OPERATIONAL INFORMATION for the evening?night 30?31 March situation on the American?Iraqi front it began to be peaked.There are all signs/criteria of the fact that troops of coalition began new approach.In Kerbely region after three-hour artillery preparation and several night avia of films the troops of coalition entered into the combat contact with the Iraqi parts, attempting to go around the positions of iraktsev from the east.Thus far allies are limited to probing the forward edge of iraktsev, attempting to reveal density and organization of Iraqi defense after almost five days of bombing and artillery impacts/shocks.There are no communications/reports about the wedging into the Iraqi defense in this sector of the front as yet.In also the time, morning photographs and data of wireless interception revealed the motion of the large column of American troops around Razzaza lake.It is not thus far clear that it is the target/purpose of this march/flight/marsh?the output/yield to the town of eras -Ramadi4 or turning maneuver with the output/yield in mezhduozer'e under the city ale -Falludja.Another column (to 100 units of technology) is noted in the district of the city of Al- Hill by direction to the southeast in 30 km from the strategic route/course Baghdad?Basra.Already toward the evening, if it does not meet with resistance, advance units can saddle this important road.Thus far the data about the losses from this region it did not act.Under the N -Nadjefom were renewed the attacks of American subdivisions on the position of iraktsev.American grouping was here intensified, as a minimum, by three battalions of marines from the composition of reserve and now Americans attempt to master this key city.On the reports of American reconnaissance Iraqi garrison here counts to 3 thousand soldiers and officers and to 1500 volunteers and party activists.In arsenal of iraktsev of approximately 30 tanks T -55, T -62, to four batteries of artillery and more than 300 different means PTO city storm subdivisions 1 of division of marines with a quantity to 6 thousand soldiers and officers with the support of 80 tanks and 60 instruments.Furthermore, air support is achieved to 40 helicopters.Americans did not thus far succeed in making room enemy.Today early in the morning in the suburb N -Nadjafa was destroyed American tank.As the minimum its two crew members perished.In N -Nassirii region active skirmishes continue.For American marines does not thus far succeed in enlarging, occupied of seven days ago, bridgehead/beachhead on the left shore Of efrata.The bridge, which connects bridgehead/beachhead with basic forces of coalition, is practically destroyed and is shot through by iraktsami, which hold defense in coast blocks.Therefore to the aid to the garrison of bridgehead/beachhead it is possible to move only small subdivisions with the light small arms and only at night.Only within the last night on the bridgehead/beachhead marines lost 2 people killed and 5 by injured.Position complicates that the fact that the residential sections, in which are defended iraktsy, approach close to the water, which gives great advantage to defended iraktsam, which control river and approaches to it.Now artillery and aviation of allies systematically destroys these blocks, attempting to push aside iraktsev from coast feature.Data of wireless interception make it possible to draw the conclusion that to the engineer-sapper parts of marines (?morsbi?)is posed the problem of directing pontoon crossing/passage higher than N -Nasirii and to move by the left shore Of efrata to three battalions of marines and landing force members of 82 VDD for organizing the impact/shock into the rear to garrison N -Nasirii.The command of allies would be preparedly go around other defended crossings/passages through Yefrat, if not one fact?in the composition of grouping proved to be only two field-engineer - pontoon companies.However, the arrival of new pontoon subdivisions is expected not earlier than the middle of April.In Basry region continues the opposition of British marines and garrison Of basry.Britons by local impacts/shocks do try, how it is possible more densely to?prizhat'sya?to Basre, and to stiffen blockade, but this little thus far by them succeeds.Thus, during the night - the morning Englishmen do attempt to take city?the satellite Of basry al -Xasyb, arranged/located in 7 kilometers to the southeast from Basry and, after leaving to ale- Arabian river, to cut defense from the Iraqi parts in this region, after cutting off from Basry those defending in Fao peninsula detachments.
