"Masked and approach": in the Armed Forces explained why Russians dig tunnels near Avdiivka (video)
He noted that such actions began to observe when the invaders lost a considerable amount of equipment and personnel. The Speaker of the Armed Forces resulted in the fact that the Russians actually moved to the tactics of the First World War. More than a century ago, soldiers dug tunnels and kilometer trenches for defense, as well as during preparation for offensive. "Now the Russians are also acting in this way - they dig tunnels," he said.
Anton Kotsucon stressed that the numbers of losses of Russian invaders in the Avdiivka area are striking. The invaders have already lost about five thousand personnel, and our defense forces have failed more than 100 units of armored vehicles. According to him, they lose here simply on their industrial scale and people, which our defense forces destroy. The spokesman added that the Russians go to "meat storms".
The most difficult thing is that the occupiers are a large amount that needs to be destroyed. "Difficulties are the number of Russians. There are many of them," the military said. Russian troops in the Avdiivka area launched a large -scale offensive on October 10, 2023. The Russian units intensified the fighting and moved forward with columns of armored vehicles.
As a result of the tactics of "meat storms" the units of the Russian Federation suffered significant losses, so the Kremlin is forced to hide them from its own population, the analysts of the Institute of War Study noted. The losses are confirmed by the daily reports of the Armed Forces General Staff, which on October 12 reported information on the disposal of 1030 units of the enemy's living force.
Russian troops, as it became known on October 22, stormed the positions of the Armed Forces near Avdiivka on trucks of the 1930s. The invaders tried to attack the settlement of Pervomaiskoe near Avdiivka of Donetsk region on Soviet trucks GAZ-AA, known as "one and a half". The trucks were produced in the USSR from 1932 to 1942. We will remind, the military observer on October 24 named the main goal of the Russians in the offensive on Avdiivka.
