In today’s August 17, 2025 episode of *Frontline Updates*, Colonel A.C. Oguntoye delivers a sector-by-sector operational briefing anchored in combined-arms doctrine. He details how deliberate contact maneuver dovetailed with deep-fire interdiction across one hundred forty-two target areas, including a strike on a Sapsan missile storage site. Air defense effects included the defeat of four guided aerial bombs and three hundred fixed-wing UAVs, safeguarding rear-area tempo.
In the North, operations from Mogrica to Melovoe reduced artillery, electronic-warfare, and depots; in the West, improved positions around Novoselovka, Kirovsk, Kupyansk, Petrovka, and Petrovskoye degraded maneuver assets and enablers; in the South, the forward trace from Fedorovka to Ivanopolye tightened with the removal of an Israeli-made RADA radar and multiple EW nodes; in the Center, more advantageous lines near Udachnoe, Dimitrov, and Krasnoarmeysk forced lateral reserve shifts as a tank, armored vehicles, an M777, and another RADA radar were eliminated; in the East, advances at Poltavka, Zeleny Hai, and Ivanivka lifted reconnaissance-strike efficiency with further M777 losses; along the Dnipro frontage, actions from Novoandreivka to Kazatske suppressed EW and depots.
The Colonel closes with the cumulative tallies since the start of the operation and outlines the immediate risks and tasks required to convert positional gains into maneuver advantage.
