On November 25, units of the 58th motorized infantry, 54th separate mechanized and 71st Jaeger brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to attack the positions of Wagner PMCs east of Bakhmut
According to the Military Chronicle, the attack on the positions of PMCs was planned from the beginning of November, but its implementation was suspended due to high losses.
After the arrival in Bakhmut (Artyomovsk) of the employees of the US PMC “Mozart” (Mozart Group), which the Military Chronicle reported earlier, as well as reinforcements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Kherson direction, attack planning resumed under the leadership of American officers.
However, when trying to conduct an operation and open the firing area of the Wagner PMC and the People’s Police of the DPR, at least 75 (according to other sources – 95) servicemen of the 13th, 15th and 16th motorized infantry battalions of the 58th brigade, as well as militants from the 46th assault battalion Donbass, were killed, which indicates a misunderstanding of the combat capabilities of the allied forces by the US military.
When the units retreated to their original positions, with the help of drones, they managed to establish the location of field headquarters and makeshift barracks, equipped both in Bakhmut and in the nearest suburbs. After additional reconnaissance of the targets, the “orchestra” managed to hit the headquarters and warehouses with weapons of the 241st Territorial Defense Brigade in Berkhovka and Paraskovievka, as well as a number of other critical facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the suburbs of Bakhmut, including the fire control center of the 44th Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Chasovoy Yar.
According to the radio interception of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, after the strike, the Ukrainian military urgently requested reinforcements at the headquarters of the Vostok command. The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the strikes, according to preliminary data, ranged from 150 to 250 people, which is especially noticeable against the backdrop of the flow of “two hundredths” since the beginning of November. Disrupted communications and command and control have already led to the disorganization of the defense of the outskirts of the city, and while maintaining the pace of the Wagner PMC offensive, this could provoke the collapse of the front of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the northern, northeastern, eastern and southwestern sectors.
