Under the blows of the TOS-1A "Solntsepyok", the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost several infantry platoons while trying to regroup on the outskirts of Artyomovsk

Russian troops continue to advance in the Soledarsko-Artemovsk direction. Having taken the positions and heights of the enemy to the south and south-west of Artemovsk (Bakhmut), the RF Armed Forces are working to destroy enemy manpower on the outskirts of the city, and are also taking measures to prevent the transfer of large forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Artemovsk from Konstantinovka.

Retreating from the Kurdyumovka area to Klescheevka and Experienced, the Ukrainian units, thinned in numerical terms, tried to regroup on the outskirts of Artyomovsk in order to subsequently launch a counterattack. But at the time of such a regrouping of the militants, Russian heavy flamethrower systems worked out.

The use of TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" led to the destruction of several platoons of Ukrainian infantry, who tried to hide in the private sector, moving into the industrial zone.

The situation for the enemy is as follows:

operate in small groups that are impossible to counterattack, or try to form larger units, but at the same time risk being under fire from such systems that leave little chance of survival within a radius of hundreds of meters. The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to do the second, for which in the end they paid the price.

Now the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is trying to rely on the transfer of reinforcements to Artyomovsk in small detachments in order to carry out their unification already “in place”. In this regard, we can say that for the calculations of the "Suns" in the near future there may be additional work - to eliminate manpower in the identified places of its concentration, waiting for an attempt at this very concentration.

This is good news, it would be nice to start using FABs.

[Vladimir80]

It would be nice to attach wings to the fabs and make the planned bombs, but mo does not want and cannot do anything. They will be dishonored 10 times and show videos with "nurses from cabling"

[KCA]

In the UWB, an analogue of UPAB-100 costs 40k greens, S-13, it seems to me, for 40k you can rivet at least two hundred, which will be more effective, a volley of 20 SU-25 NAR-S-13 from a pitch-up, or one UPAB, if we are not talking about the defeat of a separate bunker, but about an attack on enemy fortifications in the square, or an attack on a column?

[Vladimir80]

1. in the USA everything is very expensive, because they can afford
2. I wonder how much such a modernization would cost in Russia
3. why launch a bunker from a helicopter or plane "in the direction of the enemy" if there are "grads" for this ???

[KCA]

1 Yes, of course, with UWB the price tag, taking into account the costs of "lobbying" is much higher, well, let it be twice
3 And if there is a question of efficiency, does Grad also move through the air? Is the attack position always in a flat field 100m from the highway? Spotted, or intelligence found out about the position, Grads, perhaps, to drag for a day, and raised the aircraft and good luck, after 10 minutes the attack
Well, for the 100500th time I am amazed, some graduate from a university, serve, graduate from the Academy, serve, complete refresher courses and, suddenly, one out of a hundred gets into the General Staff, and then he sat down at a computer, and is ready to decide on a national scale what is right , and what’s not right, go and tell Gerasimov and Popovkin that they don’t understand suckers and shit in person, just like that, throw facts and calculations at them

[Vladimir80]

ready to decide on a national scale what is right and what is wrong, so go and tell Gerasimov and Popovkin that they are suckers and don’t understand shit in person, just like that, throw facts and calculations at them

Yes, no one is ready to decide for them, you just need to remember a little history - all these "academicians" and "marshals" in every war got into a puddle both in the Russian-Japanese and in the 1st century. and the Great Patriotic...

[Shurik70]

The sunburst is a powerful weapon.
But it's too vulnerable.
A technique that is clearly visible from the air, forced to approach the enemy almost closely. Target number 1 for enemy artillery.
And when it starts to shoot, it is simply impossible not to notice it.
So yes, it is very desirable to increase the range, albeit at the expense of power.
It's ROCKETS!!!
Their range potential is huge (as the American Himars prove)
Moreover, there is no need to close the production of current missiles either - there are moments, such as, for example, when they surrounded Georgian mercenaries in order to beat them with one blow over the area, like cockroaches with a slipper.

9M55S for "Smerch" and "Tornado-S" has been around for a long time, 20 years, range 70 km

But there is no flamethrower ammunition for these systems.
Fragmentation, high-explosive, come in a cassette version. Yes, and the caliber 300 mm is expensive. Here is a bridge to undermine or a large warehouse to destroy - it will be just right.
Even the "Tornado-G", a variant of the Tornado in 122 mm caliber, 40 rails - no flamethrower ammunition.
A blow to the area with almost guaranteed destruction of the enemy is provided only by Sunfur. The rest have a chance to survive for many - at the first explosions, fall into a trench and pray.

