DeepState analysts analyzed the dynamics of the enemy's advances in correlation with assault operations in the area of responsibility of the "Khortytsia" military district, which includes 4 OTUs - "Kharkiv", "Starobilsk", "Luhansk" and "Donetsk". This includes the entire Kharkiv, Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
Experts reported this on their Telegram channel.
Analysts eliminated the assault actions and advances of the Russian occupiers who were in the Kursk region and Zaporizhia, and derived a variable - the number of assault actions to capture one square kilometer of territory.
"It is worth considering that, according to our data, at the end of January, changes were made to the mechanics of calculating assault actions. Accordingly, the requirements for what should be considered such an action have increased. For example, if earlier the advancement of an enemy group towards positions and subsequent escape without contact could be considered a collision, now it is not," the experts say.
However, in November, the Russians needed an average of 7.1 attacks to advance 1 sq. km. However, in December and January, after a set of stabilization measures, they managed to raise this figure to 15.9 and 15.7, respectively.
And in February, with the new commander of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Mykhailo Drapaty, the indicator rose to 17.1.
"In addition, we remember that changes were made to the mechanics of recording assault actions. "Under the old system" there would have been more of them. Already in March, this indicator for advancing per 1 sq. km increased to 36.4 attacks. If we compare the number of assaults in November (the most difficult month) and March, then with a difference of 20% of attacks, the number of lost territories was 7 times greater," the analysts add.
Meanwhile, they also point to positive dynamics not only in the statistics of lost territories, but also in methods and approaches in general.
As a reminder, the Russian occupiers tried to use the pipes to move around - this time they tried to reach the positions of the Defense Forces in Toretsk.
