Really? What a difference a day makes. As I was saying......."cheese" and "cauldron".
READ THE WHOLE THREAD. And you will have to admit that this was most probably a trap-door and kill-box situation.
That is an astonishing wipe-out of entire AFU battalions.
"Update: More complete footage released from this attack. UA forces are attempting to outflank Robotyne from the east and even southeast (this is ongoing today in new attacks). Seeing this larger picture we can see that this was reinforced brigade if not a divisional sized"
"The lines hold while the second or third army Ukraine established is blown to pieces. Their narrow advances, once exhausted, also invite the possibility of a counter attack that encircles them continuously. The deeper their success, the more likely this becomes. Like much of UA "
"RU forces much earlier in the war learned that these narrow thrusts were essentially suicidal."
This is old information.....
Robotyne is being evacuated by RF currently....the AFU is currently south of Robotyne and continuing to advance meeting minimal troops as RF has been suffering from attrition and confusion as this area is a boundary shared by two separate RF Divisions.
What we see on Twitter, even though it's much more current than any MSM reporting is still 24 hrs older than most of the popular twitter feeds. (Including the one you just showed).
Mostly for Op-Sec.
And the fact that most of the AFU mechanized reserves are making this charge into the penetration on the border of Zaporozhye. (Heading Southwest into Crimea and cutting off most of the RF support)
Russia sent its reconstituted and outfitted reserves to the North in the hilly region hoping to draw the Ukranians to the northern hills and strand them there (few roads and difficult terrain) but instead have found themselves trapped and stranded.
This is exactly how things are going...
