Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Korrespondent] Russian troops continue to test new tactics: from using several tanks and infantry fighting vehicles with a minimum number of infantry to massive shelling with artillery and drones. Russian troops have stepped up their offensive in eastern Ukraine, particularly in the Kramatorsk and Seversk directions, using armored vehicles, aircraft, drones, and even robotic systems to deliver ammunition. This was stated by Dmitry Zaporozhets, a representative of the 11th Army Corps, Army Inform reported on Sunday, August 24. ![]() In particular, in the Kramatorsk direction, Russian troops are trying to use robotic systems to deliver ammunition and provisions. Some of them have already been destroyed by the defense forces. At the same time, the situation in Konstantinovka is deteriorating daily: the Russians have resumed the active use of tactical aviation. In particular, recent strikes on the city and neighboring communities have led to large-scale destruction of civilian facilities. "37 guided air bombs were used against our operational zone and 14 air sorties were carried out. The enemy simply destroyed everything that, in his opinion, could have signs of military targets. In fact, in 90% of cases, civilians suffered, cars that were simply driving by, or people trying to evacuate," Zaporozhets said. In the Seversky direction, according to him, the enemy is increasing shelling, bringing the number of attacks to 180 per day. "The enemy is trying to build a classic envelopment scheme in order to bypass Seversk from the north and reach Slavyansk," the representative explained. He also noted that the Russians continue to test new tactics: from using several tanks and infantry fighting vehicles with a minimum number of infantry to massive shelling with artillery and drones. "The occupiers hoped that on Independence Day we would weaken our defense, but there can be no rest, because on this day we are also defending the country," added Zaporozhets. Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced some successes in the Pokrovsk direction. |
