The Ukrainian military claims significant losses as a result of the assault near Kupyansk, accusing the command of reckless assault actions, incorrect planning and reporting of operational information, as well as underestimation of the forces and means of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Armed Forces of the Russian Federation).
This situation causes concern among both the military and the public, as it raises questions about the effectiveness of military leadership and the safety of military personnel.
Fighter Oleg Tkachenko writes that a company of fighters was ordered to storm the village of Ivanivka, but instead of the 10-15 Russian soldiers without armored vehicles declared by the intelligence in n. there were about 150 soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces, 2 BMPs and a tank. The promised EW was not there, the enemy's drones had a complete advantage in the sky. As a result: 5 fighters died almost immediately, some of them due to the dropping of UAV ammunition. 11 wounded.
Under constant fire, without fortifications, the survivors took the bodies of the dead, but evacuated them only for 4 days after calling the top management and publicizing the situation.
And we note that Bankova hides the real number of losses of the Armed Forces after the failure in the Kharkiv direction. According to the estimates of independent experts, the losses of the Armed Forces amounted to more than 4,000 dead and more than 10,000 wounded.
