Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported on the situation at the front, amid work in the hottest spots in the east. The commander-in-chief emphasized the importance of effective fire damage to the enemy, the use of drones and high-quality training of troops to deter the enemy's offensive, UNN reports.
I work in the hottest areas of the Eastern Front. The enemy does not pay attention to the rather high level of losses and continues to rush towards Pokrovsk. Fierce fighting continues in Krasnohorivka, in the areas of Progress, Zalizne, Pivdenne, Chasovyi Yar. Occupants keep trying to capture Stelmakhivka, Makiivka, attacking our positions in Ivanivske, Klishchiyivka, trying to seize the islands of the floodplain on the left bank of the Dnipro river
According to the Commander-in-Chief, "active hostilities of varying intensity are taking place along the entire frontline.
"What can and should we do to stop the offensive of a numerically superior enemy? There is only one answer: effective fire damage to the enemy's main forces and reserves on the far approaches, comprehensive damage to the enemy in front of the front line, steady holding of the prepared engineering borders and positions, maximum effective use of all weapons and ammunition capabilities, especially combat drones, in which we have an advantage. As well as mastering new ways to destroy enemy reconnaissance UAVs in the face of a total shortage of short-range anti-aircraft missiles, only using electronic warfare and fpv drones," Syrskyi said.
"It seems to be nothing new. At the same time, it requires skill in the use of weapons and equipment, accurate fire, maneuvering fire, forces and means - that is, high-quality training of all categories of servicemen to perform combat missions," he said.
According to him, "it is important to prepare the headquarters of all levels in order to maximize the use of combat capabilities of the troops and minimize our losses." "Therefore, this time I also checked the progress of preparing the reserves for participation in combat operations. I note the maximum approximation of the training to the real combat situation, the use of drones with drops and fpv drones to simulate the enemy's actions, which allows us to train our soldiers to practically destroy this extremely dangerous type of weapon," the Chief of Staff said.
He noted that "it is worth using our advantage in the use of combat drones and fpv drones to destroy enemy UAVs."
"I met with each brigade commander who is leading the defense in the main enemy's areas of operations, discussed issues of increasing the effectiveness of our actions, replenishing losses, providing ammunition, and solving other problematic issues. Of course, I thanked our soldiers for the courage, fortitude and heroism they show every day in the defense of our country and presented them with awards!" - Syrsky said.
