About the likely offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye direction

Earlier we said that Ukrainian formations are preparing for an offensive in the Zaporozhye direction. Based on characteristic signs, we assume that the preparation is close to completion.

?? What is the plan of the Armed Forces of Ukraine?

??Application of mobile groups

Since October 3, daily Ukrainian DRGs of up to 20 people have been conducting reconnaissance in combat in the areas of the settlements of Mirnoye and Pologi, and before that - in Hulyaypole. The groups are made up of foreign mercenaries, mostly Poles.

Their main task is to wedge in and gain a foothold in positions, using gaps in the combat formations of the RF Armed Forces.

??Massive artillery shelling

The activities of the DRG are accompanied by a massive fire shelling of artillery and MLRS. Ukrainian troops are firing indiscriminately at Russian positions almost without interruption.

In September, more than 20 units of barreled and self-propelled artillery of Western production were deployed to the Gulyai-Pole and Orekhovsky sectors.

The main goal of the first two points is to probe the most vulnerable points in the defense of the RF Armed Forces and exhaust the Russian contingent due to constant attacks and strikes, mainly at night.

??Concentration of armored vehicles in the areas of the main strike

Simultaneously with the actions of assault groups, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are deploying a large number of armored vehicles in the direction of the main attack in order to wedged into the defenses of the RF Armed Forces.

Just today, a convoy of military equipment, including six tanks, arrived at the Stepnogorsk-Orekhov line. At the same time, Ukrainian air defense systems were moved to the southern outskirts of Zaporozhye to cover ground forces, and mobile fire crews of MANPADS operate on the line of contact.

??Primary Direction Masking

And the most important thing for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to ensure the secrecy of the events. To do this, the Ukrainian command conducts deliberate disinformation both in open and closed sources.

Only recently we wrote that in the radio exchange of the unit of the 66th Ombr of the Armed Forces of Ukraine they deliberately reported on the withdrawal of the connection from the direction due to allegedly large losses in manpower and equipment in the hope of an offensive by Russian troops.

And in order to mislead the Russian command, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are defiantly transferring forces to false directions, forcing the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to transfer units to hold the line.
