Russia pours waves of troops into the besieged Ukrainian city of Avdiivka in the east of the state, taking heavy casualties. Absolute chaos is unfolding in the Ukrainian city of Avdiivka, where these new Russian tactics are wearing down the Uranians defending the site.
“The field is really full of corpses,” said Oleksandr, a deputy head of a Ukrainian battalion in the Ukrainian army’s 47th Mechanized Brigade.

The new Russian tactic, which focuses on increased infantry attacks against the Ukrainian city, is reminiscent of a past tactic used by Russian forces against Avdiivka recently, in which they surrounded Avdiivka with multiple armored vehicles in each assault. Western experts had reported that in October more than 200 armored personnel carriers had been lost in a failed operation to capture the city.
“Convoys of tanks and armored fighting vehicles were advancing,” recalls a Ukrainian drone operator who goes by the name Trauma. Trauma stated that most of the time the Russian soldiers advance during the evening hours, in groups of five to seven fighters.
The Ukrainian response comes with the help of various weapon systems, including artillery, mortars, grenades and drones, as well as the 25mm Chain Guns of the US M2 Bradley armored fighting vehicles.

The above updates follow reports from Ukraine yesterday, which on Friday 24 November spoke of a third wave of Russian forces attacking Avdiivka in full force and systematically pounding the center of the city’s industrial district.
He closed by saying that Russian forces targeted Avdiivka with aerial bombs and cluster munitions, shelling the city 30 to 40 times each day.
