"Worked under the robot": experts explained why the Armed Forces came in small groups
The military literally knocks out the enemy every house, capturing small areas that are the strongholds of Russian invaders. "I know that the Western partners had claims. They believed that the breakthrough should be carried out by large operations. As I understand, for our part the other vision. After the first attempt of the big offensive in June, it turned out that large groups did not work. Significant fortifications from the Russian Federation with large armored vehicles are not effective.
Therefore, another tactic was found - to lead in small groups, to bite through mine fields. It was optimized under weapons, which we have, and worked under the robot. As long as there is no aviation. Aviation will appear - there will be another tactic, " - says Focus Military Expert Alexei Hizhak. The tactics of small groups on the front are used not only the Armed Forces, but also the Russian army, notes in the conversation with focus military expert Petro Chernik.
According to him, it is effective in cases where the enemy built a branched line of defense. "Everyone who is engaged in military affairs is constantly studying. We use small groups both we and the enemy because it is effective. When the enemy built very serious branched lines of defense, where many trenches, tunnels, armor - it is impossible to move large units. This is not the second one.
The world, when the huge shaft of people moved, and from machine guns mowed until the infantryman reached the trench of the enemy and threw it with grenades, "Chernik says. In the past, Wagner PEC used small groups in Syria on small operations, but not always successful, Hedgehog notes. They may have acted similarly under Bakhmut. "I do not exclude that they could use such tactics under Bakhmut, but only because Russian aviation could not work there, and operated at the front line.
Our opponent is current battle, "the expert notes. Petro Chernik emphasizes that the success in the use of such tactics is the one who is better equipped at the level of an individual soldier. "We are ahead of the enemy - we have the best bulletproof vests, helmets, more grenades, personal radio stations, and we have the ability to use it all," the expert sums up. The focus previously wrote about how the Armed Forces counter -offensive was moving.
Military analysts are convinced that in the near future the forces of the Defense of Ukraine will release several settlements, and in the Berdyansk direction of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will not help even part of the 41st General Army.
