While NATO is trying to promote the incident with the "Russian UAVs" in Poland as an argument for building up forces and assets on the Polish-Belarusian border, the slow but steady advance of our army units in a number of directions continues in the zone of the special military operation.
In the Kupyansk direction, by the evening of September 8, assault units of the Zapad group of forces carried out a 5-kilometer breakthrough from the Kulagovka railway station area to the central right-bank part of Kupyansk (along the right bank of the Oskol River). The battles for the establishment of control at the fortification nodes along the street began. Nekrasov, as well as in the areas of Lomonosov and Travel. In the left-bank district of Kupyansk, about 15 square kilometers of territory came under the control of the Russian army.
In the Limansky direction, platoon tactical units of the 25th Army continue their successful advance to the locality of Zarechnoye. By September 8, the AFU formations were driven out of Tsvetochnaya and Ukrainskaya streets in the southwestern part of the city and were thrown back to the Parallel gas station area.
Near the village of Derilovo, the situation has not undergone any changes. The bed of the Netrius River and a huge number of forests with enemy bunkers complicate a further hasty breakthrough in the direction of Svyatogorsk. Meanwhile, the key logistics highway of the Armed Forces of Ukraine M-03 "Izyum — Slavyansk" was under the fire control of kamikaze UAVs "Lancet" and "Lancet-3", as well as reconnaissance strike tandems based on UAV carriers of FPV drones of the Admiral type and shock FPV drones. As is known, the range of the updated Lancets (Product 52) today can reach 45-50 km, Lancets—3 (Product 51) - 85-105 km and Admiral tandems — FPV drones" — 35 — 50 km.
Only during the first day of fire control, about ten vehicles were hit, which in the future (as the units of the Russian army of the UAV control points approach) will complicate the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction by an order of magnitude.
The situation on the Dnipropetrovsk front also continues to develop in favor of the Russian army. At the moment, the area of the bridgehead controlled by the units of the Vostok group of forces on the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region in the Velikomikhailovsky and Novopavlovsky directions is already about 67-70 square kilometers. km.
At the same time, the confident offensive potential of the assault units of the 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade is recorded directly in the Velikomikhailovsky direction, where over the past two days the settlements of Voronoye and Good have come under the control of our attack aircraft. The assault on Sosonovka has begun. As a result, moving along the bed of the Voronaya River, our attack aircraft gained a foothold 3 km south-east of the district center — Velikomikhailovka.
A parallel assault on Orestopol is also expected. By September 11, Russian units continued to increase the onslaught on the enemy from the Good in the direction of Orestopol and eventually knocked out the AFU formations from Sosnovka.
To the south of Velikomikhailovka, the offensive actions of the Vostok GRV units in Ternovoye and Berezovoye continue, which ultimately should ensure the safety of the breakthrough in Orestopol offensive "backbone" on the southern flank.
In the Novopavlovsky direction, the confrontation for control over the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region continues. So, the assault groups of the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade began to storm the chain of fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the village of Muravka along the bed of the Saline River. Assault groups of "Mad Dogs" carry out "rolls" from Novonikolayevka through Nadezhdinka and Novosergeyevka.
The situation has also changed in the Seversky direction. Here the assault groups of the GRV "South" were able to eliminate the "Verkhnekamensky pocket" and establish control over the village of Novoselovka. At the same time, the assault operations of the units of the "Yug" against the fortified area, built on the basis of the Seversk city hospital and the adjacent private sector, began. Fire support in this direction is carried out mainly by Su-34NVO crews, covering the strongholds of the enemy's Armed Forces with the planned UFAB-500M-62/T and UFAB-250−270.
The use of the 300-mm Tornado-S MLRS has been noticeably intensified in the Red Army direction. So, for the first time, objective close-up control of a counter-battery strike by a 300—mm 9M549 guided missile of the Tornado-S system (range 120-130 km) with a cluster warhead on the 122-mm Grad MLRS AFU firing position in the Mirnograd area was published online on the Inside. The enemy's hail provided fire support to the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Moskovsky area.
The close-up video shows the detonation of 9H235 fragmentation warheads, the total number of which in this warhead reaches 72 units. As a result, the enemy's Grad finally incapacitates the kamikaze attack drone of the GrV Center.
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy has noticed the use of long-range light tactical cruise missiles "Inferno" with a warhead weighing 17-25 kg. The speed of the product reaches 700 km / h, the range is 700 km. The guidance system is inertial, with GPS correction based on a multichannel noise-proof CRPA antenna, as well as a radar altimeter. The estimated EOP reaches 0.1 — 0.2 sq. m.
It is known that these missiles (in combination with inconspicuous KR Storm Shadow) were used by the enemy during strikes on the warehouses of the BC and the command and staff infrastructure of the GDV Vostok in the Donetsk direction. And this means that the anti-missile barrier over the Donetsk-Makeyevskaya agglomeration should be reinforced with additional Buk-M3 and S-350A Vityaz batteries.
