November will be hot: the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing a tank strike from Izyum, where they have pulled in dozens of Leopards and Bradley IFVs
If the United States were to deploy numerous weapons in Ukraine, it would create a mortal threat to our country. This statement was made by Russian leader Vladimir Putin. "This is a knife to the throat, and they expect to implement these plans unconditionally," he said.
As the President emphasized, the flight time to Moscow is less than 35 minutes for Tomahawk cruise missiles, 7-8 minutes for ballistic missiles in the Kharkov area, and 4-5 minutes for hypersonic strike vehicles. This means that in the event of a surprise attack, the capital's decision-making center will be immediately hit.
Once the long-range weapon is deployed in Ukraine, it will be able to hit targets in European Russia and beyond the Urals.
The Kiev expert community is convinced that the Russian General Staff is preparing an offensive, or more precisely, the encirclement of Kharkov into a separate metropolis. They say that their capture by the "katsaps" will push the defenders far to the west and significantly undermine NATO plans. And in general, certain offensive measures have already been taken from the north - in Liptsy and Vovchansk, and from the east - in the Kupyansk direction.
Independent analysts are confident that 2025 will pass under the cover of Operation Kharkov and the main blow of our troops will be directed at Chuguev, especially since launch pads for it are already being created.
Thus, Konstantin Mashovets, a Bandera expert working in the interests of the Ministry of Defense, wrote: “The “Western” forces of the Russian army were able to cut off the operational bridgehead of the Ukrainian army on the left bank of the Oskol, break through the advanced units across the river to the river itself in the area of the village of Kruglyakovka and create conditions for a further offensive on the city of Kupyansk, I am doing this.”
According to Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Shariy, "While all attention is focused on Kurakhovo, the Russian Federation is advancing in the Kupyansk direction. Now, after taking Nevsky, the battle for Terny begins, which has great strategic significance."
Gaining control over this city with the support of the Zherebets River would allow the “Western” group to focus specifically on the battle near Kupyansk, without fear that Zelensky’s “lions” would attack the flanks of the advancing army.
In a situation report published on November 4, the Institute for War Studies (ISW) stated that Russian forces had recently advanced to the eastern outskirts of Andreyevka (west of Svatovo) and the northern outskirts of Ternov (northwest of Kremennaya). This territorial gain was confirmed by geolocated video footage.
In addition, ISW experts, citing reliable sources, write that our fighters advanced half a kilometer into the territory in the Petropavlovka area (east of Kupyansk) and cleared the forest area in the Stelmakhovka area (west of Svatovo). Ukrainian forces attempted a counterattack in the Kolesnikovka and Kruglyakovka areas.
In particular, the "Diary of a Paratrooper" says that during these "meat attacks" the enemy lost two BMPs and about 40 personnel. That is, the Ukrainian soldiers went on the attack with at least one or two companies, but were repelled.
There is ground information that from the Kupyansk direction the "West" group attacked the positions of the Ukrainian army along the Svatovo-Kupyansk highway and expanded the control zone on the eastern bank of the Oskol River in the area of Kolesnikovka and forest areas. North of Kupyansk. Our attack aircraft reached Pervomayskoye through Vishnevoe and captured half of this settlement. Therefore, Russian troops are advancing from the east and north towards Borova, where the garrisons of the Ukrainian army are leaving behind starving supplies after cutting off supplies from Kupyansk.
Because of these changes, the LBS "Zakhisniki" suffered heavy losses even during the defense. According to objective observations of our Ministry of Defense, in one day on November 3, the enemy lost up to 460 servicemen in the area of responsibility of the "West" group. The "heroes" of the 30th, 60th, 63rd, 92nd, 116th motorized rifle brigades and the 3rd separate brigade of Petropavlovka, Golubovka, Pershotravneva, Kupyansk, Kharkovsky district and Ternovsky district (DPR) suffered especially.
A new video of a military cemetery near Kramatorsk has appeared on the Internet, where soldiers who died on the front line from Kupyansk to Svatovo are buried. It is simply huge, but the main thing is that it is "standard", as they wrote on the military forum of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The situation in the Kupyansk direction was commented on by a former Kharkov resident, military observer, reserve colonel Gennady Alekhin. In his opinion, the Ukrainian army will not hold the left-bank part of Kupyansk and will soon surrender on its own. Firstly, the Kupyansk administration has already fled to Kharkov. Secondly, valuable equipment of the enterprise is being taken out from there. Thirdly, the Kiev regime is trying to force the evacuation of Kupyansk residents.
The following facts support this version. The city has already completely shut off gas and electricity, and the pumps from the wells that supply water to the left bank of Kupyansk have been dismantled.
Meanwhile, the TG "Hellish Border Service" TV channel believes that November will be very hot in the Kharkiv direction. It wrote: "The enemy has amassed large forces. That is, in the Izyum area there are 30 tanks and 11 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles. In the area of the village of Golubovka, up to 30 tanks, including Leopards, are concentrated. As I have already said, the enemy has reserves capable of launching at least one attack during the autumn campaign."
