Russian satellite network reported that the armed forces in Eastern Wudong said that during the battle of Mariinka in the Donbass region, 3 U.S. officers were killed. When the Battle broke out between the Wudong Armed Forces and the 1st Mechanized Battalion of the 54th Brigade of the Ukrainian Army, on the battlefield, the Wudong Armed Forces killed 3 American officers and captured a flag of the U.S. state of Tennessee.
The three U.S. officers killed, Captain Hawker, Lieutenant Shlom, and Lieutenant Toblin, arrived in Ukraine in 2018. Various foreign weapons were also found from them. However, the U.S. side said that the three men, members of the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment in Tennessee, went to Ukraine in 2018 as military advisers. But now that they have returned to the United States, the Russians have only their signed flags.
Now in the Ukrainian battlefield, all 200,000 Russian troops have been fully put into battle, and about 50,000 Ugandan armed forces have also been fully put into battle. For example, in the direction of Kiev, the Russian army was mainly, the 29th Army, including, the 36th Motorized Brigade of the Guards, the 155th Brigade of naval infantry of the Pacific Fleet, the 98th Division of the Guards Airborne Division and the 76th Division of the 76th Division.
The 35th Army from the Far East and Siberia, including, the 127th Motor Rifle Division, the 57th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, the 38th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, the 64th Motor Rifle Brigade, and the Garrison 69th Brigade. The 36th Army, including, the 5th Tank Brigade of the Guards, the 37th Motorized Brigade, 2 Airborne Regiments, and the 61st Naval Infantry Brigade of the Northern Fleet.
The Ukrainian defenders were the 14th Mechanized Brigade, the 4th Mobile Guard Brigade, the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade and the 61st Hunting Brigade. Now, the Russian Guards 1st Tank Army is also heading towards Kiev around Kharkov, ready to increase its forces against Kiev.
If the Russian army really wants to defeat Ukraine, it must take Kiev, so this time the Russian army is mainly to increase its troops in the direction of Kiev. At the same time cut off the Dnieper Line, threatening from behind the 9 elite combat brigades of the Ukrainian army in the Donbass region. The real progress was in Mariupol, where the fighting was fierce and the commander of the Russian 150th Motor Infantry Division was killed in this position. However, the Russians had cut off the city of Mariupol and divided the Ukrainian defenders into two parts.
However, due to logistical supply problems, the progress of the Russian army is relatively slow. Many people have said that the Russian army should open the road with heavy firepower, carry out indiscriminate firepower strikes, and follow up with ground troops. However, this was practically impossible, and the Russian army abandoned carpet bombing tactics in 2014.
Because the effect is so poor, the Russian army believes that the strike effect of 3,000 ordinary shells is not as good as that of 3 precision-guided shells. Carpet shelling looks spectacular, but in fact the battlefield effect is very poor. Not to mention, Ukraine is a country with 30 fortress cities and 600,000 square kilometers.
If you want to fight carpet bombardment, you must at least smash more than 2 million tons, and there is not enough ammunition. The Russian army does not have so much ammunition in reserves, not to mention that the Russian army has only 10 logistics support brigades in total, adding up to more than 4200 trucks. Nor is it possible to support logistical support for carpet mass bombardment. One logistics support brigade can only support 1 rocket artillery brigade and 1 base strike, which is still far from indiscriminate carpet bombardment. Or do you need to do precision strikes and targeted strikes.
As a result, Russian special forces are entering Ukraine in large numbers and have even infiltrated the western part of Ukraine. The goal is to search for Ukrainian targets, make precise positioning, and guide Russian missiles and long-range artillery to carry out precision strikes. This time, the Russian army's 30 cruise missiles hit the Western mercenary camp near Lviv in one fell swoop, killing more than 180 Western mercenaries, which is the result of Russian special forces reconnaissance.
In Mariupol, Russian special forces arrived at the front line to reconnoiter and mark enemy fire points, and heavy self-propelled artillery salvos outside the city were destroyed by name! The Russian army has begun to use the experience of Syrian urban street warfare, first, the Russian special forces entered the Ukrainian military defense zone, reconnoitred the location of the Ukrainian fire point, and carried out accurate positioning.
Subsequently, the Russian heavy self-propelled artillery unit, which obtained the data, violently bombarded various Ukrainian fire points inside the city outside the city, destroying one by one.
