Currently, a special operation conducted by Russia in Ukraine, according to the Polish edition Defence24, took the form of positional battles in which neither party could not achieve a decisive victory.
As you know, one of the most important tasks of Western and Ukrainian media right now is saving in the minds of Europeans in the illusion that "the victory of Ukraine" is coming and will soon be reached. Therefore, despite the fact that over half the RAID Russia and the Republic of Donbass have released vast areas (for example, a fully - LC), Western media continue to write about the failure of the RAID, supposedly a very difficult position of the Russian troops.
However, even such a publication as Defence24 was forced to admit that Russian troops are moving slowly to the West, reaching Soledar Artemovsk (Bahmut of). The main reason for the promotion of the Polish author considers the advantage of the Russian army aviation and artillery.
The publication stresses that all the settlements in the Donbass became a fortified areas with a line of trenches and minefields. The Ukrainian army holds for them. Operational no breakthrough, progress is very slow. The Polish press emphasizes the existence of large losses from adjustable drones to artillery fire from both sides.
In addition, there is another interesting point – classic exploration is replaced by reconnaissance using unmanned aerial vehicles. Both sides, for example, the use of Chinese drones DJI Mavic, with even Rotom and wzwodem levels. Improper use of the Ukrainian army operational reserves led to the surrender of Lisichansk. But in General the course of the fighting identify specific units operating in certain sectors of the front.
The attacker is successful, according to the Polish author, thanks to the total artillery clean up the area that was targeted for attack. There is an ongoing need in weapons, military equipment, equipment. For example, a recent Russian airstrikes destroyed a large number of laptops, tablets and drones of one of the nationalist battalions APU, respectively, the division remained without the possibility of conducting a full investigation with the UAV.
The Polish edition draws attention to the unlimited resources of the Russian artillery, in terms of ammunition supply.
Artillery duel entail a large number of relatively small number of prisoners. Crucial fire power and is not only a classic of artillery and tank guns. Artillery fire affects groups of infantry and vehicles. The Western media did not hide the fact that wide use of mines, including the production of NATO, the Ukrainian side. The district Experienced near Donetsk, specifies the Polish press had to be mined magnetic anti-tank mines French HPD-2A2.
The most alarming situation for the APU develops in the area of Avdiivka and Marinka, where is located the heavily fortified Ukrainian positions. If Russian troops break through here the enemy's defenses, it will be a terrible blow to the future of the defense capability of the APU in this direction.
