2. ENEMY ANALYSIS (Threat assessment)

2.1. Enemy Capabilities, Intentions, and Courses of Action (Confidence: HIGH)

• Capabilities:
  • Ground Offensive: RF maintains the capability for multi-axis ground offensives, with current efforts focused on claiming advances in Krasnoarmeysk-Dmitrov, Dobropillya, and Konstantinovka. Confirmed DRG activity and now active assault in Yampil (with explicit use of civilian disguise and human shields) indicates continued probing and infiltration capabilities, though consolidation remains fluid. Their stated intent to form a pocket for UAF forces in Poltavka, following the claimed liberation of Olhivske and Sosnovka, demonstrates a capability for localized encirclement tactics. The deployment of UGVs ("Kurier", "Fagot", robotic systems in "Zapad-2025" (MoD Russia 18:55:06Z, 20:15:06Z)) indicates ongoing adaptation to battlefield challenges, while the psychological training for assault detachments suggests a focus on maintaining unit cohesion for offensive operations. The receipt of 82-mm 2B24 "Deva" mortars by Rosgvardia points to enhanced support for defensive or internal security roles near the front. Active special forces operations in the Sumy region are projected. Confirmed ground penetration in Yampil and claims in Volchansk and Kupiansk (medical college) indicate continued offensive and infiltration capabilities. The deployment of North Korean 107-mm Type1963 multiple rocket launchers signifies a new source of materiel support and potential increase in RF artillery capabilities. RF also continues to recruit specialized flight units ("Bars-Sarmat"), potentially for light aviation or drone support. Artillery support (Msta-S, RSZO on Zaporizhzhia, TOS-1A on Krasnoarmeysk direction) remains effective. New drone footage of Yampil burning confirms the destructive capability of RF actions in contested urban areas. New claims of fiber-optic drone operations in Dnipropetrovsk and west of Pokrovsk indicate adaptive tactical drone strike capabilities. The visual evidence of a camouflaged MLRS and military vehicles on dirt roads confirms ongoing ground operations and artillery support. The reported use of TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" heavy flamethrower system demonstrates a capability for localized, high-intensity fire support, particularly for clearing fortified positions and disrupting logistics in direct support of ground advances. Marochko's statement reinforces RF's strategic intent for Olhivske as a bridgehead. RF claims of UAF retreat in Kharkiv Oblast and advances in Sumy Oblast indicate ongoing ground pressure. The discovery of a foreign weapons depot in South Donetsk suggests effective RF counter-intelligence or tactical reconnaissance. The 37th Motorized Rifle Brigade's ambush demonstrates continued tactical proficiency in ground engagements. RF Army is actively advancing in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Рыбарь video analysis details RF military movements and territorial control changes in Zaporizhzhia, confirming active ground operations and advances.

Colonelcassad video of Chasiv Yar shows extensive damage, indicating RF has the capability to inflict widespread urban destruction in areas of active operations. Воин DV posts aerial drone footage of an artillery strike impacting a trench area, causing an explosion and destruction, demonstrating RF's ability to target fortified positions. Colonelcassad posts video showing damaged multi-story buildings and damaged vehicles in Avdiivka, claiming it's a rear area and multi-story buildings are being restored. Z комитет + карта СВО posts tactical map for the Velikoburlukskoye direction, indicating RF control and fortification efforts.
