⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Balakleya-#Kupyansk-#Izyum: Situation as of 09:00 9 Sep 2022⚡️

The situation in the area did not change fundamentally overnight. The enemy is clearly in no hurry to move forward its strike units, rightly believing that this puts them in a very vulnerable position, and its supply lines are already 20-30 km advanced, and this, moving quickly forward, can turn a victory into a defeat.

Therefore its tank and mechanized units are not moving further to #Shevchenkovo, #Vishnevaya, #Balakleya lines (which apparently our units left this night), and further to the east, the territory, already abandoned by our troops, is plagued by their flying reconnaissance units, which reached Oskol water storage basin this morning.

In the morning, Poddubny, a military correspondent based in #Kupyansk, reported that significant Russian reserves have arrived in the area of fighting (judging by the speed of arrival, transferred from the Belgorod direction).

Apparently, they will reinforce the Shevchenkovo-Kupyansk-Oskolskoye reservoir line. And if possible they will form a strike fist for a counter-offensive.

To the south, Allied units are building a line of defence with support at Savintsy, Vyshnevaya, Podvysokoye, to provide supply lines for the #Izyum grouping.

In order to prevent us from accumulating sufficient forces here for a counterattack, the enemy is actively "probing" our defenses at the bridgehead south of Izyum and conducting demonstrations towards #Liman, sending in DRGs, whose task is also to cut off the remaining supply lines of the Izyum grouping.

At the same time, Russian air and artillery strikes are now the main deterrent to the enemy.

To sum up, the situation here continues to be difficult, but despite the enemy's strong encroachment it is manageable.

⚡️🇷🇺🇩🇪🇺🇦 On the Use of German AT2 Mines by Ukrainian Formations⚡️

In the #Liman area west of #Kremennaya, Russian sappers discovered AT2 anti-tank mines, probably remotely mounted from a MARS II multiple rocket launcher system.

The modification of the ammunition looks rather curious: judging by the photo, it is DM1443, the information about the characteristics of which is practically not available in open sources. It is highly likely that the find is the latest development of the German military.

The shipment of these mines can be associated either with the depletion of AT2 stocks in #Germany, or with the desire to test new products in combat conditions used in unified MLRS MFOM shells.

At least 28 AT2 mines can be placed in the warhead of such a missile, while the main body is occupied by a shaped charge of 907 g of explosive with a penetration of about 140 mm of armor.

A characteristic feature of these mines is the presence of a flexible metal antenna raised 70 cm off the ground. It acts as a sensor and is triggered when the antenna is moved to a certain angle.

🔻 Previously, the media only reported on the production of AT2 mines in variants DM1233/1274/1399. The difference between them is in the simultaneous number of AT2s deployed, the dispersion area and the range. The use of the DM1399 variant by the AFU is also reliably known. Last week, Ukrainian formations bombarded residential areas of #Donetsk with them.

Formally, the mines are anti-tank, but because of the sensitivity of the sensors they can also be triggered by humans. This effectively equates them with anti-personnel mines, which is banned by the #Ottawa Convention, which #Germany legally abides by.

Expecting an immediate end to the use of banned weapons against civilians in #Donbass is pointless. The bias of international organisations is no secret to anyone, and they have little real power.

This, in fact, is confirmed by the active production of anti-personnel mines by the German military industry.
