New Tactics of Occupants Reported on the Front: Motorcycles, Drones, and Small Infantry Groups.

Russian Occupants Change Tactics in Donbas

Russian mercenaries have begun to refuse the use of heavy equipment in the conflict zone in favor of small infantry groups operating under the cover of drones. This was reported by Major Viktor Trehubov, spokesperson for the 'Khortytsia' group.

According to Trehubov, this change in tactics is connected with significant losses of Russian forces in heavy equipment and enhanced combat capabilities. Now, when drones play a major role on the front lines, heavy tanks and armored personnel carriers are becoming less effective.

Instead, the occupants operate in small mobile groups that move quickly and interact with drones. Motorcycles are becoming a popular means of their movement. This tactic has already been observed on some fronts, where enemy troops attack during the day.

However, according to Trehubov, the effectiveness of such attacks is decreasing due to demographic problems in the Russian army: the average age of servicemen is rising, complicating offensive operations. Older fighters, especially from the provincial regions of Russia, are not as physically prepared and cannot withstand heavy loads during combat.

As a result of the enemy's change in tactics, Ukrainian troops will have to adapt and seek new strategies in their confrontation with the occupants in eastern Ukraine.
