Ministry of Defense: On June 4, the enemy attempted to break through in five sectors of the front in the South-Donetsk direction, losing 40 armored vehicles as a result

On Sunday, June 4, the enemy attempted an offensive not on three, as previously stated, but on five sectors of the front in the South Donetsk direction. This is stated in the new message of the Ministry of Defense.

According to the data provided by the military, the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began on Sunday morning, with the introduction of units of the 23rd and 31st mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the strategic reserve of the Ukrainian General Staff, as well as other units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In total, the Ukrainian command sent eight battalions into battle, including six mechanized and two tank.

The enemy attacked at once on five sectors of the front, looking for a place where the defense of the Russian troops would be more vulnerable. In the event of a breakthrough, additional forces were supposed to be brought into battle, but the enemy was not successful in any of the directions. The total losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine per day amounted to 250 personnel, 16 tanks, three infantry fighting vehicles and 21 armored vehicles of various types (40 armored vehicles).

In the areas where the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked, there were troops of the Eastern Military District, who built a competent defense, on which the enemy stumbled. According to the Ministry of Defense, the commander of the NVO, General Gerasimov, was at the forefront during the attack.

Commander of the Joint Group of Forces - Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Gerasimov V.V. during this period he was at one of the advanced command posts in this direction

- it is spoken in the message of military department.

Earlier it was reported that during the day on June 4, the enemy launched attacks on the Vremeevsky ledge, near Ugledar and in the Avdiivka area. Near Vremeevka and Vuhledar, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had a temporary success, but were thrown back; near Avdiivka, the attack attempt failed. According to military correspondents, the enemy is looking for a weak point in the defense in order to launch a large-scale offensive.

And here it is. The commander of the group is located where he believes that he is needed most of all and not for "medals" ... And now it is very hard for him and for ordinary soldiers there.
Better wish them well

[saigon]

Sorry, but the most important thing in the article is about Gerasimov and his personal leadership of the battles, let's say the level of the regiment.
What Vsuki tried to portray was neither the main thing for the article, the main personal guide.
The main wish for the fighters and commanders on the front end is to be alive.

[Tryams]

leadership of the battles, let's say the level of the regiment.

Below is a question for you, comrade. KomDiv

[sailor roman]

Eight battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, plus support and reinforcement forces, this is more than six thousand personnel, one and a half hundred armored vehicles. Perhaps this is not enough. And the forces and means for developing success, behind the advancing battalions, are up to 30 thousand l / s and up to one and a half thousand armored vehicles. So Gerasimov correctly determined where he should be!

[Egeny]

Quote: sailor Roman

So Gerasimov correctly identified ... his place

2 tank and 6 mechanized battalions ... yes, a tough batch
Only in one mechanized battalion on BMP:
555 people (40 officers, 12 ensigns, 84 sergeants, 419 soldiers),
13 tanks, 38 BMP-1, 1 BMP-1K, 1 BMP-1KSh, 1 BRM-1K and BTR-60PB,
6 120-mm mortars on vehicles, 9 MANPADS, 6 AGS-17, 1 PZM-2, 1 BREM,
15 trucks, 19 special vehicles.
In, what dug up, and there are six of them, and even a couple of tank ones.)

[Egeny]

So Gerasimov "shot" all this as if in a shooting range.)

The group commander is where he thinks he is needed most.

The group commander should be where he should be, i.e. at headquarters and coordinate the action of the entire group, and not where he wants. He is still not a captain by rank to command a company on the front.

And who told you that he commanded a company there?
And being at the Advanced Command Post is quite normal ...
Would you be a little more specific.

In fact, it’s not bad when the leadership during the battles is next to the trenches, at least with their own eyes they can see what and how, and not according to peppy reports. The same is true of all managers it seems.

And what can the local generals say? Where is the best place for the Armed Forces to attack the RF Armed Forces and how?
Sticking to someone's "problems" - you don't need to be smart, it's better to show your talents.

+1
yesterday they were looking for "minus" on the site, but they had a day off, and today they came running ...

[GGV]

That's right, yesterday there were howls and groans on the site. How do you think they should have launched an offensive? As they started, in five places and provocations in the Belgorod region. why moan, after reading only the news, without even waiting for the development of events.

[Al manah]

Not everyone lives far enough away from the action to feel safe.

[Alekseev]

"... hang him a medal."
Enemy voice.
Well done soldiers and officers of the 5th Combined Arms Army.
There are incompetent scoundrels, kogechno, in the troops. They have always been, but no one gave the right to stink from the couch to all sorts of "smarts", like everything sucks.

[Andrey Andreev_2]

Stop writing about the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!! The offensive plans were developed by NATO, reconnaissance using NATO satellites, NATO instructors conducted training, training and now lead the enemy’s military operations, NATO equipment and weapons, so international battalions consist of fighters mainly from NATO, etc. After that, talk about countering the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the battlefield is simply not serious: Russia is at war with NATO, only so far on its territory (((

[Captain45]

Quote: Andrey Andreev_2

Russia is at war with NATO, only so far on its territory (((

If we consider the Belgorod region, then YES, but so far, hostilities are being conducted on the territory adjacent to Russia, although historically and geographically it is the territory of the Russian Empire, by the way recognized by all European states at the Congress of Vienna and sitting quietly like mice under a broom. Because, as the state-emperor Alexander III said: "While the Russian tsar is fishing, Europe can wait!"

