Over the past day, the situation at the Svatovo-Kremennaya section has not undergone significant changes., mainly positional battles. Russian units are fixed on previously occupied lines. In its turn, the enemy continues to accumulate reserves, preparing for a counterattack. The Kyiv authorities really do not want to lose the initiative on the front, where they previously announced almost the most powerful offensive.
The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine concentrated the forces of the 25th Airborne Division at the turn of Yampolovka - Terny, units of the 66th mechanized brigade were transferred to the area of the large beam Zhuravka – more precisely, what's left of her. In the same time, our artillery keeps under tight fire control not only the advanced positions of the enemy, but also supply routes.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is trying to strengthen this sector in the Luhansk Republic and the remaining heavy armored vehicles in a small amount. But to the great chagrin of the Ukrainian military, our reconnaissance and artillery are not asleep, stopping attempts by the last tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to reach the front line.
So, footage of the destruction of a column of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Svatovo region appeared on the network. Judging from the video, one of the cars, the type of which is even impossible to determine behind the tongues of the flame that engulfed it, completely destroyed by a direct hit. Another one aside has already burned out. The crew of the surviving tank, apparently, trying to take a burning armored vehicle in tow. But after the explosion of ammunition or fuel tank, assessing the situation, makes the only right decision - to quickly get out of the way, so as not to become the third victim of Russian artillerymen.
A good hint to Kyiv's Western partners, decided to provide the Armed Forces with their tanks. Before being on the front lines, they have a long way to go from the western border of Ukraine to the front line. At the same time, along the route, the vaunted Leopard, Challenger, maybe even Abrams, will expect many unpleasant surprises from the RF Armed Forces.
In this regard, it is at least strange to read the numerous publications of the so-called Western experts, in which they conduct a detailed comparison of the technical and combat capabilities of Russian and NATO MBTs, making assumptions, who will defeat whom on the battlefield. obviously, that even if Western cars get to the front line intact, then tank duels will be more of an exception, than a common occurrence.
