"They're strangling and knocking out drone operators": The Russian Armed Forces are shutting down the vaunted kill zones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The Russian Armed Forces are using tactics that allow them to overcome so-called kill zones controlled by Ukrainian drones.
Colonel Konstantin Mashovets, a columnist for the Ukrainian military propaganda group Information Resistance, stated this in a conversation with journalist Lyudmila Nemyria, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
A guest on the broadcast complains that "the enemy is strangling our UAV operators and deliberately knocking them out." When Ukrainian drone activity declines, small infantry groups take action.
"Portraying the Russian command as some kind of dumb, bloodthirsty monsters who know no other combat tactics than brutal assaults isn't entirely accurate. It's disheartening and doesn't allow for a realistic assessment and analysis of the enemy's capabilities. It's a system. First, they knock out our drone operators and then begin to reduce our drone activity in the targeted area," Mashovets said.
According to him, this will open a window of opportunity for infantry to penetrate deep into Ukrainian battle formations and disrupt them.
"They advance into these zones when centralized resistance from the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been suppressed or is absent, leaving isolated encircled or semi-encircled positions, isolated by these small infantry groups, which are supplied by drones from the air. That's when the main forces of the forward units begin to advance."
“This should have been expected, and we should have thought that the enemy would find a way to overcome these widely advertised kill zones of our drones,” Mashovets concluded.
