Day 816.
Today there have been many updates from the Bakhmut direction
The most interesting information comes from the northern flank of the city of Chasiv Jar
Here the Ukrainians countered direct Russian attacks on the city and forced them to change their approach in an effort to capture it.
In the past 2 weeks, this frontal section has been dormant, with minimal actions from the Russians, who have decided to halt all attacks with a short operational break
This was done to regroup and gather forces for attacks north of the city from the direction of Bohdanivka and south of Ivanivska.
This decision was made after Ukrainians sent an elite unit of peculiar operations Kraken to the Channel territory where most Russian attacks took place.
Kraken militants posted a video of Chasiv Yar shortly after they were deployed in the area
On the video, we can see the conditions facing Kraken operators and another branches in the Channel District
Russian bombings were not continuous, so Kraken and another troops were moving around town in armored vehicles to designated shooting positions.
Troops on ft must be careful about Russian artillery and drone attacks, so they must run fast in tiny groups to avoid being hit.
During dense air bombardments and artillery shelling, the basements of residential buildings are utilized as shelters for soldiers to wait out until their completion.
We besides see a soldier from Kraken firing a shoulder-armed AT-4 anti-tank weapon from position in the block.
AT-Four has an effective fire scope of 300 metres, suggesting that the Russians manage to approach Ukrainian positions during their storms.
At the same time, Ukrainian artillery and drone operators supply fire support to the canal territory forces, suppressing detected Russian artillery and military concentration.
On films published by the Forty 3rd Artillery Brigade we can see the counterbattery of German work Panzerhaubitsze 2 1000 against 3 Russian artillery guns, D-20, D-30 and uncommon dense mortar “Tylupan”.
‘ We could besides see the demolition of the TOS thermobaric system
It is the most dangerous Russian artillery strategy and is very few, so it is simply a goal of advanced precedence for Ukrainians
As I mentioned in the erstwhile reports, the Russians failed to storm the front of the city in the residential area of the Canal, so they attempted to destruct the bridges over the canal.
As a result, the Russians managed to destruct 2 crossings, 1 in the city and 1 in the north.
However, this caused only a short-term shortage of dense equipment, due to the fact that Ukrainians could rapidly repair bridges.
In addition, there are many tiny makeshift bridges on the canal for infantry, so Ukrainian land troops have no problem strengthening units in the east Channel district.
After destroying bridges over the canal and months of dense bombing, The Russians launched a massive storm on the Channel territory in hopes of breaking and taking over the blockage district.
However, a assault group consisting of six combat BMD infantry wagons was rapidly detected by the Kraken Regiment drone operators.
The drones corrected the fire of the M777 artillery operators of the Kraken branch, who killed 2 of the six BMDs on the road to Chasiv Yar.
When a 3rd of the assault group was destroyed, only 4 BMDs loaded on ft entered the city, and the dismantled infantry headed for the blocks
One of the BMDs was completely destroyed by a customs shot by Kraken's artillery division, killing everyone inside and leaving a burning wreck.
Then another BMD was damaged and immobilized by a precise artillery shelling of Kraken's operators, which led to his abandonment by the crew.
Only 2 BMDs managed to return to their leading positions, but 1 of them was destroyed by a customs artillery shelling, leaving only 1 in six BMD to return.
Several infantry soldiers tried to take positions in the blocks but were rapidly tracked and destroyed.
As a result, the Kraken peculiar Forces branch successfully prevented any Russian attempts to establish a cape in the Kanal district.
The Russians realized that Kraken's forces could not be displaced from the Channel area or cut him off from the supply of bridges.
