grouping of troops in this direction. it donbas reality, congratulations. ida, ida, ida, let's pass a little at a time. dry there. we meet, we all meet. on contact, we advanced one house, we soldiers of the 80th separate assault brigade, the fifth separate assault brigade, the separate joint assault brigade of the people's police, completed the task, liberated the settlement of klishchiivka, klishchiivka was taken by several ukrainian

brigades, including the tsunami regiment, the recently created assault brigade of the people's police, for the vast majority of its fighters, the storming of the village, the first combat experience, well, we have already entered the village, but to us, well, the guys still have an approach, they cleaned the road, the landing, which leads to a road to enter the village itself, the village is simple, it is not wide, it is very long, that is, everything there is in the palm of your hand and very long the streets are moving, we are moving forward, we are moving forward, well, there is a road there, probably a road, so something is constantly flying, something is landing near you, it is there, well, the shooting range is, it is quite

something like that, not something scary, but there are mines , and the mouth is, well, alive, alive, bitch, and it seems like a second assault, i couldn’t even reach my brothers, or because the fact that my group was covered by cluster shells, and we didn’t even have time to go down to the village , when we were covered, we already started taking measures for evacuation and the like, this group with injuries, well, thank god, these are trifles, the only thing in a close friend of mine was injured, he is seriously 300, but now he is getting back on his feet little by little.

it was more difficult because of the fact that the mortar was working non-stop there, the artillery fire was constant, there was no such thing as a mine, well, a free minute so that nothing would shoot at you, well our biggest losses were from mortars, we pass, pass, thinned out, every event of the group was carefully planned, but the situation changed so dynamically that we almost always had to improvise on the go. any group went on an assault for a day. the task is to recapture as much territory as possible, clear it, gain a foothold and hold it. before the arrival of the infantry. one basement was cleared. someone is knocking out, someone, for example, the same bmps are coming, hostile. he will never

guess what can happen. it's going, take a good look, chey. and let him come closer, closer. so that we can all work, i have six cumulative ones here, well, there are such ones, not that they are single, but there are buildings in which there is still some kind of roof and just the walls are holding on to an honest word, yes, or basements, cesspools, mostly it's shelter, but during an assault, why don't you sit in the basement all the time? therefore, any wall, hole, bump, this is your cover. reset, reset, there was a reset, there was

a reset, everything, everything hums. some houses may simply be empty, some may be decoys, and some may have their own basement, own entrances, own holes. you need to be very careful, shot, all these arrivals are constant, and it's shrapnel, constant some, well, injuries, well , many people, i don't see the point of going, many people, to storm, ugh, with small groups. yes, you are less visible, it is easier to find some positions, there will be a lot of people, well, you will have to look for places somewhere, there are shelters, yours,

yours, house after house, they stormed the house, took a position, the next group came, or rested, and you have to go again, to storm another house, even if they took positions, it is clear that the guys froze because they stormed, they froze and they try to immediately send: the next group to storm them, so as not to let them rest and press, that is, you need to fight back and wait for the infantry, which will be well entrenched, the most important thing is to clear well, first of all , because you will think

that you have cleared it, but somewhere you did not check something and it could only be a non-artto shelling, throw a grenade back here, back home, just throw it into the house here, we don't know what? there, if the house, it is a good reference point, and there is a definite defense, so there were people there, and they sit in the basements in the same way, because , well, the artillery protects the basement much better, and they gradually approached, suppressing fire so that they could not get out and further into... their own, you have to push back from that , what you already see on the spot, well, you have to improvise, look for yourself, see how you should go

, from what position to leave, at what pace you should go and the like, because you also will not go constantly under artillery fire, sometimes you have to wait, stop in the same basement and the like, that's all, let's get out of here in the dark, transitions, we change positions, the most important thing is to hear the commands, you must always give voice. to keep in touch with everyone, with the whole team, so that everyone took their place , for example, there was a grenade launcher standing on stretchers or a machine gunner, that he took his sector and covered the escort group, because even in the case of a counterattack, as the enemy comes at you, then you need to have support from behind so that you are not left alone, on the way, on the way i shoot, pour it, i will run out, a shot,

it hit well, hit two houses and wait infantry, but in fact two houses were recaptured, one house was recaptured, they can make a counterattack, counterattack, we can advance even further, conditionally line up a line, eh, if there is a shovel, there is an opportunity to dig somewhere, you dig, dig everything, the entire entrenchment, you are just looking the same wall, er, hole, you strengthen it, you put something in front of you so that it is difficult for you to get out of there, brush this one, they had their own holes dug there almost near every house, somewhere where there was thick green, i was also a plus there dug trenches, set up their machine guns...

