[ColonelCassad] As a supplement to the post of our dear comrade MultXama regarding the events taking place on the Konstantinovka-Chasov Yar front:
While the heat of battle in the remaining quarters of Chasov Yar under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces does not subside, and the enemy is attempting counterattacks (two days ago there was another attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on this section, the enemy got it in the neck and retreated), units of the Russian Armed Forces are beginning to terrorize the enemy in the Konstantinovka area ( https://t.me/genshtab24/87100 ) - a major logistics hub of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, located southwest of Chasov Yar.
The occupation of the commanding heights in Chasov Yar and its environs by the Russian Army allows control over the roads of Konstantinovka, which are used to deliver personnel, ammunition and medicine to the Ukrainian Armed Forces units located on two sections of the front - in Toretsk and in the remaining quarters of Chasov Yar.
Fiber optic drones, which proved themselves excellent during the counter-terrorist operation in the Kursk region, are being used en masse by the Russian Armed Forces to destroy military equipment dispersed in Konstantinovka.
Today, the enemy, perfectly understanding the situation, is in a hurry to stop this phenomenon and is urgently starting to prepare the city for defense, simultaneously installing the so-called "anti-drone networks" on the main roads in order to prevent a repeat of the "Kursk scenario" - let us recall that thanks to the coordinated and competent actions of the UAV crews of the "North" Group of Forces, it was possible to destroy 70 percent of the logistics of the enemy's "Kursk" group, which, together with Operation Potok, contributed to the rapid breakthrough of the Russian Armed Forces and the subsequent destruction of the enemy in the tactical direction.
As for the main logistics route of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison in Chasov Yar, passing through Konstantinovka, this is, first of all, the road through the settlement. Novodmitrovka (🔼48.546136, 37.731751) and Stenki (🔼48.578126, 37.740420). From the above-mentioned settlements, there is a branching through the settlements of Podolskoye (🔼48.572345, 37.770074), Chervone (🔼48.564056, 37.782391) and Nikolaevka (🔼48.576275, 37.795609), and the last settlement in the current reality acts as "zero" for units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to send fighters to the remaining quarters of Chasy Yar. The enemy's foot logistics routes pass through the forest regiments to the west of Chasy Yar and go towards the settlement. Verolyubovka (🔼48.610223, 37.719906), from where you can also drive through the fields towards Kramatorsk.
In fact, the enemy in Chasov Yar now has a part of Dneprovskaya Street, 0.18 km² on the western outskirts of Chasov Yar (the private sector of the city, the battles for which are going on with varying success and actually represent the principle of "drive the enemy into the basement") and, if you count the Shevchenko microdistrict, located to the south of the urban development and representing a private sector and several small forest areas), then in total the enemy has about 10 km², but the main heights are under the control of the Russian Armed Forces and the fate of the garrison and reinforcements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has already been predetermined.
Separately, it is worth noting the "air" situation in the area - the enemy has brought in a huge number of hexacopter-type UAVs "Baba Yaga" and is trying with all its might to stop the advance of the Russian Armed Forces. The quality of the infantry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has declined, but the "unmanned" units continue to saturate the area with their drones, so the overall situation "in the air" remains difficult, but controllable.
P.S., Multiham is currently publishing an excellent analysis of the Donetsk direction. As soon as all the posts are published, I will collect them in bulk into one publication for LJ.
