The Russian Armed Forces completed coverage of Novokalinovo from two directions and entered the Kramatorsk region from the south

Russian troops continue to develop their offensive west of Avdeevka. After the liberation of Ocheretino, Novobakhmutovski, Solovyovo and the entry into Novokalinovo, the Russian Armed Forces carried out coverage of this settlement from two directions - southern and eastern.

At the same time, while advancing northeast of Novokalinovo, the Russian army entered the Kramatorsk region in this direction - from the south.

The strategy of our troops on this extended section of the front is noteworthy. The liberation of Ocheretino makes it possible to control key heights over vast areas. Comparable heights in this direction are Chasov Yar, the eastern part of which was occupied by units of the Russian Armed Forces. That is, the enemy is purposefully deprived of strategically important heights, which will make it possible in the future to “knock down” the Ukrainian Armed Forces into the lowlands, where it will be much more difficult for enemy armed formations to defend themselves.

The area north of Ocheretino to Kramatorsk and Slavyansk is lowland. And this is an important component in the offensive actions of the Russian army.

In addition to covering Novokalinovo, Russian troops also advanced into the village itself, which the enemy also admits. On his maps, the advance of our troops inside the village per day was about a third of a kilometer. There is a high probability that the village will be liberated in the coming days.

Keep it up guys! Well done. Of course, I would like it to be faster... But life and the operational situation often differ from what you want.

If they take Arkhangelskoye, the Nazis will flee from Novokalinovo and Keramika or end up in the cauldron.

Why do they use eye-catching and clumsy temperature maps instead of traditional elevation maps?

I completely agree. Such cards are definitely out of place. There are a dime a dozen others!

You don't understand anything. Pictures in reports should be colorful. If the report is about some heights, then in the picture everything should look at least like the Caucasus, and better like the Pamirs. And no one will praise you for an ugly report and they won’t give you another trinket.

Do you really think that authors on VO use military reports or get trinkets for pictures in the news?
I suspect that the admin is simply using maps from some publicly available resource, because civilians will not be allowed close to the military - on any military map, even before a single icon appears on it, the first thing they write is “Secret”.

The authors are unlikely. But Konashenkov, from whom these reports are taken, is for sure.

Would you mind giving me a link? Otherwise, I only found these cards from Konashenkov:

Do you pamper the link?

This is for the author of the news. I’m not the one broadcasting these pictures here.

You blurted out about reports, trinkets and Konashenkov...

I suspect that the admin or the author of the article understands no more about cartography than one well-known pet in oranges. And they don’t try to understand. That's why the cards are like that.

And they don’t try to understand

Unfortunately, it appears to be the case. Because showing such maps on a specialized military resource is some kind of shame...

This is a shame not only in a military resource, but simply where people go that they studied normally at school. Not to mention some specialists.

What other temperatures
This is a height map, in color.

This is an extremely shoddy attempt to colorize a height map. Because this palette implies a difference from sea level to the Himalayas. And in this area the difference is unlikely to be more than a couple of hundred meters. For such cases, other color palettes are used.

This is a map from the site https://ru-ru.topographic-map.com. Although there may be other similar sites.

No. The palette is the same, but the “scale” of the palette adapts to the difference in elevation of the area being shown.

What other temperatures

There is such a thing as temperature (or heat) maps.
It is a 1in1 HeatMap from GnuPlot. If this were a display on the map, let’s say “the probability of getting caught” (or the air temperature from the weather forecast) - it would be normal.
Well, or the product deformation graph in CAD systems could look similar.
But for a height map it is too clumsy and unclear (as they rightly wrote above - as if there are Everests everywhere).
It looks (and this has also already been written about) like a cheap stylization in order to show that “we don’t just copy-paste news, we also make pictures (as best we can).”
It's painful to look at this for a long time.
And geographers and everyone else (including the military) who work with maps would go nuts.

This is not a temperature map. And it is more visual for indicating elevation changes, unlike traditional ones
