Russia transferred the 76th Airborne Assault Division to Kurshchyna. For what purpose

76th Airborne Assault Division

Due to high losses in manpower, the Russian command transfers the 76th Airborne Assault Division of the Russian Federation to the Kursk Region to resume offensive assault operations against the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • Russia transferred the 76th Airborne Assault Division to Kurshchyna due to high losses in manpower and to resume offensive assault operations against the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
  • The Defense Forces of Ukraine are successfully repelling attacks and destroying enemy equipment in Kurshchyna, forcing the enemy to conduct active combat operations on their own territory.
  • By concentrating its most trained military units in Kurshchyna, Russia aims to relieve the pressure in the eastern direction and engage in strategic offensives.
  • The Russian military's use of 50 anti-aircraft missiles in Kurshchyna signifies an escalation in assault operations and a continuous push to gain control over the territory.
  • The situation in the Kursk region reflects the ongoing battle between the Defense Forces of Ukraine and the Russian invaders, showcasing the strategic maneuvers and defense tactics employed by both sides.

Russia is saturating Kurshchyna with new military units

This was reported on TV by acting Viktor Kravtsov, head of the communications department of the 82nd Bukovyna brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

To a certain extent, the enemy is concentrating its forces in Kurshchyna, bringing more and more units here. It is known that the 76th Airborne Assault Division of the Russian Federation was redeployed here in connection with the losses suffered by the units of the marines and airborne troops of the Russian Federation to resume offensive assault operations. And the enemy still aims to push us away from this area as soon as possible. We continue to defend.

He also said that the enemy is accumulating equipment in this war zone, but the Defense Forces are effectively destroying it.

In fact, the Russians are stockpiling equipment, but only the day before yesterday, 35 or 37 pieces of equipment were destroyed. So, our brigade acts tactically, acts correctly, and a large amount of equipment has already been destroyed.

Answering a question about how the fighting in the Kursk region is now affecting the situation at the front in Ukraine, Kravtsov noted that they relieve the enemy's pressure in the eastern direction.

Observing the course of hostilities both in the east and in the north of our country, we can draw a certain conclusion that the Russian army is transferring its most combat-ready and best-prepared units to Kurshchyna. And I believe that this is what they relieve a little of the pressure in the eastern direction.

Russian invaders

Russia launched an offensive in the Kursk region

In Kurshchyna, on November 11, the Russian military used 50 anti-aircraft missiles to attack Defense Forces positions.

This was stated on TV by the spokesman of the operational-tactical group of troops "Siversk", Colonel Vadym Mysnyk of the ZSU.

From the 7th (November — ed.), the enemy began another large-scale wave of pressure and assaults on our positions. Accumulates his strength. Very large-scale assault operations. Where the weather conditions still allow, they (occupiers — ed.) try to drive by vehicles, carry out assault actions. They are constantly pressing, but if you take the territory controlled by the Defense Forces of Ukraine in Kurshchyna, the enemy will strike.

In particular, he used 50 KABs during the past day. If we take the entire border area, the rest controlled by our group is almost 1,000 kilometers, there the enemy engaged 14 anti-tank missiles, for comparison. We force the enemy to conduct active hostilities on their territory.
