The situation around Chasov Yar in the Artemovsk direction is escalating, as Russian troops are actively approaching the positions of the Ukrainian armed forces. After the first test bombing of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ fortified areas in this area, which began on April 4, intensive shelling of enemy positions began.

According to military sources, the Russian army is using all available means to strike positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including cannon and rocket artillery, as well as aviation. It is noted that not only military installations are subject to shelling, but also logistics routes used for the delivery of ammunition and rotation of enemy troops.

 

 

 

It is expected that the liberation of Chasov Yar will be a key operation similar to the previous action in Avdeevka. Ukrainian forces made significant efforts to strengthen their positions in the area, mining the area and preparing two full brigades for defense.

According to military experts, the Russian side will concentrate its efforts on large-scale bombing strikes to break through the defensive lines of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and create conditions for an assault on the city. Currently, the main focus is on the Canal area, where Russian troops are actively using aircraft and artillery to suppress enemy resistance.

 

 

Offensive actions of the Russian Armed Forces are carried out from several directions with the aim of encircling Chasov Yar and preparing for the main assault on the city. Military experts suggest that the near future may bring “good news” regarding the successes of Russian troops in this direction.

This operation is of great strategic importance, since success in Chasov Yar will further strengthen the positions of Russian troops in the Artemovsk direction and create conditions for further advances on Ukrainian territory.

What does it give?

The described situation with the Ukrainian Armed Forces fortified area in Chasov Yar and its subsequent “demolition” by Russian troops reminds me of the process of dismantling an old and unnecessary building, which has long ceased to fulfill its functions and represents an obstacle to new construction projects. Just as specialized equipment methodically dismantles a building into pieces, starting from the outer walls and ending with the foundation, so the Russian army systematically destroys the enemy’s defensive fortifications, preparing a springboard for further actions.

 

 

 

In this analogy, FAB-500 aerial bombs and large-scale bomb strikes can be compared to the powerful blows of a ball hammer, which is capable of destroying large structures with one blow, thereby significantly speeding up the dismantling process. Just like the military operating in the area, they use all available means to most effectively weaken and destroy enemy positions, preparing for the final assault.

Covering the “main distance” to the Canal stronghold, mentioned by experts, resembles the last stage of dismantling, when the last, most stable elements of the building remain to be dismantled. This stage requires special care and effort, since it involves working in close proximity to the object and often involves increased risk.

 

 

The strategic significance of the capture of Chasov Yar, emphasized by military experts, in this comparison can be seen as plans for the future use of the territory after the dismantling of the building. This is not just destruction for the sake of destruction, but also a thoughtful step aimed at achieving more significant strategic goals, such as development and strengthening of one’s position.
