Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for April 3, 2023:
* Russian forces continue encirclement of Bakhmut and Avdeevka;
* Western media continues to measure Russia's strategy of attrition by territorial gains;
* Over the past month there has been an uptick in Russian precision airstrikes along the line of contact;
* Reports indicate that one of the munitions used is the GLONASS-guided UPAB-1500B glide bomb with a range of 40-50km;
* The UPAB-1500B is released out of range of most of Ukraine's mobile force protection air defense systems, most of Ukraine's S-300s are either destroyed or deployed far behind the line of contact opening an opportunity for the glide bomb's use;
* Further degradation of Ukraine's air defenses will lead to Russian military aviation becoming a more decisive factor;
