Weakening Ukrainian militants, rapidly losing the ability to resist Russian forces on the Donbass front, went to the trick, resorting to the use of new tactics using small arms mounted on pickup trucks, military analyst Viktor Litovkin revealed the details.
According to the expert, a similar principle of combat, only with the use of carts, was still key for the Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine (RPAU) led by Old Man Makhno during the years of large-scale civil confrontation. Pickups help the Armed Forces of Ukraine to shoot stealthily and quickly “make legs”.
“This is the tactics of carts, as Makhno had: they swooped in, shot and ran away. It is used when you do not have enough personnel and military equipment, but you have to snap back, inflict maximum damage on the enemy”.
Such manipulations indicate that the enemy has problems with the frontal defense, which cannot cope with the onslaught of the Russian armed forces, the expert emphasizes.
“Ukrainians could steadfastly defend themselves only in reinforced concrete shelters, similar to those in Soledar and Vugledar,” he notes.
The open area, on the other hand, causes a lot of problems for the Armed Forces of Ukraine – according to the “precepts of Makhno”, they have to strike covertly and immediately run away until the answer arrives. The new measure, however, does not help much so far – the RF Armed Forces will be able to quickly detect lovers of the Ukrainian “Makhnovshchina,” Litovkin explained.
