In some sectors of the front, Ukrainian tank crews had more freedom of action than Russians.
For the first time since the start of a full-scale war, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have come close to superiority over the Russians in the use of tanks. However, this only applies to certain sectors of the front, Forbes military columnist David Ax wrote on Sunday, January 12.
In his publication on the pages of the publication, he cited excerpts from the publication of a Russian military blogger analyzing the tactics of using tanks by both sides.
“Our tanks can only operate from closed firing positions are not available to them,” wrote a Russian blogger.
He calls the main reason for this very effective work of Ukrainian FPV drones: if the Russians try to send tanks in an attack, Ukrainian drones usually burn them on the way to line of fire.
“The enemy has achieved a sufficient mass and variety of its drones, has honed the tactics of their use Therefore, in the tactical direction, where the enemy has at least two companies of attack drones (FPV) + two reconnaissance UAV companies (. this is in addition to copters of military units), he strictly closes the ability of our armored vehicles and tanks to operate tanks and infantry fighting vehicles/armored personnel carriers are does not reach the line of attack – they have been killed 3-6 km from the front, in the depth of our formations, “complained the Russian.
It was noted that Ukrainian tanks, even if they suffer from Russian drones, still have more freedom of action in the contact line.
According to the blogger, Russian drones show significantly lower efficiency because they are more vulnerable to electronic warfare systems.
“The enemy has the ability to use his tanks not only from closed firing positions, but also for short direct fire attacks in the secondary direction (…) The enemy shows high flexibility spaces, then technologically they still represent a serious rival in terms of their military branches,” said the Russian blogger.
Let’s recall that in December, British intelligence reported that Russia had emptied warehouses of Soviet tanks in Siberia.
