Situation
Shelling locations reported by Ukrainian General staff.
Kerch bridge in Russian occupied Crimea from October
Donetsk
The AFU repulsed an attack around Krasnohorivka,. There are of course two of them, and I don’t know which one, so flip a coin
Bakhmut
Down at the Lada lottery around Bakhmut, the AFU repulsed attacks around Soledar Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Andriivka and Kurdyumivka. Wargonzo also report fighting in Optyney. I do not believe there is any major change the last few days.
Svatove-Siversk
The AFU repulsed an attack around Bilohorivka. Wargonzo report continued AFU offensives in the direction of Pishchane and Chervonopopivka.
Svatove
The shellings might reveal the AFU intentions, we see shellings north and south of Svatove. It’s very likely they will try to envelop Svatove instead of taking it head on. This could also be confirmation bias and a coincidence.
Weather
A few more days of cold weather, then it’s back to mud and misery.
UA Army Toys
It has now been revealed that the UK is supplying not just older Brimstone 1 but modern Brimstone 2 Dual Mode 🇬🇧 missiles to the AFU.
This model has a much superior maximum range (Claimed “more than 200% increase”) plus improved seeker, software and airframe design.
In June the US announced the delivery of “4 tactical recovery vehicles” to Ukraine. Now we finally know what was handed over- here we see a M1089A1P2 wrecker in use.

Kursk
Oil depot on fire after drone attack on airfield in Russia’s Kursk
Explosion at the Russian airfield of the city of Kursk with the help of satellite
A drone attack on Tuesday struck near an air base in Russia, a local official said, a day after Ukraine used drones to hit two military bases deep inside Russia. If confirmed by Ukraine, it signals that it’s willing to bring the conflict closer to Moscow.
Russian officials claimed that UAVs attacked an airfield in Kursk, which ignited oil, and the Slava plant in Bryansk. Not clear how much, if any, damage occurred at the latter.
