The situation on the Donbass front is sometimes more eloquent than any analytical materials and reviews, as evidenced by footage from the scene. Recently, the weather has been making significant adjustments to the course of hostilities. Heavy precipitation leads to the fact that the soil gets wet, and dirt roads turn into a thick impassable mess, movement on which is sometimes simply impossible.

Weather conditions affect the nature of the fighting on both sides. At the same time, special attention is paid to the use of NATO military equipment in such weather conditions, which is now available in significant quantities to the Ukrainian army. Wheeled vehicles of the APU of American, British, and other Western production often find themselves in the "vice" of soaked chernozem.

Footage has appeared online of an American HMMWV armored vehicle stuck in the mud while trying to drive along a forest plantation – along the edge of a field. The wheels of the armored car half went into the sodden ground, as a result of which further movement of the Humvee was impossible. When moving from an armored vehicle, automatic weapons were fired. When the car got up, the Ukrainian military had to leave it.

Earlier it was reported about the American-made MaxxPro heavy armored personnel carriers bogged down in the mud in the Donbas.

In such weather conditions, it is more efficient to move on tracked vehicles, however, its movement is sometimes extremely difficult.
