It’s the barrels. They’re wearing out and bursting. That and the summer counter battery campaign.  I’m certain of it.

Segundo os dados não confirmados (dados divuldados pela própria Ucrania) a Ucrania em média destroi todos os dias umas 20 a 25 peças de artilharia havendo dias a chegar às 30 ou até 40. Há meses que é assim, isto claro que leva a que haja um limite de reposição de peças de artilharia.

Epic level of destruction of Russians soldiers and military columns in this video, including turret tossing 😈

It was a russian convoy.

Really hard work.

Summary of Avdiivka Situation as of 2023-10-16.    🧵Thread:

- Russian forces failed to maintain a lasting presence north of Avdiivka, despite their initial advances in the early days of the assault.
- Russians were unable to establish permanent control over the Slag Heap area.

2/

- Good news are emerging from the South-Western flank. Despite numerous efforts to break through to Sieverne, Russian forces incurred significant losses and were forced to retreat. This is very important, as the Western flank plays a crucial role in Avdiivka's logistics

3/ Reports of numerous destroyed vehicles are accurate, but I want to highlight that some of these destroyed vehicles were situated there in previous months or even years. Nonetheless, the losses remain significant, with a somewhat reduced intensity in recent days.

4/ Recent satellite imagery and geolocated videos reveal that the enemy has shifted their approach in Avdiivka, resorting to heavy bombardment and causing extensive damage to the city's infrastructure and residential buildings.

#Ukraine: Russian forces continued offensive operations aimed at encircling #Avdiivka on October 15 but have yet to make further gains amid a likely decreasing tempo of Russian operations in the area. http://isw.pub/UkrWar101523

2/ The UKR General Staff reported that UKR forces repelled more than 15 Russian assaults near Avdiivka, as well as NW & SW of the city. ISW has not yet observed visual confirmation of previous claims of Russian advances in the area or geolocated footage of any other Russian gains

3/ Both Ukrainian military observers and Russian sources stated that Russian forces did not achieve their desired immediate breakthrough, and Russian forces faced initial high losses and a likely slower-than-anticipated rate of advance. https://isw.pub/UkrWar101523

4/ Russian forces will likely continue offensive operations at this decreased tempo in the near term, however, and will remain a threat to UKR forces in the area despite being unlikely to achieve a decisive breakthrough or encircle #Avdiivka at this time. https://isw.pub/UkrWar101523

Another Russian Su-25 shot down. This is the third one this week, General Staff reports.

Parece que o ATACMS já chegou à Ucrânia e já fez estragos.

A base aérea de Berdyansk, sob ocupação militar russa desde março de 2022, foi fortemente atacada na noite passada, com grandes explosões vistas e ouvidas no local. De acordo com algumas fontes, pode ter se tratado do primeiro ataque ucraniano com o ATACMS, o míssil de longo alcance do HIMARS. Os números ainda precisam ser confirmados por imagens de satélite, mas algumas fontes referem que os russos podem ter perdido ali até 9 helicópteros de ataque e alguns depósitos de munições e combustível.

#BREAKING: The remains of M74 submunitions from the MIM-140 ATACMS missile with cluster warhead were found at the Russia-controlled Berdyansk Airport following last night's Ukrainian strikes.

This is the first confirmation of the use of this US-delivered weapon by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Pro-Russian source Rybar claims Ukraine attacked with a combination of GLSDB and ATACMS this morning at Berdyansk airport. According to him, a total of 6 missiles were launched of which 3 hit their target.

"An ammunition depot was hit, and several helicopters received varying degrees of damage," Rybar adds.

https://twitter.com/NOELreports/status/1714245062438068230

SSO of Ukraine gave details about the attack (Operation DRAGONFLY) on Berdyansk and Luhansk. A total of 9 helicopters of different modifications, special equipment, air defense launchers, runways and an ammunition warehouse were either damaged or destroyed.

Based on Sentinel Hub satelite images of Berdyansk airport taken on 15-10-2023, it looks like a minimum of 20 helicopters could have been present. Assuming they haven't moved since that date.

If we overlay FIRMS data, a significant part of them are within the area's of fire.  We will have to wait for better satelite images to be able to confirm the damage.

O Rybar muito gosta de inventar ao dizer que os ucranianos usaram GLSDB que ainda está a meses de lá chegar.

A versão usada foi apenas a Block I quero ver quando começarem a chegar as mais avançadas. Se os russos não querem que os seus helicopteros em território ocupado virem churrasco é melhor começarem a construir abrigos em cimento reforçado.

Parece que a Ucrânia voltou/está a fazer um novo ataque à margem esquerda do Dnipro.

1. New Thread/Oleshky
Rybar reports on evening 16 OCT 4 groups from🇺🇦35th + 36th Marine brigades + 140 Recce Batt landed at the small UAF bridgehead south the destroyed railway bridge over the Dnipro; aim to advance on Oleshky, Pishchanivka + Poima.
Further on 17 OCT p.m. the marines broke through and captured Poima. After receiving reinforcements they reached the northern outskirts of Pishchanivka (as reported by Rybar tonight).
Rybar also reports UAF preparations for several more crossings aimed at taking Pidstepne and Kozachi Laheri further to the north east.

Very interesting, Russians are banging about a naval operation by Ukrainian forces to establish another bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnieper. They're in a bit of a panic really even though they're trying to cope, you can see it in their commentary.

Provavelmente será apenas mais uma tentativa para obrigar os Russos a manter unidades na zona, contudo nos ultimos meses os Russos tem retirado algumas unidades mais experientes para reforçar outras frentes de combate, o que pode ter criado uma oportunidade aos Ucranianos.

[Icterio]

As baixas russas na ofensiva em Avdiivka são tenebrosas e reveladoras do desnorte do comando russo.  Atacar em campo relativamente aberto quando os ucranianos tem total cobertura de drones e artilharia de qualidade (e grande precisão) é pior que amadorismo.  Acredito na falta meios de reconhecimento dos russos que, por conseguinte, assumiram (erradamente) que as defesas inimigas naquela área fossem mais fracas ou, devido á guerra da faixa de Gaza os russos acreditassem que iriam surpreender os ucranianos, mas são apenas exercícios de extrapolação.

Outro aspecto revelador é o facto dos russos usarem vários MT-LB (um veículo de lagartas de uso geral, muito usado para rebocar peças de artilharia e morteiros) com chapas de blindagem extras soldadas sobre a cobertura (estilo Mad Max) como IFVs de recurso.  Isto mostra falta de BMPs e BTRs pois o MT-LB nunca foi projectado como veículo de combate de infantaria.  E também há relatos de BTR-50, um transporte de tropas completamente obsoleto.
