On the frontline, video shows intense fighting as seen from a Ukrainian trench as indirect fire crashes down nearby in the Kremina forest. Photos show one Bradley having been completely destroyed in the fighting, though its crew reportedly survived despite the damage.
QUICK FLOOD BARRIER SERIES
Russian drone footage on the Zaporizhzhia Oblast frontline shows what could possibly be Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley-ODS destroyed in an attack.īradleys are becoming a routine sight among the Ukrainian forces fighting in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, as a series of pictures show below. On the Zaporizhzhia Frontline, Ukrainian forces are fighting for the village of Pyatykhatky, with Kyiv’s troops there advancing toward the city of Vasylivka. Fighting reportedly continues as Ukrainian troops press attacks around Vuhledar. The Institute for the Study of War ( reported Ukrainian attacks on three sectors of the front in its most recent control-of-terrain assessment. This assessment mirrors The War Zone's highly-circulated analysis on Russia's use of attack helicopters to blunt Kyiv's counteroffensive that we published earlier this week.
QUICK FLOOD BARRIER UPDATE
Saturday’s intelligence update from the British Ministry of Defense assessed Russia has “gained a temporary advantage in southern Ukraine” thanks to attack helicopter operations. Furthermore, Russian forces in Zaporizzhia Oblast would have to account for a massive left flank should more crossings occur upriver.īefore we head into the latest from Ukraine, The War Zone readers can catch up on our previous rolling coverage here. If Ukrainian forces are in fact trying to cross at Nova Kakhovka, Russia would face its most direct threat to its positions in Kherson Oblast and occupied Crimea since troops withdrew from the Dnipro’s right bank last fall.
However, Rybar said that “a landing scenario upstream is much more likely - right there, yes, the entire section from the Kakhovka reservoir to the dilapidated dam is potentially dangerous.” The likelihood of a landing operation downstream from the Kahkovka hydroelectric power station is small: after flooding, you need to wait until the soil is in order, and during this time the Russian Armed Forces will have time to restore positions.”
“Casts of sabotage and reconnaissance groups are just attempts to keep Russian troops on their toes. In the afternoon, residential buildings in Dnepryan came under shelling - a one-and-a-half-year-old child died. “About 30 shells were fired at Nova Kakhovka, Tavriysk, Kakhovka and Vasilievka. “Ukrainian formations continue artillery preparation along the left bank of the Dnipro River,” the Rybar Telegram channel reported Thursday. While surging water inundated lands below the dam, the reservoir above it fell to a much lower level, literally draining what had been a massive natural barrier. Once again, these reports are unconfirmed, but they do point to the possibility that the massive changes to the landscape could work, at least partially, in Ukraine's favor.Įarlier this week, the Russian-affiliated Rybar Telegram channel began warning of a Ukrainian attempt to cross the Dnipro River upstream of the destroyed dam.
