150 Russian soldiers fighting against 2000 Ukrainian troops

In the northeast of Red Army City, Shakhov is located at the foot of Kucheyevskaya Heights, and it is a key area for the Russian forces to penetrate the flanks of the Ukrainian forces. If the Russians break through this direction, they can successfully cut off the Ukrainian supply lines.

The first battalion of the Ukrainian elite 82nd Air Assault Brigade and one battalion of the 4th National Guard Brigade are holding on to the Vladimirovka-Shakhov area. They are resisting the continuous attacks by the Russian 39th Motorized Infantry Brigade.

In the northeast of Red Army City, at the bottom of the Russian breakthrough, the Ukrainian forces have concentrated more than 2000 special forces, paratroopers, and Azov Brigade troops to launch a fierce attack on the bottom of the Russian breakthrough. Once the Ukrainians can cut off the bottom of the Russian breakthrough, the retreat route of the Russian forces that have broken through in the northeast of Red Army City will be cut off.

The Russian penetration forces would be surrounded. The only defense force of the Russians in the Kucherov Gorge is 150 men, four reinforced platoons. The Russian defenders, 150 men, are repeatedly fighting with more than 2000 Ukrainian elites, holding onto the key positions.

To block the Ukrainian attempt to cut off their retreat, the Russian aircraft continuously fired over 30 FAB glide-guided bombs at the Ukrainian positions in the highland forests. The Russians want to capture the 164th hill on the western bank of the Portavka River, which is the key point to break the situation in the northeast of Red Army City.

The Russian 51st Army quickly moved out, and the independent Guards 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade has already penetrated into the area near Shakhov. Near the Kucherov Gorge, the left wing units of the Russian 8th Army are also advancing rapidly.

The Russian reinforcement forces coming to reinforce the 150 Russian defenders in the Kucherov Gorge have now reached within 10 kilometers of their target. The Russian 9th Motorized Infantry Brigade, the 110th Motorized Infantry Brigade, and the 39th Motorized Infantry Battalion Group are attacking forward. On one hand, they are rescuing the encircled Russian forces, and on the other hand, they are opening up the main road for further advance.

Now, the Russians are taking advantage of every gap, and they launched a large-scale deep penetration attack with one brigade. This is definitely going to be included in military textbooks. It's even more ruthless than drilling through sewers.

The reason why the Russians can frequently carry out such operations is due to Putin's political promises and financial incentives, as well as the severe lack of manpower on the Ukrainian side. Throughout the front line, the supply of manpower cannot meet the needs of the front. The front line is too long, and everywhere requires people.

With insufficient manpower to fill the front line, the Ukrainian forces can only focus on defending certain areas. The Ukrainian main forces have been concentrated behind Red Army City, which allows the Russians to exploit the gap, penetrating 15 kilometers into the enemy territory with just one brigade.

Although this time, the Ukrainian main forces have quickly counterattacked to plug the gap, the Russian high command has already identified Ukraine's fatal weakness. In the next wave, the Russians will launch more penetration and deep operations.

Bombs + thermobaric bombs, the golden choice for positional warfare

The Russians are becoming more flexible in their fighting, while the Ukrainians are becoming more rigid! Ukrainian officers and infantry complain about their centralized command culture, which often stifles initiative and wastes soldiers' lives. Generals order repeated almost impossible frontal attacks.

At dangerous times, Ukrainian senior commanders often refuse the requests from surrounded units for tactical withdrawals to save their soldiers. The limited combat power of the Ukrainian forces continues to increase in casualties in actions with no tactical value.

The Russians have now developed an entire set of tactics for positional warfare. The first step is for reconnaissance drones to conduct 24-hour full-scale search and monitoring. Electronic warfare units monitor communication signals and the location of command systems.

After making a complete deployment map of the Ukrainian forces' positions on the front line, the Russians start precise destructive strikes. For strong Ukrainian positions, they use FAB-500 glide-guided bombs. If they can't break through, they switch to FAB-1500 glide-guided bombs.

For Ukrainian tunnels and bunkers, they directly fire thermobaric bombs, which kill the Ukrainian defenders hiding in the tunnels with air combustion. Finally, Russian infantry teams ride motorcycles to conduct the final battle for the position.

When the Ukrainians counterattack, they immediately throw FAB glide-guided bombs, Tornado, and Hurricane rocket artillery. A small group of Ukrainian forces can receive multiple large-caliber rockets. Any Ukrainian counterattack, once entering a house, is met with a series of aerial bombs or thermobaric bombs. You can be killed or burned even if you hide in a basement.

The Ukrainian tactics are very straightforward, they continue to hide in trenches and shelters. They rely on drones for both offensive and defensive operations. Large drones can carry 16-18 mortar shells and armor plates, and then charge forward, bombing anything they see.

Now, neither side of the Russia-Ukraine front line will gather large-scale forces for offensive battles. Even 20 people launching an attack is the maximum.
