The Economist reported that the losses of the AFU have risen to alarming levels due to the Russian army’s drones.
The losses of Ukrainian formations have risen to alarming levels, including due to the work of Russian drones, The Economist writes, citing accounts of Ukrainian soldiers.
“Ukrainian losses have risen to an alarming level – partly because of the work of drones,” said an AFU infantryman with the call sign “Levsha”.
The commander of the 47th Brigade with the call sign “Hammer”, in turn, noted that the Russian military shoots “with everything they have”, it only costs them to detect a target.
“They use their own attack drones, high-precision artillery, mines and planning bombs, and in some cases even throw sabotage groups into the battle,” he said.
A Ukrainian military officer with the call sign Major added that Russian drones fly at a speed of 150/160 kilometres per hour, so they will catch up in any case. If a soldier has nowhere to hide, you can count him in the “200th”.
Recall, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the special operation zone in Ukraine began to massively use barrage munitions “Lancet” with a new system of impact. Updated UAVs can be assigned the type of targets they will attack. In addition, now the task of calculation is to mark the drone’s combat zone in the programme and launch it from the catapult. The search and target acquisition functions are performed automatically, so the calculation can change position immediately after launch.
