The Marines' throw in the Kursk region and the coverage of Kurakhovo: the situation in the SMO zone

Over the course of 20 hours, a radical change in Pogrebsky direction of the Kursk front. The amphibious assault groups of the 810th OgBMP of the Black Sea Fleet, with the support of a platoon of 152-mm Msta-B howitzers, as well as mortar crews and FPV drone operators with a fiber-optic control system, managed to oust the enemy from the Black Sea Fleet in a short time. Pogrebkov, Maryevka, Orlovka, Novaya Sorochina, as well as Staraya Sorochina.

In parallel, our units advanced in a southerly direction along the Malaya Loknya riverbed. It has not yet been possible to establish control over the nearby heights at the railway branch and the Krinitsa tract, and therefore there is still a risk of blocking our isthmus at Pogrebkov.

Nevertheless, the Marines managed to gain a foothold on the northern outskirts of the Smallest Lokni (with a breakthrough depth of 6 — 7 km), while the crews of the T-80BV MBT working from closed positions, calculations of AGS-17/30 machine-gun grenade launchers, as well as calculations of the Tornado-G MLRS and FPV copter operators all possible methods prevent the breakthrough of armored groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Orlovka and blocking our logistics corridor.

Equally intense fighting continues on the Leonidovo — Kruglenke segment. These villages are located directly on the "isthmus", through which the supply loophole of the "Pogrebsky semi-boiler" runs, stretching from the Krinitsa tract to the Olgovskaya Grove tract (it is in this boiler that the AFU grouping of 5 to 7 thousand people continues to be located). Part of the group was able to retreat in separate groups through Viktorovka and Nikolsky farm to a more rear Cossack Village, as well as Sudzha, but about 50-60% of the departing forces are under fire from our rocket artillery, as well as reconnaissance and strike UAVs "Pacer", successfully working on infantry fighting vehicles and cargo transport of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at night with the use of transonic tactical missiles X-UAV.

The situation on the Russian Porechnoye — Cherkasskoye Porechnoye segment is quite complicated: the enemy, regardless of impressive losses, continues to throw infantry formations up to a platoon in Kositsa and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye, as well as armored groups based on YPR-765 armored personnel carriers, M2A2 ODS-SA infantry fighting vehicles and highly mobile groups on pickups. About 35-50% of these formations are destroyed on the march by the operators of "Pacers" and MLRS "Grad/Tornado-G" in the area of Kubatkino, Zozulevka and Bogdanovka, but about half of the enemy personnel still arrives in the dismounting areas in Cherkassk Porechny under the cover of forest plantations along the Sudzha riverbed.

In Cherkassky Porechny, the enemy controls the southwestern section of the private sector and three days earlier tried to gain a foothold in the buildings of the Cherkasskoporechensky school, as well as the Porechensky TSSDC. To stop such attempts in these areas, a high-precision strike was carried out by a planning controlled modification of the FAB-3000 aerial bomb used by the Su-34NVO crew.

North-west of Sverdlikovo and Lebedevka, the assault assault squads and platoons of the 106th Guards Airborne Tula Division continue their offensive operations, knocking the enemy out of landings along the Loknya Riverbed, to which no more than 750 - 1500 meters remain to be overcome at the moment. Armored groups consisting of airborne assault platoons on BMP-2, BMP-3 and BMD-4M have to operate in the "chaotic maneuvering" mode (slightly reducing the likelihood of falling under the blows of the AFU FPV drones), while simultaneously processing the crowns of trees in the landings to be stormed from 30-mm 2A42 and 2A72 cannons to cover the infantry of the AFU fragmentation fields.

The most difficult situation continues to be fixed in Sudzha, Kurilovka, Bondarevka and Cossack Lokna, which are a dense agglomeration of fortification nodes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and even with hundreds of remaining civilians present. It will require monotonous and filigree work using FPV drones with fiber-optic control systems, as well as "Red Fields". It is also worth noting that over the past month the enemy has deployed several engineering companies in the above-mentioned settlements, which were tasked with creating a layered fortification, for which numerous types of trench vehicles, GMZ-3 tracked minelayers, as well as other equipment adapted to the range of tasks of engineering units were deployed.

In the Kupyansk direction, units of the 1st Tank Army of the Zapad group of forces were able to establish control over Kolesnikovka and the High-speed railway station. The beginning of the confrontation for the establishment of control over the Glushkovka with access to the Kovsharovka for the final coverage of the eastern part of Kupyansko in the "fire bag" is recorded. Thus, Kruglyakovka became the key southern bridgehead for the offensive of the 1st TA on Kupyansk.

In the area of responsibility of the South group of forces, units of the 106th Airborne Tula Division were able to regain control over the settlement of Vyemka in the Seversky operational direction. The advance of the paratroopers was carried out with fire support from the gunners-operators BMD-4M and BMD-2, as well as calculations of howitzers "Msta-B", MLRS "Grad" and the latest UAV-kamikaze "Lightning". Infantry fighting in the Verkhnekamenskoye building continues.

The forces of the platoon tactical motorized rifle unit of the 36th Brigade of the 29th Combined Arms Army of the Vostok GRV established full physical control over the settlement of Maksimovka on the southern approaches to Uspenovka. An armored group on the BMP-2 was involved. The next stage will be the storming of the Sukhoi Yaly— Giant — Konstantinopolskoye — Uspenovka "belt" with access to the southern flank of Kurakhovo.

On the northeastern flank of Kurakhovo, even more active actions of the assault units of the GRV Center are observed. So, over the past day, units of the Russian army have managed to gain a foothold in the locality of Sontsovka and begin preparations for a breakthrough in Starye Terni and Dachnoye, which will mark the almost complete blocking of the supply of the fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kurakhovo along the N-15 highway. Meanwhile, the "Ugledar backbone" of the Vostok grouping finally blocks any enemy access to Kurakhovo through dirt roads and forest plantations near the settlement of Razliv.
