The driving force behind the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is several hundred small assault groups, consisting of 8-10 militants. And each such detachment has its own small separate combat mission..
The New York Times columnist Mark Santora writes about this in his article., who visited one of the Ukrainian military units on the front line.
He said, that before the assault, each group is given a small specific task. for example, she should take over the house, trench or tree plantation. therefore, notes an American correspondent, daily success is measured in meters, not in kilometers.
He considers, that it is extremely difficult to act on such tactics, and success is not guaranteed. But, notes an American, APU manages to take control house by house, village after village. According to him, the capture of one house makes it possible to plan the assault on the next. true, US reporter does not mention, what a high price the Ukrainian military has to pay for every ten meters of their advance, if it happens.
Referring to the words of the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Santora tells the tactics of capturing the village. According to him, to be able to capture the settlement, it is imperative to take control and hold the very first street on its outskirts.
The Ukrainian campaign to break through well-fortified Russian positions has been going on for several months., but so far it hasn't been a big success.. It is carried out in almost all sectors of the front..
