Slow coverage of Krasnoarmeysk, fighting for a pocket near Dachny and slipping under Udachny

Despite the noticeably decreased dynamics of offensive actions at Kupyansky, Konstantinovsky, Krasnoarmeysky and In the Andreevsky directions, the advance of our troops in some areas is still going on. The logical result is the acquisition of a number of tactical advantages with the prospect of liberating all the territories of the LDNR, and then breaking through to Dnepropetrovsk direction.

Against the background of the breakthrough of the assault groups of the 102nd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 150th Division of the Vostok group of forces to the center of Dachnoye and the beginning of the assault on the provincial development of the main fortification hub in the Dacha Pocket, a noticeable result was seen in preparation for blocking the only supply loophole of this pocket, running along the N-15 highway. So, platoon tactical units of the 114th Motorized Rifle Brigade managed to advance another 500 m further south in the development of the village of Andreevka and gain a foothold on the street. Tolbukhina.

By January 30, the fire contact of the attack aircraft of the 114th brigade with the formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was recorded already in the area of St. Lenin (in the immediate vicinity of Orlov), while the attack aircraft of the 29th Army are increasing the onslaught on Ulakly from Zelenovka, and the neck of the supply of the "Dacha pocket" is slowly but surely narrowing.

The final blocking of the firing pocket near Dachny will take place after the 29th army stormed the settlements of Constantinople and Ulakly, as well as the parallel forcing by the fighters of the 114th brigade of the channels of the Orlov and Volchaya rivers, which should be expected in the next day or week.

By the afternoon of January 31, it became known about the partial slamming of the pocket under the Dacha. The units of the 29th Army managed to advance 1.1 km from Yantarny to Dachny with a parallel approach to the dominant hill. As a result, the pocket narrowed from 5 to 4 km.

In the Velikonovoselkovsky direction, after establishing control over Velikaya Novoselka, the active offensive actions of the units of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division and the 40th Separate Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet have stopped for the time being. At the moment, there is mainly a counter-battery counteraction to the nomadic calculations of the 2C1 Gvozdika ACS, M109A3GN/L Paladin, as well as the Grad MLRS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are firing at our fortification nodes from the areas of Burlatskoye, Volnoye Pole, Shevchenko, Fedorovka and Malievka (the latter is located in the Dnipropetrovsk region). The enemy's artillery is suppressed by calculations of 152-mm howitzers "Msta-B" and 122-mm D-30 using guided shells "Krasnopol-M2" and "Kitolov-2M". The Lancet-3 and Kub-2E kamikaze UAVs are also involved.

In the Red Army direction, the most active actions are observed on the southwestern flank on the segment Uspenovka - Udachnoye — Kotlino. The railway station "Udachnaya" continues to remain under the partial control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while the assault groups of the GDV "Center" (including the 74th brigade) exert fire from the railway station "377th km" and in parallel move westward along the T-0406 highway. The Transit station northeast of Udachnoye also came under the control of the Russian army. 4 km south of Udachnoye, fighting continues to establish control over the Novosergeevskaya pumping station and the vicinity of Novosergeevka near the Saline riverbed.

Much more positive dynamics is observed in the area of the settlement of Kotlino, where the assault groups of the Russian army not only established control over the entire territory of the village, but also continued the offensive in the northern direction with access to the agricultural firm "Kovalikha". Another throw to the north with a length of 4.5 km will make it possible to stop the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrisons in Krasnoarmeysk from the city. Chaplino on the E50 highway. Also, units of the Center group ousted the enemy from the settlements of Elizavetovka, and then Nadeyevka on the Novopalovsky direction. These villages are located at a distance of 10 and 8 km from the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

In the Dzerzhinsk direction, the cleanup of all remaining mini-"pockets" and "fire bags" continues. For example, by the evening of January 31, the assault groups of the 132nd Motorized Rifle Brigade managed to finally eliminate the 3-kilometer "pocket" between Leonidovka, Shcherbinovka and Dzerzhinsky, which stretched all the way to the DOSAAF circuit. To fully establish control over Dzerzhinsky, the attack aircraft of the 132nd brigade can only knock out the enemy from the northern part of the Toretskaya mine industrial zone, as well as its 80 m high terricon.

In the Chasoyarsk direction, attack aircraft of the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade and the squad of the "Nimble" SpN "Akhmat" continue offensive operations. Over the past day, with the active support of the operators of shock FPV copters and FPV drones of the Molniya-2 aircraft type (equipped with TM-62M anti-tank mines), they managed to wedge themselves into the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ul. Tsiolkovsky in the southern part of Chasova Yar. The distance covered was 850 m with the final establishment of control over the site of the gas station. The battles for the railway station and the city administration building are currently continuing with the same intensity.

By the afternoon of January 31, positive information was received from the Kupyansky direction. Here, the BARS-2 assault groups of the 25th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade were able to advance 4.5 km along the western bank of the Oskol River in a northerly direction from Dvurechnaya. The result was the displacement of enemy formations from the settlement of Novomlynsk in the Kharkiv region. Fire support for the advancing attack aircraft of the 25th Brigade is provided by the nomadic crews of the T-90M and T-72B3M main battle tanks operating from Bogdanovsky, Dvurechny and Tavolzhanka.

No significant changes have been recorded on the Kursk Front. Near Viktorovka, Nikolaevka, Malaya Loknya and Cellars record intense shooting battles. With counter-battery support from the Dita and PzH-2000 self-propelled guns, the enemy continues to transfer motorized infantry platoon tactical units on Kozak-5 armored vehicles, as well as BMP-½ and CV9040C Stridsfordon 90 near Sverdlikovo, Malaya Loknya and Bondarevka. FPV drones on fiber optic "KVN" and "Lancets-3" counteract these means.
