Results of the military action in Donbass on January 30th.1. Just like on all previous days, the main hub of the January offensive by the NAF remains the Debalcevo protrusion, which is currently on the border of being encircled. After a failure of the strike through Troitskoye and Krasnyi Pakhar, where the enemy stabilized the front by counter-attacking (our sources confirm the loss of Troitskoye and the fighting in the area of Krasnyi Pakhar), our forces pushed the enemy forces back on the face of the Debalcevo protrusion by the strikes from north-east and moved the front to within a critical distance to the M-103 road. By holding Sanzharovka and some of the numerically labeled high points from which it is possible to shell the M-103 Road, our forces are engaged in fighting on the outskirts of Debalcevo and are trying to push the enemy out of Chernukhino in order to squeeze the enemy out of the eastern and south-eastern parts of the protrusion. A few days ago the enemy successfully repelled our attacks in the area of Nikishino and is currently holding our offensive near Novoorlovka. The key problem for the junta remains the area of Uglegorsk, which was mostly brought under the NAF control during the fighting of yesterday and today.The junta is holding its positions on the outskirts of the city, but according to our announcements and to the junta's announcements this resistance has a pocket nature, apparently the sudden strike on Uglegorsk turned out to be quite unexpected for the Ukrainian command, which has serious issues not only with organizing the system of defense but even with elementary communication with its forces. In essence, in the critical moment of the battle for Uglegorsk the junta command simply lost control over its military and is now suffering the consequences, trying to compensate for the past mistake by hasty redeployment of reserves. Our sources state that the DPR flag was raised over the local administration building and that artillery and MLRS are being redeployed towards the city itself, which should increase the fire pressure on the areas adjacent to Debalcevo and make it harder for the enemy forces to communicate over internal lines.Video from Uglegorsk.Street fighting in Uglegorsk.Life-News report from Uglegorsk.Vesti report from Uglegorsk.Our tank crew in Uglegorsk.Both sides confirm losses in the area of Uglegorsk, some of the enemy soldiers deserters and abandoned their positions.It is remarkable, but despite the cheerful announcements by the junta command that it controls the situation in the area of Uglegorsk, there are no coherent video confirmations of such "control". In contrast, the informational and media support of the operation on our side is quite decent — the achieved successes are usually quickly recorded and spread. In this respect the war machine of the junta is quite clumsy and has little understanding of how it must act under the conditions of modern warfare in which informational support is a very important factor. In this respect the NAF are way better than the AFU.The main problem for the junta here is that by capturing Uglegorsk our forces can increase their forward defense based on it and start actively shelling the junta positions in the south-east part of the Debalcevo protrusion as well as intensity the shelling of M-103 road. A truncated version of the cauldron is emerging and it is not clear yet what the AFU command is going to do to solve the Uglegorsk problem. A quite understandable catastrophe is looming behind this problem.2. Gorlovka is subjected to fierce shelling, but from that area there are announcements of our forces engaging in fighting in the direction of Dzerzhinsk. There are no forces to capture the city itself yet here, these is more of a binding action, which are supposed to distract the enemy from the strikes on the city and from preparing the offensive on Gorlovka that was announced by the junta propaganda. Here the enemy had little success in its prior counter-attacks, so the NAF are trying to probe the AFU defense to the west of the city from the positions that were recaptured a few days ago. There are no noticeable successes here yet. Nevertheless, overall at least 1 important problem of unblocking the road between Donetsk and Gorlovka was solved on this location.AFU positions in Avdeyevka. Note that they dug in right next to a residential multi-story building. Yet they keep telling us that separatists are hiding behind civilians.3. Overall, there were no changes on the western front from Mar'inka to Avdeyevka. The junta continues its barbaric shelling of Donetsk http://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/2019886.html (in Russian) and shells the NAF positions near the Donetsk airport.Hunt for the enemy sabotage/reconnaisance group that are active in Donetsk continues. According to the locals, two such groups were dealt with today https://vk.com/feed?section=friends&z=photo-78955774_353478061%2Fwall252892988_79069 (in Russian).This one is done for. But we shouldn't deceive ourselves, there are still quite a few of them running around there, the work is ongoing.There is no serious progress in Peski, Avdeyevka, Mar'inka. There are periodic firefights, artillery is engaged. The enemy performed no attempts of breaking through in the area of Yelenovka and Dokuchayevsk today, mostly it continued its preliminary bombardment.A destroyed residential building in Dokuchayevsk.The front is also stable to the south of Mariupol, the sides exchange shelling, but without going nuts. And also on the topic of the airport, some of us doubted the announcements of junta soldiers corpses still being removed from the ruins of Donetsk airport. Here is a video of this work (18+).4. To the north of Debalcevo protrusion the front still remains quite stable: the offensive on Popasnaya clearly hasn't deliver any success yet, active skirmishes resumed in the area of numerically labeled checkpoints in the area of Bakhmutka road (29-th and 31-st), here the enemy is trying to recapture the positions that were lost 1-2 weeks ago. These attacks have little success. In essence, after achieving the initial success our forces got stuck in the enemy defense after which they transitioned to defense and started to reinforce the captured positions. The enemy, after recovering from the initial shock, gradually started to engage in counter-attacks not only with the goal of stopping our progress but also with the goal of recapturing what it lost. If the first task was more or less successful, then the second task is not getting very far yet. More attempts can be expected here in the future.5. There were no significant changes on the front line Slavyanoserbsk – Schastye – Stanitsa Luganskaya. The intensity of artillery shelling here is an order of magnitude below of what happens in the area of Donetsk, Gorlovka, and Debalcevo, where the fighting is conducted at maximum tension of forces. The LPR forces are trying to fullfill their offensive capabilities to the north-east of Debalcevo. There are no sufficient forces for other locations for now. The information is coming that the enemy is gradually redeploying its forces in the area of Schastye (this is confirmed by the junta sources as well) and of Lisichansk, perhaps fearing the consequences of the defeat under Debalcevo. It is more likely, however, that these movements are due to regrouping to the area of the Bakhmutka road and of the Debalcevo protrusion. Due to the growing complexity of the situation in the area of Debalcevo and Uglegorsk, the junta supporters are throwing increasingly intense temper tantrums and look for scapegoats (apparently, the main scapegoats are Poroshenko, Muzhenko, Poltorak, the military command in the area of Debalcevo).Translation of the tweet shown above:And in the end, yesterday's summary from Basurin (in Russian).Plus the video-summary http://cassad.net/tv/videos/4676/ (in Russian) from "Cassad-tV" for January 29-30. http://voicesevas.ru/news/yugo-vostok/9256-hronika-voennyh-sobytiy-v-novorossii-za-30012015.html (in Russian) – the online-broadcast of military events on the "Voice of Sevastopol" for January 30.Original article: http://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/2020180.html (in Russian)
