15:30 Vremyevsky section setting as of 14.00 August 15, 2023:

After the withdrawal of Russian troops from Harvest, the village moved into the gray zone. Confident control of the enemy is maintained only on the northern outskirts, in the south the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to dig in, but they are being hit by artillery and aircraft.

Nevertheless, two DRGs from the 35th and 37th Infantry regiments, supported by artillery using cluster munitions, attacked the positions of the Russian Armed Forces near Zavitne Bazhenya, but the attack was repulsed. At the same time, a Ukrainian R18 drone was operating in the air.

Judging by the movements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the offensive in the Vremievsky sector will resume soon. And there can be several directions of impact in this direction. Assault groups of 128 mod trot arrived in Staromayorskoe along with anti-tank systems and machine guns.

Also, units of the 1st Brigade, including large-caliber mortars, were moved to Urozhaynoye, formations of the 31st Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine appeared on the Priyutnoye site.

Considering the foregoing, an enemy offensive should be expected immediately in at least three directions: Priyutnoye, Staromlinovka and Novodonetskoye (artillerymen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine increased the intensity of fire with cluster rounds along the line).

And if we take into account the introduction of the Marun tactical group in the Orekhovsky sector, an attempt to break through to the Sea of Azov can begin as soon as possible.


15:00 Statement of head of the press center of the group "South":

Su-25 aircraft of the attack aviation of the "Southern" group of forces hit the accumulations of manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Lisichansk, Soledaro-Artemovsky, Aleksandro-Kalinovsky, Avdeevsky and Maryinsky directions.

The artillery of the group hit the position of the AGS-17 grenade launcher crew near the village of Vesyoloye, three enemy pickup trucks in Belogorovka and Krasnogorovka, and the control center for unmanned aerial vehicles in Pervomaisky.

During the counterbattery fight, 120mm mortars with crews in the areas of Avdievka and Tonen'koye were destroyed.

Unmanned aerial vehicles with an ammunition drop device hit a stronghold and an infantry group of the 3rd Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the settlement of Krasnoe.

FPV drones destroyed an enemy machine-gun crew in the Kleshcheevka area and an infantry fighting vehicle in Andreevka.


14:25 Battle for Urozhaynoye continues:

Ukrainian forces are suffering colossal losses.

Soldiers of the Vostok battalion report on the situation on the Vremievsky ledge at the junction of Zaporozhye and the DPR.

“Yesterday both sides used all their resources – today they are replenishing. Involuntarily there was a brief respite. Sympathy does not come to visit on the battlefield, but seeing how much damage the enemy is taking in Urozhaynoye, we experienced feelings that are difficult to describe. We lacked infantry and equipment, but we had enough means of destruction to grind up a significant part of what the enemy threw at the capture of the village. Urozhaynoye resembled a meat grinder, which included living people, and minced meat came out.

The number of destroyed and damaged equipment was not calculated in units. A very specific residue remained: We lost Urozhayne, and at the same time caused such damage that part of our consciousness refuses to understand the motives of the Ukrainian command. So only those who hate them more than ours can drive their own to slaughter.


13:55 Ukrainian formations tried to strike in the Bryansk region:

Three aircraft-type UAVs were found at night and shot down near the village of Zhiryatino. There were no casualties and no damage.

13:25 Orekhovsky area setting as of 13.00 August 15, 2023:

South of Orekhovo, the consolidated units of the 46th detachment, 118th detachment and 15th detachment of the NGU continue their attacks near Rabotino. To the east of the village, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to gain a foothold in strongholds a few kilometers away, hiding behind landings.

Also, attempts by the DRG of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to enter Rabotino itself became more and more frequent. On the northeastern outskirts, Ukrainian detachments, under cover of fire with cluster munitions, are rolling into the village. Forest belts adjoin the settlement, and the enemy moves along them.

Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to develop the offensive further. Additional forces of their 10 Army Corpss, as well as the Marun tactical group, were pulled to Malaya Tokmachka, the paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Brigade of which had already fallen into a meat grinder near the village.

Also, new Starlink terminals have been deployed in Malaya Tokmachka, and training and coordination of assault units continues at the training ground in Upper Tersa, which are likely to go into battle in the event of at least some success at Rabotino.

Judging by the wedging of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the east of the village, the Ukrainian command wants to take Rabotino into a semi-encirclement and strike with a mechanized fist in the direction of Tokmak. However, the appearance of the Marun TGr at this stage makes one think that the enemy’s plans had to be adjusted due to losses of 118 Separate Mechanazied Brigade.


13:00 Statement of head of the press center of the group "West":

In order to restore the lost positions in the Kupyansk direction, the enemy during the day carried out five counterattacks by units of the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 95th Separate Air Assault Brigade against our positions in the area of the village of Sin'kovka, the Man'kovka tract and the forest of Usy.

All counterattacks were thwarted by inflicting preemptive fire damage by the artillery of the group. Enemy losses amounted to an infantry platoon.

