We made several advances, but unfortunately the enemy was firmly entrenched, + we had to immediately retreat with tanks, since the artillery immediately began to work on us.
There is still no connection, they put it down firmly. I don’t know how, but neither we nor the Storm Z units that are standing next to us have received communication. This is where the problem arises about timely reporting of enemy targets.

In shooting combat, the enemy is much inferior to our fighters, unfortunately, there are also losses on our side. All because of the activity of the enemy’s artillery and because of the abundance of ammunition and various types of artillery in the world, the enemy is conducting offensive operations under dense artillery cover.

Explosions of cluster munitions and MLRS do not stop; shell after shell is flying across forward positions and front-line rear areas. Enemy tanks also often come out and direct fire at our positions.
