Visual Confirmation: Troop and Vehicle Penetration of the Surovikin Line
Not a breakthrough just yet, but might be on the brink
Based on a recently uploaded video by russians, it's evident that Ukrainian forces successfully penetrated the Surovikin Line and disembarked infantry beyond it. Satellite imagery substantiates these developments, hinting at Ukrainian vehicles crossing Surovikin's Line.
A bit further south from the first image, the video captures a crossroad that was shelled by russians. In the background, you can see the burned area near the Surovikin Line, and the presence of black smoke in the image suggests that some object caught on fire.
Utilizing geolocation data from the video, it's evident that our forces executed maneuvers effectively, driving back the enemy and exploiting the gap. They have advanced close to Verbove, overcoming AT trenches, minefields, and dragon's teeth. A notable milestone.
The heavily edited russian video leaves uncertainty about whether our troops established a bridgehead. It's an encouraging and positive sign, and there is no doubt that russians will try to downplay it. I don't say it's a breakthrough just yet because it appears that the russians still maintain organized defenses, and it remains uncertain whether the breach has been secured and can be used as a permanent passage for supplies, vehicles, and personnel. However, this is indeed a highly significant development, and the coming days are likely to hold great importance for the further development of the counter-offensive.