[Herman 4223]

Do you know that he is not stationary? Today he is in Kyiv, and tomorrow somewhere else. And the offensive requires cover from air attacks. At least on the first day of surgery.

[Zhan]

Quote: Herman 4223

June will be VERY hot...

I, too, about two months ago, said that from June to September it would be very hot. I just didn’t think that ours would go again to the grain agreement. Although also predictable. They gave Erdogan points to earn points in the elections. While he and his entourage are satisfied with all parties to the conflict. Well, the port of Yuzhny has already been blocked, which means that after Erdogan's re-enactment, wait for the main events at the front. Ironing on the rear began very intensively.

[Herman 4223]

The second part of the grain deal is that the sanctions imposed on Russia, which restrict the export of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers to world markets, will be lifted.

The grain deal is also profitable for us. If we close this deal, then hunger will stupidly begin in Africa and other developing countries. Not in Europe and the USA, but there. Why do we need it? Let there be this deal.

[75 Sergey]

The main thing is to hold on, not to let them develop the offensive, to destroy the accumulation of troops, equipment, ammunition, fuel and lubricants and ammunition in the rear, to cut communications.

[Herman 4223]

The official representative of the department, Igor Konashenkov, said that during this attack, Kiev involved six mechanized brigades and two tank battalions from the strategic reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They were supported by other military units and divisions.

It won't end so soon. They have at least as much power up their sleeves.

[Alex_5]

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have a lot of accumulated forces, a small fraction of everything participated in the sortie.

[Herman 4223]

Let's just say, 6 brigades is not a small force. Moreover, 6 brigades are only from the reserve. But according to open data, 12-15 such new brigades were being trained. It is quite possible that more. Let's see how things go on.

[rotmistr60]

On the first major attempt of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they broke off their teeth. Let's see what follows. The main thing is that ours showed readiness to repel an offensive with great damage to the enemy.

[Plantagenet]

“To the left of Ugledar, the enemy, with limited forces, using up to ten armored vehicles, went on the offensive in the direction of Zolotaya Niva - Novodonetskoye. So far, he has been successful. "Aerial reconnaissance recorded the movement of up to thirty units of armored vehicles in the tactical area, but due to limited capabilities, the point of "ascent" could not be established. As a result, the strike group, which is now working out Novodonetskoye, reached the line of attack almost unnoticed. Traditionally, having crushed communications, the enemy managed to place us in a predicament. Situation in development." - Khodakovsky

[Al manah]

The matter is already in the past, but so, to understand the dynamics of the processes:

The enemy penetrated our defenses, having reached Neskuchnoye and Novodarovka, in these settlements our fortified oporniki.

According to unconfirmed reports, they are busy with the enemy, our retreated to the reserve line of defense. Armored groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to break through to Storozhevoy south of Neskuchny.

"Fortified" oporniks were taken on the move.

There is almost zero information, almost nothing is clear at all. If there really were full-fledged attacks, and they were defeated, then a counterattack followed to finish off until they came to their senses? In general, it is a strange situation when the Russian army sits on the defensive and fights off the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Good luck to you guys, to everyone: from soldiers to generals!

According to the Ministry of Defense, the commander of the NVO, General Gerasimov, was at the forefront during the attack.

I really want to believe that he acted differently from Lapin in the Belgorod region ...

[Amateur]

the commander of the NMD, General Gerasimov, was during the attack at the forefront.

General of the Army Gerasimov V.V. during this period was one of the forward control points in this direction

If "Recall everything", then the "Forward control point" is located in Rostov.
What, the front line is already going through this city? Or zhulnalyugi themselves do not read what they write, and the head is given to them in order to eat.
ps It seems that the accountant general finally realized that the rating of public opinion about Gen. Gerasimov is "below the plinth" and they decided to raise him with such an "extraordinary" statement. But after

Colonel General Lapin personally led the Russian units in repulsing the attack on the Belgorod region.

the location of these "generals" does not matter.
It is necessary that the troops led by them win victories over the enemy, and not pathetic PR attempts to correct their ̶k̶a̶r̶m̶u̶̶ image.

[Herman 4223]

If "Recall everything", then the "Forward control point" is located in Rostov.

The forward point of what is in Rostov?

General of the Army Gerasimov V.V. during this period he was at one of the advanced command posts in this direction

The general was not at the headquarters of the NWO, but somewhere closer. This is quite understandable if you read carefully.

[syabroleonid]

With all due respect. Gerasimov and the headquarters of the group must be protected. "Where should the commander be"?

[Carlos Hall]

It seems that the first serious attempt of the Ukrainian offensive ended with the destruction of numerous enemy equipment and manpower.

[Alex_5]

A trial balloon will be thrown in. There is a search for weak points in the defense of the RF Armed Forces, as well as the identification of fire weapons.

[Dedok]

the main thing they don’t want to write about is that they suppressed our communication in the areas where they are advancing
and where are the multi-star generals ... and what are they without communications?

[Ulysses]

I'll tell you more, we must in every possible way support the tales that they suppressed our connection, there are no shells, the fighters scatter at their first stir. Let them believe.

[MDSW]

If Gerasimov was really there, this is a good sign - nothing unexpected happened. The attack will be crushed. The enemy will be defeated and driven back to their original positions.
