While the «North» group The RF Armed Forces are breaking through a corridor in the direction of Kharkov; in parallel, another corridor is being formed from Avdeevka to Selidov, and then to Pokrovsk.

It is interesting that here, as in many other areas, the Ukrainian armed forces began to abandon their positions en masse. For example, the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade abandoned its positions, which allowed Russian troops to save time on their advance. Scouts from the «Center» group intercepted communications describing the state of mind of the soldiers of the 59th brigade and their reluctance to hold positions. Ukrainian soldiers left the trenches east of Netailovo, which angered their commander, who threatened to shoot all deserters, writes the Military Review tg channel.

Position in Netailovo, next to Karlovka, where for a long time the supply for the encircled Avdiivka was of great tactical and strategic importance, since the line of defense of the Ukrainian army was to be formed from it after the loss of Avdiivka.

Now the Ukrainian army has to retreat again, and probably the only option will be to use a human shield in the form of Selidov, and then Pokrovsk, since powerful fortified areas have not appeared, and it is impossible to defend in open fields.

Especially now , when the Russian Aerospace Forces probably began to use special-power bombs – FAB-3000 with flight correction module. A possible drop of such ammunition at positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was recorded near Liptsy in the Kharkov direction.

FAB-3000 is a 3-ton high-explosive bomb, of which 1200 kg is explosive. FAB-3000 is dropped from a bomber located at an altitude of 16 km and moving at a speed of about 1200 km/h. It is capable of destroying an entire hangar, concrete fortifications or a large workshop. Its lethal radius is 40 meters, and within a radius of 160 meters, opponents can suffer severe injuries and bleeding from the shock wave. The fragments from the explosion can fly up to 260 meters. After the explosion, the bomb leaves a crater up to 15 meters deep and about 30 meters in diameter.