[KCA]

9M55S is a NURS with a thermobaric warhead weighing 100kg, you will smoke the mat part

So what? And if there were amateurs in their place, the results would be better? I'm thinking much worse. I don't work for GS. But I know for sure from the areas in which I understand that the scourge of the second half of the 20th and early 21st centuries is militant amateurism. It is hardly different in military science. So, as my friend academician said don't help me, I'll make a mistake myself.

But seriously, all this screaming amateurism, and you, including from irresponsibility. After all, you are NOT responsible for your balabolstvo ABSOLUTELY nothing.

[didra]

And you remember how most people behave under their superiors and everything will fall into place. On the Internet, as in a smoking room, everyone has an opinion (and what a great one), but with the bosses, the majority have their tongues in the ass.

[Peter1First]

That's it! The Americans are going to shoot their planning bombs from Himars steeply upwards in our direction, and then they themselves ... It seems to us that Tornado-S does almost the same thing, but where are these Tornado-S on the front line? And how many will there be, if there is...?

[ABC-schutze]

And what about a good "bomb carpet" for "processing" the area? ... From completely "ordinary" high-explosive fragmentation? ..

[Normann]

The air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not end in any way, why sacrifice aircraft, but not aircraft, but pilots?

S-13, it seems to me, you can rivet at 40k by no means less than two hundred, which will be more effective

No, it will not. All this pitch-up shooting is non-aimed shooting into that steppe. In addition, fuel is wasted, motor resources are wasted, if you add up all these expenses, you get impressive amounts, if you decide to calculate finances, then count everything. A planning aerial bomb can solve the problem much more efficiently and quickly.

From fabs to make the planned fabs and deliver them to the front line for dill

Good news !!! Fry and fry under the root, this pig, there are no other opportunities to eradicate this indigence and never will be !!!

Contact the higher headquarters, they will meet your curiosity. And the plans will tell how without them.

[Chuck-norris]

At this headquarters, they will not tell or show anything, they will only talk about the destroyed billionth tank / ukrosoldat / mercenary / aircraft / MLRS, etc. Only this affects the fighting worse and worse, our nuclear triad is already being shelled. And plans ... why? For 9 months, so far only retreat and surrender of positions. I doubt this is the plan, unless it's Putin's Cunning Plan.

[petroglyph]

Contact the higher headquarters, they will meet your curiosity. And the plans will tell how without them.

And they will tell every day... After the roll call... For several years...

[Peter1First]

They will say "reactive artillery hit accumulations of militant manpower in 2 settlements ....."

What else is IT going on? Bgg. Did not know. And you, I look in the know and are not tired of watching? However, the taste and color ...

[solar]

Who wrote there that in Artemovsk there are only separate destructions?
Judging by the photo, the ruins. :((
On the other hand, head-on attacks are different and cannot pass.

[Peter1First]

And what do you think, losses are inflicted on the enemy only when he left the building and moved away from him by 10 ... 15 meters?

[kill the fascist]

Great news. The destruction of enemy manpower in large quantities is one of the main components of victory.

Sunlights are much more efficient. It’s just that it’s difficult to safely bring them to the front because of the small combat radius.
But the system itself is awesome.

[shikin]

Any weapon is effective if used correctly and appropriately. In aviation, there are the same ODABs, I wonder if they are used? Moreover, there are also adjustable ones, KAB-500-OD and KAB-1500LG-OD.

- It's hot! ...

[Nyrobsky]

Well, fine. Reconnaissance and TOS worked perfectly well, several banderlog platoons ran back and fired back.

[Grigory b]

Well, they sunbathed, they also write there and the American chocolate bar melted with Polish mercenaries. Yes, it’s hot for some people in Russia in mid-December.

Retreated from the Kurdyumovka area to Kleshcheevka and Experienced Ukrainian

And from the village of Experienced to Artemovsk - 3,5 km on foot.
The outskirts are losing men... That's why they come to us like a herd of rams for slaughter, why the trunks don't turn against the mercenaries, or, as usual... my hut from the edge?
