The equipment rides somewhere at the maximum distance for our artillery and beyond the borders of our minefields, and the enemy “legs, legs” after a long artillery preparation tries to bite off a piece.
Apparently, up there they thought about the question: will they give them the required number of tanks and armored vehicles again, if they are so generously spent? It seems that now the enemy is brainstorming: how to direct the resource in such a way that it would have the maximum effect, even if there is little left of the resource?”
