On the strike on the 179th Training Center of the Signal Troops in Poltava
What is known as of the end of September 3, 2024
In the morning, the Russian Armed Forces launched a missile strike on the 179th Advanced Training Center of the Signal Troops in Poltava.
According to official data, the enemy reported 51 killed and 271 wounded. Ukrainian propaganda emphasizes statements about "civilians" and some "neighboring hospital".
❗️However, judging by the map, there are no hospitals nearby, and the nearest multi-story buildings are dormitories, which are also barracks of the affected "educational institution" that became the deployment point of one of the Territorial Defense brigades back in 2014.
At the same time, we note that given the enemy's tendency to underestimate their own losses, the success of the strike may be much higher. And against the background of reports of the destruction of Swedish instructors, the events in Poltava may take an even more interesting turn, since there are already versions on the Internet about the additional training of Ukrainian specialists on the announced AWACS aircraft ASC 890 to be supplied.

▪️ In Kursk Region, fighting continues on the previous lines in the Sudzha and Korenevo districts, with the enemy attacking in several waves, trying to consolidate immediately with the second echelon. The AFU, replenishing their sensitive losses, constantly transfer small groups of armored vehicles and personnel through the Sudzha checkpoint, not always managing to cover the enemy on the road. Our aviation is working on enemy concentrations in the forest areas, using, among other things, FAB-3000 (https://t.me/dva_majors/51453) with JDAM and ODAB. Strikes by aviation and missile weapons have been intensified in the neighboring Sumy Region. To the north, on the border of the Bryansk Region, there were isolated reports of intensified shelling by the AFU in order to disrupt our logistics.

Summary compiled by: Two Majors
South Donetsk Direction: Battles in Vodyane and Liberation of Prechystivka
Situation as of 3:00 PM on September 4, 2024
In the South Donetsk direction, over the past few weeks, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces have significantly expanded the area of control in the vicinity of the T-05-24 highway and on the approaches to Vuhledar. This became possible immediately after the capture of several major strongholds located along the highway, after which the AFU were forced to retreat in the direction of Vodyane.
▪️Fighting is currently underway in the latter, as well as on the approaches to the industrial zone. In addition, a fire strike was carried out on the observation posts and positions of the AFU on the territory of the Yuzhdonbass No. 3 and No. 1 mines, both from tanks and FPV drones (https://t.me/voin_dv/10617). On the territory of the latter, the Russian Armed Forces previously landed (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6627) a landing force, consolidating their position in the area. Further development of success in this direction, in case of the liberation of Vodyane, will allow to semi-encircle Vuhledar from the right flank, significantly complicating the position of the AFU in the city.
▪️At the same time, Russian troops achieved success west of Vuhledar near Prechystivka. Over the past few days, the Russian Armed Forces have actively carried out missile and bomb strikes (https://t.me/voin_dv/10601) on the enemy's air defense in the area of the village, and also used heavy flamethrower systems "Solntsepek (https://t.me/ChDambiev/31334)".
In early September, it became known that advanced assault detachments had entrenched themselves on the outskirts of the village, advancing north by several kilometers. Today, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced full control over Prechystivka, with enemy resources previously reporting the liberation of the settlement. At the moment, the front line runs along the Kashgalach river.
▪️At the same time, the presence of the AFU is still maintained on the approaches to Novomaiorskoye, located west of Prechystivka. To the east, there is an increase in the intensity of shelling of enemy positions in Vuhledar. Some channels have even managed to announce an attack by the Russian Armed Forces from the direction of Pavlivka towards the city, which for now is no more than rumors.
It is important to understand that frontal attacks from the direction of Pavlivka are meaningless without a simultaneous offensive from the west and east (this has been repeatedly confirmed by unsuccessful assaults on Vuhledar last year). A change in the tactics of storming the fortified area gives hope that one of the most important strongholds of the enemy will be liberated in the near future.
