In the Novopavlovsk direction, Russian troops increased the intensity of their attacks, but their tactics remain unchanged. About this stated Deputy Commander of the 148th Division of the Zhytomyr Separate Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ivan with the call sign “Varan” during the telethon.
According to the military, the enemy continues to operate in small infantry groups, supported by artillery and aviation, including the use of drones. Armored vehicles in this direction, according to him, have not been recorded for a long time. The tactics of the enemy remain “traditional”, but the scale of attacks and the number of assault units have increased.
“There are a lot of attempts to advance towards the Dnipropetrovsk region. So far they are not succeeding. It is quite difficult to say what the next actions will be. It is possible that the enemy will try to surround the Novopavlivka region from the north and south. Why? Because if he tries to go head-on to Novopavlivka, he will find himself in a lowland in front of a very sharp set of heights. In addition, the Vovcha River will be on his way.”, – explained “Varan”.
He emphasized that the implementation of such a scenario is possible only if the defense breaks through, but currently the units of the Defense Forces are effectively holding back the offensive.
“To understand the scale of the war that is going on here. Only in the last 3-4 days, and only by stationary means of EW, about 700 FPV drones and other drones have been intercepted. We are not talking now about FPV drones flying on fiber optics and about FPV drones attacking our transport on long distances.” – said the military man.
