Russian Air Force just experienced lost – its second-worst week of the entire war. If high-end damaged and destroyed aircraft estimates are proved accurate, it will been the worst so far. Until the week starting Oct. 14, 2023, the most punishing seven days suffered by the Putin Russian Federation’s air force, by all accounts, came at the outset of the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

It wasn't only bad news. This is one of the too many bad news Putin received this week.

Intelligence review says the Russians had deployed units of up to eight brigades near Avdiivka. "These elements have likely suffered some of Russia’s highest casualty rates of 2023" the analysts write.

UK intelligence says that the Russian military bloggers have harshly criticised the command’s tactics. "The nature of the operation suggests that Russia’s core military-political challenge remains the same as it has throughout most of the war. 

As Political leaders demand more territory to be seized but the military cannot generate effective operational level offensive action," UK Defence Intelligence states.

The White House has said it had info the Russian military has been executing soldiers who have refused to follow orders. Russian commanders are threatening to execute entire units if they seek to retreat from Ukrainian artillery fire.

The Estonian Defence Forces believe that Russian govt is seeking to gain at least a minimal initiative at least in Ukraine to create an impression of success in the war among fellow Russians on AVDIIVKA.
