Ukrainian armed forces are overcoming Russian fortifications on the southern front lines and breaking the Russian defense line. This breakthrough of the Ukrainian army is alarming the Russian troops. The Russian military is resorting to various means to block the Ukrainian armed forces and prevent them from advancing further. The most prominent solution that senior Russian military officials have come up with is to deploy more troops to the southern front line. But we know that the year-and-a-half-long war in Ukraine has significantly weakened Russian troop numbers. Nevertheless, Russian commanders are driving mixed groups of elite troops and ill-equipped soldiers towards the southern front line. By focusing all their attention on the south, the Russians neglect the eastern front. Taking advantage of this situation, the Ukrainian armed forces are accelerating their advance on the eastern front line. Western munitions are the biggest help for the Ukrainians who want to corner the Russian army with fierce clashes on the eastern axis. The cluster munitions supplied by the United States to the Ukrainian armed forces have sparked controversy, but they have contributed greatly to Kiev's success. The importance of cluster munitions became clear once again the other day. Let's explore the details of the role of Western munitions in the Ukrainian war and see how this has devastated the Russian army. Yesterday, Ukrainian forces neutralized Russian infantry with cluster munitions near the village of Klishchiyivka in the Bakhmut direction. The military's combat work in this area was revealed by DeepState project analysts. 155 mm M864 cluster shells are used to defeat the Russian infantry. The fire is adjusted thanks to a reconnaissance aircraft equipped with a thermal imager. The Russian position shelled by US artillery shells is located between the villages of Klishchiyivka and Opytne. The video shows how the submunitions explode in a circular pattern, the effect of US M864 cluster bombs. 72 grenades of the M864 were placed inside the projectile. These are 48 small M42 HEAT-Frag grenades and 24 larger M46. When submunitions scatter and explode in a circle, they create a continuous field of destruction and fragmentation. This is why the impact zone of the cluster shells looks like a circle. Recently, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that the Defense Forces intend to liberate the settlement in the near future. Seeking to take advantage of the neutralization of Russian troops with cluster munitions, the Ukrainian armed forces demolished the crossing gate in the area. In the Bakhmut area near Klishchiivka, a Russian crossing with armored vehicles was destroyed. The crossing was discovered by Ukrainian reconnaissance drones adjusting artillery fire. The position was defeated by the 45th Artillery Brigade. This bridge crossing was supposed to help the Russians move their armored vehicles towards Klishchiivka, south of Bakhmut. Several infantry fighting vehicles of the invaders were destroyed near the crossing. Another destroyed and abandoned infantry fighting vehicle was shown by Territorial Defense soldiers near Klishchiivka. This position is located near the destroyed Russian bridge crossing. Ukrainian analyst Roman Bochkala published a video of the National Guard of Ukraine featuring a burning Russian tank near Klishchiivka. The caption of the video says that the aerial reconnaissance of the Ukrainian National Guard showed that a tank burned and exploded in Klishchiivka. It is also worth noting that two destroyed infantry fighting vehicles are standing next to the defeated tank. As previously reported, in late August Ukrainian forces defeated Russian armored vehicles attempting to advance near Klishchiivka. On the other hand, Ukrainian troops successfully destroyed artillery and rocket artillery of the occupiers in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions. The American M142 HIMARS rocket system and unmanned aerial vehicles were used in the artillery attack. 2S19 Msta-S, 2S5 Giatsint-S self-propelled howitzers and BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launchers were attacked. The army destroyed a 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled howitzer in Kupiansk district of Kharkiv region. After the attack, the invaders' self-propelled howitzer caught fire and then exploded, completely destroying the howitzer. US M142 HIMARS rocket systems were used against Russian artillery in the Donetsk region. BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launchers were hit. A 152 mm 2S5 Giatsint-S self-propelled howitzer was also destroyed in the Donetsk region. It was eliminated due to an octocopter converted to use ammunition.
