On the first results of the combat work of the 3rd Army Corps -

Yuri Butusov has published a wonderful article about the results of the formation of the corps based on the Third Assault Brigade! Read carefully, it is a sensation and proves once again that it was necessary to reform everything in 2023 and there would have been fewer losses in people - at least half, and absolutely minimal losses of territories.

Read and donate for super gunpowder for long-range snipers of the 3rd Assault!!!

"On the first results of the combat work of the 3rd Army Corps.

I have been writing about the need to create army corps for three years, and I am monitoring how their creation affects the situation at the front, since the main reason for our losses is not the enemy's skill, but systemic problems in the organization and management of troops.

Therefore, it is important to look at the changes that have occurred in the strip of the 3rd Army Corps, commanded by Colonel Andriy Biletsky, since the corps was one of the first to be deployed and took responsibility for the strip on June 4 in an extremely critical situation.

The strip of the corps, if you look at open sources, is approximately 120 km at the Oskol River. In this direction, our troops are attacked by the 20th and 25th combined arms armies of the Russian Armed Forces, reinforced by separate units of the 1st Tank Army. The 1st Tank and 20th armies are part of the Moscow Military District, and have the best support and replenishment.

From January 1 to June 4, 2025, in the strip of our two infantry brigades, where according to the Deepstate map the enemy managed to achieve the greatest advance, the Russian occupiers captured 198 square kilometers.

From June 4, the entire strip of the corps front, including these two brigades, was transferred to the command of Biletsky. For a month and a half in June-July, the enemy managed to capture 16 square kilometers, but as a result of counterattacks, the 3rd Corps liberated 8 square kilometers. At the moment, the situation remains difficult, several of our positions are surrounded, but all attempts by the three Russian armies to break through the front are being repulsed.

And now the most important thing is our losses. I have detailed information, the statistics on irretrievable losses are as follows - the average monthly losses have decreased compared to the "pre-corps" time by about 2 times. This is relative to the average monthly losses from January 1 to June 4.

And this despite the fact that in June the intensity of hostilities increased.

Maybe the 3rd Corps received significant reinforcements? No, the reinforcements in the brigades are inferior to the losses.

Maybe the 3rd Corps was given money to purchase drones, or mass deliveries began? No, the 3rd Corps is fighting 90% with drones purchased with the funds of patrons and donations of the people.

Maybe they are giving too many shells? No, compared to the Donetsk direction, they are giving less.

So what changed?

1. The 3rd Assault Brigade, which has become the core of the corps, is doing the incredible - it has stretched the front for 60 km (!) This is an absolute record of the war. One brigade and three attached battalions hold 5% of the entire front of active hostilities, and 50% of the front of the entire corps. And at the same time, corps management is deployed on the personnel of the 3rd Assault Brigade and parts of the corps subordination.

2. The corps command changed the tactics of defensive actions in the entire strip. Encounter battles and continuous counterattacks have been stopped. Chaos has disappeared on the front line, units are being brought into battle in an orderly manner. Interaction and organization of reconnaissance and fire damage are being systematically improved.

3. Biletsky has broad powers to promote command personnel under his responsibility, such trust from the higher command allows for the rapid scaling of successful models of organization and management. Therefore, lies in reports on the situation between commanders at all levels in the corps have disappeared, and interaction has improved. All positions that are surrounded are in contact, including with the corps, people are being helped and tried to save.

4. Each brigade began to receive a very small, but planned replenishment of people and ammunition, which previously could not be for months. Now the brigade commanders can at least count on and plan for something. The brigades stopped tearing apart small groups to plug breakthroughs in neighbors.

Conclusions:

1. Andriy Biletsky proved that a competent commander of a combat-ready brigade, if he receives the authority to independently organize work and at least minimal trust and support from the leadership, can significantly improve the results of combat operations on a large strip of the front within 2 months.

2. It suddenly turned out that if the corps command competently organizes defense, controls the front line, creates a system for the operation of UAVs, artillery and reconnaissance of all types, then there is no need to plug holes in the front with masses of troops and grind battalion after battalion in battles for burnt landings. And they simply methodically grind Russian assault groups, with losses 7-10 times less than the enemy.

3. The work of the 3rd Corps is facilitated by the fact that all the brigades in its composition work in one lane. Unfortunately, we have corps that are broken up into separate brigades in different directions, which are assigned to different commands, which does not allow the corps to play a stabilizing role and improve the situation.

4. The reason for the continuation of the Russian offensive is primarily the problems of command and organization of our troops. Deployment and reinforcement of corps, elimination of tactical groups, trust in corps commanders, independent responsibility in personnel decisions on a corps scale, planned monthly reinforcement with people, drones and ammunition, will allow to improve the situation in any direction of the front in a short time, reduce our losses and increase the losses of the enemy."

P.S. I remind you that we are collecting gunpowder for 3rd Corps snipers who shoot at long distances, who are not afraid to actively work with both 375th and 338th caliber rifles now - by the way, we once provided many of them, let's help load them! The cartridges that 3rd Corps makes fly much further than store-bought ones, they are exceptionally accurate!
We got special gunpowder, help pay for it!!!

Friends, let's donate, let's help the best snipers!!!
