Reactive UFABS are already near Odessa, promotion in Pridneprovie — overview of the situation

The week ends with an even more active advance of the Vostok GRV units on the Dnipropetrovsk front. This was facilitated by the active use of high-precision 300-mm MLRS 9K515 Tornado-S and the use of a fundamentally new modification of the UMPC, which received not only a developed tail section of the wing, but also a jet engine.

The new product, built around the standard FAB-500T and the new UMPK, is capable of overcoming 175 — 193 km in planning mode and, according to the enemy, has already visited the points of temporary deployment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the deep rear, including Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev, and today afternoon — and Odessa region.

In the latter case, we are talking about a successful strike by the planners of the UFAB-500T in a reactive modification on one of the logistics centers (and probably also the control point of the AFU strike) in the city of Yuzhnoye. At the same time, it is reported that the AWACS radar or multifunctional radars of the Air Defense Forces of Ukraine (probably we are talking about the TRML-4D, 80K6T Pelican or AN/MPQ-64F1 radars) detected and completed the alignment of the routes of the planning UFABS at the base of the Tendrov Spit, and also recorded a change in their route with a turn to the South immediately after intersections of the western tip of the spit.

This indicates that when the UFABS were dropped over the Crimea, the bombs had a range reserve for maneuvering around the ranges of the NASAMS or IRIS-T air defense systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There is a sharp twofold increase in both technical and operational-tactical capabilities of UFABS. How is this achieved?

It is known that the new UFABs are equipped with small-sized turbojet engines Swiwin SW800 Pro. Despite the fact that the thrust of this engine is only 80 kgf, it is quite enough to provide the rocket with a reserve of kinetic energy necessary to maintain a flight speed of 750-600 km/h at a distance of up to 193 km when descending from the Su-34NVO suspension unit at a level of more than 11,000 m and at a speed of 0.95 m.

Thus, today the boundaries of the use of UFAB-500T not only provide a margin for circumnavigating the ranges of the NASAMS complexes, but also exceed the effective range of the MIM-104D anti-aircraft missiles of the Patriot PAC-2GEM-T/S complex (165 km). And this means that the crews of the Su-34NVO can use these planning aerial bombs without facing the risk of interception by the Patriots, which a year earlier miraculously (thanks to the high experience of the crew) was avoided by one of the Su-34s on the Mariupol direction.

We will be transferred to the active areas of the theater of military operations to analyze the situation over the past few days.

The most significant events in the tactical plane are still taking place in the area of responsibility of the Vostok group of forces, namely, on the Ivanovka — Pershotravnevoye segment. Thus, the storming of the strongholds of the 23rd, 61st and 67th separate mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the village of Ivanovka in the Dnipropetrovsk region became possible mainly due to the local multiple superiority over the enemy in the number of FPV attack drones on fiber optic, the Lancet-3 kamikaze UAV, as well as more active fire support. from the calculations of MLRS "Tornado-S".

The fact is that to the north of this village, the enemy has gained a foothold on a number of commanding heights and holds under direct fire control from small arms, as well as RPGs and LNG, not only Ivanovka, but also the Volchya riverbed, which, under enemy fire, was able to force the units of the 228th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 90th Guards Tank Division. To do this, the operators of FPV drones and MLRS had to suppress more than a dozen AFU field firing positions. To more confidently maintain control over Ivanovka, the attack aircraft of the 228th regiment will need to expand the bridgehead north of the village and reach the commanding heights.

37 km to the south-west, assault units of the 64th separate Motorized Rifle Brigade took control of the Pershotravnevoye settlement. An important point in this case is the forced crossing of the Yanchur River by Russian units. And now it remains for the attack aircraft to occupy the heights to the west and southwest of Pershotravnevoye, which will allow a breakthrough to begin to the villages of Sweet and Rybnoye, and then to the most important fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Ravnopol. Formations of the 110th Separate Brigade of Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were forced out of Pershotravnevoye. The assault on the key villages of Vishnevoye and Egorovka on the way to the Pokrovskoye—Gulyai-Pole supply line continues. The target settlement here is still Danilovka.

Significant progress has also appeared in the Seversky direction. Thus, the fighters of the 7th separate motorized rifle brigade of the GRV "South" were able to knock out the units of the 81st separate airmobile brigade and the 7th Carpathian border detachment from the tactically important locality of Dronovka, located on the northern flank of Seversk. 2 railway stations - "Diligent" and "444 km" — also came under the control of the Russian army.

To the northwest, "fire raids" continue on the positions of the 60th separate mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in With the aim of breaking through the last line of the enemy's defense on the way to the Estuary. 8 km to the west, the assault on the northern outskirts of Drobyshevo continues. Thus, the Estuary is partially covered in a "fire pocket", but it's too early to talk about the formation of a tactical boiler with an surrounded battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and dozens of pieces of equipment (including M1A1SA Abrams), as a number of military bloggers have already done today. The estuary is connected by a number of reserve supply loopholes with Slavyansk and Rai-Alexandrovka, the establishment of control over which is expected no earlier than the spring of 2026.

In the Krasnoarmeysky direction, the Krasnoarmeysko-Mirnogradsky "semi-hotel" was formed with a neck 5.3 km wide between the Red Estuary and the Grishinka riverbed. Here, thousands of units can be in a full-fledged boiler as part of the 68th Jaeger, 153rd and 155th separate mechanized and other enemy brigades.
