Today, the biggest news comes from the Huliaipole direction. 

Here, Russian forces are reigniting their infamous mechanized offensives in a desperate bid to overturn their stalling progress. Ukrainians however, are demonstrating furiously how they seek to counter Russia’s new plans. 

Recently released footage shows how Russian forces are massively up-armoring their remaining armored vehicle reserves, trying to protect them against Ukrainian strikes. Rollers mounted on the front of the tanks are meant to trigger Ukrainian anti-tank mines and other explosives from destroying either the vehicle itself or its tracks. Massive cages mounted with steel wires protruding from them like a porcupine add several layers of additional defenses against incoming Ukrainian FPV drones. While these provide effective cover for the tanks, any gaps left in the armor for any reason at all become an immediate target for Ukrainian pilots. Additionally, Ukrainians have discovered that while the extra armor cages around the vehicle protect it against direct strikes, dropped munitions are extremely effective against them. Through this, vehicles are quickly struck and immobilized as the crew and infantry assault groups are forced to dismount the now compromised vehicle. If this happens in the middle of a field as is often the case, the Russian foot soldiers are as good as dead with Ukrainian kamikaze drones swarming around the massive target. 

In this sector, Russians are targeting the provincial capital of Zaporizhia city. Defended by the newly repositioned Ukrainian seventh air assault army corps, the area is quickly becoming a new focal point for the Russian autumn offensive. All across the corps new area of responsibility, Russian forces have been launching these probing assaults with heavily up-armored mechanized vehicles. Frequently these attacks are accompanied by Russian soldiers driving motorbikes or other all-terrain vehicles, trying to quickly advance and make it to forward positions while the big armored tank soaks up Ukrainian fire and attention. However as Ukrainians have repeatedly shown, these fast-moving Russian assaulters rarely make it to their mission target alive. 

The reason for the sudden reversal of Russian infiltration tactics is explained by Ukraine’s Azov Army Corps Commander Denys Prokopenko. He recently discussed how the autumn season completely removes the foliage on the tree lines and forests that cover Ukraine’s southern and eastern fields. This foliage has been a crucial component in the Russian infiltration tactics that they have been using during the spring and summer months over the past two years, as it made detection of Russian infantry significantly more difficult. Additionally, the approaching autumn rains will turn much of Ukraine’s eastern fields into a thick and deep mud in the low grounds. This in turn further limits the possible avenues for infiltration to high ground only, making it easier for Ukrainians to concentrate their efforts on detecting advancing enemy soldiers. Coincidentally, high ground also means much stronger signal strength for Ukrainian drones, reducing their reliance on repeater drones or high-placed antennas. 

As infiltrations become less viable as an effective offensive tactic for Russia, armored assaults remain as the only option to sustain offensive pressure on Ukraine. However, as the war continues to develop and evolve, they must first find counters to all of Ukraine’s new weapon systems and tactics. These first assaults have primarily used existing Russian tactics they used last year to try and advance with their armored vehicles. As Ukrainians have expertly demonstrated that they are able to effectively counter these tactics, Russians must find a new way of advancing through mechanized warfare if they want any hope of retaining overall pressure on Ukraine throughout the autumn and winter months. 

Overall, Russia’s mechanized probing assaults have failed to deliver them the desired results. Attacks using heavily up-armored vehicles that only rarely worked the year before are now shown to be even less effective through Ukraine’s increased availability of bomber drones, FPV drones, and pilots that allow them to take out both the fast-moving all-terrain vehicles and the heavy armor simultaneously. Russians must now find a new way to keep their armored assaults alive, while using up their scarce reserves in the meantime just to keep the pressure going.

انتخاب وزیر دفاع جدید جمهوری اسلامی از حوزه موشکی یعنی مهرداد اخلاقی نشانگر تصمیم کلان بقایای جمهوری اسلامی برای تمرکز بیشتر بر ساخت موشک‌های قوی‌تر، مخرب‌تر و دوربردتر، حتی موشک‌های قاره‌پیما است. وزارت دفاع از این به بعد بیشتر شبیه یک وزارت موشکی خواهد بود و البته این از دید آمریکا و مخصوصاً اسرائیل هم به دور نیست و به نظرم از همین حالا می‌شود تصور کرد که مهرداد اخلاقی هم در فهرست اهداف اسرائیل قرار بگیرد.

