During this time, thousands of units of hostile technology and tens of thousands of invaders were destroyed. Focus gathered the main victories of the Ukrainian army in the war with the enemy, which exceeds force and means. Since the beginning of the invasion, Russian troops have attacked the northern regions of Ukraine to occupy Kyiv. The recent material of The Washington Post wrote that American intelligence knew about the Kremlin's plans in the fall.
The aggressor planned to seize the Ukrainian capital in two to three days. The US did not think that Kyiv would fall so quickly, but at the same time expected that the occupation would happen. The Russian plans were prevented by Ukrainian defenders who launched Russian troops deep into the territory, and then began to cut their ways of supply, ambush and simply cover the enemy with fire. The Armed Forces demonstrated the ability and will to battles.
Russian troops, beaten and exhausted, began to leave the Kyiv and Chernihiv region on March 29 after the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. They called their actions in the Russian Federation "increasing mutual trust and creating conditions for negotiations. " The screen of this statement was the actions of the Armed Forces, which since March 23 took the ring Irpin, Bucha and Gostomel.
Even after the liberation of these cities, they realized that the enemy left more than a thousand killed peaceful people. The Ukrainian leadership stated that anyone who has committed military crimes will have to be responsible for their actions. There are no timing of such crimes. Ukraine creates an analogue of Israeli Mossad for punishment of Russian military criminals, and international experts are investigating in Bucha and other cities.
Defense of the northern regions of Ukraine is a striking example of asymmetric tactics of fighting. The fighters avoided direct clashes with huge columns of Russian troops, cutting them into smaller groups, and methodically knocking them out. Thus, the forces of Ukraine's defense "have been" overlapped "the most capable parts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - landing and special forces.
This significantly increased the moral spirit in the country, and also showed Western partners that the Armed Forces will be able and beat the enemy. Trust in Ukraine gradually increased, the army began to receive Western weapons. During the war, the Ukrainian army was repeatedly surprised by experts and partners with unexpected blows. This also happened in the case of the destruction of the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Moscow rocket cruiser.
The first reports of the lesions of the ship began to appear in the evening, April 12, and the next day it became known that the ship was shot down by Ukrainian missiles "Neptune". They are capable of striking ships up to 280 km. In the Russian Defense Ministry, traditionally did not recognize the Armed Forces. They called the event on the ship, after which the detonation of the ship's ammunition began.
Despite the lack of official recognition of the missile strike on Moscow, personnel cleaning began in the Russian Federation. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet Admiral Igor Osipov was arrested for the loss of the ship. Only on August 17, the media began to report the new Navy commander, Victor Sokolov became Vesadmiral.
Exgrapher of Donetsk fighters Igor Strelkov (Girkin) stated that two Ukrainian missiles struck Moscow - one hit his nose and the other into the feed. As a result, the ignition of the BC tower of the 130mm AK-130 ship's artillery installation began. After that, the detonation of other ammunition began. For 2-3 hours the cruiser lies on the side and sinks. The destruction of the cruiser solved the hands of the Ukrainian army to accomplish the next task - the liberation of the island of Snake.
Since the beginning of May, reports of the Armed Forces on the island of Snakes began to appear in the media with the help of Baracar's drone. Russia has transferred to the island of the Air Defense "Assistant-C1", "Thor", jet installations of the Grad and Tornado-G volley fire. The occupiers provided the island with the help of ships, which also became the purposes of Ukrainian attacks.
The liberation of the island was attended by Ukrainian fighters of GUR, aviation, percussion UAVs, Harpoon missiles, which Ukraine received from partners and Bogdana partners and Himars. The Ukrainian military methodically destroyed Russian objects on the island, especially the operation lasted at the end of June. The strikes were made almost daily. On June 30, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation declared a "gesture of goodwill". The occupier's troops left the island of Snake.
After that, the Ukrainian intelligence officers raided the island and set Ukrainian flags there. Victory in the Battle of Snake Island allowed Ukraine to partially open ports and organize a grain corridor for export. In May, the troops of the Russian Federation tried to force the Seversky Donets in the Bigorivka area.
This moment went down in history as one of the successful operations of the Armed Forces, and one of the largest failures of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during the invasion. According to analysts, the army of the Russian Federation lost up to 100 units of equipment while trying to force the river. Ponton crossings became a grave for tanks, armored vehicles and personnel.
The New York Times stated that the forcing of the Seversky Donets has become one of the most fragile episodes of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost up to 500 personnel. The 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 41st Army Army suffered great losses. The whole thing was that the management of the Armed Forces knew about the intentions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and was prepared in advance for the forcing of the river.
Engineers analyzed potential places, the artillery was ready for the task, and the units monitored the potential sections of the river. At the right time, the Ukrainian military began to attack enemy forces. The beginning of August was marked by the fact that Russian troops began to explode in the occupied peninsula. The first such explosion occurred on August 9 at the Novofedorovka air base in the Saky district of Crimea.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, according to InformNapalm, lost: the total amount of losses is approximately $ 380 million. The following explosions occurred on August 16. In the area of Dzhankoy, which is actually a gate to the Crimea, gave the ammunition and technique of Russian troops. The network published a video that there were many different equipment near the railway - RSSU, armored vehicles and artillery.
