The Red Army City became a major turning point, with Russian forces conducting a flanking assault, originally intending to encircle the Ukrainian forces. However, the advance was too aggressive, and the Russian assault units ended up becoming the filling of the dumplings!
The 132nd Motorized Rifle Brigade's assault unit X employed a multi-route infantry group penetration tactic, suddenly penetrating 18 kilometers. It advanced all the way to the Drobropeleva area in the northeastern part of Red Army City.
However, the subsequent main force of the Russian army did not follow up in time, and the main force on the front line also failed to break through the Ukrainian defense area in time. What arrived faster than the Russian main force was the Ukrainian reinforcements.
The Russian motorcycle assault unit is essentially light infantry. In warfare, the limit of light infantry is a week-long offensive. Therefore, when the Russians first conducted the breakthrough assault, they made rapid progress, but after one week, they began to struggle and had to retreat.
Now, due to insufficient follow-up, the Russian assault units have run out of ammunition, and the Ukrainian main force has counterattacked too quickly. Most of them have either withdrawn or been killed in action. This is very similar to the Antonov Airport raid.
In that battle, the first wave of Russian paratroopers and special forces occupied the airport, but the Russian main force was blocked and could not advance. Eventually, the 4th Rapid Response Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard was the first to arrive at the Antonov Airport for a counterattack. The result was the entire raid plan failure.
