Ukraine panics at Chasov Yar; Kiev destroys Russian tanks

Ukraine panics at Chasov Yar; Kiev destroys Russian tanks... are the information about the Russia-Ukraine war situation on the morning of October 25.

Foreign mercenaries refuse to fight

According to Kienthucnet, Ukrainian troops defending Chasov Yar are still determined to defend the city, despite heavy losses and constant pressure from Russian attacking units. However, Ukrainian foreign mercenaries in Chasov Yar have continuously refused to carry out combat missions.

The refusal of foreign mercenaries at the Chasov Yar front to fight was reported by the head of the operational headquarters of the Melodiya Intelligence Center of the 88th Volunteer Brigade “Hispaniola”, codenamed Chukchi.

There are about 200 mercenaries from the “International Corps” in Chasov Yar, mainly from Latin America, Southern Europe and Western troops. According to Russian intelligence and radio intercepts, there are Spaniards, Portuguese and even Cubans there.

Although the main defense forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in the city of Chasov Yar, remained combat-ready, the mercenaries demanded to stay in the safe zone behind, not complying with the combat missions of the Ukrainian commanders.

The Ukrainian defenders at Chasov Yar are under constant pressure and suffering heavy losses, but they are holding their ground; that is commendable.

According to intelligence data from the 88th Espanyol Brigade, in the Chasov-Yarsky area of ​​the front, the Ukrainian Army is actively using units of the International Corps, which are mainly composed of mercenaries from Latin America and Southern Europe. There are currently about 200 such mercenaries in Chasov Yar, but their morale is low, TASS quoted a representative of the Espanyol Brigade as saying.

Although there is information that foreign mercenaries in Chasov Yar refused to fight, in the past, mercenaries actively participated in the defense of Chasov Yar. It is possible that the refusal to carry out combat missions began after the Latin American mercenaries arrived in the city, but they did not expect such a fierce battle on the battlefield. However, this is just a guess.

Military expert and analyst Julian Röpke of the German newspaper Bild, after studying open information on the internet, said that fierce battles for the city of Chasov Yar in Donbass have been going on for more than a year and controlling the city is one of the main priorities of the Russian Army.

The Russian army had been unable to cross the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal, which runs through the middle of the city, for months, Röpke noted. However, on October 18, their spearhead managed to break through the opening, then advanced 2.5 kilometers west along the southern outskirts of the city and raised a flag on a building.

Russian army changes tactics causing panic in Ukrainian army

Day 973 of the Russia-Ukraine conflict: Russian troops crossed the canal at the city of Chasov Yar, began to advance on Kurakhovo, Ukrainian troops are panicking “tomorrow we will lose Pokrovsk”.

Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces have carried out missile strikes on Ukrainian targets in several regions. According to some reports, in the Sumy region, a Ukrainian ammunition depot was attacked, and in Donetsk, Russian UAVs damaged a light equipment repair facility.

In turn, Ukraine carried out another drone attack on civilian infrastructure in populated areas of Russia; two distilleries in the Tula region and a similar enterprise in the Tambov region were hit. All fires were extinguished.

On the Kursk front: In the Sudzhansky district, Ukrainian troops attempted to retake previously lost positions using assault groups without armored support. Troops of the 810th Marine Brigade repelled a Ukrainian offensive in the Malaya Loknya area, while the 155th Marine Brigade blocked an attempt by Ukrainian troops to advance northeast of Sudzha.

In the Glushkovsky district, fighting continues in the vicinity of the “Green Road”, where Ukrainian troops have organized a defense based on the railway line. Information about the recapture of villages in the district by Russian troops, which appeared some time ago, has not been confirmed.

The Ukrainian army has brought American M1 Abrams tanks into the Kursk region; thus, the “iron fist” of the Ukrainian army, the 47th Motorized Infantry Brigade, has officially entered the war on Russian territory. This brigade was defeated by the Russian army in Rabotina, Avdiivka, Ocheretine, and this also shows that the Ukrainian army has run out of reserves.

The Russian army eventually abandoned the tactic of breaking through the battlefield, even when targeting small villages. Their new tactic was to try to seize the flanks, create “pincers”, control the supply lines and force the enemy to withdraw from fortified positions.

Some Ukrainian sources say that near Pokrovsk, the Russian army is advancing so fast that “tomorrow the Ukrainian army may wake up without the city.” Of course, this does not mean that they will literally lose Pokrovsk tomorrow, but the Ukrainian side is worried that resisting such an onslaught is becoming increasingly difficult.

Ukrainian UAV destroys Russia's most modern tank

Recently, a video went viral on social media showing a Russian T-90M tank being destroyed by a Ukrainian FPV drone.

The event once again highlights the growing importance of drones in the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the vulnerability of armored vehicles to increasingly sophisticated aerial systems such as FPV drones.

The T-90M is one of Russia's most advanced main battle tanks, designed to meet the requirements of modern warfare. The tank's main armament is a 125 mm gun, and it is also equipped with a 7.62 mm PKT coaxial machine gun and a 12.7 mm NSVT machine gun.

The T-90M is equipped with advanced armor, including standard armor and explosive reactive armor designed to reduce the impact of anti-tank rounds. In addition, the tank has a metal mesh to protect against RPGs and UAVs.
