Kombrig "Vostok" Khodakovsky: Assault groups are pushing the enemy in Ugledar, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively working with ATGMs on our tanks

Russian troops continue to storm Ugledar, the fighting is on the outskirts of the city, there is no big advance inland, the enemy fiercely resists, trying to transfer reserves.

The attacks of the Russian army in several directions at once forced the enemy to commit reserves into battle, often removing them from other directions and exposing them. The same situation is with Ugledar. After the units of the marines of the Pacific Fleet and the fighters of the OBTF "Kaskad" caught on the outskirts of the city, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in order to prevent the loss of one of the most important defense centers, was forced to remove the units from the Bakhmut direction, thereby facilitating the work of the "musicians" from PMC "Wagner" .

At the moment, there are no big changes in Ugledar itself, the battles are going on, ours are slowly moving forward, trying to gain a foothold in the capital development on the eastern outskirts. Yesterday, fire control was established over the Ugledar-Pokrovskoye highway, which makes it difficult for the enemy to transfer reserves. At the same time, the city also stands on the mines, and this makes progress very difficult.

As Vostok commander Alexander Khodakovsky reported on his TG channel, in the evening fighting took place both on the outskirts of the city and in the buildings. Ukrainian ATGMs are working very actively from the roofs of high-rise buildings, preventing our armored vehicles from reaching direct fire. Our assault groups are working in the city itself, followed by "infantry", clearing the territory. Artillery works, and from both sides.

Our Tanks they risked going out on direct fire and working along the outskirts of Vugledar - the enemy hit them with birds from the roofs of high-rise buildings. The infantry maneuvers, releases assault groups that fall into the fire bag, pushes the enemy into the city

- He wrote.

The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, believes that the capture of Ugledar will radically change the balance of power at the front, so the enemy is resisting, not wanting to give up this defense center. The loss of Soledar, as well as Ugledar and Bakhmut, will hurt Kyiv.

Now it is important to keep the pressure on the entire front. So that the enemy did not have enough reserves and could not determine the direction of the main attack. This whole phase is a preparation for more significant actions, which, apparently, will begin in the spring.

It is necessary to work according to the system of "pressing on pain points", pressing on the central one, the enemy will transfer reinforcements from the north, or from the south. Moved from the north to the center, push to the north, weaken the center and so periodically, push where it hurts.

[Romario_Argo]

the suburbs of Artemovsk are covered with TOS-1A Solntsepek, volumetric explosions right between the houses
Ugledar also needs to be cleaned up in the same way + use aviation: ODAB-500
1,5 Su-2 sorties of 12 ODAB-34s are enough for Ugledar 4 x 500 km
why put our tanks under ATGMs

[saigon]

The Germans have always believed that the blow should be struck at the most important point.
Points the loss of which is fatal.
The Soviet troops acted in the same way in 44-45.
If you look at the recommendations for offensive actions, there are interesting things. Selecting a point, showing offensive actions and grinding reserves at a given point in case of superior firepower.

Aw what are you talking about? What forces? Already, most of the mobilized are fighting.

Will there be enough time and resources?
You can gnaw through the enemy in such cities for months like Mariupol.

[North Caucasus]

Time for an eternity. What about resources? Here there is already a direct butting of our military-industrial complex with a stranger.

Ukrainian ATGMs are working very actively from the roofs of high-rise buildings, preventing our armored vehicles from reaching direct fire.

It turns out that we don’t have drones to extinguish their anti-tank groups?

[Cympak]

there, it seems, the marines are advancing ... How many do you think the Ministry of Defense gave them drones and attack UAVs?
And they probably don’t know about the tactics of using FPV kamikaze drones in the Moscow Region.

[YOUR]

If this is not written about in this article, it does not mean that drones are not used, incl. kamikaze drones.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The Wagnerites have already demonstrated that ATGM installations are in the windows, they are also knocked out by ATGMs. And what is on the roofs should be suppressed by mortar fire or from the AGS.
You can, of course, work with kamikaze drones, if they are in abundance.

