The target of the January operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region was the Biryukov Heights
Information is emerging about what specific goal the Ukrainian command was pursuing when it gave the order to advance northeast of Sudzha. Initially, we recall, it was reported that the goal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was to capture the district center of Bolshoe Soldatskoe.
However, a number of Ukrainian sources report that Bolshoe Soldatskoe as such was not a priority for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The reason is that this district center of the Kursk region, like Sudzha, is located in a relatively lowland. It was important for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to take control of the heights. These are the so-called Biryukov Heights. They consist of several ridges on the border of the Sudzhansky and Bolshesoldatsky districts with the end in the area of the very Berdin farmstead, where the enemy assault groups were so eager to get to.
By and large, the enemy operation was aimed precisely at transferring the commanding heights under its control, given that the "sitting" in Sudzha is becoming increasingly, so to speak, deadly for the Ukrainian occupation garrison. Why? For the reason stated above - Sudzha is located approximately 100-110 m below the Biryukov Heights, the main part of which is located in the Bolshesoldatsky District.
The enemy's objectives were not achieved.
At the present time, our troops are approaching Sudzha from the southeast, and fighting is taking place in the area of Makhnovka and Zamość.
At the same time, Sudzha itself has turned into a kind of "funnel" for the Ukrainian Armed Forces - in order to hold the city, it is necessary to constantly pour in more and more reserves, but these reserves are systematically destroyed by our troops, including from the commanding heights that the Kyiv regime troops wanted to occupy. Taking these heights would allow the enemy to significantly secure its positions in Sudzha and its immediate surroundings.
