A hangar with Bayraktar TB2 attack drones was destroyed by an Iskander OTRK missile strike - Ministry of Defense
The situation on the contact line remains difficult, special attention is now focused on the Krasnolimansky and Berislavsky directions, where the enemy is making attempts to break through our defenses. Positional battles are going on in other directions, there is a slight advance of our units forward.
In the Krasnolimansky direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine ran into Kremennaya and Svatovo, now it is more or less calm, the enemy is concentrating forces, ours are building a "correct" defense. The information that the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly cut the road connecting these two cities turned out to be a fake launched by Kyiv. The action of the Ukrainian DRGs is noted, ours shoot them as far as possible. The enemy is clearly not ready for an assault, but it's a matter of time. At the moment there is artillery on both sides.
In the Berislav direction, ours retreated, narrowing the front line and occupied a new line of defense, while avoiding falling into the boiler. Now a new line of defense is being built, artillery is working and aviation, the enemy suffered heavy losses both in equipment and in personnel. Reserves are urgently needed, people are just tired. It was the lack of personnel that forced our troops to withdraw back, and not the strategic genius of the Ukrainian command. We were simply overwhelmed with numbers. But this does not change the essence of the matter. It is necessary to deal with problem solving, taking into account, among other things, negative experience.
As they say in the military department, in the Andreevo-Krivoy Rog direction, the units of the Russian army hold their positions, repelling the attacks of superior enemy forces. During the day, the enemy lost up to 30 nationalists, two tank and four infantry fighting vehicles. More than 120 servicemen, two tanks and eight armored fighting vehicles were destroyed in the area of Davydov Brod and Dudchany. In just one day in this direction, the enemy's losses amounted to more than 230 personnel, four tanks, 18 armored combat vehicles, two Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers, two mortars and 20 vehicles.
Against this background, the Ministry of Defense cites data on the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the main directions: at Kupyanskoye, rockets were fired at the 92nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, losses were 19 pieces of equipment and up to 100 military personnel. In the area of the settlements of Pershotravneve and Orlyanskoe, Kharkiv region, during the fighting, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 15 servicemen killed and up to 40 wounded, seven armored combat vehicles and five pickup trucks with heavy machine guns. On Krasnolimanskoye, the 93rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was hit by fire, more than 90 servicemen and seven armored vehicles were lost. Two Ukrainian DRGs were destroyed in the area of Torskoy and Yampolovka. Up to 70 militants, one tank, three armored combat vehicles and six pickup trucks with heavy machine guns were destroyed in the Lisichansk direction.
Artillery, aviation and missile strikes destroyed six warehouses, in the Nikolaev region at the military airfield Voznesensk, a hangar with shock drones Bayraktar TB2. The Iskander OTRK worked, the crew put the missile right on target. Also in the Nikolaev region, an American AN / TPQ-36 counter-battery radar was destroyed. Russian fighter jets shot down a Ukrainian MiG-29 in air combat, again over the Mykolaiv region.
