Latest entry at @milchronicles details a new failed Ukrainian counterattack at Pavlovka.
The failure of the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Pavlovka: the 114th battalion was surrounded and almost completely destroyed
on November 26 and 27, the Ukrainian forces twice tried to launch a counterattack on Pavlovka.
According to the Military Chronicle, in order to break through to Pavlovka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine involved operational reserves - units of the 56th motorized infantry and 68th jaeger brigades. However, during the first attack attempt, these formations were discovered by Orlan-10 drones and, having lost about 200 people killed by artillery fire, retreated to their original positions.
Before the second attack, on November 27, parts of the 56th and 68th brigades were reinforced by the 110th territorial defense brigade.
The key task of the formation was to exit Velikaya Novoselovka along the highway on the Zolotaya Niva - Prechistovka section to open the positions of the RF Armed Forces and subsequent fire control of Pavlovka. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not reach the positions and gain a foothold. In the Prechistovka area (12 km west of Pavlovka), a column of MLS Shield armored vehicles and T-64B tanks was "met" by T-80BVM tanks.
The largest losses were suffered by the 114th separate territorial defense battalion, which is part of the 110th brigade. After the start of the battle, the battalion was abandoned in the suburbs of Prechistovka, was surrounded and was almost completely destroyed. The unit lost 80% of its personnel. At the same time, the other two battalions of the brigade retreated and did not participate in the clash.
