The Ukrainian army is preparing a powerful strike in the Zaporizhzhia region. Witness yesterday’s attempt by a small unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to reconnoitre the Russian positions in the vicinity of Orekhov.
Initially, reconnaissance in force was considered the start of the Ukrainian offensive. However, later it turned out that only a small group of Ukrainian servicemen attacked the positions of the 291st regiment. Their offensive is quickly canceled by artillery fire. It is known that the enemy lost at least one tank and hastily retreated.
Nevertheless, experts are convinced that it is in Zaporizhzhia that the main blow of the Ukrainian armed forces will be struck. Presumably, the Ukrainian units will try to break through in the direction of Tokmok.
This version is supported by the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine concentrated a large number of personnel and equipment on this section of the line of contact. According to experts, the Ukrainian command intends to use all remaining aviation to support the actions of the ground forces.
However, even with this alignment of forces, there are serious doubts about the success of the impending breakthrough. The fact is that in recent months it is in the Zaporizhzhia region that powerful defensive fortifications have been built.
In addition, Russian troops were actively defending. The positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were regularly hit by artillery and aircraft. And the warehouses out back were attacked by cruise missiles and drones. In this regard, it is hardly appropriate to predict the success of the Ukrainian army in Zaporizhzhia. However, Russian troops must maintain maximum concentration.
