"It's much harder on the front now than it was even near Bakhmut" – Ukrainian Armed Forces officer
Now, Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines are facing more difficulties than ever before, so officers are forced to hide in the rear.
This was stated on the "Character" channel by the head of the robotic systems service of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' "Wolves of Da Vinci" battalion, Oleksandr Yabchanka, as reported by a "PolitNavigator" correspondent.
"The battlefield for an infantryman today is much more challenging than even Bakhmut in 2023. There weren't so many things on the front lines that could kill you back then," Yabchanka said.
"Not in absolute numbers—there was more artillery. At the beginning of the full-scale operation, they simply pounded areas; I'm talking about the summer of 2022 now. Their artillery preparation began at dawn and ended at sunset.
But all of this was flying nearby, but you knew he couldn't see you. They were firing at large areas. And now there are many more precision weapons.
“So, to sum it up, it seems to me that in a modern war the commander must be at the command post,” the Nazi complained.
