#Ukraine June 22, updates from @escortert. usually in two parts -> PdS1, Dnipro-Donetsk offensive -> PdS2, Louhansk-Siversk-Avdiivka areas & Backstage Here is the PdS2 for today
3/n
1/ Numbers and men,
🇷🇺 forms a new reserve corps made up of the 25th and 40th Armies
5 new regiments (1 🇷🇺 regiment = max 2000 men) 60% equipped (therefore poorly equipped) will reinforce the 1st Guards Armored Army and the 20th Army.
4/n
2/military cross-audits
(i) The 🇺🇦 drones have created a new problem for the Black Sea fleet.
🇷🇺 has "innovated" to protect it 👇
It uses a disruptive camouflage invented during... World War 1!
5/n
For players on this thread, the disruptive camouflage of WW1 to escape submarine attacks, will come back to their memory otherwise for others and new ones (in 🇨🇵) 👇

6/n
🇷🇺 can the army innovate?
With 🇺🇦 offensive, we've discerned signs of adaptation (drones, ALAT, ...) but I've long been skeptical about 🇷🇺 army's capacity for innovation.
I've often tweeted about the "great regression" of 🇷🇺 army
7/n
🇷🇺 army doesn't innovate, it only "copies backwards", which is a reflection in military culture of what's happening in Russian culture as a whole: "the great Soviet leap backwards".
War is the continuation of culture by other means
8/n
(ii) The recovery of damaged Western equipment is a real problem for 🇺🇦
Here a Leo 2A4 planted in a freshly conquered 🇷🇺 trench👇near #Orikhiv
9/n
(iii) The use of Western equipment is also a problem for 🇺🇦
A Leopard 2 hit by a 🇷🇺 suicide drone with no major damage👇 but the point of interest is that this Leopard was stationary and used instead as a self-propelled 120 mm gun...
10/n
3/Louhansk front, 🇷🇺 no tactical gains
(i) In the #Kupyansk👇 direction, 🇷🇺 assault in the #Synkivka axis repulsed
🇷🇺 objective is to descend on both sides of the Oskil, which means crossing it to pivot south towards #Kupyansk
11/n
🇷🇺 fail to seize the high ground👇 on the west bank of the Oskil, but with heavy artillery preparation, slowly advance to the east bank of the Oskil.
12/n
(ii) In the #Kreminna👇 direction, a war of positions has been raging for several days in the Serebrianska forest, towards #Dibrova and #Kuzmyne: attacks and counter-attacks follow one another without either side gaining the upper hand.
13/n
The 76th Airborne Div. Airborne, 80th armored regiment and 🇷🇺 Akhmat units confront 🇺🇦 brigades
🇷🇺 lack consolidation groups to continue the offensive and were only able to seize a position of 0.5 km2, reported in this thread yesterday.
14/n
The 🇷🇺 objectives are:
- to create a wider buffer zone to avoid a renewed siege of the stronghold (which failed in 2022)
-to surround #Bilohorivka from the south-east and from the north across the Donets river
(iii)In the #Svatove direction, NTR
15/n
4/Donetsk front, 🇺🇦 marginal tactical gains
(i) In #Siversk direction, NTR
#Verkhnokamyanske (southeast) is in ruins
This settlement is the last stop before #Siversk from the east👇
(ii) In the #Marinka direction, 🇷🇺 assaults repulsed
17/n
Progress is slowed by drone attacks from the DNR👇 1st Felon Corps.
(iv) In the #Vuhledar direction,
In the #Pobieda axis (SE), 🇷🇺 assaults repulsed

18/n
5/Bridges at #Kherson, #Crimea
The two bridges at Chongar were hit with precision by GLSDB 👇
Overland logistics between occupied southern 🇺🇦 and #Crimea become more complicated: a one-hour detour is required, impacting flows
