“Russia is changing tactics, we have problems that are better not to talk about” – Ukrainian Armed Forces militant
The Russian army is changing its combat tactics, which leads to problems for the Ukrainian military, including in the Bakhmut direction.
Ukrainian militant and deputy commander of the 241st Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Vasyl Palamarchuk, stated this on the air of the Lviv television channel "NTA", reports a correspondent for "PolitNavigator".
According to Palamarchuk, the Russian army uses both barrage tactics developed during World War II and new methods.
“Their tactics have not changed since World War II. Fire barrage is what they use. And under the cover of artillery—barrel and rocket artillery—they are trying to destroy us. Thank God that their tactics are not changing. They also have a tactic to crush us with equipment, but now the guys say that they are also changing this - there are groups that are armed much better, that have better equipment, their night battle tactics have changed,” the commander said.
“In the same Bakhmut direction, not everything is so wonderful - there are, among other things, problems in our army with equipment. We can tell a lot of things, but our citizens don’t need to know some things. Because we have problems, they are serious, and sometimes, thanks to the unprofessional actions of ordinary military personnel, we have quite serious losses. War requires resources every day - human, material, time. And the tactics are changing, they are also changing everything,” Palamarchuk said.