[sgrabik]

Exactly, if it is not possible to use aviation more actively, then it is urgent to intensify the use of loitering kamikaze drones and attack drones with missile and bomb weapons.

[antivirus]

What does it mean to expose others?
If ours there, supposedly naked, didn’t break through, then everything was thrown right.
Let them run naked for another year. Will we let them win? Here's the whole truth about naked guns

[Galleon]

La! Roofs of high-rise buildings. We fight without air, 21st century. Experience teaches that it teaches nothing.
But Chemezov talks about swarms.
The film on an Internet passed "The Best in Hell" about the Wagnerites. A tough heroic movie, but the whole plot is about the fact that they put in a platoon of infantry and several batteries so that one gunner would work instead of a drone. But that movie, and this life is real blood, our real people ...

[coinsam]

We fight without air, 21st century. - The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to make war "with the air", as a result they got a downed Su-25. With good air defense, aviation has no place above the battlefield.

[Cympak]

If you throw bombs from a height of more than 5 km, then MANPADS and short-range air defense systems are not terrible ("Wasp", "Strela", "Krotal", etc.). But to hit the target from 5 km, you need a WTO with satellite or laser guidance (you can also highlight targets on the LBS from the ground).
Medium-range (Buk) and long-range (S-300) air defense systems remain, but there are not many of them and they need to be knocked out with the help of PRR and UAVs

[Burma6]

Air defense has no place on the battlefield With a good SEAD

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

And the tank, if the enemy has an ATGM, also has no chance, and the infantryman has even less chance to go on the attack on a machine gun. Then it is logical for them to also sit and wait until someone suppresses the enemy's firing points. War in general is such a ... dangerous thing.

Well, firstly, they had drones, but they could not detect the enemy, and secondly, they put down the enemies pretty well.

[sgrabik]

If the drones failed to detect the enemy, then these drones are crappy and no good, so you need to improve them and bring them to the desired condition in the shortest possible time, or if this is not possible, then urgently create more advanced and efficient ones.

[Dart2027]

Quote: sgrabik

If the drones still failed to detect the enemy, then

It means that anything can happen. For example, the same film shows the work of electronic warfare, which neutralized such a drone.

[Prokop_Pork]

And where is Kuzka's mother, who will take control of the roofs and cultivate the fields around the city?

[akropin]

I do not quite understand. After our fighters pass through the settlement held by the enemy, ruins remain. This has been going on for many days and with the inevitable loss of people, which is important on our part. Is it possible to simplify - immediately ruins and without loss of fighters?

[Smart ass_]

Can.
Only, you ruined the city during the day, and they went there with new forces at night.
The next day, you lead the fighters into an ambush.
And if you don’t lead, then you have to ruin it again.
And so day after day.
Ruins, reinforcements, ruins, reinforcements.
There are probably 10 million men left in Ukraine.
Let's take 100 cities.
This is 100 thousand men per city.
Let 50 people a day
they send to the city in exchange for those who have been ruined there.
This is 2 thousand days to storm this city, or 7 years.
At the same time, their losses will still be, because they will still hit your fighters with himars and other rubbish from the depths of defense in the same way day after day.
They have much better satellite reconnaissance and guidance systems.
And I think that in 7 years of such standing under himars you will lose much more people than in 3 weeks of assault

[sgrabik]

There are much fewer men who are fully fit for active hostilities in Ukraine than the 10 million souls you voiced, although if you row through the bottom of the barrel and rake in everyone, young and old, plus all the temples and slanting, then it’s possible that it will be scraped, but what will be the qualitative component of this army , that's a completely different question.

[Konnick]

The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, believes that the capture of Ugledar will radically change the balance of power at the front,

Well, do not mention this "Nostradamus" Pushilin.

