2/ for the third day in a row it's a total "manslaughter" !!!

UA forces have now gained new abilities and are 100% efficient regarding the use of all their means.

i'll explain later on... on the blog.

have a good day you all

10/ et donc ...
petite carte du soir...

Partial Operational situation update regarding #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on May 4th, 2023 :
situation in #Bakhmut :
the arrow does not mean they is a continuous push from Ukr forces, BUT there was a real push back on certain key areas in order to block Ru advance, interdict best unit advances, etc.
right now as we can tell, the front is very much under control and as Ru are not hugely supported by arty, this could last past the 9th of May...

7/ you can also "read" this topo map (you can "see" the hill slope" and this last sat map to try to understand it..
it's quite easy to get it..

ok that's it for now...
as said again and again and again, it's coming to an end... and UKR have performed 10 times better than any ukr supporters could have hoped & or dreamed of ! (i thought myself they would be gone early Spring)

6/ Also to be noticed that the terrain on the south part of the "soon to be pocket" is directly connecting to fields on N-O and no real buildings or strong defensive lines are available in this area, so Ru are now like mad dogs just trying to go down the hill (and they will also have the high grounds and direct view on the last available roads.. so it's a double difficult point to control there...

as i said it is becoming "fishy" and cautions needs to be taken.
