Here, as the situation in the northern part of the Kursk salient became increasingly dangerous, the Ukrainians launched several operations to ensure their controlled withdrawal. By targeting Russian defensive and offensive capabilities, and command posts and conducting daring raids against the advancing enemy, Ukrainian troops ruined the Russian plans of penetrating the line. The Ukrainian withdrawal was a calculated response to deteriorating battlefield conditions. Russian forces had advanced to key positions, gaining fire control over Ukrainian supply routes and any further delay would have risked encirclement. Worsening the situation, the suspension of U.S. intelligence sharing left Ukrainian forces without real-time insight into Russian troop movements. Previously, live intelligence feeds had enabled Ukrainian commanders to preempt enemy advances, but now they had to rely solely on their own reconnaissance.

Withdrawing under fire is one of the most complex operations in warfare, requiring precise coordination, disciplined execution, and a strong rear guard to hold off the enemy while the main force disengages. The Ukrainian commanders knew that if Russians launched a well-coordinated push during the withdrawal, they could potentially exploit a weak point and overrun a large part of the Ukrainian contingent in Kursk.

To prevent this, the Ukrainians created a plan with several key steps: strikes on Russian command posts to saw chaos, against Russian artillery to reduce fire support, and a series of disruptive hit-and-run raids supplemented by drone operations to delay the Russian advance and allowing for a controlled withdrawal. 

Ukrainian destroyed a Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system to clear the skies & attack Russian command posts, aimed to sabotage command structure & prevent a coordinated assault. Geolocated footage shows use of air strike against military facility near Yelyzavetivka has disrupted Russian coordination, with Russians losing. This op was possible due to heroic cover by Ukrainian rear guard provided.

Overall, despite operating under challenging conditions, including loss of U.S. intelligence sharing, Ukrainian forces successfully withdrew from northern part of Kursk salient. By effectively disrupting Russian command structures, targeting artillery, & employing several delaying operations, they ensured their retreat was a carefully managed maneuver. Now positioned in more defensible locations, Ukrainian forces are better prepared for the next phase of the battle, once again demonstrated their ability to adapt against outmaneuver numerically superior enemy.