In the defense zone of the 1st Tank Army, the enemy assault groups of the 44th Separate Mechanized Brigade attacked our positions twice in the vicinity of the Novoselovskoye settlement. The advance of the enemy was opened in a timely manner, the fire of the 152mm towed howitzers "Gyatsint-B" and 152mm self-propelled artillery mounts "Msta-S" inflicted a fire defeat, the attacks were repelled, destroyed to a platoon of manpower.

The crews of Ka-52 and Mi-35 attack helicopters of the Zapad grouping of forces delivered twelve air strikes against accumulations of manpower and firepower of units of the 14th, 32nd separate mechanized brigades and territorial defense units in the area of the settlements of Sin'kovka, Stelmahovka and Kislovka.


12:30 Rybar: the worst thing that can be done in the context of ongoing heavy fighting on several sectors of the front is to engage in hat-throwing, talk about the failure of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and share the skin of an unkilled bear. This is what, it seems, a certain deputy Andrei Gurulev did.

Take a look at least a set of stamps in a typical publication: NATO does not know how to fight, and the Alliance's strategy is bad, and Western weapons are "junk". Side by side, of course, there were stories about the best Russian weapons in the world and firing from S-300s at M777 howitzers.

The problem is not only that it is precisely such beliefs about a stupid opponent and "analogue" that led to sensitive failures on the battlefield last year. After all, such passages actually devalue the real achievements of the army and industry.

And while in the Zaporozhye region, HIMARS fighters hold back the onslaught of Bradley and Stryker, and defense factories work in three shifts to provide the troops with what they need, some expert says that the war, it turns out, is going on with a useless and not a serious enemy.

Of course, in comparison with previous times, there are still significantly fewer such odious statements in the domestic media field. But such a ride on a rake must be stopped in the bud: it cannot lead to anything good a priori.

12:05 Scouts of the "White Wolves" grouping "O" without a fight took enemy positions in the Krasnolimansky direction:

At the approach of our fighters, the enemy fled from their fortifications, leaving their belongings there. Our guys have captured a lot of grenades, machine guns and grenade launchers, including those in service with NATO.

11:30 Destruction of Marder infantry fighting vehicle and Stryker armored personnel carrier at the Orekhovsky site:

This morning, the Zaporozhye Front posted footage of the work of the operators of the Lancet loitering rounds on enemy armored vehicles. Judging by the characteristic machine gun turret, a Stryker armored personnel carrier was destroyed by a drone.

Coordinates: 47.4664158, 35.8700339

This is the first recorded defeat of the American armored personnel carriers at the front after their transfer to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to some reports, the Strykers were supplied to the 82nd Airborne Assault Brigade of the Airborne Forces of Ukraine.

The 82nd Airborne Brigade itself is part of the so-called Maroon tactical group, which also includes the 46th Separate Airmobile and 71st Jaeger Brigades, as well as 132nd Reconnaissance Battalion. Until that moment, only the 4th battalion of the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade was involved in the battles.

Also on the footage published by the Archangel of the Spetsnaz, you can see the German infantry fighting vehicle Marder, which came under attack east of Rabotino, where in recent days the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been storming strongholds and trying to gain a foothold.

Coordinates: 47.456537768597656, 35.86561988467449

"Marders" are also in service with units of 82 Separate Air Assault Brigade. The appearance of armored vehicles of these types indirectly confirms the fact of a more massive introduction of the Marun TGr into battle. Initially, this formation was planned to be used by the second wave in the Pologovsky area. And their involvement in Rabotino now does not come from a good life.


10:58 Zaporozhye direction at 10:00:

n.p. Rabotino - during the night, the enemy again went on the assault after processing our positions with cluster munitions, but was stopped and destroyed.

At night, the Marder and Leopard infantry fighting vehicles were burned, judging by the radio interceptions at night, the enemy was doing poorly, a large number of those killed (up to 70 people).

In the morning there was another wave of offensive, the enemy began to do it more often.

n.p. Pyatikhatki - the enemy began to move to the old positions where they sank a little, went to our minefields, sat down in shelters, they were being shelled.

In the morning, a group that controls combat drones was destroyed, they landed in pickup trucks, went into the house and were destroyed by artillery.

In this section of the direction, the enemy also intensified sorties and small runs in small groups.


10:30 In the Belogorovsk direction, the artillery of the seventh brigade of the “South” group of troops worked out using the Ukrainian Khokhl technique -video.

10:05 Statement of head of the press center of the Dnepr grouping:

The artillery of the Dnepr group, as well as the crews of the Lancet unmanned aerial vehicles, as part of the counter-battery fight against the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson direction, identified and destroyed three 120mm 2B11 mortars with crews near the village of Ponyatovka, as well as a towed 155mm howitzer M777 manufactured in the USA on the outskirts of the village of Tomina Balka.

In the area of the settlement of Kazachi Lagery, Russian servicemen thwarted an attempt to transfer a sabotage group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a high-speed boat. The ship was successfully destroyed by coastal artillery fire.
