For your info:
When it is spelt as Adveekva the posts tend to be Russian, Ukraine uses Adviikva.

The picture isn't at all clear. How many of this missile type have been fired and when/where ? Ukraine didn't get Patriots, NASAMS and IRIS-T until fairly late and the initial small numbers protected Kiev and ( possibly ) Odessa only. UKA AA systems have downed numerous of the "unstoppable " Kinzhal ( Mach 10 ) missile during the last 6-8 months.
Let alone, how to install a Patriot-sized weapon system on a carrier, that thingy does require a 1, max 2 seconds reaction time, between (potential detection) and the missile "to be destroyed". Not to speak about the debris with warhead just following its original course.
Looks like the end of Adviikva is near, thanks to the excellent and timely support from western democracies!
Could anyone here shed some light on the size/yield of the weapon that did this?
Edit, to be clear, I mean the crater in the woods, not the S300 attack.

Yeah, the details have to evolve, though the (Western ??) expert impression isn't that rosy.

One problem is that they become emblamatic, sacred ground for which so many have sacrificed their lives, whereas a Gallipoli, an Arnhem or a Dunkirk withdrawal only leaves a small chunk of battered landscape to the "winners".
Much easier to judge in an armchair with a glass of house red, but I would "fold my tents in the night" and admit a setback.

BREAKING:
The Ukrainian Army announces its complete withdrawal from Avdiivka to avoid encirclement
Footage of Ukrainian forces from the 3rd Assault Brigade, newly deployed to Avdiivka to secure the Ukrainian retreat from the city.
This is a critical moment. Given Russia's manpower and resource advantages, Ukrainian units being encircled or taking heavy losses in a withdrawal could have a significant effect on the war. The relative resources expended in this battle will likely be the most important factor.

Yes, but a choice they may not have had to make had they received sufficient ammo supplies from their "friends"!

I find it frustrating and sad our indecision is costing Ukrainian lives. It must impact their morale but then I wonder if that is NATO's game plan all along. Let this conflict drag out into a stalemate where Russia wins. Kicking the can down the road.
