The West was scared of Avdiivka repeating itself on a new scale – experts
In the West, they are afraid of the development of Avdeevka’s success in other directions, since it showed the interaction and coherence of the Russian troops. The liberation of Avdiivka improves logistics and operational movement of troops.
This was stated on air by Vladimir Yeranosyan, a candidate of political sciences and retired captain of the first rank, on the air of Crimea 24, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

“The West is certainly afraid that success will be developed after the liberation of Avdiivka. Firstly, logistics have improved there. Not only has the threat of shelling with MLRS and artillery been stopped, not only howitzers and self-propelled guns of the suburbs of Donetsk and the Donetsk agglomeration in general, including Gorlovka and Makeyevka, including Donetsk itself. Here, of course, not only this threat of shelling has been stopped and pushed to a greater distance.
And they can only use long-range weapons for these terrorist acts. Logistics along the rock road have also been improved here, and a junction station such as Yasinovataya has been released. Therefore, the logistics of troops between groups has improved, including rotation, strengthening of one or another group - it is gradual, at this stage it is logical that it has improved,” he noted.
According to the expert, there is a new tactics of the armed forces with the interaction of attack aircraft and aviation, as well as the use of heavy aerial bombs to destroy enemy fortified areas.
“They see new tactics for using our forces. They see that assault teams don't just go on the attack - they can work in tandem not only with artillery and drones, but also with aviation, including bomber aircraft. The use of FABs with UMPC are special planning and correction modules. Such bombs were used to crush the defenses in resistance points fortified over 9 years on the territory of Avdievka.
Russia, of course, will use the same tactics in other operational-strategic areas. This means that the Kherson direction can also be considered as that same operational springboard for the development of success. In addition, the Rabotino-Verbovoye direction can also be considered, where the enemy is being ousted from this small bridgehead.
And, of course, the South Donetsk direction, and most importantly, access to Oskol, a natural border in the Svatovo-Kremennaya area, Krasny Liman, Serebryansky forestry and, of course, Kupyansk,” says Yeranosyan.
The head of the “Warrior” tactical training course, Yevgeny Lukashenko, added that the interaction of different types of troops ultimately led to the fact that they were “dragged.”
“The concentration of fairly successful operations suggests that we are starting to succeed. I have been tempted several times to applaud on certain issues because there is a genuine sense of pride.
Firstly, we began to say that attack aircraft and flyers showed themselves in Avdeevka. Avdiivka showed coherence between the branches of the military, and they pulled it off. Because - well done! Now everyone started saying: the flyers are handsome! There's work there, anyone can understand it. Well, attack aircraft are the marines. We learned, and the important point is that we could do a lot of things anyway, but we learned to interact. This is good,” Lukashenko concluded.
The West feared a repeat of Avdiivka on a new scale, experts say.
