Russia changes tactics of conducting hostilities near Bakhmut - Ukrainian officer
Russian troops have changed the tactics of conducting military operations near Bakhmut, Volodymyr Nazarenko, an
artillery officer of the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade "Rubizh", said on
the national television on April 24.
He said that “Human wave assaults” by mercenaries could be
witnessed last year.
"The enemy did not care about them, they were simply
sent for disposal. Now we can see various tactics combination, trying to
advance with a wide front."
Concerning Bakhmut or Eastern front –we have to take into
account that it is tens to hundred kilometers territory where the enemy
is trying to advance in one way or another, Nazarenko
said.
The Russians now tend to use a large number of armored
vehicles, UAVs and high-precision projectiles, which was not the case here a
year ago, he emphasized. They also continue to use the tactics of small advance
groups, several people each — a cover group, an assault group, ‘mopping group’,
and evacuation one.
"They use light armored vehicles, landing force, with
tanks. The enemy continues to use fire barrage tactics."
Invaders are destroying cities and villages with artillery,
guided aerial bombs have also been added, Nazarenko said.
"The enemy is improving his tactic,” he noted.
“We must obtain dominance in technologies in this
situation."
