Russia and North Korea would have possibly lost around 400 infantrymen in a single-man attempt to capture the village of Makhnovka in western Russia’s Kursk oblast last week.
Near the Ukrainians. Volodymyr Zelensky transmitted the news of General Oleksandr Syrskyi, the Ukrainian commander in chief, on Saturday “in today’s battles and near a single village, Makhnovka in the Kursk region, the Russian army lost to a infantry battalion, adding towards The North of the North Korean infantry soldiers and Russian paratrooper, “Zelensky said” and is tangible. “
Makhnovka, who is not in the non -man at the eastern point of the Ukrainian troops that stand out from Kursk’s sculpted miles in August, has been the scene of fierce fights for days. The videos that circulate on social networks constitute Russian and North Korean troops that walk in the village and are attacked through the Ukrainian infantry, tanks and drones.
Analyst Andrew Perpetua, who scans social media to count Russian and Ukrainian losses, appeared to check on the sick Russians Zelensky faced. “I feel like I’m watching a total Russian battalion in a single video,” Perpetua said Monday. He said he had visually shown 408 patients in one day.
The segment of 4 thousand of the front line between Makhnovka in the north and Plekhove in the south is the maximum extensive sector in Kursk. The clashes were less common around Makhnovka than were, for example, Zelenyi Shylakh in the western aspect of the outgoing.
But it is conceivable that the singles fights in Makhnovka and Plekhove were bloody. Attacking in 3 waves through open fields leading out of the Plekhove gates on December 14, more than 500 North Korean infantry despite everything controlled to expel the hundred Ukrainian troops holding the village.
But walking loosely on snowy terrain, the North Koreans were simple targets for drones and withdrawn Ukrainian artillery. North Korea’s losses, killed and wounded, would possibly have accounted for more than part of the strike force, Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsaplienko said.
Last weekend’s Russian attack on Makhnovka arguably would have been even more costly and less successful. Not only is Makhnovka still in the gray domain between Ukrainian and Russian control, however, there is evidence that Ukrainian troops, perhaps from the 61st Mechanized Brigade, 36th 36th separated. Battalion, or attached territorial brigades: complex at close range in about the same amount of time until 400 Russians were killed or wounded on the same terrain.
The strong losses in the Russian and North Korean aspect are beginning to weigh on the two -month counteroffensive led by Russian in Kursk. “In Kursk Oblast, fighting operations have intensified at the maximum level, which forces the Russian grouping there to spending everything to be resources, “said the Ukraine Defense Strategies Center.
“It comes in an incredibly shameful and disadvantageous moment for them,” the group added. “If extensive fighting continue for five to 10 days, the Russian group will have to be temporarily rebuilt, because it already suffers significant counterweight losses. This refueling can only be carried out through the redistribution of the forces of the other sections of the front. »
