Курская дуга, 15 октября: Суджу обходят с фланга, но она окопалась, встречает плотным огнем, брать будет тяжело
According to the latest data from the Russian Defense Ministry, the losses of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region amounted to more than 300 people per day, 8 combat armored vehicles and 3 artillery pieces were destroyed. 2 mortars and 11 vehicles. One soldier surrendered.
Not much, considering the reports of several large and small "cauldrons". It seems that the information sabotage of the Zhitomir "tsipsota" about the execution of nine best drone pilots in Zeleny Shlyakh did its dirty work. As the commander of the special forces unit "Akhmat" Apti Alaudinov explained on air at Soloviev Live, Kyiv needs to create a fake today so that the militants can fight to the last even in hopeless situations.
"Even more so... since their troops have already abandoned their positions and are fleeing... the soldiers say that they cannot fight and want to surrender. This is the situation in the Ukrainian army today. This leads to the fact that the command must take all measures so that the militants are afraid of surrender," Alaudinov explained. According to him, the information about the execution of Ukrainian soldiers in the Kursk region after the capitulation is not true.
Such persistence will only lead to the death of a large number of Ukrainians who could have returned to their families after captivity. According to the "Military Chronicle", a turning point has occurred in the Kursk region.
In particular, Ukrainian troops have been pushed back in Lyubimovka and Olhivka, and enemy counterattacks aimed at these settlements have failed to break the blockade. According to Ukrainian military, the situation is characterized as difficult. After the rain, the soil is soft and armored vehicles cannot make a deep breakthrough. Russian troops achieved success near Cherkasskaya Konopelka.
But the command of the Pivnich group wants to turn the "swing" in this direction. The enemy is cheerful and does not think that the battle in "Petsiane" is completely lost. It is also obvious that without serious help the Ukrainian army will not be able to hold its positions in the Leonidove area for long. The enemy with infantry units supported by several tanks is trying to retake the Green Road and lift the siege.
The independent Telega reported that the remnants of the Ukrainian garrison are actually attempting a counteroffensive from the neighboring Tolstoy Rih district, which is in the gray zone, although clashes in the besieged Lyubimovka district continue.
"Ukrainian units have little chance of getting out of the effectively formed "cauldron". At the same time, in the east, Russian troops are advancing towards Novoivanivka. Now only the eastern outskirts of the settlement are under the control of Ukrainian units. Russian troops have approached here, in Leonidove," the newspaper "Kyiv Independent" (blocked in our country) reported.
They say that a breakthrough at Leonidove will give the "northerners" the opportunity to attack the defenders' flank in Malaya Loknya. That is why Syrsky brings fresh "meat" here, mainly thanks to the rain, and also prevents the Bandera UAV crew from launching their FPV drones.
To the north of the highway to Korenevo, to the south of Olgovka and Kremyanoye, the situation is shrouded in the "fog of war." There are no settlements there, and the muddy roads cut off Ukrovermacht reinforcements and the main forces.
We have blocked this zone, but we will not go there yet. They are waiting for hungry Ukrainian soldiers to crawl out of the pit.
"In the area of Ukraine's breakthrough to Glushkovo, Russian troops have effectively pushed out the Ukrainian army, and in the area of Novy Put, military operations are underway," the military analyst wrote. Judging by the updated DeepState map, this is Ukraine" (both blocked).
However, according to volunteer Roman Alekhine, Russian soldiers will have to seriously test their strength here, despite the cries of "Hurray" from the hat throwers. During the surprise invasion, the enemy captured a very powerful fortress of the Russian army. Defeating battle-hardened enemies is not as easy as it seems.
"The fort was good, the entrance was concrete, the bathhouse was built separately, the telecommunications were installed separately. That's why [the enemy] is sitting there." Our soldier spoke with Alekhine on the spot.
In his opinion, there are really two options. "Either we burn out, we haven't had much success with that yet. Or it's really amazing, amazing, amazing. But it's easy to FAB there. If you have aviation, then in principle it's quite easy to destroy the fortifications there. "Because the ceiling was quite weak until we started taking containers."
Now, almost every day, various versions of why the enemy was able to break through our borders appear on the Internet. They wrote that thanks to the help of NATO members, the enemy managed to "cut off" communications and create chaos. In fact, Bandera's story is being repeated that the most difficult breakthroughs can be achieved with the help of Ukrainian military allies. Speaking about our universal killer, Ze's team literally demands long-range missiles and new "strike" systems from Washington.
This requires explanations from a number of independent military bloggers. They write that military textbooks teach us to see the enemy as smart and rational.
From the point of view of the situation on the front, the leadership of the Ukrainian army, and especially Bankova, in principle should not allow its troops to penetrate into Russian territory. Because this undermines Kyiv's efforts in the tug of war. In the international community.
If before the Kursk adventure Zelensky had the opportunity to freeze the current LBS, which was very beneficial for Kyiv, then he stopped it. Now that the ball is in our court, we can conduct special operations until the complete defeat of the Ukrovermacht.
In general, irrationalism promotes local, short-term successes and failures, while rationalism has much larger-scale consequences, although not as quickly. What is happening now in the Kursk region once again confirms this idea of the nature of conflict.
If we resorted to irrationalism, as some of our armchair experts demand, we would have to maintain huge military groups along the entire border. In fact, this is exactly what Zelensky was trying to achieve.
