French Caesar howitzer destroyed during offensive in Donetsk direction - Ministry of Defense

The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost the Mi-8 helicopter, shot down by the Russian military in the Kharkiv direction, the village of Blagodatnoye in the Donetsk direction came under the control of Russian forces. This is stated in the new report of the Ministry of Defense.

The military department recognized the transition of the village of Blagodatnoye, located between Soledar and Artemovsk, under Russian control. It is reported that he was liberated by "assault squad volunteers", as the Ministry of Defense calls the fighters of the PMC "Wagner", with the support of artillery and aviation group "Southern". According to the report, ours no longer occupied other settlements, although there is unofficial information that the "musicians" nevertheless took the village of Sacco and Vanzetti. But we will wait for confirmation from the Wagnerites themselves, they will certainly report this.



The enemy suffers heavy losses, both in personnel and equipment. In this direction, during the offensive, a French self-propelled gun "Caesar", an American M777 howitzer and a towed howitzer "Msta-B" were destroyed.

In the Yuzhno-Donetsk direction in the Ugledar region, ours defeated the units of the 72nd OMBR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and in the Novopol region - the 110th brigade of the TRO. Enemy losses amounted to over 40 servicemen, one tank, two armored cars. Also, in the area of ​​Ugledar and Katerynivka, two ammunition depots were destroyed.

According to Zaporozhye, no change, the fighting has subsided here, there is no information about the situation in this direction in the summary. In Kherson, as part of a counter-battery fight, two self-propelled guns "Gvozdika" were destroyed, as well as two warehouses with ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of Mikhailovka and Zmievka. In the area of ​​Zolotaya Balka, a Mi-8 helicopter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was shot down by means of air defense.

On Kupyansky, units of the 114th and 103rd troop brigades in the Masyutovka and Tabaevka districts of the Kharkov region fell under the blow of artillery from the Zapadnaya grouping, losing up to 45 personnel, a tank, four armored cars and a D-20 howitzer. On Krasno-Limansky, Ukrainian paratroopers from the 25th airborne and 95th airborne assault brigades fell under our artillery and flamethrower systems. More than 60 Ukrainian servicemen and four armored combat vehicles were destroyed.

      Map of battles for Carbon.


      According to the situation at the front.

      . A post appeared on the feed of one of the telegram channels popular in Nenko: “It is expected that Seversk is one of the next targets for the Russian military, who have taken control of Soledar. Currently, north of Soledar, Russian troops are advancing towards Razdolovka, and Seversk is another 10 km north of this settlement. It is worth noting that during the battles for Soledar, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses and retreated to the west. A significant part of the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been withdrawn to Seversk. ”The mood of these warriors is coming out below the plinth. In particular, on the outskirts of Seversk, the remnants of the so-called "NATO" 77th airmobile brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine dug in, whose soldiers with pathos underwent a three-month training in the UK. It was equipped with American MaxxPro armored personnel carriers and reinforced with T-80BV tanks. The boys boasted that they were not afraid of any Wagner.
      But in three months of fighting, about 70% of the personnel of the 77th OAEMBr went into the red. It was her “two hundredths” who were collected on the streets of Soledar by Wagner fighters and stacked in terrible rows in the surviving hangars. That is why the paratroopers were coming out without enthusiasm, if not with horror, they are waiting for new meetings with the "musicians".
      According to the volunteer maps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in addition to the already indicated paratroopers, the defense forces of the 18th brigade and the westerners of the 10th OGSH Brigade will defend Seversk. They are likely to be joined by the motorized infantry of the 54th Motorized Brigade, which is fighting oncoming battles in Verkhnekamskoe and Belogorovka, in which, according to the Ukrainian side, "the meat grinder is not sickly."


      In particular, the gunpowder robots told the hulks that “the fall of Seversk cannot be allowed now, otherwise the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to transfer military support to Bakhmut, plus at the same time they themselves will find themselves in an operational environment. Moreover, to protect the city, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have to withdraw about four to five brigades from Kremennaya. Because of this, there can be no talk of [going out-warriors] trying to attack in the direction of Lugansk.”

      According to Zaporozhye, no changes, here the fighting has subsided

      It's sad, but I think this is the most difficult direction. Solid minefields, you have to adapt to force them. I think everything is ahead, we will break through as soon as everything falls into place in other areas. For some reason, the phrase resonated with the ear - "he was liberated" by the "volunteers of the assault squads" ". The General Staff of the Russian Federation stubbornly does not want to call a spade a spade. "PMC Wagner", he is in Africa "PMC Wagner". Apparently there is something else related to politics.

          Read the article carefully - It is reported that he was liberated by "volunteers of the assault detachments", as the Ministry of Defense calls the fighters of the Wagner PMC, with the support of artillery and aviation of the Yuzhnaya group

      The assault on Ugledar is complicated by the fact that the enemy scatters tm-ki and petals in huge quantities. Well, it is clear that such experience as that of the Musicians is gained for a long time. The Marines would take the heights around Ugledar, from which it is convenient to conduct a counter-battery fight and shoot at the supply and reinforcement routes, and grind

      The fact that the French Caesar was destroyed is just fine. More long-range and mobile gun than the same M777. It's hard to catch her.
