Makeyevka City, Krösk Oblast caused hundreds of casualties among the Russian mobilization troops stationed in the school.
Moreover, the Seamaster rocket launcher uses a new type of ammunition, which is the M30A1 rocket, which can be called a small cluster bomb . What are the characteristics of this new rocket ? Simply put, it is a large-area soft-kill munition, similar to a cluster bomb.
.18 million tungsten alloy bullets Pill, the killing area can reach 200,000 square meters. A powerful weapon against clusters of infantry, vehicles and lightly armored targets. During the near-ground air explosion, these large numbers of steel balls are shot into an area with a radius of about 200 meters, and exposed personnel in this area will suffer a large number of casualties.
Although the Russian army generally has the upper hand, they fought this battle very hard because Ukraine was not as vulnerable as imagined. With the support of the United States and other Western countries, Ukraine is obviously confident, and the help provided by the United States is not limited to weapons and equipment, but also includes intelligence information.
This is why, the Russian army has ht With the advantages of ml2 air superiority, , armor advantage and 10 times artillery fire advantage, the Ukrainian army's light armored vehicles and pickup truck quick reaction forces can always find the weak links of the Russian army and carry out accurate artillery fire to crush the Russian offensive. The targets of Russia's military operations are all under surveillance.
In addition to the importance of weapons and other hardware equipment in modern warfare, the intelligence system is also an indispensable part. To a large extent, the final victory or defeat depends on the intelligence system. But it is obvious that compared to Ukraine or the United States behind them, Russia's capabilities in this area are insufficient, so that the Russian troops on the front line are now hampered everywhere and have suffered heavy losses.
