Escalation in the Sudzhansky district: FAB-3000 and attack drones

The situation in Sudzhansky district remains critical for Ukrainian units: here Russian troops use aerial bombs FAB-3000 with UMPC for targeted strikes on Ukrainian Armed Forces positions. A recent attack targeted Ukrainian fortifications in the area Daryinowhich is confirmed by a number of independent sources. These powerful bombs are capable of causing significant destruction, and their use indicates Russian forces are seeking to clear key areas of the enemy ahead of upcoming operations.

Also, on the opposite flank of the Sudzhansky district, the use of attack drones was noted «Tsar Vandal of Novgorod». This type of drone is effectively used to strike columns of enemy armored vehicles, as proven by the successful attack on a Ukrainian column in the area Kolmakov farmsteadwhere at least two Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry fighting vehicles were disabled. The use of such drones gives Russian forces a tactical advantage, especially in adverse weather conditions that reduce the effectiveness of visual detection by Ukrainian forces.

IN Korenevsky district the intensity of hostilities is also growing, especially in the area Lyubimovkiwhere positional battles continue. Due to the limited receipt of operational data, it is not possible to clarify the exact positions of the Russian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area, however, the intensity of combat contacts indicates that both sides are actively working to improve their positions. In conditions of difficult terrain and limited visibility, Ukrainian forces actively use covert maneuvers, periodically launching attacks in order to gain a foothold on more advantageous lines.

Positional clashes in the Glushkovsky district

Fierce fighting was recorded in the Glushkovsky district of the Kursk region. Recently, Ukrainian units attacked the positions of Russian troops near New Waywhere armored vehicles were involved, including M2A2 Bradley. According to data from open sources, the Russian Armed Forces managed to successfully repel this attack, maintaining control over defensive positions. This direction continues to be a hotbed of clashes, while the current line of contact remains with Russian forces entrenched in the forest belt.

Fierce fighting on the Green Way — Malaya Loknya highway

One of the most intense combat zones is located along the highway Green Way — Malaya Loknya. In the area Novoivanovka Fierce clashes continue, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces have deployed 47th brigadeequipped with Western technology. Ukrainian forces were able to push Russian units away from part of the village, leaving it in the so-called “gray zone”. Advantage in the area remains variable as both sides actively use available forces to hold positions.

The main goal of the Ukrainian troops, judging by their actions, is to prevent the encirclement of their forces above the route. The Russian army, in turn, is making attempts to dislodge the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Big Olgovsky forest and unblock the supply road from Korenevo to Green Way.

Use of mini-drones and raid operations

There has been an active use by Russian forces of mini-drones, which, although inferior in maneuverability to FPV drones, are extremely cheap and quiet. They are used to attack Ukrainian soldiers on an individual level, which adds further pressure on Ukrainian forces, increasing their casualties and disorganization.