that is, they held on to that land well, part of the way to klishchiivka had to be walked on foot in full gear, and even during the assault itself, the battalion has to move quickly, so the armor should be as light as possible, well, they gave us the first armor , really very good armor, there is kivlar , armor plates, but i think it is not suitable for an attack aircraft, it is more armor for such people as for such people who sit on the defensive, so something like this... you are not so mobile with armor, you cannot go as far as, for example, as now i'm wearing armor, now i'm wearing normal plate carrier, well, you won't carry much with you either, it all depends on your physical preparation, for example, my first assault, i had five grenades, i also had a ford 600, and no, not a ford 600, it was a six-charge grenade launcher, and i had another 40 wogs for it. well, that is, it is physically a little difficult, but i understand that there he really decides, rp,

saves rp, or other such rockets, well , complexes, or the same grenades will be thrown. just going head-on is very dangerous and fire fire damn it, well, look, i'm a grenade launcher, so i take seven magazines with me, plus one magazine in a machine gun, i take cartridges and scatter somewhere up to 200 cartridges, well, i think that every assault should start with a grenade launcher shot, for example, even if you go to capture a building, you need somewhere

well, it’s hard to drag something there, and even then you can see whether there is any movement there, whether there is no, whether it is empty or an empty house or not, and so grenade launchers save lives very much, because we also had the first assault and, unfortunately, my friend already dead, her memory to him, and he too, he then he beat the beha and thereby saved the life of the whole group, because then the enemy landing force could land, and there were conditionally more of them. take a smoke break, evacuating the wounded and dead during the battle is one of the most difficult tasks, no less dangerous than the assault itself. it is necessary for a part of the group to distract, so that they do not fly, while trying to hold their positions, the aggressor country concentrated on a relatively small section of the front, from klishchiivka to andriivka in a straight line, only 3 km, a significant number and equipment, which were effectively knocked out by ukrainian artillery.

the 3rd and 80th brigades offered the enemy a tactic of thousands of cuts, attacking in small groups, in different places , from different directions, day and night, suddenly, moreover, in the first stages, the first few days of the offensive, they did not try to gain a foothold, the attack caused damage to the enemy. and retreated, all this was very well supported by aerial reconnaissance, in particular in terms of application. strike drones, that is, the fact that the enemy got rid of a large number of both combat and special military equipment quickly enough, including machines that are involved in logistical support, let's put it this way, such an operation was very difficult in order to synchronize all these units and they gave

the result that we got, but we managed, after a while everyone got used to it and began to work as one organism, the artillery was constantly working, the enemy was on the occupied heights, and the constant feeding of the enemy's manpower, well, stopped the daily advance, because otherwise they would have neglected their men, in general, and simply their direction. one by one there for an assault, for counterattacks, to repel the positions we had taken before this, the enemy was driven away from populated areas and now they are in an even less suitable territory for defense, that is , they are squeezed on one side from the east, this is

their rear, by the bakhnutka river, and in front of them is a railway track. that is, neither to maneuver nor to clearly attack with armored vehicles through the railway network, well, there is absolutely no possibility, that is, they found themselves in such a physical-geographical-technogenic trap, accordingly, all the logistical routes that the enemy had further south were blocked today they are cut off, except for the road to pokrovka, which is under the legendary fire control, that is, in this case, fire control looks like a trophy for the gunners of tank operators of infantry fighting vehicles, the armed forces of ukraine, who simply shoot everyone who wants to break through with some cargo, on south to bakhovt. to the south

of klishchiivka, the armed forces of the ukrainian ssr simultaneously attacked the village of andriivka by the forces of the third assault brigade, through the large. personnel, the russian command constantly transferred reserves, personnel troops to both settlements, storms, units of lnpr and dpr groups, it was difficult to effectively manage such motley troops, and this also played a role. it started with paratroopers, there were special purpose regiments, but almost all of them, that is, personnel, were military, there were, well. their volks, there from different parts of the moscow region, so to speak, there were lpr , dnr, there was a mix, when the personnel units were running out, they gathered everyone there, absolutely, and into captivity, because absolutely

diverse people were captured, and those , who entered there for the next... they didn't know the situation around the settlement, they just set them the task of going to where our positions could be there for a week, and well, that's it, prisoners, everyone says that they didn't even possessed the situation that exists on the battlefield, the enemy thought that we were already somewhere ahead, and they simply started using their troops to hit the artillery in order to simply prevent our troops from advancing. the most vivid thing was when i saw that after two houses, they arrived at ouazika and came out in t-shirts and shorts, the moment was probably just as vivid.

