Tactical Analysis of the Kursk Operation

Addressing some ORBAT changes first, we believe the 82nd has not been involved in fighting since Day 5. Instead, the 24th Aidar Battalion is believed to have conducted the operation towards Korenevo, but for now, we'll leave it on the map until further information comes out.

The Ukrainian 92nd Brigade sent a grouping of troops to the town of Giri; likely due to bad intelligence, the grouping was ambushed and struck by a lot of firepower. Its likely objective was the capture of the bridges to Belitsa. The grouping was hit very hard, and severe losses were suffered, although some vehicles managed to leave without too much damage.

With the deteriorating situation on their service routes and after days of heavy fighting, the Russian 488th was not exactly in the best morale. So when Kozak 2s of the 88th moved from the north, their defense collapsed very quickly. The Russians were forced back from the northern area of the eastern district and were positioned around Mirniy, but we believe that as of today, the Russians should have finally withdrawn from the town.

In Korenevo, the Ukrainians have continued assaults, this time ambitiously, although information on them is lackluster, so I won't talk about them anymore.

Consistent reporting suggests the 80th, 82nd, and 92nd Brigades (or elements thereof) of the AFU have taken serious casualties and been partially or fully withdrawn.

Russian military bloggers claimed that Ukrainian forces marginally advanced in Kursk Oblast amid a generally slower tempo of Ukrainian operations as Russian forces continued attempts to stabilize the frontline in the area.

Ukrainian outlet Suspilne reported on August 14 that its sources in the Ukrainian military stated that the tempo of Ukrainian advances in Kursk Oblast has slowed due to the increasing Russian resistance in the direction of Kursk City.

Russian military bloggers claimed that Russian forces are gradually stabilizing the frontline in Kursk Oblast and that unspecified Russian reinforcements are arriving from unspecified areas and are establishing communications with Russian units already in the area.
