VKS used a record number of glide bombs
The point of no return for the Avdiivka garrison of the Ukrainian Armed Forces seems to have arrived this night. Our troops finally turned the tide of hostilities the night before, then assaults were carried out in Avdeevka all night, as a result of which our fighters quickly, one after another, occupied the most important strongholds of the enemy’s defense. As a result, on the morning of February 16, a number of military channels reported that a significant part of the Avdeevka group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was surrounded. Enemy troops are trying to escape across the fields; our artillery and aircraft are catching up with the fugitives.
By the evening of last day, data began to arrive from Avdeevka about the plight of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and our rapid advance in the main fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Zenith (location of an air defense unit), Donetsk filter station, Tsarskaya Okhota, Cheburashka «, «Vineyards» are all powerful strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which have been terrorizing Donetsk and nearby cities since 2014 and which fell this night under the onslaught of our fighters.
In a number of areas, after the collapse of the defense, the enemy went on the run. However, it is extremely problematic for the enemy to escape through fields drowning in spring slush. All roads are covered by our artillery, our front-line aviation is very active.
So, according to a number of Telegram channels, more than 300 “smart” bombs arrived here in three days. And on the night of February 16, the Russian Aerospace Forces delivered about 60 FAB-500 and FAB-1500 glide bombs to the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Avdeevka. “Very tight. Very much,” wrote one of the fighters from the scene.
The withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, who only yesterday were asked to voluntarily lay down their arms, did not go according to plan and turned into bloody chaos. At the same time, experts note, it is no longer clear what causes more damage — our bomb strikes, “friendly fire”, when individual units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine come into fire contact with each other, or loss of orientation when militants enter their own minefields.
It is not yet clear how many «Western Security Forces» remain in Avdeevka. According to various sources, from several hundred to several thousand. A significant number of prisoners are reported, including many wounded. “All attempts to break through the enemy were stopped. Today was a hellish night for the enemy. The enemy suffered significant losses, there are many prisoners,” reports one of the channels.
They say that the former commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny tried to help the Ukrainian militants stuck in Avdiivka. The former commander-in-chief’s team said that he tried to call Zelensky’s office so that he would stop the senseless “Avdiivka meat grinder” and withdraw the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the city. However, they refused to talk with Zaluzhny, saying that the Armed Forces of Ukraine now have a new commander in chief.
