In September, Russian troops suffered significant personnel losses in the Novopavlivka direction in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The enemy is being depleted. This is reported with reference to the Telegram channel of the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade (OMBr).
Details
The brigade command reported on the situation in the Novopavlivka sector it is defending.
According to confirmed intelligence data, in September, the total irretrievable losses of units of the 5th Army of the Russian Federation amounted to 1,848 servicemen, of whom 734 were buried and excluded from the lists of military units.
The brigade noted that the 127th Motorized Rifle Division, operating directly against the 110th OMBr and other units, suffered the greatest losses:
- Division command - 3 people;
- 114th Motorized Rifle Regiment - 411 people;
- 143rd Motorized Rifle Regiment - 194 people;
- 218th Tank Regiment - 168 people;
- 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment - 431 people;
- 1171st Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment - 1 person;
- 872nd Engineer Battalion - 2 people;
- 77th Separate Reconnaissance Battalion - 5 people.
Total - 1215 irretrievable losses in just one division
Analytical conclusions
The 100th OMBr also noted that the 127th Motorized Rifle Division is the main strike force of the enemy in the Novopavlivka direction. Its units bear the main losses - more than 65% of the total losses of the 5th Army.
The largest losses were recorded in the 114th and 394th motorized rifle regiments.
Losses of the tank regiment (218th regiment - 168 people) indicate a significant weakening of the armored component. This limits the enemy's ability to conduct assaults with armored support.
Reconnaissance, engineering, and air defense units also suffered losses, which reduces the effectiveness of coordination and preparation of offensive actions.
In general, the enemy shows a tendency to depletion. Units of the 127th division have lost a significant part of their personnel, which forces the command to replenish them with mobilized reserves, losing quality and combat capability.
"In general, the enemy, mainly represented by the forces of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Federation, suffered more than 1,200 irretrievable losses in just one month," the report says.
Recall
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported more than 12,000 Russian losses since the beginning of the Dobropillia counteroffensive operation, which started on August 21. Of these, more than 7,200 are irretrievable.
