Attack small groups and brought out shooting fights: Armed Forces on the tactics of the occupiers in Bakhmut
The commander of a separate brigade of the territorial defense forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Colonel Dmitry Zarostnyuk told about it in Military Media Center. "Bakhmut needs to be kept! There we restrain and grind significant forces of Russian invaders, who in the case of our retreat will be thrown into other directions and will continue their attack on Ukrainian cities," he said.
According to Kombrig, in Bakhmut, the forces of defense faced a slightly different nature than they saw earlier. Russian invaders are attacked mainly by small groups of 5-6 people. These groups, under the cover of enemy artillery, try to penetrate Ukrainian battle and join contact shooting fights. "We answer the same and here the key is the level of combat training, the coordination of the unit and the motivation of personnel.
I am proud that we have everything in our crew," - summarized Dmitry Zavorotnyuk. It should be reminded that the British intelligence report on April 14 stated that the Russian occupiers intensified the attack on Bakhmut in Donetsk, and due to certain circumstances of defense forces, organized some positions. Earlier, near Avdiivka, paratroopers of the 71st Heger Brigade stormed the enemy's position and knocked it out.
