This explains the complaints about lack of artillery support form the Ruskies in other areas, they’ve been saving up stocks for this offensive.

Avdiyivka is of strategic importance for the Russian Federation, as this city is actually the gateway to Donetsk - the main communication hub in the occupied territories. And in order to gain a foothold in captured Donbas, Putin needs to move the front line away from Donetsk.
In 2022, Russian troops launched an offensive on Avdiivka, trying to cover the city in depth from both flanks. However, the Russian offensive was stopped due to the heroic resistance of the Ukrainians.
The battle for Avdiivka will be more fierce than the battle for Vugledar in winter.
The densely built-up areas of Donetsk and Yasynuvata contribute to covert operations, the deployment of artillery in residential areas, and the covert operations of armored vehicles. Russia has concentrated a significant air force, which uses high-precision weapons, a large number of projectiles, which could be obtained from North Korea and Iran.
The Russians are trying to create a major advantage in drones. Russian drones, together with artillery, are used to attack forward positions, the enemy is trying to open the way for his infantry and tanks to break through the battle formations of our troops, primarily with the use of a large number of high-precision ammunition.
The main blow comes from the south of Avdiivka. Unlike the first offensive on Avdiivka, which lasted from July 22nd to March 23rd, now the city is planned to be covered in a much shorter arc. But the enemy is trying to avoid fighting in urban areas and create an encirclement threat for our troops in the city.
The situation is very serious, the battle for Avdiivka requires concentration of all resources.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine also have their advantages in this area. We understand well where and how the enemy is going to go. Now these advantages must be implemented. Our artillery and strike drones have many targets.
A very difficult battle began.
That one guy knew what was up - smart move, looks like it may have saved his life.Alright don't click on this unless you're willing to see some Russians die but it demonstrates a very interesting development in FPV drone capability, namely airburst on command.
Russians tend to shoot to kill any retreating soldiers. So maybe, maybe not.That one guy knew what was up - smart move, looks like it may have saved his life.
I mean who knows but he didn't get immediately exploded like his buddies. I thought it was interesting though that clearly as soon as he heard the incoming drone he was like 'fuck this' and took off while everyone else figured (apparently incorrectly) that their vehicle would protect them.Russians tend to shoot to kill any retreating soldiers. So maybe, maybe not.
Depends if the blocking units were feeling up to the job that day.
Interesting cross pattern, I almost wonder if they just strapped some claymores to the bottom in an X pattern. Might be a little too simple thoughAlright don't click on this unless you're willing to see some Russians die but it demonstrates a very interesting development in FPV drone capability, namely airburst on command.
Imagine if the Iraqis had those for us 20 years ago, during our occupation.Interesting cross pattern, I almost wonder if they just strapped some claymores to the bottom in an X pattern. Might be a little too simple though
Yikes.

@Young Grasshopper as a lover of peace you have to be happy to see all these attempts at aggression destroyed.
Nice gazebo!
Russian Orthodox holy water is a sure fire ticket to Hell.
Beyond possibly deflecting thrown vodka bottles, what are these things supposed to accomplish?Russian Orthodox holy water is a sure fire ticket to Hell.
