[ColonelCassad] Statistics of shelling of Donetsk by the Ukrainian army in December.
Analysis based on data from the DPR JCCC as of December 25, 2022 inclusive.
The most shelled cities of the DPR in December:
- Donetsk - 442 times
- Gorlovka - 126 times
- Makiivka - 74 times
- Yasinovataya - 72 times
On average, Donetsk alone receives about 18 strikes per day. In December, 2120 shells arrived in Donetsk. This is an average of 85 shells per day.
Most often, Donetsk is shelled from Krasnogorovka, Netaylovo, Orlovka and Thin.
- Krasnogorovka - 158 times
- Netaylovo - 151 times
- Orlovka - 79 times
- Tonenkoye - 35 times
Most of the attacks on Donetsk by the Armed Forces of Ukraine are carried out from the American howitzer of 155mm M777 caliber - only 1,413 shells, which is 67% of the total number of attacks in December. Shelling from the 122mm BM-21 "Grad" is 21% of arrivals. 8% falls on the rest of the MLRS. And only 4% are Soviet shells of 152 caliber.
This once again confirms the great shortage of shells in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which has to be compensated by the supply of NATO shells. But they are also very limited, but they benefit from accuracy.
According to the dynamics of shelling, it can be assumed that the supply of ammo for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is carried out on average once every six days.
The RF Armed Forces are fighting for Pervomaiskoye, Vodyanoye, and Marinka to expand the zone of control around Donetsk, to exclude the shelling of the city from the MLRS and to reduce the intensity and accuracy of strikes from M777 howitzers.
The displacement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Vodyanoye made it possible to establish air control over enemy positions in Tonenkoe. Now the number of shellings of Donetsk from the territory of the village has sharply decreased.
The advance from Vodyanoye to the north and the occupation of Tonenkoe will ensure not only the operational encirclement of Avdievka, but also the cessation of shelling of MLRS from Orlovka.
