In the Vovchansk direction, the enemy actively uses mechanized assaults, mainly on MT-LBs, which move in large groups in one direction. They are supported by motorcyclists, of whom they have many now, so-called swarms, these are 10-20 motorcyclists each. This tactic has already become typical for them. For some time, the enemy refrained from using armored vehicles, but now we are observing its return to assault operations
According to him, before enemy attacks, there is massive fire support, barrel artillery, Grads, and mortars are working.
In general, the enemy continues the strategy of meat assaults, relying on numbers despite huge losses, but we see this, we are ready for it, the enemy is noticeably suffering losses
He noted that the Russians combine motorcycle groups, infantry, and MT-LBs.
Motorcycles are used for a quick breakthrough of defenses or for delivering assault troops closer to positions. This creates a certain dynamic. But our FPV drones, our crews have all become very adept at destroying all these motorized infantry groups
