Battle of Bahemut: drones, large forces and international strife
In Bahemut, a small city that was originally inconspicuous, the war was raging, and the armies of both sides invested more than 100,000 troops, and fierce fighting was raging. Behind the battle, however, is a complex story involving drone technology, the sheer size of the military force, and elements of international strife.
First, let's review the beginning and end of events. Before Zelensky's visit to the United States, he had secretly arrived in Bakhmut and personally went to comfort the Ukrainian troops stationed there. After this news was exposed, the Ukrainian army began a counteroffensive against the Russian army, and with the help of Zelensky's important assistance, they drove the Russian army from the city in just two days, turning the situation around.
Originally, the gains of the Russian army, which took three months to capture, were offset in just two days. The Russian army was forced to retreat to the outskirts of the city of Bahemut, and there was no actual close combat with the Ukrainian army, but mainly long-range artillery battles. Ukrainian troops hold the core of the city, while Russian troops are mainly distributed in the forested areas and industrial areas in the eastern part of the city.
Especially in the Oppotin, this area is strategically vital. Originally occupied by Russian forces, but later recaptured by Ukrainian forces, the two sides are currently engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. The recapture of the O'Pentin area made it difficult for the Russians to carry out a large-scale offensive on Bahemute from the south.
The industrial area of Bahemut, although not densely built, consisting mainly of a small number of factories, became an important point of fighting between the two sides. Ukrainian troops hide inside the city, using drones to guide artillery to shelling. The positions of the Russian army have almost no bunkers, and the bare season of trees exposes them to the fire of the Ukrainian army.
In this seemingly inconspicuous city, more than 100,000 Ukrainian and Russian troops have gathered. The Ukrainian army has assembled brigades with a total strength of more than 60,000, including a mercenary regiment called Mozart, a team from Georgia, and the much-watched "Dudayev Battalion" in Chechnya.
At the same time, the Russian army also has a considerable size in the Bahemute region, and the strength of the Wagner Group has expanded to 50,000 people, plus the Donbass militia, the total strength of the Russian army has exceeded 60,000. The scale of the battle was remarkable beyond Bachemt's strategic importance.
However, more striking is the first appearance of UAVs of Chinese production "MuGin-5" in the Bahemute region. Although the drone was purchased by the Ukrainian army and released on December 24 for the attack on Crimea, the Russian army managed to intercept three of them. The Ukrainian army deliberately drew the red star mark of the Russian army on the "MuGin-5" drone in order to confuse the opponent.
From a technical point of view, the "MuGin-5" series of UAVs adopts a vertical take-off and landing mode, does not require a runway, and has extremely high battlefield adaptability. It has a cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour, a maximum payload of 20 kilograms and a cost of no more than $10,000. In stark contrast to the Russian military's S-300 air defense missile system intercepting these drones, Iran's Shahid 136 UAV costs about $50,000 and cannot withstand the threat of MuGin-5.
This raises a question worth reflecting: why did the Russian army not detect and adopt this excellent UAV earlier? This is undoubtedly more attractive than Iran's drones, and its cost performance is also extremely high.
To sum up, the battlefield situation in Bahemut is extremely complex,
The huge number of troops on both sides and the increasingly fierce competition for technology and equipment made the battle more complicated than ever. However, the fate of this small city is not just a local conflict, it can have far-reaching international implications.
First, let's consider the emergence of drone technology. The Ukrainian "MuGin-5" UAV is not only inexpensive, but also superior in performance to many similar products. Its emergence may change the landscape of modern warfare, so that the military superiority of major powers is no longer the only way to win. It has also raised concerns in the global military community, where other countries could quickly follow suit, leading to the proliferation of drone technology.
Second, the fighting in Bahemut highlights the complexity of international strife. While the armies of both sides consisted mainly of Ukraine and Russia, mercenary regiments from other countries appeared on the battlefield. The involvement of these external forces has complicated the conflict and plunged the international community into contradictions. Bahemut could become the focus of international disputes, triggering more countries to intervene.
Finally, the fighting in Bahemut transformed the regional and international landscape. This small city was originally humble, but now it has become the stage of international politics. Its fate will affect the fate of many countries and could have far-reaching implications for global stability. The international community needs to pay close attention to the progress of this incident and take appropriate measures to maintain regional peace and stability.
To sum up, the fighting in Bahemut is not just a local conflict, it contains multiple factors such as technology, international politics and global security. We will continue to follow the development of this incident in the hope that it will eventually be resolved peacefully and avoid greater destruction and humanitarian catastrophe.
Views and opinion analysis on this matter:
More than a regional armed conflict, the fighting in Bahemut reflects the rapid development of modern military technology and the intricacies of international politics. First, breakthroughs in drone technology have given small countries the ability to challenge large countries on the battlefield. The spread of this technology could lead to future conflicts becoming more complex and no longer subject to the military superiority of the great powers.
Second, the involvement of external forces has made regional conflicts more chaotic. The presence of mercenary regiments makes it possible for participants on the battlefield to be limited not only to national armies, but also to individuals from other countries. This situation is prone to international disputes and makes it more difficult to resolve conflicts.
Finally, the battle in Bahemut shows that even a small city can become the focus of international politics. The international community needs to be more actively engaged in finding peaceful solutions in order to avoid the escalation of conflicts that cause greater destruction and humanitarian catastrophe. It is also a reminder that we must pay close attention to regional conflicts in order to maintain global peace and security.
