In addition to yesterday's Russian mechanized attacks on Dubrofilia, another major mechanized attack took place further east in the Zoloti Kolodiaz area.
According to Ukrainian channels, the convoy included more than 10 armored personnel carriers, 3 tanks, 3 BMPs and dozens of other personnel on light vehicles and motorcycles.
According to reports, the armored vehicles managed to reach the "New Donbass" line before being destroyed, where the infantry then descended south of Rozka. The light vehicles disembarked roughly where the front line is now, north of Shahwa.
It appears that the objective of the attack with armored vehicles was to consolidate in the gray area south of Rozka to begin breaching this line of defense consisting of anti-tank trenches, barbed wire and dragon's tooth fortifications. To do this, Russia needed a large mass of infantry directly south of this line, and it seemed the most convenient way to achieve this was to move large numbers of troops there in armored vehicles under the cover of the fog. This means that even if all the vehicles were destroyed, the Russian attack objectives may still have been achieved, like what we saw in Shahva a few months ago.
The purpose of the attack with light vehicles was apparently to strengthen positions that had already been established north of Shahva and to expand their area of control to the gray area further north, which could then be used to evacuate Ukrainian positions between the location of the armored vehicle and the liberation.
