"Russian occupation troops now under Avdiivka are similar to Bakhmut, and as they have lost a considerable amount of equipment, have switched to the prevailing use of infantry. But, Avdiivka, despite the fact that it is a fundamental fortress, has a number of vulnerability with Bakhmut, "the expert reports. He explains that in Avdiivka only one logistics artery west of the city - 0542.
There are several soil roads, which in the case of deterioration of weather will be difficult and are not the main arteries of supply. In Bakhmut, even when the fighting was rolled to the right of the railway, there was control over two highways 0506 and 0504 and primers between them.
"In Avdiivka 0542, it is a logistics in a zone of high risk, and the main one, the defense is complicated Avdiivka has already surpassed the coal and Bakhmut by the amount of live strength and equipment in less than three weeks, ”Kovalenko says.
Oleksandr Kovalenko added that at the assault of Avdiivka, the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was thrown into the battle of "everything is", which is at least 3 all -military armies in a small town, with an area of less than 30 square kilometers and a front of about 30 kilometers. "As of now, the pressure on Avdiivka, the amount per unit area/length of the front, many times over what we saw with you a year ago and within 10 months day after day, under Bakhmut.
Similarly with the losses suffered by Russian occupation troops, It is simply a non-stop disposal. But it is necessary to be realist and understand that any defense can be, with time, but to break through. Similarly, any fortress-district, later, but breaks, "-said a military expert.
The expert suggests that only the human resource will not be able to realize the environment of Avdiivka, because not only the area of the city itself should be taken into account, but also the closure from the north and south.
"In essence, Avdiivka turns into a tremendous shame for moles, even greater than Bakhmut, and if any other commander would stop this fact, so as not to worsen their situation and not spend thousands and tens of thousands of lives of their soldiers, for Russian command. The incentive to continue the meat grinder to prove that they can, " - wrote Alexander Kovalev. In his opinion, the next 3 weeks will become decisive in the battles for Avdiivka.
