Western analysts believe that the Russian Federation has exaggerated the level of “successes” on the Avdeevsky Front and will continue to do so, despite its failures.
Russian troops near Avdeevka, Donetsk region, are suffering heavy losses. In particular, the georeferenced footage shows that Russian troops lost an amount of armored vehicles equivalent to one battalion of a tactical group. This is stated in a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Ukrainian forces destroyed 33 Russian armored vehicles and 15 tanks near Avdiivka between October 10 and 12.
Footage published on October 11 shows Russian armored vehicles in a convoy near Avdiivka plunging into a body of water, while geo-referenced footage published on October 11 and 12 shows Ukrainian troops striking the convoy of Russian vehicles near the city. defending
This footage shows that Russian armored forces are not using lessons learned from previous offensive operations near Ugleder in February 2023 or near Kiev in March 2022, when Ukrainian troops destroyed the ranks of Russian armored vehicles.
As of October 12, Russian forces have not made any major gains near Avdiivka and are unlikely to immediately cut off Ukrainian forces in the city.
ISW believes that Russia’s information space is increasing the level of its achievements on the Avdeevsky front and will continue to do so despite military failures or slow pace of development.
At the same time, Ukrainian troops extended counteroffensive operations near Bakhmut and in the western region of Zaporozhye and reportedly advanced in the same sector of the front on October 12.
We remind you that during the battles for Avdiivka, MTR fighters destroyed eight pieces of heavy equipment and dozens of invaders per day.