[glock-17]

Apparently they began to use Brusilov's tactics with an attack in several directions at once. The main thing is to identify the weak point of the enemy and deliver the main blow there. It remains to be hoped that there is a sufficient number of infantry for such tactics.

[Nikolay310]

Brusilov chose the least prepared places for defense and pressed there. he did not climb on the Germans, but put pressure on the Austro-Hungarians ...

now there are persistent attempts to poke the equipped fortified areas ... they rested, got up, rested, got up ... on the one hand, it’s good that they stopped stupidly shove and put infantry in the forehead ... on the other hand, the fortifications cannot be pierced with such pokes

[single-n]

And while these poking are going on, the enemy manages to equip 3 more lines of defense. And we get a constant assault on the fortifications. This is "shove on the forehead." It's just stretched out in time. And losses too.

[Nastia makarova]

you can’t build a line of defense in a couple of weeks

[coinsam]

there are no significant results in this area, and I assume that they are unlikely to be in the near future. according to Khodakovsky, the UAF has received reinforcements, so the gnaw is likely to be ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowo Our units have no amplification, and therefore we operate with available forces.

[Wayfarer_2]

To hit now would not be in the Donbass in general, but in another place, so that they would start pulling out troops from the Donbass. For example, in the Sumy region, to strike from its territory. Kyiv is close there, a threat, panimash. And for this it is necessary to additionally involve at least one division.

[Nikolay310]

apparently, our dear nanogenius once again promised something to someone ... for example, not to expand the geography of the NWO ... neither in the Chernihiv region, nor in the Sumy region, nor even in the Kharkiv region (which would be logical) there are not even any attempts. ..there is a primitive butting into the fortified areas with very dubious results ...

the summer scenario is repeated, when ours broke through the fortifications, and the Ukrainians were preparing a grouping for a distracting strike in the Kherson region and a devastating blow in the Kharkov region ...

only if in the summer ours occupied quite significant Lisichansk and Severodonetsk, along the way more modest Zolote and Gorskoe, now this butting brought only Soledar and the semi-encirclement of Artyomovsk ... that is, much smaller territories

[Nastia makarova]

it was said in the summer that there would be no offensives in the Chernihiv region, or in the Sumy region, or even in the Kharkiv region, and Russia did not need this territory

[Nikolay310]

morning from Khodakovsky:

forwarded from
Alexander Khodakovsky
Near Ugledar, the night passed without much activity on both sides, there were no significant changes in the situation. In the early morning, the enemy used highmars on the village of Stepnoe, believing that there was a large control center there and trying to hinder our work. So far, the enemy's tactics are based on cutting off our advanced groups that have penetrated into his defenses as deeply as possible with artillery fire with periodic counterattacks. But the counterattacks are not of an intense nature and are attempts by small groups to recapture any of the positions we have occupied.

Such a tactic will also require equivalent logistical efforts from us. Do we need it and can we provide it?

[Serge9901]

The conflict takes on a protracted character and not for a year or two. The first mobilization was carried out, rotation is coming soon, will the people have enough patience for the third or fourth? Next year - the elections and the maskva will be rocked like never before. If we don't "start" in the summer (and there seems to be nothing to start with), they will tear us apart like a monkey with a wet newspaper. Some kind of dead end ...

[DO]

Ukrainian ATGMs are working very actively from the roofs of high-rise buildings

Urban development is where attack drones are needed, in large numbers. To work on ATGMs, MANPADS, snipers - Lancets-1, capable of attacking from any angle, and through windows too.
And for work on mortars, artillery, MLRS, tanks and other enemy equipment - Lancets-3 with a cumulative fragmentation warhead.
Plus special reconnaissance UAVs, because the scout from the Lancet is so-so.
Then the losses will be much less.

[Architect]

If only firebrands remain from the city after the assault, is it not possible to start immediately with firebrands?
There is a vacuum bomb, well, they would drop it from a great height.

[hump]

And according to other reliable data, they knocked us away from Ugledar
