21:15 Destruction of Ukrainian Armed Forces facility using a light multi-purpose guided missile "Izdeliye-305" in the Ugledar direction
19:27 The Ukrainian Armed Forces may intensify “meat assaults” in the area of the village of Rabotino due to a shortage of equipment and resources: analysis Military chronicle.
The problem with the lack of equipment has been observed before, but with the advent of cold weather it may become worse.
Since October 2, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not carried out serious attacks in the Rabotino-Verbovoye section. According to the Military Chronicle, this is due both to large losses of unit personnel and to an increasing shortage of resources: ammunition, medicine and fuel.
An acute shortage in a number of positions has already necessitated a change in tactics. Before the onset of cold weather, the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may try to carry out a series of powerful attacks using armored vehicles and tanks, similar to those that were repulsed over the previous four months.
The bulk of military equipment, primarily American M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and MaxxPro armored vehicles, are either not used directly in the offensive or are used at night. A significant part of the ammunition, medicine, food and other supplies is delivered exclusively by civilian transport - unarmored pickup trucks and minibuses.
A significant part of such logistics takes place along roads under the fire control of Russian artillery, as well as along plantings that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to occupy in small groups. However, this opportunity may soon be lost: from the beginning of November the weather in Zaporozhye will deteriorate and rain will begin, due to which the routes used since the beginning of the offensive may become unavailable.
In addition, serious offensive actions require concentration of forces and means. Accumulating funds and supplying the group using “mosquito logistics” is difficult and extremely resource-intensive. Many pickup trucks and minivans require a significant number of drivers and fuel. Considering that the fuel and transport infrastructure has been subject to regular attacks since August, the Armed Forces of Ukraine may now already experience a shortage of gasoline and diesel fuel for both military equipment and vehicles.
There is no talk yet of a complete cessation of the offensive, but adjustments in plans due to the approaching thaw are inevitable. Firstly, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already gradually revising plans for the work of “mosquito logistics” so as to be able to deliver to positions several times more weapons and ammunition than now. Apparently they plan to use them in reserve.
Secondly, in the rear areas of Orekhov and Malaya Tokmachka, the fleet of tracked vehicles is gradually being put in order, primarily MT-LB armored personnel carriers, which, presumably, will be entrusted with supplying the advancing units after the onset of rains and cold weather.
“Mosquito logistics” in civil transport existed only due to the higher speed of movement and frequent flights, however, with the onset of the thaw, it will be possible to use this option only within asphalt roads. An alternative method of supply can only be the movement of ammunition on foot groups.
According to Military Chronicle, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is already preparing for an increase in losses in the Rabotino-Verbovoye section due to potential delays in logistics. Additional units for the 116th, 117th and 118th Mechanized Infantry Brigades have been formed since the beginning of September.
These brigades, consisting mainly of forced mobilizations, are the main formations used in “meat assaults” instead of elite formations: the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade “Magura” and the 82nd Specialized Shock Brigade. They, presumably, can receive an order to continue the assaults at any cost if the necessary logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area are not provided due to the weather or strikes by the Russian Armed Forces.
19:11 Explosions occurred in the city of Nikolaev in southern Ukraine. This was reported by the Ukrainian publication “Strana”.
18:47 From the Zaporozhye direction from the Verbovoye - Rabotino area, the Front Bird reports:
“Again there is a definite movement of enemy forces in our direction.

As a result of today's strike, an apartment building and at least four private households were damaged - women and children had to take shelter from the rounds in the basements to avoid casualties. Also, due to the artillery attack, gas supply was disrupted on two streets.
This is what the city itself looks like now - destroyed garages, damaged high-rise buildings. In the last few hours alone, local residents have counted three or four arrivals.
