30 Apr: NO SURVIVORS! Russian Operation Goes HORRIBLY WRONG! | War in Ukraine Explained

today there is a lot of news from the
abva direction here Russians have
launched a series of costly attacks on
the Ukrainian settlement of berichi to
take it into a pocket the main Russian
goal to the northwest of aiva is to
break through Ukrainian defensive lines
and reach the Ukrainian city of psk
which serves as the main Ukrainian
headquarters in the
region the first Ukrainian line of
defense in the way of the Russian
operation is located along the DNA River
ever since the fall off of diiva
Russians have been continuously
attempting to breach these Ukrainian
defenses in multiple
locations the settlement of berichi is
situated on the outermost edge of the
Ukrainian river defenses which is why it
has seen the highest intensity of
clashes in this
direction after Russian forces managed
to cross the railway they immediately
launched numerous waves of attacks in
the direction of berichi the Ukrainian
47th mechanized Brigade shared Drone
footage showcasing the Russian losses on
the road between stepo and bichi since
the fall of
aiva the notable Russian losses on this
road amounted to 20 Armored Transport
Vehicles eight alterrain Vehicles two
engineering vehicles and several other
weapon systems the Ukrainian Brigade
stated that Russians had lost up to 1300
soldiers only in this attacks in an
attempt to reach the settlement as the
footage also shows the fields and the
road itself being scattered with Russian
Manpower our
losses the 47th mechanized Brigade also
shared footage of them counterattacking
one of this Russian assaults with a
Bradley infantry Fighting Vehicle
disabling and destroying the Russian
armored vehicle in a duel after the
incredibly costly Russian attacks
Russians finally managed to reach the
settlement of bichi itself geolocated
footage shows Russian forces launching
attacks with one or two armored vehicles
at a time drone operators of the 47th
mechanized Brigade shared geolocated
footage of them destroying a Russian
Armored Transport vehicle that had made
it into the settlement with an fpv drone
another geolocated video shows a Russian
assault group attempting to rush into
the settlement and take up positions in
the destroyed
houses unfortunately for Russians as
soon as they drove into the town they
were hit by an fpv kamikazi drone the
Russian infantry then attempted to
Dismount but they were immediately
engaged by Ukrainian Small Arms fire and
destroyed Ukrainian drone operators also
shared geolocated footage of them
engaging and destroying one Russian t80
tank near stepo and another Armored
Transport vehicle in the fields in front
of bichi itself interestingly enough
both these vehicles were equipped with
electronic warfare systems which should
have countered the Ukrainian drones this
shows that either ukrainians have
adapted to the Russian use of anti-drone
systems and have found ways to counter
them effectively or or that Russian
electronic warfare systems are less
reliable than claimed to be after this
series of failed frontal assaults on the
village itself Russians decided to
attempt to outflank the Ukrainian
defense line behind the river while
Russians successfully managed to break
through to the Ukrainian settlement of
atin Russians immediately launched a
series of flanking attacks on
berichi however Russians are using the
AA chemical plant as a forward operating
base as the many industrial buildings
allow Russian assault groups to hide and
support their attacks with armored
vehicles in an attempt to attack from
this direction they had to cover a lot
of open terrain to even get close to the
Ukrainian lines consequently geolocated
footage released by the 47th mechanized
Brigade shows that the first Russian
assault group consisting of three tanks
was quickly spotted by Ukrainian drone
operators who were already directing
artillery fire missions on Russian
infantry in stepa the Drone operators
and artillery Crews then promptly
shifted their attention to the assault
in Russian tanks destroying them one by
one before they even came close to the
Ukrainian
defenses shortly thereafter Russians
launched three more attacks in the
direction of berichi the next Russian
attack consisted of a single Armored
Transport vehicle that was similarly
spotted early after it departed from the
abiva chemical plant Ukrainian artillery
Crews opened fire on the Russian vehicle
which then got scared and decided to
turn back
around ukrainians did not relent and
continued to fire on the retreating
Russian vehicle hitting it as the white
smoke from its smoke canisters turned
black finishing off the Russian assault
group the next Russian attack managed to
come closer to achieving its objective
of outflanking the Ukrainian defenders
in berichi the Russian assault group
consisted of two armored vehicles and
one allterrain vehicle which managed to
drive past the tree lines north of the
settlement the first armored vehicle
however was then promptly destroyed by
Ukrainian artillery while the second
only got
disabled the Russian infantry on top of
the second vehicle quickly dismounted
their disabled transport and tried to
run into the tree line for cover
ukrainians again did not relent an open
fire on the Russian infantry completely
dismantling the Russian attack the last
Aline vehicle was then sent forward to
support the attack but as it was
unarmored it stood no chance against the
Ukrainian artillery drone operators of
the 47th mechanized Brigade later
released another video of them
destroying a Russian alter vehicle with
an fpv kamikazi drone while Russians
failed in their attempts to take berichi
directly they managed to further develop
their breakthrough into the settlement
of
Tini at that point the situation became
increasingly dire for the Ukrainian
defenders in berichi as they were forced
to fight off Russian attacks from nearly
all sides almost 2 weeks after the
initial unsuccessful Russian attacks on
berichi Russians had managed to bypass
the Ukrainian settlement and cut off its
main supply line
altogether this forced the Ukrainian
47th mechanized Brigade responsible for
the Region’s defense to completely
withdraw from the settlement as stay in
their positions would be
suicide in the end ukrainians have now
fully withdrawn from their defenses in
berichi the 47th mechanized Brigade held
the line for as long as possible but
ultimately was forced to pull back as
Russians had broken through their
Northern flank it is important to note
that Russians allocated nearly an entire
division of motorized infantry and
multiple other brigades to the otina
direction and while berichi used to be a
small village of less than 300 people
Russians had lost nearly 1500 soldiers
and dozens of armored vehicles in their
attempts to take it if ukrainians
continue to inflict such a high rate of
losses on the Russian forces the Russian
detachments will quickly lose their
combat capability causing a premature
culmination of the offensive effort and
consolidation of the front

