Something is happening on the Avdiivka direction
in the Vodiane area, in particular, the graveyard

of enemy military equipment has begun to increase
there.

And there’s a reason for that.

On the southern facet of the Avdiivka defense
area of the AFU, in the area of Vodiane, the

Russian command began to introduce additional
forces and means into the battle.

The purpose of this action is to occupy Sieverne
and Tonenke, taking full fire control of Route

0542 and to begin preparing a bridgehead for
physical cutting of the logistic artery.

The logic of this kind of action of the enemy
command is quite clear.

Its grouping, operating on the southern facet,
began to significantly "lag" behind its "northern

counterparts".

In the north, the enemy forces managed to
reach Coke Plant and break through the railway

towards the village Stepove, while the "southern"
ones did not take Tonenke or even Sieverne.

Therefore, the enemy is trying, by increasing
efforts on the southern facet, to a certain

extent, "synchronize" the actions of their
strike task forces.

Except that these offensive processes have
begun to manifest themselves in some disorganized

and chaotic manner, which has resulted in
another round of Russian troop losses that

have jumped above the statistical average.

Instead of synergy with the northern group,
the southern group rushed uncoordinatedly

into the meat grinder prepared for it.

From December 10 to 16, the Russian command
conducted a series of the most extensive attacks

on Avdiivka's southern flank since the first
wave of the offensive.

The fighting was fierce, with the occupants
losing nine tanks on the first day of the

offensive alone.

Interestingly, among the photos of the hit
vehicles is a "naked" T-62, which was stuffed

with explosives and used as a kamikaze tank
at the beginning of the breakthrough.

However, it was hit and abandoned in the Vodiane
area.

The Russian side employs tactics similar to
ISIS, loading a vehicle with explosives and

sending it towards enemy positions with a
suicide bomber inside.

Similarly, the Russians have done this more
than once; however, the driver-mechanic exits

the tank beforehand, rendering it unmanned
and uncontrollable.

The Russian military-political leadership
simply cannot afford the failure to capture

Avdiivka, as well as the expansion of several
small tactical strongholds of the AFU on the

left bank of Dnipro, even if they are combined
into one but operational.

Especially given the level of loss, resources
and effort invested in these operations.

These things are quite clear and obvious.

Much more intriguing is the question about
the goals pursued by the Ukrainian military

command, turning Avdiivka and the left bank
of Dnipro into a meat grinder for the occupants

and forcing them to engage in a real mad extermination
of their forces and resources.

And if they try to keep the equipment somehow,
then with the loss of personnel do not count.

More and more often there are cases when the
occupants during the attack immediately after

the infantry landings try to pull back the
armored vehicles in order to save them.

At the same time, the Russian command absolutely
does not spare the infantry.

Thus, losses among infantry not covered by
armor are only increasing.
