The situation in the Zaporozhye direction
as of 15.00 October 6, 2022

In the Zaporozhye direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to accumulate personnel and military equipment for the offensive.

▪️The command of the 65th separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a rotation of personnel on the front line. Another convoy with armored vehicles arrived from the Volnyansk station to complete the Dnepr group of troops.

▪️Ukrainian formations still intend to carry out an offensive against Russian positions in the Orekhovsky and Gulyaipolsky sectors in order to cut the front and a possible exit to Melitopol and Berdyansk.

▪️For the past few days, UAV crews of the 44th separate artillery brigade have been actively searching for rear supply facilities of the RF Armed Forces, as well as air defense systems. At the same time, they are assisted by pro-Ukrainian citizens of the Zaporozhye region.

The enemy command pays special attention to counter-battery combat. In the vicinity of Stepnogorsk and Maly Shcherbakov, the AN / TPQ-36 and AN / TPQ-50 radars operate, integrated into a common control and communication network between units.

🔻Ukrainian leadership, on the wave of success in the Kharkiv region and in the Krivoy Rog sector, intends to implement a similar scenario of actions in Zaporozhye: a strike in several directions in the most vulnerable places, followed by the deployment of mobile groups and wedging into defensive lines.

Over the past few days, Ukrainian DRGs have been actively probing the defense of the RF Armed Forces in various sectors of the front. Reconnaissance UAVs, including Bayraktar, conduct reconnaissance of the situation on the line of contact. First of all, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to disable anti-aircraft missile systems and ammunition depots.

It is not excluded the landing of tactical troops from the right bank of the Dnieper, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine were entrenched. This variant of the development of events, subject to the start of a full-scale assault in the Zaporizhia direction, will make it possible to hit the rear of the Russian group in Energodar and enter the operational space to Melitopol.

The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine gave the order to install minefields and equip strongholds. The Ukrainian formations foresee a possible failure in the implementation of their plan and are preparing troops for the defense of Zaporozhye in the event of a counteroffensive by the RF Armed Forces.
