[ColonelCassad] Today I watched a video from RT
about the combat work of the Nimble Volunteer Special Forces group "Akhmat" in the forest area south of the "Novoe" microdistrict in Chasov Yar.
Akhmat is a Chechen unit, self identified as special operations troops. I consider them fanatics.
Ok. But are they berserker cannon fodder, or fanatics with the skills they claim?
The old camp "Chasovyarovets", located in the forest area "Donnaya Balka", has long been a large fortified area of ​​the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which drank a lot of blood from units of the Russian army during the battle for Chasov Yar. During the summer campaign, the above-mentioned forest was literally teeming with personnel, electronic warfare systems and enemy equipment. Hexacopters and FPV drones were launched from there, the operators themselves used well-prepared shelters that saved them from artillery strikes.

Entering the forest (in the slang of the direction it was also called the "southern faggot forest") at the time of the summer campaign was practically impossible due to the convenient location of the forest itself behind the "Seversky Donetsk-Donbass" canal, which was also a serious fortified area of ​​the enemy - a huge number of fortified positions were dug along the canal line, the defeat of which was difficult due to the specifics of their location under the canal pipe (by the way, the pipe itself was actively used by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to move out of sight of UAVs).

At a certain point, the attack aircraft managed to break the enemy's defense in this section of the canal, after which the fighting moved to the outskirts of the forest. Since the Armed Forces of Ukraine at that time began to lose city blocks and there was a complication in the supply and evacuation from the "southern faggot forest", the number of enemies there significantly decreased - instead of them, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to more actively use strike FPVs, in which, unfortunately, they do not experience a shortage.

As the city blocks "fell away" and the assault groups entered the forest, we managed to push through the remnants of the enemy's defense, and the "icing on the cake" was the assault on the buildings of the "Chasovyarovets" camp, shown in the RT report. In the summer, this camp had a powerful electronic warfare system, which did not allow our units to conduct reconnaissance properly. Perhaps one of the city's defense PPUs was located there (although the main ones were in the five-story block until about September, after which the garrison leadership had to change its location due to frequent FAB of the area).

I would like to congratulate our colleagues on taking an important fortified area, which at one time caused us a lot of problems. There will be more to come, the fall of Chasy Yar is just around the corner, and after taking control of the city, certain opportunities for further work will open up for us.

We continue to work in this direction.