To the battalion of Englishmen with the support of technology at 8 A.M. they entered into the city from the south, but only the hour they were after stopped by fire/light and they inquired the aid of artillery and aviation.Now combat for the city continue.In them already it perished, at least, 2 British marines, 3 soldiers obtained injury.Burned down one BTR.On the reports of British commanders in combat it is killed the minimum of 50 iraktsev, 10 soldiers it is undertaken into the captivity.In the region of the river port of ez-Zubair, which another week was ago declared undertaken under the complete control by troops of coalition, was shot in the ambush English military launch with crew and group of marines aboard.As the minimum of 4 British soldiers it was killed, 9 people are injured.The sound-recording yesterday numbers of the losses of coalition appear, as a minimum?zapazdyvayushchimi?.57 killed, acknowledged by the command of coalition are the number of losses to the morning on 26 March.On this in the confidential conversation one of the chief/leading physicians, the hospital of that developed in el-kuveyt reported to the correspondent OF VVS.to?U us there is order to recognize the death only of those soldiers, who were delivered into the hospital, they were identified, brought into appropriate order and they were prepared to the sending to the native land.The process of identification, if it is necessary - identification and subsequent required standard embalming occupies a certain time.Sometimes days.But only commander does know, how much we did lose killed today, and you about this do learn the day through three??- this conversation was written down by correspondent to the Dictaphone film, and it was?peregnana?in the editorial staff through the channel of telephone honeycomb communications.According to the data of wireless interception and intra-net information of American hospitals the number of losses of coalition comprises to today's morning not less than 100 people of the soldiers OF THE USA by those killed and not less than 35 killed Britons.Furthermore, that disappeared to bezvesti is acknowledged 22 Americans even 11 Englishmen, the fate still approximately of 400 soldiers now is refined.The number of injured exceeded 480 people.The working with the staff coalitions American experts studied the hit and destroyed tanks MYA2 and the struck armored carriers.They arrived at the conclusion/derivation that iraktsev undoubtedly have contemporary anti-tank means, capable of striking the tanks of all available in coalition in arsenal modifications, but thus far the application of these means it bears?ves'ma the limited nature?.Only three tanks were struck by the controlled weapon, which from the first entry/incidence destroyed target/purpose.Rest were disabled by conventional means.The most common forms of damages/defeats are:the projectiles of anti-tank instruments (of about 40%), the impacts/shocks of manual grenade dischargers (25%), underminings on mines (25%).In this case the high effectiveness of antitank artillery was noted.of high-speed projectiles does not always destroy tank and its crew, but in 90% of cases is rendered inoperable it, forcing crew to leave tank on the field of battle??- it is said in the report.Report itself was disseminated for studying the commanders of the advancing/attacking parts and transmitted in OKNSH OF THE USA.The Russian servicemen of analytical geometry warn the command of Iraqi army against superfluous optimism.It goes without saying, which for the army OF THE USA did not succeed by?blits-krigom?to master Iraq and to destroy its army, it is obvious, that the Americans stuck in Iraq and military campaign clearly slips, but the danger of the underestimation of enemy now appeared before the Iraqi management/manual.As yet there are no reasons whatever to doubt the persistence of Americans, and their resolution to attain the goal presented?the complete military occupation of Iraq.In reality, in spite of obvious errors and errors of the highest military command of coalition, troops, which were wedged in into Iraq, preserve high combat efficiency and readiness to battle.The losses, carried in twelve days of combat, although are extremely unhealthy for the pride and impressive for the public opinion, completely not essential from a military point view.Initiative also tightly is located in the hands of coalition.Under these conditions of statement about the fast victory over the enemy they can lead into error friendly forces and population of Iraq and, as a result, lead to demoralization and weakening of the potential of resistance?
According to the estimations/evaluations of Russian military analysts?kriticheskim?for THE USA with the period of war is the campaign the duration more than 90 days, when in this time by Americans will be lost more than 1000 people killed.Under these conditions the serious political crisis is not avoided both in themselves OF THE USA and in the international association
