Securing Waste Heaps and Battling for Open Ground
In the direction of Red Army City, Ukrainian forces fortified their positions, utilizing two scrap heaps towering forty and forty-five meters above ground level for strategic firepower deployment.
During their advance, Russian troops identified machine gun emplacements atop the scrap heaps using drones and initiated sustained suppression with aerial bombs. The open ground between the waste heaps became a focal point for Russian assaults, with infantry crossing the shell-scarred area under heavy fire support to seize the territory and establish forward bases. Both sides engaged in continuous skirmishes around this area, with Russian forces attempting to encircle Ukrainian positions by conducting divide-and-conquer tactics through the scrap heaps. Neither side relented control over the high points of the waste heaps.
Russian Air and Unmanned Systems Joint Operations
In their efforts against Ukrainian positions, Russian forces heavily deployed the \"Sunflower\" series of heavy and miniaturized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), coordinating with air forces to drop high-power aerial bombs.
These weapon systems systematically targeted Ukrainian field defense systems, dismantling ground cover and firepower configurations. UAVs precisely guided munitions strikes while conducting frontline observations and transmitting critical information. The operational airspace saw frequent reconnaissance and attack drones, working in tandem with aerial platforms to deliver successive strikes. Russia aimed to weaken Ukrainian defensive integrity through coordinated air-to-ground operations, gradually advancing towards tactical objectives.
Breakthroughs and Large-Scale Bombardments from East to North
Over the past two months, Russian forces have launched continuous offensives from the east of Red Army City towards the north, deploying approximately 1,700 high-power aerial bombs, resulting in densely packed crater fields from aerial bombardments.
Ground troops advanced towards Ukrainian positions under cover of these airstrikes, disrupting roads, bunkers, and communication lines. Ukrainian forces maintained partial defense using trench networks, but the aerial bombardments reshaped the terrain significantly, limiting Ukrainian mobility in the northern defensive sector. The pace of aerial bombardment remained intense, focusing primarily on traffic junctions and concentrated firepower areas, with the intention to restrict Ukrainian reinforcements and counterattack capabilities.
Disruption of Ukrainian Rear Strikes and Supply Lines
Ukrainian logistical nodes around Rokinsk and the primary supply lines were subjected to sustained Russian attacks using long-range drones and high-power bombs. The 25th Airborne Brigade encountered a 1,500-kilogram bomb during assembly, resulting in damages to assembly buildings and troop deployments. Interruptions in the supply lines led to delays in ammunition and medical transport, prompting some Ukrainian units to retreat westward or northward from the Rokinskaya mining area in an attempt to evade aerial surveillance. Reduced supply capabilities in this area affected frontline operational readiness.
Multi-Line Advancements and Alternating Counterattack Operations
On July 18th, Russian assault forces launched ground offensives from the southern and southwestern directions of Red Army City, breaching Ukrainian outer defense lines and entering the outskirts of Peshchetlavnya village.
In the Sumy direction, Ukrainian forces redeployed reserve forces to counterattack in Kondratovka, attempting to regain lost territory. Russian forces conducted extensive bombing campaigns on central and western Kondratovka, weakening Ukrainian organizational capabilities for counterattacks. Russian reconnaissance and sabotage teams infiltrated Ukrainian rear areas under drone cover and relied on large UAVs to transport supplies, thereby enhancing prolonged team deployments. The conflict in this region fluctuated between advancing and counterattacking phases, with both sides continuously adjusting their deployments.
During this stage of conflict, Ukrainian forces fortified their defenses on high ground while Russian forces utilized combined air and ground operations to exert sustained pressure, particularly around the scrap heaps, contesting control.
Russian use of heavy unmanned systems and aerial strikes caused substantial damage to Ukrainian positions and weakened their supply chains. The assault from the Red Army City direction, accompanied by intense aerial bombardment, altered the terrain and tactical pathways. Logistic nodes such as Rokinsk and Rokinskaya mining areas became targets for remote strikes, resulting in adjustments to Ukrainian troop deployments.
In the Sumy direction, localized counterattacks and bombing created a complex situation of mutual destruction and infiltration operations by Russian forces, aiming to diminish enemy rear support capabilities.
