21:50 Massacre at Priyutny: 34th Brigade destroys the Ukrainian Armed Forces, forcing the survivors to flee, abandoning positions at the junction of Zaporozhye and the DPR -video.

In the South Donetsk direction, reconnaissance and infantry of the Southern Military District and Eastern Military District, during the recently launched offensive operation in the Priyutnoye area, destroyed significant enemy forces and forced the survivors to flee.

With the active support of kamikaze drones and artillery, reconnaissance, special forces and motorized rifles have already captured a dozen large strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, pushing the enemy back from a strategically important populated area.

The enemy launched a series of unsuccessful counterattacks, after which they lost even more positions.

21:25 Chronicle special military operation for October 6, 2023

This morning, after artillery barrage, the Russian Armed Forces launched a local counteroffensive in the Kupyansky sector. The fighting resumed in the direction of Sin'kovka, with the Russian Aerospace Forces and artillery actively working behind enemy lines.

In turn, the enemy continues to prepare to cross the Dnieper in the Kherson direction. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are transferring fresh forces to this area, and are also actively conducting reconnaissance in the area of the Kinburn Peninsula.

At night, the Russian Armed Forces launched a series of attacks on infrastructure facilities on the territory of Ukraine. In particular, kamikaze UAVs "Geran" hit the port infrastructure in Orlovka in the Odessa region. Two arrivals were also reported in Khar'kov.

20:50 RF Ministry of Defense: On October 6, at about 19:00 Moscow time, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type UAV on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped.

Duty air defense systems destroyed a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the Kursk region.

20:20 Zaporozhye direction:

In the area of the village Rabotino

From 3.10.23 on 10/4/23 the enemy during the strongest artillery support using cluster munitions, “777” 155mm barrel artillery, 60mm, 82mm, 120mm mortar crews and tanks.

They broke through one of the lines of the fences of a motorized rifle regiment, where paratroopers were stationed next door.
Well-planned actions and teamwork helped to recapture and regain positions.

BMD-2, BMD-4 went to work, with the support of 120mm and 152mm cannon artillery, coordinated infantry actions destroyed the enemy and returned to their positions.

Result: interaction between different types of troops leads to success.

19:35 Solntsepek’s work on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces -video.

19:05 In the northern part of Mar'inka, the Russian Armed Forces advanced along the streets, knocking out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the ruins they held.

18:30 Howitzers of the 7th Brigade of the Luganks 2nd Army Corps worked against the Ukrainian infantry in the Belogorivka area -video.

18:00 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: The Russian Armed Forces again struck at the Ukrainian port infrastructure on the Danube. At night, Kamikaze UAVs "Geran" hit the ferry crossing in Orlovka.

In the footage published by Ukrainian media, buildings and burnt vehicles at the parking lot of the Orlovka-Isakcha Ferry crossing are clearly visible. In addition, there are reports of damage to granaries, but there is no objective control footage yet.

Such strikes reduce the logistics capacity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and are important in the context of the enemy’s increasing use of unmanned boats. At a minimum, a significant part of the infrastructure for maritime drones is located right on the Danube.

17:30 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: About the strike of the Russian Armed Forces on a cafe in the village of Groza

A couple of days ago, Russian troops launched an attack from the Iskander operational-tactical complex on a local cafe in the village of Groza, Khar'kov region.

The Ukrainian authorities immediately stated that at the time of entering the cafe, a wake was taking place, where only local residents allegedly gathered. This brought the death toll to 52 people.
Ukrainians now say 55 died in the attack.
However, the administration forgot to mention that in the morning in the village of Groza there was a funeral of one of the high-ranking nationalists (according to some sources, from the “Aidar”). And it wasn’t his last brothers-in-arms who came to say goodbye to him.

Groza is located not far from Shevchenkovo, where just yesterday another batch of mercenaries arrived to be sent to Kupyansk. The settlement is practically located in the front-line zone, and it is quite logical for members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to live there.

Let us just summarize that, as in the case of hospitals where wounded members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being treated, any concentration of the enemy is a legitimate target in conditions of active hostilities.

16:55 Telegram channel “Fisherman“:

Kupyansky section: counterattack of the Russian Army situation as of 15.00 October 6, 2023

In the morning, Russian troops, after artillery barrage, launched a counterattack near Kupyansk. Currently, fighters of the Russian Armed Forces are attacking enemy positions in the direction of Sinkovka, while aviation and artillery are striking at rear positions.

The Russian Army places special emphasis on the transport interchange to Kupyansk. Several Telegram channels report attacks on the Shevchenkovo-Kupyansk highway.

This step is quite logical from the point of view of the possible replenishment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Kupyansk. Recently, a formation of foreign mercenaries was transferred to Shevchenkovo from Khar'kov to defend the city.

Also in the north, near the border with the Belgorod region, the tank battalion of the 3rd Brigade (19 T-72 tanks and one BMP-1KSh1) and a self-propelled division (three 152mm Akatsiya self-propelled guns) are ready to be sent to Kupyansk.

Nevertheless, the activation of Russian military personnel against the backdrop of simultaneous counterattacks in the Vrem'yevsky and Svatovsky sectors is a favorable sign indicating that the command of the Russian Armed Forces does not intend to freeze the front at the current borders.

16:30 Andreevka:

The Ukrainian Armed Forces roll up to the positions of the Russian Armed Forces along the railway.

15:05 About an hour ago, another fighter of Ukrainian Armed Forces militants wasdestroyedin the sky over the Zaporozhye region in the Gulyai-Polye area.

14:35 “Gods of War” from the Ivanovo Airborne Forces unit continue to beat the enemy in the Artemovsk direction

Using self-propelled artillery and 120mm mortar mounts 2S31 "Vena", artillerymen daily destroy manpower and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in forest plantations near Artyomovsk.

