29 Aug: Ukrainian M2 Bradley’s PENETRATE Melitopol Line and BREAKTHROUGH Russian Defense for 20 km Ukraine’s victory is closer than the West thinks.
Despite the Western media’s gloomy coverage of Ukraine’s counter-offensive, today Ukrainian troops are making significant progress. Kiev’s successes have recently spread to the entire front lines of Zaporizhia. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry announced that fighters entered Robotyne in the Zaporizhia region and raised the blue and yellow flag there the next day.
This is what Ukrainians and their allies have been longing to see all summer. In this regard, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar confirmed that her country’s heroic army had liberated the village of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region. The architects of this success were the powerful tanks of the West and the brave soldiers of Ukraine. In particular, the 47th Mechanized Brigade and the 82nd Airborne Tarruz Brigade stormed the southern region with American, British and German tanks. The advanced equipment provided by the West, such as the Challenger and Leopard heavy battle tanks and the Marder and Bradley M2 light tanks, was finally showing some results. Under intense Russian bombardment, the Bradley fighting vehicles provided by the US to Ukraine are now playing a critical role in pushing the Russians back.
New video from the 47th Mechanized Brigade shows soldiers stepping out of armored vehicles into newly liberated territory. There, in the village of Robotyne, they are embraced by civilians who have been under Russian occupation since the beginning of the war. Thus, the 47th Mechanized Brigade Amrikan, with its German and British heavy armored vehicles, has set its sights even further, past Russia’s first lines of defense. The goal is not a few villages, but the entire Azov coast, including Crimea.
To do so, the Ukrainians will have to overcome several more layers of Russian minefields and trenches. But today’s advances suggest that this phase will not be too difficult for Ukrainian forces. Because in just a few days Ukrainian forces managed to advance several miles from Robtyne in the directions of Berdiansk and Melitopol. After the liberation of Robotyne, Ukrainian forces started to advance towards the Tokmak line. The Ukrainian counteroffensive needs to advance 7-10 miles to disrupt Russia’s east-west transportation routes and hamper the Russian army’s ability to mobilize and fight. To this end, Ukrainian forces are now breaking Russian defensive lines both in the Tokmak direction and in Verbone, east of Robotyne.
Dozens of British Challenger tanks, German Leopard tanks and a large number of Western armored vehicles under the control of Ukrainian army troops are about to break through the Russian defenses on the Tokmak line. The last time Ukrainian tank units and infantry groups destroyed two Russian ammunition depots in Tokmak. Ukrainian offensives in this direction are currently continuing. Ukrainian troops have broken through 20 kilometers of Russian lines in the Tokmak-Melitopol direction. This is very serious progress and a remarkable achievement. Robotyne is a village in the Zaporizhzhia region occupied by the Russians in March 2022. It is located on the road from Orikhiv to the occupied Tokmak, described as the logistics center of the Russian army. The Tokmak settlement is about 20 kilometers from Robotyne and Melitopol is further away.
In a way, Ukraine has captured one of the most important routes of the Russian logistics lines in the south. General Mark Milley, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed this week that Ukraine is finally fighting on Russia’s first line of defense. The last time the Russians fled Verbove, northeast of Tokmak, after this heavy raid. Ukrainian troops entered this settlement and significantly supported their offensive from there. The fleeing Russian troops were reportedly heading east of Verbove. Having seized the initiative in Verbove, the Ukrainians are planning to advance to Melitopol after Tokmak.
In other words, there are actually all possibilities for Kiev to completely seize the initiative in Melitopol. Both Robotyne and Verbove settlements are located northeast of Melitopol. Between this offensive corridor, i.e. between Robotyne-Verbove and Melitopol, is the city of Tokmak, so the Ukrainian forces’ offensive plans should continue in a phased manner.
Of course, we should not forget the Ukrainian partisan units in Melitopol. They are also currently working on Kiev’s liberation plans. Between Orikhiv and Melitopol, in a clash zone of about 120 kilometers, both Ukrainian assault brigades and Kiev-supporting partisan groups are striving for liberation. #russia #Ukraine #UkraineWar #russiaukrainewar #news #russiaukrainenews #War society, politics, knowledge, military, international relations
Imagine Barbarossa or Normandy invasion showing such results over a year and a half.
For whatever reason the west has slow played western aircraft and certain weapons, still the results are staggering for the Ukrainians, and devastating for the Russias
Launching waves of missiles and drones and mobilizing even more manpower seems to be russias only plan
How that will effect Russias internal situation is anyone’s guess, but it can’t be good
I think it is summed up by the picture of Russians on the beach in Crimea watching in disbelief as explosion happen around them
