The enemy tanks, which previously were redeployed to the area of Boikovskoe, according to the information of IR group, are recorded east of this settlement on the disguised positions.
– The active reinforcement of field-type positions by the occupiers and the creation of new platoon support points are observed in the Donetsk region (DAP, western and northern outskirts of Spartak). During the last week there was a repeated appearance of construction and engineering equipment (bulldozers and excavators) at the forefront. In addition, groups of enemy sappers are being fixed, updating mine-blasting fences in this area and exposing new ones (usually working under the cover of small arms or firing from the heavy mounted grenade launchers AGS, trying to obstruct the observation by advanced observers from the battle outpost of AFU).
– There are not less than 10 units of various combat armored vehicles (transferred from Russia via Novoazovsk, and partly from the north) were redeployed in the area of the main base for the supply and storage of military equipment and armament of the 1st Army Corps DNR formations, which are operating in the Mariupol direction in Bezimennoye.

Thus, there are cases of additional MT-LB retrofitting with various additional weapons, mainly heavy mounted grenade launchers AGS-17, heavy machine guns, ATGMs and even 82mm automatic mortars of type 2B9 “Vasilok” (a kind of mobile mortar complex of artisan production). The tanks are equipped with additional shields for increasing their passive protection, heavy mounted grenade launchers AGSs are also installed on the infantry fighting vehicles, and sometimes additional frames for a large-caliber machine gun. For these purposes, the command of militants actively searches for workers from idle and “nationalized” enterprises, which capable of carrying out such works.