Russia is at war with NATO, we just won’t accept it yet. Everyone’s waiting for tanks to roll across a border or missiles to strike NATO airfields but in the meantime Russia is striking Turkish ships off the coast of Romania, setting fire to drone factories in Estonia and threatening nuclear war because they don’t like ongoing exercises.
I mean just today Germany said the risk of violent conflict with Russia is increasing.

Russian frontlines on the Lyman front have collapsed as the Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps has seen major successes in the third phase of Operation Vivaldi. After Diversionary attacks successfully diverted Russian forces to the southern end of the Salient Ukrainian forces attacked the northern flank at Nove, crushing the defending Garrison with remote operated BTR-60 APCs laden with explosives. the town quickly fell to Ukrainian forces, and left hundreds of Russians at threat of encirclement. over 250 Russian soldiers have surrendered en masse as a result- the largest such surrender seen in the entire war since May 2022. Meanwhile Russia has conducted an attack on the NATO border, with drones hitting and exploding around the Yahodyn border crossing only a half mile away from the land border with Poland. Air Raid sirens throughout the eastern regions of Poland, and the air force was scrambled with orders to shoot anything down that crosses. Meanwhile the British government has released the Fairford suspects on bail, and stated that the drums in the van were filled with material that would not make "viable explosives."

Today, the biggest news comes from the Ukrainian border.

Here, a Ukrainian bomber hit a Russian military staging area, reportedly killing at least five soldiers, wounding eight others, and leaving four missing in action, as shown by geolocated footage released by Ukrainian units operating in the area. The attack also destroyed communications equipment and seriously wounded two Russian signalmen, which complicated their ability to maintain cohesion between neighboring units. The site was also being used to assemble small Russian infantry groups before dispersing them throughout Vovchansk to infiltrate Ukrainian positions. In one strike, Ukrainian forces carried out artillery and drone strikes against Russian troop concentrations and support facilities around Vovchansk. Ukrainian forces then carried out additional strikes across the border in Russia’s Belgorod region. Russian troops had converted a building at an abandoned sugar factory into a logistics hub, ammunition depot, and drone operator post supporting their operations in the Kharkiv region. As a result of the strike, the two guided bombs partially destroyed the facility. Separately, Ukrainian FPV drones struck a fuel and lubricants depot in the industrial zone of Shebekino, triggering explosions and fires at the site. This complicated the ability of Russian units to conduct mechanized attacks, while also denying Russian drone crews the opportunity to refill their generators, which are needed to charge their drones.

Russia is using these rear areas to accumulate forces and equipment to send large numbers of additional troops to their forward positions. Their task is to strengthen the forward groups, secure the gaps between them, and surround Ukrainian forces against the international border. In order to deny Russia the opportunity to encircle thousands of Ukrainian troops, Ukraine is attacking the places where Russian troops gather and where their supplies are stored, disrupting reinforcements before they can strengthen the frontline.

The scattered nature of Russian positions in this sector creates a growing demand for troops, because each isolated position requires soldiers not only to continue the attack, but also to hold captured ground and protect the routes connecting these positions. This puts increasing pressure on the Russian command, particularly after it claimed to have completely encircled Ukrainian forces. Every time Ukrainian strikes hit Russian troops, staging areas, or supply lines, additional soldiers and equipment are needed to replace losses and reinforce vulnerable positions. As more resources are diverted to keeping these scattered positions supplied and connected, fewer remain available for further advances, making it increasingly difficult for Russia to turn its claimed encirclement into a fully secured operation.

This means that the alleged encirclement is not complete and is really fragile. Russian forces infiltrated behind Ukrainian lines, but were unable to fully consolidate their gains because of Ukrainian resistance and strikes on the supply lines and staging areas. Much of the ground between Russia’s forward groups remains a grey zone, so neither side fully controls it. Because of the nature of these isolated pockets that are controlled by Russian soldiers, Ukrainian forces can still move through those gaps that were left during the Russian advance. By exploiting these gaps, Ukrainian forces can disrupt the logistics of the Russians and encircle the troops that managed to slip through the Ukrainian defenses.

Overall, Russia now faces a race between bringing in enough fresh troops to complete the encirclement and replacing the forces and equipment being lost to Ukrainian strikes. The positions Russia has already reached still require constant reinforcements, ammunition, and supplies simply to keep them operational. If Ukrainian attacks continue consuming those resources faster than Russia can replace them, the troops needed for the final push will instead be tied down sustaining the positions already captured. This means that Russia’s ability to complete the encirclement depends not only on advancing further, but on whether it can generate enough additional forces to do so without exhausting the resources needed to hold its current gains.
