With more than 1,000 kilometers of frontline between Russia and Ukraine, there is nothing more tragic than Avdiivka.
Russia and Ukraine in this area of 39 square kilometers, covering an area of 4A bitter war has been waged in the small city of 7 square kilometers, and according to conservative estimates, the Russian army has already lost more than 30,000 fighters (some of them surrendered) in the war since September next year, as well as more than 1,000 tanks and armored vehicles.
According to intelligence from all sides, the Russian army has already lost more than 8,000 people in four days in Avdiivka, which illustrates the meaning of the phrase "every inch of land counts"!
The Ukrainian army only has the 6th Garrison Brigade, the 47th Infantry Brigade and the 110th Territorial Defense Brigade left, but from 2014 to the present, Russia has not been able to capture this small land for 9 years.
What's even more terrifying is the ** rate, judging from the war report, the ** ratio between Russia and Ukraine is 13:1, and it can even reach 20:1 at the peak, it is not an exaggeration to describe the ** of the Russian army with "light as a feather", Russia and Ukraine have started the war so far, the Russian army has lost more than 400,000 people, and countless people have been injured.
Something similar happened not only in Avdiivka, but also with Mutter, where many Russians say that the Russians defeated the Ukrainians and occupied Mutter. After the Battle of Mutter, Wagner officially declared that the death toll was 26,000 and the wounded were 40,000, adding the 20,000 dead of the Russian army, for a total of 88,000.
The most important thing is that these two towns are not important to them, it is much more important than its political role, and the war has entered a kind of war of attrition, and the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers for a new piece of equipment is not only an act of stupidity, but also a harm, and in the end it will only fall from bloodshed.
The number of Russia and Ukraine in Avdiiv is 7:1, the third assault brigade of the Ukrainian army has occupied the Ukrainian 110 ground defense brigade in Avdiivka for more than two years, and the purpose of the third Ukrainian assault brigade in Avdiivka is not to eliminate the ** army, but to protect the 6th garrison brigade, the 47th mechanized infantry brigade and the 110th territorial defense brigade that have been fighting there for more than two years.
By the early morning of the 17th, the Ukrainian army had withdrawn most of its troops, but thousands of troops were still besieged.
Ukrainian retreating troops.
A large number of Russian soldiers, in groups of 50 and with the help of anti-aircraft missiles, in units of 50 people, fearlessly pushed forward, had broken through the Zenit line and advanced towards the heart of the city of Avdiivka, passing through heavy enemy firearms and long-range fire.
The 3rd Ukrainian Assault Brigade was surrounded by seven brigades at this time, and they fought and retreated, moving in the direction of the west.
At 1:58 a.m. on February 17, Russian units had penetrated deep into the central region of Avdiivka, which also contained a railway station, according to Russian Truth, but this information was unconfirmed.
According to the CCTV news agency, Ukrainian forces repelled 28 waves of Russian troops in 24 hours, and the situation is very dangerous.
However, as one of the nine main forces of Ukraine, the morale of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of Ukraine is still very high, and the commander Andrei Biletsky calmly said: "Our soldiers have shown unparalleled courage, we have waged a 360° war with them, and the Russians will have to pay the price of bloodshed if they want to conquer Ukraine." ”
Ukrainian shooter Rosovsky said: "Most of these Russian fighters are temporarily enlisted, and their defense capabilities on the front line are not strong. ”
The Russian army suffered heavy losses in this attack, judging by the video released by the Russians, more than seventy percent of the two brigades destroyed by the Ukrainian army died at the hands of the Ukrainian army.
The bloodshed and death continued, the offensive and the defense were equally fierce, and February in Ukraine was not the slightest hint of spring, and the smell of smoke and corpses was everywhere.
I think that the Ukrainian army has achieved its goal, and now it is time to retreat to Avdiivka and engage in peripheral battles, just like in the Liberation War, Liu Deng's army entered the Central Plains, and after pinning down the enemy's main forces, it immediately rushed out of the periphery.
Russia and Ukraine have more than 600,000 troops on a front line of more than 1,000 kilometers, and if the Russians have an absolute advantage in Donetsk, then they can put all their forces into Tokmak, and then break through the Surovikin defense line, enter Meriupol, and cut off the ** army in southern Ukraine and eastern Ukraine.
We can also transfer the main forces to Kherson, cut off the supply lines in Crimea, and push the more than 100,000 Russians in Crimea into a corner.
As the fighting on the front line enters a white-hot phase, Ukraine** Zelensky signed a "bilateral security agreement" with Germany and France on the night of February 16, which means that the alliance of the three countries will unite against Russia.
On February 16, the British Ministry of Defense issued an announcement: Britain will join Latvia and several other countries in providing Ukraine with tens of thousands of U**, which are highly effective offensive U**.
The battle between Russia and Ukraine has reached a fever pitch, and F16 has the potential to turn the tide of the war.
From 9 to 10 February, F-16 fighters bearing the logo of the Ukrainian Air Force, and a representative of the US Parliament also arrived in Kyiv, from which it can be concluded that the Ukrainian Air Force has agreed to accept American F-16 fighters, including equipment on American-made aircraft, as well as maintenance and logistics.
According to the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Sergei Naev, the Ukrainian F-16 fighter is equipped with a long-range missile of 300 to 500 kilometers, and there is only a straight-line distance of 500 kilometers between Ukraine and Moscow, which means that once the F16 fighter takes off, it can attack any target around Moscow, so there is every reason to believe that the F-16 will play a decisive role in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
We paid with our lives, may the Ukrainian people be happy!
What a hero.