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the seven-hundred-ninety-seventh day of the war.

Day 797: Apr 30

Today, there is a lot of news from the Avdiivka direction.

Here, Russians have launched a series of costly attacks on the Ukrainian settlement of Berdychi to take it into a pocket.

The main Russian goal to the Northwest of Avdiivka is to break through Ukrainian defensive lines and reach the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, which serves as the main Ukrainian headquarters in the region. The first Ukrainian line of defense in the way of the Russian operation is located along the Durna River. Ever since the fall of Avdiivka, Russians have been continuously attempting to breach these Ukrainian defenses in multiple locations.

The settlement of Berdychi is situated on the outermost edge of the Ukrainian river defenses, which is why it has seen the highest intensity of clashes in this direction. After Russian forces managed to cross the railway, they immediately launched numerous waves of attacks in the direction of Berdychi. The Ukrainian 47th mechanized brigade shared drone footage showcasing the Russian losses on the road between Stepove and Berdychi since the fall of Avdiivka.

The notable Russian losses on this road amounted to 20 armored transport vehicles, eight all-terrain vehicles, two engineering vehicles, and several other weapons systems. The Ukrainian brigade stated that Russians had lost up to 1300 soldiers only in these attacks in an attempt to reach the settlement, as the footage also shows the fields and the road itself being scattered with Russian manpower losses. The 47th mechanized brigade also shared footage of them counterattacking one of these Russian assaults with a Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, disabling and destroying the Russian armored vehicle in a duel.

After the incredibly costly Russian attacks, Russians finally managed to reach the settlement of Berdychi itself. Geolocated footage shows Russian forces launching attacks with one or two armored vehicles at a time. Drone operators of the 47th mechanized brigade shared geolocated footage of them destroying a Russian armored transport vehicle that had made it into the settlement with an FPV drone. Another geolocated video shows a Russian assault group attempting to rush into the settlement and take up positions in the destroyed houses. Unfortunately for Russians, as soon as they drove into the town, they were hit by an FPV kamikaze drone. The Russian infantry then attempted to dismount, but they were immediately engaged by Ukrainian small-arms fire and destroyed.

Ukrainian drone operators also shared geolocated footage of them engaging and destroying one Russian T-80 tank near Stepove and another armored transport vehicle in the fields in front of Berdychi itself. Interestingly enough, both these vehicles were equipped with Electronic Warfare systems, which should have countered the Ukrainian drones. This shows that either Ukrainians have adapted to the Russian use of Anti-Drone systems and have found ways to counter them effectively or that Russian Electronic Warfare systems are less reliable than claimed to be.

After this series of failed frontal assaults on the village itself, Russians decided to attempt to outflank the Ukrainian defense line behind the river. While Russians successfully managed to break through to the Ukrainian settlement of Ocheretyne, Russians immediately launched a series of flanking attacks on Berdychi. However, Russians are using the Avdiivka chemical plant as a forward operating base, as the many industrial buildings allow Russian assault groups to hide and support their attacks with armored vehicles. In an attempt to attack from this direction, they had to cover a lot of open terrain to even get close to the Ukrainian lines. Consequently, geolocated footage released by the 47th mechanized brigade shows that the first Russian assault group, consisting of three tanks, was quickly spotted by Ukrainian drone operators, who were already directing artillery fire missions on Russian infantry in Stepove. The drone operators and artillery crews then promptly shifted their attention to the assaulting Russian tanks, destroying them one by one before they even came close to the Ukrainian defenses…
