Updated Analysis of the Military Situation in Ukraine: March 17, 2025, 15:01 UTC

Key Changes and Developments (14:31 UTC - 15:01 UTC)

  1. REPORTED NEW UKRAINIAN TACTIC IN KHERSON OBLAST (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):

    • Colonelcassad (14:33 UTC): Claims that Ukrainian forces in the Kherson Oblast areas adjacent to the Dnieper River are using a new tactic. Claims that Ukrainian forces are placing drones on the roofs of multi-story buildings, and that when a vehicle of interest appears, the drone descends to the roof of the vehicle and follows it to its destination, where it then drops its explosive payload.
    • Assessment: This, IF CONFIRMED, indicates a SIGNIFICANT ADAPTATION in UKRAINIAN DRONE TACTICS. This method would CONSERVE DRONE BATTERY POWER by MINIMIZING FLIGHT TIME, allowing for LONGER-RANGE SURVEILLANCE and POTENTIALLY MORE PRECISE TARGETING. It also suggests a HIGH LEVEL OF COORDINATION between DRONE OPERATORS and GROUND-BASED OBSERVERS. This tactic POSES A SERIOUS THREAT to RUSSIAN VEHICLES, particularly LOGISTICAL VEHICLES, in the AREA. URGENT VERIFICATION is required, including GATHERING IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE, SIGNAL INTELLIGENCE, and HUMAN INTELLIGENCE from the AREA.
  2. REPORTED UKRAINIAN ATTEMPTS TO ATTACK RUSSIAN INFRASTRUCTURE (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):

    • ASTRA (14:34 UTC): Reports that on March 15, Ukrainian forces attempted to attack an ammunition depot and oil facilities in Volgograd Oblast, Russia. Claims that 44 drones were shot down near a military unit in Kotluban, 6 near a Lukoil refinery, and 6 near a Transneft facility. Claims no damage or casualties. Notes previous attacks on these facilities.
    • Assessment: This REINFORCES PREVIOUS REPORTS of UKRAINIAN ATTEMPTS to STRIKE TARGETS DEEP WITHIN RUSSIAN TERRITORY. The TARGETING OF AN AMMUNITION DEPOT and OIL FACILITIES indicates an effort to DISRUPT RUSSIAN LOGISTICS and DAMAGE ITS WAR ECONOMY. The HIGH NUMBER OF DRONES REPORTEDLY SHOT DOWN suggests a MAJOR UKRAINIAN EFFORT, but also RUSSIAN AIR DEFENSE EFFECTIVENESS. VERIFICATION OF THE REPORTED DAMAGE (OR LACK THEREOF) is important.
  3. REPORTED RUSSIAN ADVANCE IN GONCHAROVKA (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE, VIDEO EVIDENCE):

    • Kotsnews (14:35 UTC): Provides video footage of Goncharovka, Kursk Oblast, Russia, claiming it was taken after Sudzha. Claims extensive destruction and abandoned NATO equipment, particularly on "Peace Street."
    • Assessment: This SUPPORTS PREVIOUS CLAIMS of RUSSIAN ADVANCES in the KURSK REGION. The VIDEO FOOTAGE, IF AUTHENTIC, provides EVIDENCE OF DESTRUCTION and the PRESENCE OF WESTERN-SUPPLIED MILITARY EQUIPMENT. The LOCATION, following the reported capture of SUDZHA, suggests a CONTINUATION OF THE RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE in the AREA. The STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE of GONCHAROVKA needs to be ASSESSED.
  4. REPORTED RUSSIAN STRIKES IN ZAPORIZHZHIA REGION (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE, VIDEO EVIDENCE):

    • Дневник Десантника (14:45 UTC): Shows a video of reported artillery strikes in the Zaporizhzhia direction.
  5. AIR RAID ALERTS (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, UKRAINIAN SOURCES):

    • 🇺🇦 Запорізька обласна військова адміністрація 🇺🇦 (14:39 UTC): Announced an air raid alert for Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
    • Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (14:41 UTC): Announced a missile threat for Kherson, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts.
    • Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (14:46 UTC): Announces that the threat has ended.
  6. REPORTED STRIKE IN KHARKIV REGION, RUSSIAN SOURCE, VIDEO EVIDENCE

  • ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS: Reports that border guards of the "Phoenix" unit destroyed a T-72 and an MT-LB in the Kharkiv direction.
  • MoD Russia: Shows a video of a self-propelled "Bogdana" gun destroyed, claiming it was in the Kharkiv direction.
