Avdeevka
The situation for AFU continues to deteriorate. The railway bridge south of the Coke Plant was taken by RF
At these moments there are fierce battles on Lesya Ukrainka Street, Sapronov Street, Zheleznodorozhny Lane. The Russian Army is systematically dividing the city into two parts.

Everything on Ukraina CG was conserved & they hoped to sell it for many years, so even if all its innards r gone or rotten, the hull can still be salvaged, new gear & arms added, & used as a warship or at least CG/training vessel.
Even if it was in mint condition and in the water and had gone through testing it is obsolete in its current form and would need an upgrade and overhaul just to replace all the soviet stuff with Russian standard stuff... communications and electronics and other systems and equipment are all cold war era and totally obsolete and needing replacement.
It would make more sense to scrap it and use the money that it would need just to get it into the water to lay down three or four new corvettes and a frigate or two.
You can say pro Russian people can protect it... it just takes one nutter to start a fire or destroy critical components on board and render it useless.
They keep the existing Slava class ships because they are operational but this boat isn't even that.
Write it off and move on... don't let pride make you waste good money.

It seems Askold is in repair at Zaliv shipyard near Kerch
To me the damage seemed similar to Rostov submarine Ssk
So it seems both of these will be coming online by summer
It seems the damage is not as bad as previously thought

I took a trip to Ukro telegram
I am quite satisfied with what I saw
It seems our guys really did take hill 218, as well as the Quarries in the north
That basically sealed the deal for Avdeevka
Here is the westoid Newsweek
https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-avdiivka-fall-donetsk-1866925
Crying about losing Avdeevka
I'm sure our guys will be finishing this operation soon
And freeing them up in time for spring offensives towards Chasov Yar and renewed push to Kupyansk
With the advantage now in all categories on Russias side, it seems indeed that the VSU is disintegrating and Zaluzhny-Zelensky scuffle proves that
IMO they have lost their ability to fight as a unified and cohesive army
Now the question is, what is the next step, guerilla war or will NATO attempt to screen a Ukrainian Dunkirk retreat from the right bank
Well more juicy events will take place in the following weeks and months

Do we know how widespread fairly up to date information is across the Ukrie front lines? For example, would the forthcoming loss of Avdeevka be known widely? I'm thinking morale.

The thing is these advances are happening so quickly that the only source right now that is up to date are the Ukro telegram channels that are in full panic mode
Butusov is a nice one that indicates that Ukros are indeed retreating from the North and South being squeezed on multiple advances
IMO the bigger question is not what the tactical response will be inside of Avdeevka, but actually when they lose the town,
Where will Ukrainian forces displace to?
Avdeevka is like an island in the middle of the sea
Behind Avdeevka lie some small settlements but nothing of adequate size to house the Tavrida grouping of forces
Konstantinovka is too far up the N-20 highway
So where do these 20,000+ souls run to?
If they try to run in the open, it will be a massacre by the VKS
So I think the main worry for Ukrainians is , if indeed they leave the settlement, where do they go?
I think the only answer is to effect a mass surrender, or they will all die
In the end we will see how it ends for the VSU on this section of the front

judging from its pics, it wasn't even outfitted with any radars, target illuminators & comm. antennas, so there's isn't much left to replace except the missile tubes; the inside spaces don't have any furniture & other combustibles either, so what else can burn on it escept paint & rubber door seals? Electrical cables that u say need replacement anyway? Russia can send an Il-76/Be-2000 fire bombers &/ firefighting tugs to dump tons of H2O on it, if need be. Or they can scuttle it before rising it again.GarryB wrote:Even if it was in mint condition and in the water and had gone through testing it is obsolete in its current form and would need an upgrade and overhaul just to replace all the soviet stuff with Russian standard stuff... communications and electronics and other systems and equipment are all cold war era and totally obsolete and needing replacement. ..You can say pro Russian people can protect it... it just takes one nutter to start a fire or destroy critical components on board and render it useless.Everything on Ukraina CG was conserved & they hoped to sell it for many years, so even if all its innards r gone or rotten, the hull can still be salvaged, new gear & arms added, & used as a warship or at least CG/training vessel.
IMO, completing & outfitting it will be less costly than scrapping or building/buying a new CG/DDG of comparable size that is needed for their future blue water ops. Cheap foreign NK/Indian labor can be used to drive the costs down, paid in produce, tech./rupees.

Thanks Arkanghelsk, I was trying to find out if other parts of the front were aware of what is happening in Avdeevka and if so will it effect their will to fight.
Yes, I'm curious as to where the garrison will go. Is it really 20,000?

Hardly.
People are getting crazy and adding up all the ukro brigades thrown in, forgetting that none of those were fully manned, nor used in full.
This number is being used - which is already telling - by the Ukrainian sources calling for withdrawal.
They hardly can at the moment, honestly.
This evil regime will burn any living Ukrainian to rob more $.
Seriously worried about Krematorsk and Slaviansk. For Odessa they will start dropping strollers with babies attached to the end of HIMARS or something. They feel no shame. Having an E3mln villa in Andalusia they can reconsider being a human.

This passes my 'is it a big enough bang' test. Three bombs, the first could be bigger than the others, the third you can see just bore it explodes well above ground, no sign of wings. Can't see the second. The first really does make a mess of the building it hits.

to add to Ark's post about Avdiivka:
from a TG source:
it is an AI translation, so read over mistranslations.
Avdeevka situation at 22:00 06.02.24
Today, all day long there was a fierce battle for a key railway junction in the area of the coke plant in northern Avdeevka. What is its importance? From this junction there is direct visibility to the “road of life” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city, which is only 500-600 meters from here.
The enemy desperately tried to knock us out of there, but as of 22.00 it was firmly in our hands. And the garrison of southern and central Avdeevka, especially taking into account our occupation today of another important point south of the city, the heights northeast of Opytny, is now in a state of operational encirclement.

By the way Ark, not sure if anyone said it. and i do not mean it negatively.
when i read your posts now lately you made quite the redemption arc
keep up the good info.

This is essentially what is taking place all over the front
Once Ukros get reserves to an area, Russia just reinforces that area and then overloads them on another sector
Constantly doing this exhausts the logistical capacity of Ukraine with the shortages they have in manpower, ammo, drones, and so on
And the real offensive hasn't begun yet
