British intelligence and the American Institute for the Study of War again disagreed on the situation in Bakhmut

The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and British intelligence again disagreed on the situation in Bakhmut. Differences are noted in the assessment of both the general situation in the city and in relation to the AZOM plant.

British intelligence doubted that the fighters of the assault detachments of the PMC "Wagner" established control over the territory of the Artyomovsk Metal Processing Plant (AZOM). A new press release issued by the UK MoD says the takeover of the plant is not "definite".

The British again declare a slowdown in the advance of the "Orchestra", citing "great losses", as well as the fact that 5 thousand "militants" from prisoners left the Wagner, but they do not give new ones. Therefore, they believe, the attacks of the assault groups are at a "low level." They also doubt that the "musicians" managed to take control of the territory of AZOM, for the same reason - the lack of personnel.

American analysts from ISW, on the contrary, note the advance of Orkestr attack aircraft in the north of Bakhmut, the capture of AZOM, successes in the southern direction and the advance of Russian forces towards the city center. According to a new statement from the institute, reports from Russian resources about establishing control over a larger area of ​​AZOM are plausible, as is the advance towards the city center, judging by geolocation.

(...) These claims are plausible given the geolocated visual evidence of Wagner's progress towards the city center

the Americans say.

Meanwhile, the "Orchestra" units made significant progress in the city, despite the fierce resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. All this is done without unnecessary noise and loud statements. "Musicians" do their job, like thousands of other Russian servicemen in other sectors of the front. Victory can only be achieved through joint efforts.

"If Wagner PMC dies in the Bakhmut meat grinder and takes the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the forces given to it with it, then we have fulfilled our historical role."

Yevgeny Prigozhin gave a detailed commentary on Zelensky's words about being forced to negotiate after the loss of Bakhmut.

After the capture of Popasnaya, the battle for Bakhmut was planned back in the summer of 2022 - PMC "Wagner" is systematically following this path.

This battle destroyed the army of Ukraine and pretty battered "musicians".

The victory of the "musicians" will dramatically turn the special operation upside down, since only the Russian army will remain on the chessboard.

The flanks - south and north - must go and tear everything that remains of the Ukrainian army. That's when history will turn back.

There is progress if you look at the map with geolocation; It's not as fast as we'd like, but it's there.

Especially for the minusers, a screen from the Guardian, one of the cometaries, and there are more and more of them. It’s hysterical today, if Trump comes, Ukraine will be left face to face with Russia. Is he going to stretch out for two years? no longer 100% result.

On account quickly. There are profitable positions, you can grind. Let's take Kherson as an example, but only later because of the dam. And they were moving fast. Let the enemy place his defenses in unfavorable positions. They take skyscrapers, fix themselves from the skyscrapers and work out the enemy. A perfectly justified tactic. They will work out the next frontier and again to the skyscrapers.

The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and "British Intelligence" draw information from various sources - "near Bakhmut" bloggers, other bloggers who call themselves military correspondents draw information from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and "British Intelligence". In fact, neither one nor the other knows about the situation in Bakhmut. Here is such a paradox.

again diverged in their views on the situation in Bakhmut

As I wrote earlier, British intelligence is based solely on data from Kyiv, and the Americans, oddly enough, are trying to use other sources of information. When the Armed Forces of Ukraine are completely driven out of Artemovsk, these two structures will continue their dispute - the British will say that Artemovsk is staunchly defending the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Americans, referring to other sources, will try to paint a real picture.

The American Institute and British intelligence are examining under a microscope the actions of the Russian army and the Wagner PMC in the war with Ukraine. In Russia, who is engaged in research and analysis of the war. Looking at this war and its conduct, no one analyzes anything. There are so many wars , so much combat experience, and things are still there. Self-confidence, bordering on recklessness, is not professionalism, that's what we have. This applies not only to the war, but for the most part to our political leadership.

It was necessary to add a third participant in the correspondence dispute - VO. Here they often write about the state of affairs in this Bakhmut. As far as one can understand, VO agrees with the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), judging by what they write here. Or I'm wrong?

And so March ends. Bakhmut is in the same status. Stormed city.
I think the task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to hold out there for another three weeks, before the onset. This topic will no longer be relevant.

And it all depends on what sauce it is consumed with. On the one hand, of course, it was the 2nd year of the NWO, but on the other hand, the 9th year of the ATO ...
