Fight in the area of ​​​​Spornovo near Lisichansk

The Military Chronicle @milchronicles channel published (https://t.me/milchronicles/1327 ) a video of the battle in the LPR. Judging by the footage, the video captures an episode of the September attempt of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack Lisichansk.

All actions take place near the fortified area near the Disputable and are recorded from the drone of the 4th brigade of the NM of the LPR. Thanks to the almost continuous shooting, you can analyze the course of the battle in detail.

First, the Ukrainian MT-LBM drives up to the front line of trenches and lands an assault group with ammunition. The armored car departs, the enemy squad enters the trench.

Coordinates: 48.8082038, 38.2838381

Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving along the trenches in a southerly direction, but they are meeting resistance from Russian military personnel. Close combat begins, both sides throwing hand grenades. A pair of Su-25 ground attack aircraft appears in the sky. Then the enemy shoots down one of the drones of the 4th brigade.

After an unsuccessful attempt to take the fortified area immediately, the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lie in the trenches. Russian artillery 152mm howitzers of the RF Armed Forces begin to work on them, some of the shells hit the trenches exactly. A UAV operator captures the bodies of nine killed members of Ukrainian formations.

▪️The enemy requests the evacuation of the wounded. From the side of the object with a concrete fence, a group of doctors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine moves forward, carrying the wounded from the line of fire. The dead are left lying on the field.

▪️Then the territory of the gas station to the west of the battlefield, which acts as the near rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, gets into the frame. It also begins to hit the Russian artillery, hitting the building with a blue roof.

▪️After evacuating the wounded, the Ukrainian formations resume their attack and try to crawl through. Soldiers of the PMC "Wagner" hit a VAZ vehicle with an RPG, which, apparently, was previously used to transport ammunition.

Coordinates: 48.8080932, 38.2834586

▪️At the enemy's concentration in the northern corner of the trenches, the artillery of the RF Armed Forces again begins to work, sending shells exactly into the trenches. Eight killed and two wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fall into the lens of the drone.

Coordinates: 48.8079953, 38.2836564

▪️From the direction of Volcheyarovka, a Russian T-72 tank drives up, which takes up a position in the clearing and hits the gas station from a closed position. The shells land in the north-eastern part of the facility, where the Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle is stationed.

Coordinates: 48.8088331, 38.2872093

▪️After the failure of the assault, the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreat into a forest plantation. A Su-34 bomber appears in the air, which strikes with ODAB-500 volumetric detonating bombs.

Coordinates: 48.806170, 38.272279

What points can be singled out separately?

The video again demonstrates the importance of fortifications. A well-built fortified area helped the soldiers of the 4th brigade and the Wagner PMC to hold back the enemy’s advance and prevent them from taking an important position.

In the video, Russian troops demonstrated interaction not only at the level of units, but even types of troops. In addition to accurate artillery strikes, VKS aircraft appear in the air twice in one battle.

At the same time, questions may arise about the work of aviation on video. Several Su-34 bombs fell off the target, and the moment of the Su-25 strikes did not hit the frame at all.

Due to the lack of systematic work to suppress Ukrainian air defense (https://t.me/rybar/39327 ) and organizational problems in the current conditions, the VKS bomber regiments on the Su-34 cannot fully demonstrate their full combat potential. Which greatly affects the fire support of the ground forces.
