Reached the "Dragon Teeth" near Verbov: in ISW told about the successes of the Armed Forces in Zaporozhye (maps)
Earlier, analysts claimed that Russian fortifications were "lighter" here because they were built less time. However, the Ukrainian command was still not involved in armored vehicles. The Institute of War Study explained what was going on on the front of the front 17 km from Tokmak. This is discussed in a fresh ISW report. Analysts substantiated their conclusions about the situation with the help of a video published by fighters of defense forces.
In particular, they found two sections of the front in the Melitopol direction, where they managed to break deeper into the line of defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Near the willow, Ukrainian soldiers went beyond the Dragon Teeth line, which were erected by the Russians to the northwest of the willow. On the ISW map there is a small bridgehead of about 2 square meters. km, near this settlement. It is there, according to ISW, now fights.
They also noted that the Armed Forces approached the area of the road, which heads from the willow to the sweet beam (sweet beam - 12 km from Tokmak). Here the line of defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is "not punched yet". The same situation is near the robot, confident researchers. The fighters overcame mine fields and "pyramids" and approached the next line, which stretches halfway to Novoprokopivka.
In order to succeed in the breakthrough, the Ukrainian command operates with infantry and artillery, stated in the report. Heavy armored vehicles have not yet been introduced. Therefore, they summarize, reserves for expanding the defense of the defense line have not yet been applied. If armored vehicles appear, it will mean "both the breakthrough of this Russian defense layer and an attempt to expand this break.
" Also, ISW researchers have explained that the Armed Forces forced the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to change the approach to mines. In particular, if it was considered to be sufficient to change the areas with a depth of 120 meters, now it was expanded to 500 m. In addition, they put two anti -tank mines in one place so that they are "more effective".
On the eve of analysts, they indicated that the defense fighters were able to overcome the defense line of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which they bought 60% of the occupation time. On the basis of this, it was assumed that the "lighter" plots were ahead. However, in a comment on the air of the All -Ukrainian TEMRAFON, the spokesman of Tavriya explained that the labyrinth of trenches and mine fields was ahead. Therefore, it is impossible to say that these areas are "lighter".
It should be noted that in the extreme report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, it was stated that the enemy fired at 20 settlements near the front line in Zaporozhye. However, the forces of defense continue the offensive in the Melitopol direction: "fixed on the reached boundaries. " We remind you that on the night of September 4 to September 5, unknown drones were noticed again near Moscow.
