The Russians "burn" the surrounded Bakhmut with thermobaric weapons, targeting the Azofists of Kiev
Terrible shock wave we see from the launch of missiles with thermobaric charge, from TOS-1 systems on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut.
Due to the numerous fortified positions of the Ukrainian army in this city, the units of the Russian army decided to use TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" heavy systems to neutralize them, Russian sources emphasize.
The Ukrainians in response send the Azov regiment, which has now formed the 3rd Assault Brigade as part of the Ukrainian ground forces, with Mapakhmut as its first combat mission.
Kadyrov announced the advance of Russian forces in Donetsk
"Russian forces captured the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Novomykhailova in Donetsk," Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said on his Telegram channel.
"Men of the Sever-Akhmat Special Purpose Regiment under the command of Zaindi Zingiev stormed the Ukrainian positions." Kadyrov wrote.
According to him, his fighters carried out a planned operation and, thanks to coordinated actions, captured enemy trenches fortified and prepared for a long defense, as well as other engineering structures in the forest zone.
"As a result of the conflict, the enemy suffered losses and was demoralized," Kadyrov added.
According to expert analysts, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have "literally a road" along which it is "relatively safe" to get to the city.
Fierce Russian attack with terminator system in Kremenaya
During another attempt by the Ukrainian army to approach Kremenaya, the Russian army launched an unexpected counterattack and delivered a heavy blow to the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using advanced BMPT "Terminator" support combat vehicles.
In fact, this is the first video of the use of these combat vehicles, which are actively operating along the entire Svyatov-Kremenaya line.
In videos taken by the Russian military, a Terminator system can be seen rapidly deploying to the area where the Ukrainian troops are located and unleashing heavy fire, completely suppressing the Ukrainian army forces stationed there.
A few more moments later, more similar Russian army vehicles arrive, completely eliminating the presence of Ukrainian troops.
Everything indicates that Bakhmut, or Artemovsk, will be a terrible pivotal point for the positive continuation of the war, either for the Russians or for the Ukrainians.
