21:05 Representative office of the DPR: Ukrainian troops fired five more rockets from the MLRS at Gorlovka

19:59 Another confirmation of the barbarism and inhumanity of the Kyiv regime, controlled from London: the fragments of the Storm Shadow rocket, aimed at the Dnipro children's health camp on the Arabat Spit. One rocket was shot down, but two still reached the target. As a result, one person died, another was injured -video

The numbers and markings on the wreckage clearly show that these are English missiles delivered to the Kyiv regime.

Think about it: according to our data, the rockets flew to Berdyansk, but then they were specifically redirected to the children's camp. This despite the fact that the summer recreational season for schoolchildren has already begun. Rockets that bring death to children.

All this will be poured into the Kyiv regime and its curators in the decisions of the international military tribunal.

19:55 ATGM "Kornet-D1": storm "Bradley" and "Leopardov"

The anti-tank missile system "Kornet-D1" is designed to destroy tanks and other armored targets, including those equipped with modern means of dynamic protection.

In addition, the Kornet allows you to destroy fortifications, manpower in shelters, and even low-speed low-flying targets at a distance of up to 10 kilometers.

The combat vehicle is equipped with two automatic retractable launchers with sighting systems for four containers with ATGMs each. The complex is capable of firing simultaneously at two targets spaced along the front, range and elevation.

Due to the combination of high mobility and cross-country ability, the Kornet-D1 on the wheelbase of the Tiger-M armored car has proven itself in combat operations, however, the modular design of anti-tank systems allows you to create a complex on any carrier that has the appropriate carrying capacity and internal space.

18:46 Take a step forward: anti-aircraft gunners destroy air targets in the Zaporozhye direction -video

The crews of the Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile systems provide reliable cover for our troops from any threats from the air.

The medium-range complex scans the sky for tens of kilometers. "Buk" can take on escort and destroy several targets at once.

This calculation has already shot down more than 26 targets - enemy aircraft, drones, cruise missiles.

17:40 In our disposal turned out to be a manual of Kyiv propagandists on how to properly cover the so-called. "counteroffensive", more precisely - its failure.

The general meaning is a ban on highlighting losses and problems, blowing more victorious fanfare and glorifying power. And, of course, to belittle Russia and Russians.

17:37 Air defense on the Arabat Spit will be strengthened after today's artillery attack of a children's recreation center - the administration of the Kherson region -video

Information about casualties and destruction is being specified.

15:43 Summary according to the situation at the front.

According to the latest data, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to disseminate among the personnel of 92 Separate Mechanized Brigade (1, 2, 3 mbr, 1.2 sb, 22 Separate Special Forces Brigade), currently operating in the Kuzemovsky direction, false information about the movement of the brigade to the point of permanent deployment, for recovery of combat capability, rest and rotation.

In fact, no one is going to provide any respite and restoration of the 92nd Brigade. "out of the frying pan into the fire".

At the same time, it is planned to forcibly call up to 20,000 people in the temporarily occupied by Kiev territory of the Zaporozhye region, in parallel with this, in the Kirovohrad, Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk regions, efforts are being stepped up to issue subpoenas in crowded places and checkpoints.

The mobilized are supposed to be sent to the western regions of Ukraine for a short training program, with subsequent transfer to combat units.

Important: the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine continues to prepare for attacks on cities in the border regions of the Russian Federation, it is planned to use, in particular, the Mujin-3 and Reis UAVs, while simultaneously using the terrorist organization Russian Volunteer Corps controlled by the Main Intelligence Directorate territories of the Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions, to switch public attention from the failed start of the offensive on the Zaporozhye front.

These plans do not have the slightest tactical sense and pursue exclusively media goals.

Before the missile hits, the enemy tank manages to fire one shot, after which it flies epic into the air.

