Also you should know, that UKR brigades almost don't participate in operations as whole units. The same 93rd brigade fights from Kharkiv to Bakhmut. And elements of 72nd btigade were spotted on Balakliya offensive too. 56th brigade is mot mech., but motorized. Except mech.troops, very important role are playing air-assault troops. At least one BTG of 80th brigade and 25th airborne brigade now on Balakliya axis (other likely in Pisky area and maybe in Kherson area), also on Balakliya axis probably 81st airmobile participates too. BTG of 79th - Siversk area, 46th brigade - Kherson, 95th - Izium (latter two likely in full composition) Thanks for the corrections! I always take the OSINT with a grain of salt, especially because it's hard to see where the brigade's component pieces are located. However, it is at least an indication of where the armor is. Even if inaccurately Yes, I didn't mention infantry of the very important airborne. Having them all of a sudden in Kharkiv is definitely important to note.

Battlefront.com Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 1 hour ago, Haiduk said: RUMINT from Kherson direction I will not translate all text, briefly - units of 20th MRD, which were deployed near Kyselivka and covered the road on Chornobaivka in the night on 8th Sep abandoned own positions without warning of own neighbours and withdrew to Dnieper. Ukrainans didn't spot in time Russian retreat and waste about half day, making recon, but now advance to Kyselivka and Russian arty keeps silence. Other units very angry on 20th MRD, but according to other source, retreated units got an order for redeployment to Inhulets area If this is true, it's exactly what I've been expecting to see once the Ukrainians started to show concrete signs of taking back Kherson. If it isn't true, it soon will be. Assuming this is true, there's two possibilities: they simply broke and ran. Safety in numbers, who is going to stop them? Russia now realizes that a) Kherson is lost and b) they can't stop the Kharkiv offensive so they pulled the unit out and did not make it widely know so as to avoid panicking the suckers that have to stay behind. My vote is for #2. It's a dick move and the Russians are dicks. The unit I'm watching for significant information on is the 45th Spetsnaz in the northeastern corner of the fight. If that unit pulls up stakes and heads for the Dnepr, I think we'll see a total collapse pretty quickly. They might not be large in number, but they represent way more than that. When a moblik sees the elite rats jumping ship, they're not going to want to be far behind. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Vlad I'd wonder where the hell is my Air Force and why they aren't stemming the tide here My guess it that it is a combo of things: - Lack of effective CAS system in the RA - Dispersed UA makes hard to find and hit concentrations - Nasty UA ISR superiority plus wicked next-Gen MANPADS makes getting in and out very dangerous. Add these up and… Oh and getting airfields HIMARed or whatever that was, might also mean the Russian Air Force is also in the process of pulling back.

AH those airfield attacks all part of what is shaping up to be a brilliant offensive...something I can't wait to hear about down the road. I gotta be honest. I have been bouncing about the house for the last week. I cannot thank you guys enough for breaking this offensive down to simpler terms (you guy predicted it a month or so ago) never mind the war down for swabbies like myself. I really appreciate it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
