In the Melitopol area, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation may deliberately withdraw from their positions in order to lure the Ukrainian military into traps. This was reported by the fighter of the "Legion of Freedom" Konstantin Denisov.
What is known about the tactics of the Russian Armed Forces in the Melitopol direction
The enemy is very mean and treacherous. Our boys fell into a trap twice in the last week and miraculously got out of it, said Kostiantyn Denisov.
He noted that the occupiers retreated to certain areas as if leaving their positions, after which Ukrainian fighters entered, and the enemy began to fire. Also, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can deliberately drive the AFU to local sections of roads to start shooting. According to Denisov, the militants set many traps because they understand that they cannot succeed head-on, time and time again.
He also said that tactical successes of Ukraine's Armed Forces are being observed in the direction of Melitopol. In particular, they are related to many factors: the heroism of the assault infantry, the work of artillery, and Western weapons. Kostyantyn Denisov emphasized that the Defense Forces have recently taken advantageous positions in this direction. Still, the advance comes at a heavy price, as the occupiers are constantly attacking with artillery and trying to counterattack.
In addition, the enemy's situation with FPV drones has improved. With them, he presses down the Ukrainian infantry and prevents them from actively repelling attacks, and Russian UAVs also hunt military equipment.
The HQ of the occupiers was blown up in Melitopol
According to intelligence, the powerful explosion on November 11 in the temporarily occupied Melitopol is "a revenge action carried out by representatives of the local resistance movement."
The Russians made their headquarters in the "New Post" premises on Dmytro Dontsov Street.
The attack on the headquarters was carried out during a meeting of the occupiers — FSB and Russia’s National Guard.
DIU said that as a result of the explosion in the headquarters of the occupiers, at least three officers of the Russian Guard were eliminated. Information on other enemy losses is being clarified.
Intelligence also explains that an hour before the meeting, the Russians blocked traffic on the adjacent section of the road from the Melitopol Auto-Hydroaggregat (AHAT) enterprise to the former Melitopol Refrigeration Engineering Plant “Refma”.
