⚡️ (https://t.me/z_arhiv/27604)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ A few Words about the AFU Breakthrough in the #Kursk Region⚡️
🔵It is worth noting that the enemy did not use fully equipped brigades. For example, the 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade and 82nd Separate Assault Brigade were represented only by battalions that were being replenished. At the same time, the airborne assault brigades were reinforced by separate assault battalions, which were transferred from near #Artyomovsk - 24th and 225th Separate Assault Battalions (https://t.me/z_arhiv/26651). It was the assault units that carried out the breakthrough on Stryker and Marder. The 170th Separate Logistics Regiment from the 7th Corps was involved in their support (https://t.me/z_arhiv/27205).
🔵Then, Forces of Special Operation and GUR units penetrated into the defence breakthrough zone to conduct sabotage activities - for example, the "Bravo Team" from the 130th Reconnaissance Battalion. At the same time, mechanised brigades occupied villages, such as the 99th Battalion of the 61st Mechanised Brigade, which occupied the Gas Measuring Station near #Sudzha.
🔵It is worth noting separately that there are at least 4 Battalions of Unmanned Systems operating in the direction, including from a new type of military force - the Unmanned Systems Forces (https://t.me/z_arhiv/27438). This allowed the enemy to create a significant superiority in the air, both in reconnaissance and as fire suppression. There was also footage of drones being used by helicopters (there was a post about the risk of such use earlier (https://t.me/z_arhiv/27541)), which takes drone units to a new level of danger.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, despite the announced evacuation, strikes of Israeli militants on Khan Yunis and the area east of the city have killed at least 16 Palestinians over the past day.
🔹On the border with #Lebanon, both sides exchanged strikes. Hezbollah fighters launched missiles at Kiryat Shmona and other towns, and the IDF militants responded by striking southern #Lebanon.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kursk Direction by the End of 12 August 2024⚡️]
🔹Ukrainian formations are making attempts to expand their encroachments deep into Russian territories. At the same time, more and more footage is appearing on the Net demonstrating the successful defeat of AFU armoured vehicles and militants by Russian troops.
🔻In the #Korenevo district, in the vicinity of #Snagost, where the enemy had previously launched an attack on the RFAF positions, the situation is hidden by the "fog of war". The situation in #Krasnooktyabrsky has also not been clarified, while there have been no reports of enemy units entering the settlement.
🟡#Kremyanoye, where the presence of AFU units was previously recorded, have cleared by Russian troops. During the battle, the enemy lost at least one Roshel Senator armoured vehicle, abandoned by the crew south of the settlement. It is worth noting that in this case, the vanguard of Ukrainian formations was probably ambushed by Russian troops and, without the support of heavy equipment, was defeated.
🟡In the area of #Korenevo and #Tolpinskoye, Ukrainian formations launched an attack with the support of armoured vehicles in order to break through the Russian defences. The enemy's onslaught was successfully repelled by Russian units, while the AFU, apparently, rolled back to their initial positions.
🔻In the #Sudzha district, the situation remains stably tense. Over the day, enemy videos appeared on the Net, demonstrating the AFU presence in the central districts of #Sudzha, as well as in the area of #Martynovka, and, according to reports (https://t.me/sashakots/48342) from the field, the presence of the enemy was recorded in the settlement during the day.
❗️Nevertheless, it is premature to declare full control of the AFU over #Sudzha, based solely on footage from the enemy, since at least some of the videos were recorded a few days ago. At the moment, there is no official information from Russian authorities and personnel of objective control by the RFAF.
🔻In the #Belaya district, Russian units are fighting in #Plekhovo; there have been no reports that the settlement coming under AFU control. At the same time, it is known that the enemy occupied #Spalnoye, through which Ukrainian mobile groups subsequently entered deep into Russian territory.
🟡In the morning, Ukrainian military equipment was spotted in the #Girya area. Judging by the 👉 footage (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/10460), the enemy entered from the southwest from #Kamyshnoye. As we noted (https://t.me/rybar/62692) earlier, the number of the armoured group that broke through to the settlement was higher than initially expected.
📌 Nevertheless, for the enemy, the attack on #Giryi resulted in the most significant one-time losses of personnel and equipment recorded to date: at least 7 BTR-4E APCs were destroyed, one of them was captured (https://t.me/infomil_live/8919) by the RFAF as a trophy. 1 pickup of the Ukrainian forces was also destroyed and an unspecified amount of militants was eliminated.

🔹In the #Kursk direction, the enemy attempted an attack from the #Spalnoye - #Krupets line in the direction of the #Giryi village, where during the attack they lost up to a dozen armoured vehicles, most of which were BTR-4E, one of which was taken as a trophy.
🔹On the #Kharkov front, Russian troops repelled several attempts by the enemy to break through the state border line in the areas of #Kolotilovka and #Bezymeno.
🔹In #ChasovYar direction, Russian troops made significant progress towards Grigoryevka (⭐️#Grigorovka) from #Bogdanovka.

🤡🤬Ukrainian operation in Kursk region 'brave, brilliant and just beautiful'. I'll bend Biden to get the US to give Ukraine all the weapons it needs to "win a war that can't be lost" - Republican Senator Graham travelled to Kiev.
The State Department also said the US was in "private" talks with Ukraine about the use of ATACMS missiles on Russian territory.