Due to the explosions, the invaders evacuated about 3,000 locals, and the Russians began to leave the island massively. The invaders reported a record flow of cars through the Crimean bridge. It is still unknown how the Armed Forces attacked Russian objects. Experts and the media voice different options for how it happened-a blow to ATACMS, along with anti-radar AGM-88 HARM, sabotage of Ukrainian special operations, or even a rocket strike by the Ukrainian operative-tactical complex "Grimm".
However, it is not important here how they did, but that the Crimea is destroyed by the occupier's military objects. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called on the inhabitants of the peninsula and all occupied territories not to approach military facilities. According to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with The Washington Post, there is now a weapon in the Ukrainian army, which at the beginning of the invasion could not even be bought.
Initially, Ukraine was massively supplied with anti -tank weapons and grenade launchers, and assistance was limited to light weapons. However, with each new victory of the Armed Forces and increasing crimes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Ukraine began to receive more modern and powerful weapons. Anti -tank complexes followed MSrC and SMRC of a small radius. Then came the howitzers M777, which in the army are called "three axes", Caesar, PZH 2000, various armored vehicles and tanks.
Not to mention the equipment for soldiers - bulletproof vests, vending machines, grenades, helmets, first aid kits - all of which are received by the military from the Allies. Only modern tanks and aviation are not received from Western partners. Defense Minister Reznikov claims that he will achieve this, especially in the United States to allocate $ 100 million to training Ukrainian pilots to operate fighters such as F-15/F-16. They have more opportunities than any Ukrainian Su-27 or MiG-29.
The volume of assistance has not yet reached their peaks, as supplies for Land League are expected by the fall. At the same time, it can be stated that the Ukrainian army depends on the supply of partners. Artillery is transferred to 155 mm caliber, more common than Soviet calibers. Already in the first weeks of the invasion, it became clear that the Russian plans for the rapid capture of Ukraine were not destined to embody.
At first, they struck in the north of Ukraine, then tried to focus on the admiration of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and now they are trying to prevent Ukrainian counter -offensive in the south. In the first weeks of the Great War, the Russian military was captured with the ceremonial form. Also, the technique that falls into the hands of the Armed Forces was from a number of ceremonials - this means that the Kremlin did not count on resistance and long war.
The Ukrainian military managed to disrupt the basic plans of the Russian troops. Sometimes in Moscow the phrases that they "have not begun" have begun "or that" special operation "follows the plan. But it is increasingly clear that the overall occupation plan is not embodied, the war is turning into a protracted format. In the Russian Federation, the economy is transferred to military rails and conducting hidden mobilization.
Sanctions seriously violate the production processes in the Russian MIC, and the quality of mobilized is often much lower than in a regular army. In the video of Putin, in which he announced the "special operation", the President of the Russian Federation called the cause of the invasion - the liberation and protection of the ORDLO population. During the six months of the war, the Russian invaders failed to accomplish this task.
The occupier practically captured the Luhansk region, but at the cost of huge losses in technology and live power. Attempting to force the Seversky Donets is one of the striking examples of suicide operations of the enemy. The Luhansk region of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is practically captured, the fighting goes on the outskirts of the region, but now resistance has begun in the occupied territories.
Regularly reports of blasting buildings with invaders or attempts on collaborators. The battle for the Donetsk region is ongoing, the Russian troops did not capture any large city except Mariupol, which was transformed into a solid ruin. The occupiers are currently focusing on Bakhmut and Slavic, but they have no significant promotion, despite the statements of propagandists. Thanks to the Ukrainian army, the enemy cannot fulfill its main task in the invasion.
Slavyansk and Bakhmut are a fortress where the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can again get stuck in the bloody months. Thanks to HIMARS, the Armed Forces significantly slowed the promotion of enemy troops. One of the victories of Ukraine, which was not so actively covered in the media, is the disruption of the plans of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on landing in Odessa.
Due to the receipt of the Harpoon anti -ship missiles and the availability of Ukrainian Neptune, Russian landing ships left the shores of Odessa. There is a risk of rocket firing due to the presence of caliber ships in the sea, but in general the Ukrainian military was able to organize the defense of the coast. This is despite the fact that the Russian troops controlled the island of Snake, there were 6-7 large landing ships in the sea and was in the order of the Moscow cruiser.
The command managed to protect the important ports in the Black Sea. Due to this, Ukraine remains a naval state with fleet and missiles. The invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine showed that in fact, praised Russian technique is burning, breaking and destroying. Ukrainian defenders from the usual Carl Gustaf grenade launcher have destroyed the latest modification of the Russian T-90M Tank "Breakthrough", dozens of T-72B3.
In the war, the Russian command uses almost all types of weapons and equipment, nuclear weapons, Su-57 fighters were not used on the battlefield because of their extremely small number, "Armat" and other weapons. As Russian troops are testing the latest weapons in Ukraine, so the Armed Forces fighters are testing the latest Western weapons. Helicopters, planes, armored vehicles, BMD, BMP and all other armored vehicles with artillery and air defense products came under the sight.
In addition to land equipment, the Armed Forces also destroy the ships of the Black Sea Fleet, they do not hide in the General Staff that all fleet ships are the purpose of Ukraine. Raptor missile boats, the latest rescue vessel and many others were destroyed from the PTRC and drones. According to the General Staff, the Russian army has lost thousands of pieces of equipment.
