On the Lyman axis, the enemy continues using the tactic of assaults by small groups. The Russians also actively use strike drones such as Lancet, Molniya, Kub, and others.
This was reported on Army TV by Maksym Bilousov, head of the communications department of the 60th Separate Mechanized Inhulets Brigade.
According to him, there are large numbers of various drones. They “observe” both the battlefield and logistics routes. The enemy aims to cut Ukrainian logistics as much as possible. As for infantry attacks, they have their own specific features — for example, “bait assaults”.
“Poorly trained enemy infantry may go in without a flak jacket, without plates, sometimes even without rifles. Their task is to expose the observation post. Behind them may follow a well-trained infantryman who will continue storming that OP, or a drone will strike next”, — Bilousov explained.
Enemy infantry thrown into such senseless assaults often cannot endure it — they shorten their own lives. They cannot return, because their own forces will shoot them. They are also afraid to surrender.
“There is a complex approach there — still the Soviet school of political officers. First, intimidation: ‘If you’re captured, Ukrainians will torture you.’ In reality, they are describing themselves, because they torture. Second, their commanders tell them that they have a mission they must complete no matter what. They understand that one way or another they will be ‘zeroed out’ if they return”, — Bilousov noted.
