Will not succeed: ISW analysts explained the great losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation near Avdiivka (map)

According to experts, since October 10, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were able to capture only 4. 52 square kilometers from different directions around Avdiivka. ISW also doubts that the Russian army will be able to surround the Armed Forces garrison in the city. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began a large -scale and long offensive on Avdiivka in Donetsk region. Attacks occur simultaneously from several directions using armored groups.

This was reported by analysts of the Institute of War Study (ISW). The new report of October 12 states that the occupiers use a significant amount of armored vehicles and aviation. Despite this, in two days the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation could not achieve any significant breakthroughs. Most likely, they will not be able to surround the group of defense forces of Ukraine in Avdiivka itself.

Analysts have stated that since October 10, the total Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were able to capture only 4. 52 square kilometers from different directions around Avdiivka. Currently, Russian troops are at a distance of 3. 32 kilometers from the ground communication line of the Armed Forces O0562 from the south and at a distance of 5. 52 kilometers north of Avdiivka. According to experts, the Russians lost a large number of armored vehicles in their offensive operations.

Analysts have suggested that this may be due to the fact that the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not produce lessons from the previous offensive under the coledar in February 2023. Then the invaders tried to step down columns. We will remind that the media reported that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost to the battalion of military equipment in 48 hours.
