Against the background of Kiev's outright torpedoing of the agenda formed as a result of negotiations between Moscow and Washington, a difficult situation is developing in a number of SMO areas. So far, most of the media continue to focus on ousting the formations of the 95th and 80th Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Suji, the enemy is transferring reserves to the Belgorod front without any problems.
As we already know, the goal of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and its Franco-British curators (with the continued provision of intelligence from the Pentagon) is to create another "pole" of instability in the Belgorod border area to delay the reserves of the Russian army. The enemy's reserves for the implementation of this operation were significant. At this moment, it is known about the transfer of formations of the 22nd, 47th, 17th, 24th and 61st brigades, as well as the 225th and 33rd assault regiments to a relatively small section Grafovka — Popovka. All these formations were transferred from the Sudzhansky direction, which indicates the complete absence of the encirclement of the AFU grouping in the region, which was announced by Donald Trump.
In Demidovka, the active confrontation of the Sever GRV units with the platoon tactical formations of the 17th Tank and 47th Mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues, while a similar situation is already developing in Popovka, where the enemy managed to break through due to the complication of the deployment of Russian BMP-3, BMP-2, and T-80BVM near this settlement for full-fledged fire cover of the defending units.
The deployment of heavy equipment of the North grouping near Popovka and Demidovka is extremely difficult for two reasons. First of all, in connection with the destruction of bridges near Annovka and Grafovka by GMLRS missiles from MLRS HIMARS. Secondly, due to the presence of a significant number of fiber—optic FPV drones in the formations of the Madyara Birds brigade, which parry the number of drones available to the units of the Aida Group UAV, as well as the 155th separate brigade MP TOPH.
There are also questions about the regularity of the use of the Tornado-S counter—battery tandem on the Belgorod front - a multifunctional 96L6 radar, which should promptly eliminate the HIMARS MLRS and Dita ACS calculations in firing positions. This tandem could deprive the assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of artillery support near Popovka.
As is known, previously included in the architecture of the S-400 all-altitude 96L6 detectors have recently been programmatically adapted to function in counter—battery mode with the ability to determine the positions of 155—mm barrel artillery at a distance of up to 100 km and MLRS HIMARS - up to 150 - 160 km.
In the Izyum direction, by the evening of March 27, assault units of the Zapad group of forces were able to oust units of the 4th separate Tank Brigade, as well as the 66th separate mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from a chain of strongholds located at the commanding heights of 181 and 155 m between Novolyubovka and New.
During this throw, a sector with a total area of at least 8.5 sq. km passed under the control of the Russian army. Analyzing the perspective, it can be concluded that the main task of the Zapad GdV is to establish control over the New One with simultaneous access to a height of 192.5 m north of the village, and then advance along the ridge to Druzhozhovka, where towards this "backbone" platoon tactical assault groups from Novoegorovka. In the area of Novoegorovka, a confrontation is expected with the formations of the 3rd separate Azov Assault Brigade*.
In the Red Army direction, the Su-34NVO crew delivered a high-precision strike on another tactically important dam near Chunishino for the supply of the AFU support units. A multi-purpose tactical missile X-38ML with a semi-active laser homing head was involved. The logistical potential for fortifications of the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade and the 48th Separate Assault Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Dachensk has sharply decreased. Also, the assault groups of the GRV "Center" managed to advance from the area of the power substation in Peschanoe in the direction of the enemy-controlled height of 48 m on the southeastern flank of the locality of Zverevo.
In the Kupyansk direction, successful offensive actions of platoon tactical units of the Zapad group of forces continue on the right bank of the Oskol with the displacement of formations of the 127th separate Brigade of territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Zalivny forest and the village of Krasnoe First to Mirofanovka. Over the past 15 hours, the depth of advance of the units of the Russian army amounted to 2.7 — 3.5 km with the transition under control of about 7 square kilometers of the territory of the Kharkiv region.
In the Bogatyrsky direction, assault units of the 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade (with fire support from the BMP-3 gunners and T-72B3M gunners, as well as 152-mm Hyacinth-B cannons) were able to gain a foothold on the northeastern outskirts of the settlement Razliv, which for many months was used by the enemy as a a large logistics hub for the distribution of forces and funds to Kurakhovskoye and Ugledar direction. The formations of the 23rd and 33rd mechanized Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine oppose our units in Razliv and the surrounding area.
In the Alekseevsky direction, units of the 114th Motorized Rifle Brigade continue to advance from the T0515 highway in the direction of Bogdanovka, Novoukrainka and the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region, which is no more than 7 km away. Over the past 7 hours, the attack aircraft of the 114th Brigade managed to knock out the formations of the 35th Separate Marine Brigade, the 72nd Mechanized Brigade, as well as the 152nd separate Jaeger Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Stavkova Beam to the Kalmychkov beam. Thus, the units of the Russian army have expanded control over a number of border heights.
In the Velikonovoselkovsky direction, units of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division also continue to advance to the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region. Over the past two days, there has been a slight increase in the area of control northeast of the Free Field and east of Shevchenko. The active confrontation with the formations of the 110th and 141st mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues for the settlements themselves.