we drove up and started. to unload, well, in reality, i didn’t even see any weapons in them, oh, ivan russian, purely from a tactical point of view, the 72nd brigade was physically destroyed, all the battalion commanders were killed, many staff officers were killed, including the intelligence chief of the brigade, and those who remained , they are demoralized. and are absolutely not ready to continue hostilities, that is, the result in itself is good, in the 57th and 85th brigades, almost the entire leadership has been knocked out. staff, and they mean senior officers, many officers of the tactical unit, non-commissioned staff, in general, were beaten

personnel losses, the group that tried to hold klishcheivka and andriivka is quite powerful, judging by the information circulating in open sources, the headquarters of the russian group in the bahamud direction, after the battle in klishcheivka and andriivka, cannot figure out where the 1,300 servicemen who died, captured, wounded, abandoned, deserted, now we are going to the position of ukrainian artillerymen , near vakhmut, the offensive from the armed forces continues in this direction, but we must be very careful, because... first of all, look at the sky, because good

there are a lot of drones here, it’s normal, i’m upstairs, i’m loaded, the gun, successful infantry actions would be impossible without the support of artillery, this is both artillery preparation and prevention of attempts by the russian army to counterattack, the work was carried out around the clock, well, sejách a little bit like a war . now, if the war was going on in such a way, storming a few people at a time, everything is more positional, that is why our drones searched for their movements, pre-prepared targets, we did the planned, did not give them the opportunity

to approach, they mostly in the end already went through the move there, they always could not come to us normally, we controlled everything there, all attempts to come here, they mostly ended with the fact that they, let’s say, did not arrive, mostly ended with them, let’s say, not until reached currently , the ukrainian army is trying not only to consolidate its success south of bakhmut, but also to strengthen it, so the artillerymen of the armed forces of ukraine are striking deep into the positions of the occupiers. this cannon shot increased a little, the difficulties to deliver their artillery, the distance increased a little, difficulty in getting their artillery. at the moment it became a little quieter, we took the villages, a little approach.

let's approach the more intensive one, there are no such attempts to repel everything, already towards the end , when we were still in klishchiivka, there were the last two streets, they tried there, there were some attempts, but they ended quickly, and now we are already moving forward, for the most part such mortar calculations work there, the dove is their saushka. tanks were used in different ways during the offensive on klishchiivka and andriivka. sometimes as artillery, firing from closed guns positions before the start of assaults, sometimes directly to support the infantry during the attack. we began to protect ours. tanks, well, because we ourselves understand that the enemy began to use all means to destroy the sitan.

the same task, as in the infantry, there is a certain sector, and it is necessary to work on this sector in order to make, let's say, a rough sweep, and the infantry already approaches and cleans what is left. it already depends, i say, on the task, on what we have, what the enemy is, what means he has, if there are means, what the infantry can hit, accordingly, the tanks stand behind in cover, if there is heavy equipment, accordingly , the tanks are used to destroy this equipment and then they are already launched , for example, a company is divided into two platoon. is going to advance, the third column stands for support, like artillery, ugh, positions are determined, coordinates, targets and timing of the bull are given. gun

, it's probably yours to see a shell explode next to you and your brother is simply wounded, it gives a little to your psyche and to the psyche of this group. the most important thing is to set it up like this, because a person always has fear, he is not excluded, good, alive brother, good, alive, alive, he is, i don’t know what kind of person is this, who is not afraid of anything, and we just have to go, that is, volunteers, like,

policemen, that is, people understood how many, where they were going and what they were preparing for, and training, training, various planned training that allowed them to then perform these tasks, and that they were training daily, even when performing combat tasks, they were training, so they rested and then they start training again, not for a day, without stopping. so that they do not lose the skills they have, a failure in the russian defense has formed between these two villages, i do not know what the commander of the operational-strategic group is planning, but if he has a combat-ready reserve, between the two villages, one should expect another strike that

will allow to break through to the depths and bypass bakhmut from the south, putting the enemy group holding the city, the garrison itself, in an extremely convenient position, and thus push it, either to an urgent retreat, or to surrender, successful actions in the district ticks put the opponents before with the threat of losing kurdyumovka as well, battles are going on there now, horty... went to the northern outskirts of horlivka. according to viktor kevlyuk, in the event that ukrainian troops break through to horlivka and start fighting for the city, the units of the russian troops that occupied donetsk and inakiyevo will have big problems. therefore, now the headquarters of the russian army have something to think about. the situation is more than serious. these were donbas realities, my name is yehor loginov.
