The Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps (3AK), based on the infamous 3rd Assault Brigade, revealed part of its subordinate Brigades last week. Their sector is the Izyum axis and, as was previously reported by Ukrainian press, they replaced Tactical Group "Kreminna" in June.

We have found the first insignia for a subunit of the newly formed 68th Motorized Rifle Division. It likely belongs to its 122nd Motorized Rifle Regiment. For this Regiment we also managed to figure out its unique Military Unit Number, namely 50333

THREAD In March Ukrainian forces attacked Belgorod oblast, capturing the villages of Demidovka and Popovka. Apparently, more Ukrainian units than initially believed are involved, including several brigades previously in Kursk oblast and soldiers transferred from support branches.

This is the first part of what i've been focusing on with @geschlittert.bsky.social over the past couple months: a comprehensive overview of the units in the Pokrovsk front down to Battalion level. (in January and February - more recent changes will be discussed in a later post)

THREAD Russian Nuclear Forces are used as assault infantry in the Toretsk direction. In November 2024, trucks belonging to the 🇷🇺 12th Main Directorate crossed the border into Ukraine near 47.845276, 39.762979. At that time we didn't know what their purpose was. Now we do.

BACK WITH THE ORBATS I've long been looking for the structure of the Iraqi Army from the Gulf War period and someone was able to share it with me a couple weeks ago. I've put together this graphic on what an Iraqi Armored Division would have looked like when they invaded Kuwait in 1990. #ORBATboys

Current structure of Ukrainian 9th Army Corps. Included map of the units' rough locations, to show how spread out they are - we'll see if the rumored reorganization of ZSU into Corps will change how they're employed and actually make them cohesive units or not. #ORBATBoys

The strength of these defenses, and the difficulty of attacking this ground, allowed Ukraine to underman these areas to shift forces to other areas. That's over. Now you need to begin sacrificing other areas to defend here. Russia cannot, under any circumstance, be allowed to advance here.

Ok, so, a quick little something to breathe life into this profile. Lately i've been working on locating the areas where Ukrainian units, down to Battalion-level, are operating. Which is obviously not very twittable or anything. So anyway, as filler, here's the current Operational Command East
