[ColonelCassad] What else can be said about the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They are trying to protect the personnel units by putting up barriers of reservists in plantings along the roads, among the inhabitants.
As familiar scouts said, during the assault on the next village, such a barrier missed the "armor", but when the infantry went, they opened fire on it from small arms literally from every window of the inhabitant. The infantry had to roll back, and subsequently the artillery literally burned that square. Those few from the "barrier" who survived, threw down their weapons and tried to leave, having changed into a "citizen". This was later told by the captured scouts themselves. They had no option to retreat from their positions - they would simply be shot by their own.
I remember something similar in Syria on campaigns against ISIS and al-Nusra. Whether it was an advance in the desert or a battle for some inhabitant, after the assault, government forces always expected the appearance of a "jihad-mobile" with a suicide bomber at the wheel. Often such a vehicle was camouflaged in advance, sometimes letting the troops go forward, and sometimes the Arab "kamikaze" tried to swoop into the area of ​​​​an unattached unit.
And, unfortunately, not always the death could meet the exposed ATGM or tank. I lost several of my friends because of such attacks. The terrorists conducted reconnaissance from a drone and corrected the route of the infernal machine, simultaneously filming all this for their propaganda stories. There, in the east, their own "cult of death" was created. Those who prepared especially in "ISIS" (banned in the Russian Federation).
Most of the suicide bombers, according to my observations, I remember with them. especially in "ISIS." Most of the suicide bombers, according to my observations, I remember with them.
In Ukraine, of course, the scale and specifics are different. Here, instead of the "jihad-mobile", artillery inflicts damage on the attackers, and they try to tie them down with "live meat". But the task is absolutely identical in its essence. Yes, and brainwashing as religious fanatics is not necessary. If a bitter hangover sets in after a cocktail of Ukrainian propaganda, the fear of being shot by a "blockade detachment" simply acts.
