Details: On December 23, the enemy made an attempt to expand his bridgehead on the left bank of the Oskil River (Kupian direction). The mechanized rolling took place in two waves and lasted almost the whole day: columns of armored vehicles moved from the east, from the settlements of Berestov and Pishchane towards the coastal villages of Hlushkivka and Zagryzov.
BpLA crews of the “Achilles” battalion stopped 12 units of combat armored vehicles. Of them, one BMP and two tanks were destroyed. Eight BMPs and one tank were damaged. 18 occupiers were eliminated, 6 were wounded. The enemy attacked under the cover of rain and fog, apparently hoping that the difficult weather conditions would interfere with the operation of FPV drones. But the enemy’s calculation did not come true – another attempt by the enemy to expand its bridgehead on the left bank of the Oskil River failed, the military said.
This is already the fourth mechanized attack of the enemy during December on this part of the front. It is about the bridgehead of the Defense Forces, which stretches along the left bank of the Oskil River. Key settlements: Kupyansk, Kupyansk-Vuzlovy and Borova.
Earlier, the commander of the first strike company of the Achilles BpAK battalion of the 92nd Oshbr, Anton Shmagailo (call sign “Banderas”), assumed that the Russians were ordered to reach specific goals in the direction of a specific date – probably to capture Kupyansk-Vuzlovy before the New Year.
“The general picture: the enemy does not count on losses either in manpower or in equipment and tries to move forward despite everything. This is what is happening in the Kupyan direction”, – says “Banderas”.
From time to time, sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy managed to cross over to the right bank of the river, in particular, in the area of the village of Novomlynsk, Kupyan district. But it was not possible to gain a foothold on the right bank.
Also in November, the enemy tried to drive into the left-bank part of Kupyansk with several units of armored vehicles, bypassing the Ukrainian battle formations. And they succeeded. However, within an hour, all the equipment that broke through was destroyed, and the infantry was captured or eliminated.
The commander of the “Achilles” BpAK assault battalion Yuriy Fedorenko (call sign “Achilles”) characterized the situation in the direction as follows: “Russia is operating in a sprint mode, as it is trying to achieve certain situational successes on the battlefield in the shortest possible time. And the Russian troops have been transferred to the “kamikaze” mode. The enemy’s losses are not comparable to the achieved results – they are now the largest during the entire period of the full-scale war.”