13:00 Orekhovsky section: setting as of 13.00 June 9, 2023

- For more than a day now, intense battles have been going on at the turn of Rabotino - Verbovoye. Assault groups of the 65th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been trying to break through the defenses of the 291st Regiment of the RF Armed Forces since late at night.

Ukrainian formations concentrated their efforts specifically on one area, sending reserves and manpower to capture one strong point.

Because of this, the fighters of the RF Armed Forces retreated to reserve positions. However, after that, artillery and aviation worked out against the enemy, who was trying to gain a foothold on the lines taken. As a result, the APU retreated with heavy losses.

- Toward morning, the enemy resumed attacks on Rabotino with the forces of 65 Separate Mechanized Brigade. At the same time, an armored group of 47 ombres on Leopard 2A4 tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles began an assault on strongholds between Rabotino and Verbov.

The strike group of the 65th brigade was able to squeeze out the Russian units from the first position: at the moment, artillery is actively working on the Ukrainian formation. To the right, servicemen of the RF Armed Forces destroyed one Leopard tank and three Bradleys, driving the forces of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade back to their starting lines.

- At the Kamensky Armed Forces of Ukraine, they tried to dig in the village of Lobkove, pulling up armored vehicles there. The reconnaissance groups of the RF Armed Forces discovered the accumulation of the enemy and called for fire on him. As a result, the 2nd company of the 128th Guards Rifle Brigade retreated, and Lobkovoe itself again found itself in the “gray zone”.

In total, according to preliminary estimates, in a few days of fighting in the Zaporozhye direction, the Russian army destroyed 45 tanks and 42 other enemy armored vehicles.


12:49 Avdievka direction. Reports NGP INTELLIGENCE

The enemy plans to go on the offensive in the Avdeevsky direction, with the forces of up to two RTGs of the 1st mechanized battalion of the 53rd Brigade in the direction of the village of Opytnoye - the Khimik station.

The task of the enemy is to take over the settlement of Experienced and go on the offensive in the direction of the settlement of Rozovka - Novobakhmutovka.

To this end, the enemy prepared an assault detachment of the MTR "Vostok" numbering up to a platoon, as well as up to six units of armored combat vehicles (Presumably, this is a "Humvee" with ATGMs and heavy machine guns installed on board).

Since these forces are clearly not enough to successfully break through the defense, the enemy prepared a fire support company from the 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade, reinforced by 2 rifle platoons of the 418th Osb.

It is traditionally planned to “soften positions” and clear mines by the defense forces: units of the 106th and 109th brigades.

Also, the forces of the 1st Brigade are planning to attack along the line of the settlement Novokalinovka - Bortsy - Novobakhmutovka, traditionally, it is planned to involve the 129th brigade of the defense for the meat assault.

Thus, the enemy plans to regain some of the previously lost positions, temporarily eliminate the threat of encirclement of Avdiivka and, under favorable circumstances, reach the western outskirts of Donetsk.

It is noteworthy that, as in all other directions, the enemy is not going to reckon with the losses of the territorial defense units, throwing them to storm the prepared defensive positions of the RF Armed Forces, trying to “clear” the way for personnel units.


12:13 Enemy offensive: during counterattacks and massive fire strikes of the Russian army, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to retreat from Lobkove

- Fighting in the Vasilyevsky district of the Zaporozhye region continues

- After the start of the offensive from Kamenka in the direction of Zherebyanka and Pyatikhatka, the enemy managed to occupy part of the gray zone in the Lobkove area and began to dig in on the southern outskirts of the "no one's" abandoned village. The enemy also sent infantry fighting vehicles to take up positions around the settlement in the gray zone.

“Our reconnaissance uncovered positions that were constantly being hit by artillery fire.

- The 128th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was forced to withdraw the 2nd company of the 6th battalion due to significant losses.

- During the fire and counterattacking actions of the forces of the 58th Army of the Southern Military District, the enemy abandoned positions and retreated from the settlement. Pubic, which again moved into the “gray zone”.

