Artillerymen are going into infantry assaults: a new tactic of the enemy in southern Ukraine.


Russian artillerymen are refusing to perform their duties due to the successful counter-battery warfare of the Ukrainian forces
In the southern direction, the situation in the combat zone of the Ukrainian-Russian conflict remains complex due to the heavy losses in manpower suffered by the Russian troops. Therefore, the Russian command has decided to send professional artillerymen into assault infantry groups, which have been prepared for a long Time.
According to the spokesperson of the Southern Defense Forces, Vladyslav Voloshyn, the Ukrainian forces are successfully conducting counter-battery warfare and active reconnaissance, allowing them to inflict serious losses on the enemy. This leads to Russian artillerymen refusing to fulfill their duties.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, many Russian officer-artillerymen have submitted requests for transfer to other units, but the command is considering their transfer to infantry.
This indicates a shortage of personnel in assault groups, particularly in the Novopavlivka area, where the enemy suffers significant losses. Professionals who have trained for a long time are now forced to perform duties alongside infantry, as the command lacks qualified specialists in assault groups, which is a serious problem for the Russian army.
