1/6 Elements of the 10th Tank regiment part of the newly formed 3rd ???? army corps, arrived around 13th of may in the area of the town of Odradivka (48.494300,38.014800). They had previously been deployed near Avdiivka, were they were involved a multiple failed frontal assaults

2/6 In which they suffered serious losses including most of their tanks and IFV's. They had been regrouping near the town of Lysychansk and seems to have been re-plenished with new mobik recruits from all over Russia but mostly recruits from Buryatia.

3/6 Their arrival in the area south of Bakhmut is likely an attempt to stop Ukrainian advances in this area.The unit took up positions along the T0513 road between Odradivka and Optyne. Almost immediatly after their arrival shelling and drone attacks by ???? forces took their toll.

4/6 Several men where killed(200) and more then 10 where injured(300) among them was the newly appointed commander who eventually died of his wounds. Till yesterday there was no replacment. Due to the mostly ill equiped mobniks in this regiment, it is highly unlikely they 5/6 could withstand an attack by organised ???? forces which are currently advancing in this direction from Klishchiivka, meaning that a large area west of the T0513 from Zaitseve to Kodema can be liberated if defenses here are breached.

6/6 ???? forces are moving slowly as not to overstretch their lines on both sides of Bakhmut, so next weeks will be crucial to the fate of Russian/Wagner sources inside the city, if ???? can move beyond the T0513, things are starting to look grim for these forces.