- The enemy was supported by howitzers and MLRS from the Kamenka area, some of them were opened and destroyed in firing positions.

12:05 Attack helicopters of the Russian Aerospace Forces destroy NATO tanks while repelling an offensive -video

With a well-aimed blow, the pilots destroyed a Western-made armored vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along with the crew inside.

12:01 It became known that on the Dnieper near the Kherson region, the chief of staff of the volunteer detachment "Themis" of the 124th Brigade of the territorial defense Vladimir Kavulich and at least one other serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine drowned.

11:45 Fierce battles continue in the Zaporozhye region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are making new attempts to break through the Russian defenses, Rogov said.

According to him, the Ukrainian military failed to achieve significant tactical advances, the front line remains stable.

11:42 What you need to understand about the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: analysismilitary chronicle.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are striking in several sectors of the front for the fifth day. It is not possible to achieve success, but it is still too early to talk about the end of the offensive. Why?

How long will the offensive last?

Active hostilities are on the fifth day. Despite the failures of several major attacks in Zaporozhye, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have so far stuck to their plan, attacking in the same areas. However, there is reason to believe that the experience of unsuccessful attacks will be analyzed by the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the coming days and the actions of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will change.

It is possible that reserves will be brought into battle, tactics will change, or a new sector of the front will be activated. The active phase of the offensive, announced as strikes along the entire front line, can last up to 10-15 days.

What are the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the offensive?

In less than a week, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in all sectors of the offensive amount to about one reinforced battalion per day - 800-1000 people + equipment. Thus, during the five days of the offensive, the Ukrainian troops lost about 4,000-5,000 people killed and wounded, that is, a reinforced mechanized brigade.

So far, data on the preparation of three army corps as an offensive reserve has not been confirmed. Units and formations that have already taken part in the defense of various sectors of the front are thrown into the offensive. Some units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for example, the 36th and 37th Naval Infantry brigades (OBrMP), the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade, abandoned in Zaporizhia, were twice withdrawn for resupply before the start of the offensive due to heavy losses.

The quality of mobilized recruits in these (and not only these) units is several times lower than before the start of the special operation, which directly affects the combat effectiveness of the formations.

What will the APU do next?

A series of attacks carried out in the Zaporozhye direction suggests that the Ukrainian army, despite the increased number of attacking units, continues to look for a gap in the defensive lines of the RF Armed Forces.

An attack in the same direction for each company-tactical group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (in total, about five of them can operate in the direction of the main strike at the moment) is carried out at least twice, after which reserves arrive at the site of the destroyed formation.

These reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not infinite, however, it will take time for them to be ground in attacks. The effectiveness of the actions of artillery and aviation of the RF Armed Forces in this case is at its best: in one night flight, the Ka-52 combat helicopter destroys five to seven targets, including tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. However, even under such conditions, the intensity of the battles remains high. In the coming days, the APU will intensify attacks.

How is the defensive line of the RF Armed Forces arranged?

The Russian defenses that we talked about earlier are built along the dominant heights and ridges. The defensive line consists of dozens of lines, echeloned to a depth of 25-30 km and covered by a significant number of engineering barriers.

At the moment, the main problem of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is that it is almost impossible to approach the first line of defense due to the mines laid, the activity of artillery, aviation of the RF Armed Forces and due to the operation of electronic warfare systems that suppress communications and GPS navigation signals, as well as control channels drones.

The situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is also aggravated by the fact that the Ukrainian military (for example, the 31st separate mechanized brigade), who are ambushed or under fire from artillery, requesting help through available communication channels, rush to the battlefield and actively surrender, which demotivates the reserves and negatively affects the effectiveness of the attack.


11:19 Russian troops smash the enemy in the Kupyansk direction

On the third day, the Russian fighters decided to break through: “And under mortar explosions, we came out. They came out, thank God, alive. Everything is fine,” continues the “Chief”.
