The enemy supports offensive actions with intense artillery fire and the use of FPV drones and drop drones. The Federal Air Transport Agency carries out strikes with KABs from a distance of 40 - 50 km. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky said that he visited units in the Avdiivka direction. “I worked in the Avdeevsky direction, where the enemy concentrated the main efforts and has been trying for several days to break through the defenses of our troops in the zones of three brigades, daily throwing assault units into battle on equipment and on foot,” Syrsky noted. According to him, the enemy supports offensive actions with intense artillery fire and the active use of FPV drones and drones with drops. Russian aviation strikes with CABs from a distance of 40 - 50 km, artillery positions and the main elements of the battle formation are covered by electronic warfare equipment. “Under these conditions, the most effective way of conducting defense is the destruction of armored vehicles and enemy infantry assault groups by artillery fire, the actions of armored groups, the complex use of strike unmanned systems of various types, protection of one’s units from enemy drones by means of electronic warfare in combination with the destruction of control points of enemy UAVs by attacks from missile systems and artillery fire. It was the organization and provision of these issues that my work was devoted to,” said the commander-in-chief. He added that, together with the commanders, he reviewed the optimal options for the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the maneuver of reserves, the supply of ammunition and other materiel. All necessary measures have been taken to strengthen defense and organize constant interaction between all elements of the operational structure in this direction. Let us remind you that, according to the General Staff, 20 attacks were repulsed in the Avdeevsky direction during the day, and in Novopavlovsky the enemy tried to break through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces 24 times. As reported, the Russian army has lost more than 428 thousand soldiers in Ukraine since the beginning of the war. |