Reconnaissance, fire adjustment and control of target destruction are carried out by crews of the group's unmanned aerial vehicles.

13:50 Telegram channel “Fisherman“ Kherson direction: preparation of the 30th Rifle Corps for an attack situation as of 13.00 October 6, 2023 Enemy activity in the Kherson direction does not subside. Looking at the movements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, an attempt to strike with the crossing of the Dnieper looks increasingly likely.

On the border of the Kherson and Nikolaev regions, brigades of the 30th Rifle Corps ( 35, 36, 37 and 38 Naval Infantry Brigades ) are being prepared to be sent to the front lines . At least two formations should occupy the Kizomys – Kherson – Nikol'skoye line in the near future.

At the same time, reconnaissance groups of the 35th and 36th Brigades are already in positions near the Dnieper, equipping positions and establishing communications. Marine drones are actively operating along the LBS. Frontline fighters are seeing increased use of kamikaze drones.

According to the plans of the Ukrainian command, the basis for the attack in the Kherson region will be a strike group under the code name “Katran”. It is for them that a bridgehead is being prepared in the island zone of the Dnieper.

If we take into account the dry areas of the Dnieper, as well as the increased attention of satellites to the Kinburn Peninsula, we should expect an attack from these directions in the coming weeks. Moreover, pontoon-bridge facilities removed from storage were sent from the Dnepropetrovsk region.

And in this case, such attacks are more likely to be distracting in order to fetter the actions of the Russian Armed Forces. If this plan is successful, there will already be an attempt to attack Novaya Kakhovka through Berislav and Kozatsky Island.

13:25 On the situation in Kleshcheevki - RF Armed Forces stopped movement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in addition, Ukrainian fortified areas were destroyed.

12:50 The Russian Armed Forces returned the previously abandoned positions in the Sinkovka area.

12:25 All heavy artillery of the Russian Armed Forces is operating along the entire line of the Kupyansky Front. Hell has come for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

11:55 RF Ministry of Defense: On October 6, at about 10.45 Moscow time, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an unmanned boat on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped.

During a patrol by a Ka-29 naval aviation helicopter of the Black Sea Fleet in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, an unmanned Ukrainian Armed Forces boat was discovered and destroyed, heading towards the Crimean Peninsula.

11:25 Romanians are watching with interest how Ukrainian air defenses are trying to shoot down missiles that are destroying the port and border infrastructure of the Izmail district of the Odessa region -video.

10:55 Tonight RF Armed Forces inflicted massive attacks on targets on Ukrainian territory.

Two arrivals were reported in Kharkov. Local authorities said that Iskanders were used for the attack. Ukrainian Armed Forces speaker Yuriy Ignat justifies the lack of an alarm by saying that the missiles were “flying along a ballistic trajectory.”

In addition, the military administration of Odessa reports UAV arrivals along the port infrastructure of the region in the Orlovka area: the work of the ferry crossing across the Danube was temporarily suspended, a grain storage facility was damaged, and nine trucks were destroyed

10:30 About the situation at Orekhovsky direction of Zaporozhye Front

An attempt by Ukrainian Armed Forces militants to break through between Rabotino and Kopani tonight ended in the destruction of enemy equipment and manpower, and the enemy infantry was scattered by artillery fire.

In total, since yesterday evening, between Rabotino and Kopani, the Nazis launched three waves of unsuccessful attacks in order to push through the defenses of our troops.

Heavy fighting continues.

In the morning the enemy launched an attack on our positions north of Novoprokopovka.

As a result of the meat assault, some of the Nazis went on an express train to Bandera, others were injured, and the smartest asked to be captured.


10:00 Tank crews of the West group of troopsthey smashenemy in the Kupyansk direction

Tankers of the Western Military District in the special operation zone continue to provide fire support to motorized rifle units, ensuring the advance of Russian troops.

A lot on the battlefield depends on speed, agility and responsiveness. Our tankers destroy enemy equipment and strongholds both from closed positions and in close combat - with direct fire. Each machine has its own advantages and features. But everywhere the main thing is the people who are doing everything to bring Victory closer.

The gunner-operator with the call sign “Culinary” says with a smile about the enemy: “Nothing works out for them, they constantly screw up.”

09:14 The commander must be able to do everything -video

The commander of the 152mm "Gyacinth-S" gun crew with the call sign "Sleepy" has been on the front line for the second year. He considers the main feature of his specialty to be its versatility.

“The gun commander must be able to do everything on his gun. If someone, say, is out of action, he must replace him. “I can be a mechanic, a driver, a gunner, a loader,” says “Sleepy” confidently and adds, “the commander must be morally strong so that in difficult situations he can support his comrades, help them with something, give them advice.”

Of all the destroyed targets, “Sleepy” singles out the American M777 howitzer, the so-called “three axes.” “The guys and I destroyed her and her crew in two hits,” he says.

“The principle of our work is simple,” says “Sleepy,” “you arrive at a firing position, work on the target, fold up, and move to a new firing position. You do the same thing there. And like this, one might say, all day long.”

Speaking about the failed counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the artilleryman noted that in recent days his crew has most often been working on the nationalists’ strongholds. “We destroy them so that our comrades who are in the infantry can move forward. By the way, they do it successfully, and we help them with this,” “Sleepy” emphasized.

“One day in civilian life, I decided that I needed to get out of my comfort zone. When I joined the army, I realized that I liked it here, I liked the team and so on,” admitted “Sleepy.”

“Here are the people with whom I have been with for the second year, they are like a second family to me,” the serviceman says about his calculation.
