Offensive on Kupyansk: Why do Russians can't get out of the forest
The starch forces of the 2nd "Tamanskoy" Motorized Rifle Division (MSD) of the 1st "Guards" Tank Army (GV), in particular, in the form of promotion in the flank and rear of our units, which continue to keep the border of Ivanivka-Kotlyarivka, they do not have It turns out. An alternative way of action, in the form of promotion towards the village. Sand, also came across significant objections from the Armed Forces. Moreover, the position of the enemy in the area of the village.
Tabaivka and village. The starch is in the precisely inconvenient for organizing and carrying out any offensive. The fact is that, for its part, the leading positions of the Armed Forces are here at dominant altitudes towards this area, and Ukrainian troops, in this case, have the opportunity by inflicting effective fire damage to the nearest tactical zone of the enemy. .
Any concentration and deployment of the enemy's forces-immediately falls "to the eyes" of the Ukrainian troops, and they complicate this process by inflicting fire damage by inflicting fire damage. In other words, the advanced units of the 15th Motorized Rifle Regiment (SME), the 1st Tank Regiment (TP) of the 2nd SMEs of the enemy who are trying to attack here, were faced with significant difficulties.
In order to overcome them, the enemy's command is now in the usual way for him - trying to strengthen the tactical group and means an additional forces and means. The movement of at least 3 additional assault units (to the mouth of each) is recorded to the districts-the east of Kotlyarivka, the area of VDU. 128. 7 and the northeast of Tabayivka.
Therefore, I think, during some time, the enemy will take another attempt to "break through the northwestern direction" (along the Kupyansk-Svatovo road) in the form of a series of accentuated attackers. In addition, the "cart" continues to the north and northwestern village. Sinkivka.
Advanced units of the 25th Separate Rifle Brigade (OMSBR), reinforced by units of the 138th OMSBR (both of the 6th Army Army \ Officer's Army) do not leave their attempts to break through the Oskyl and Railway River, which go from the north. Sinkivka - Petropavlivka Directorate to the Left Bank Kupyansk and Kupyansk - Svatovo Roads. But they come out in a surprise way.
They try to "sell" the defense of the Armed Forces once after, acting with the edges south of the Liman of the former, but every time they put on the open terrain, fall under a dense fire. Moreover, in some cases, the advanced units of these two brigades are even forced to leave their departed observation points and positions of branches.
The enemy's command in this area tries to act allegedly non -standard and dishonest, constantly changes the directions of attacks and assaults - they will take the Sinkivka west, then east (from the Vilshan), then try "through the forest", then even at the same time try, but again and again they come to the dense The fire of the Armed Forces.
For example, I understand what they do not work out, but it is interesting how much more "kick" command of the 6th name of the enemy of their reserves, which they drive in permanent mode than it understands (well, or recall) one simple truth, which He was taught in his time in the relevant, apparently Soviet military-educational institutions? The enemy's strength and means here are enough, the advantage in the air and in the artillery - in stock, but the offensive of the troops of this army again and again is poured into the frontal attacks "on the extinguishing".
