Russia Uses Weather for Offensives: How Fog Changes the Situation on the Frontline.

According to inkorr.com: Russian military increasingly uses weather conditions to pressure Ukrainian positions. According to data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), fog, rain, and clouds complicate the work of Ukrainian drones, giving the enemy an advantage on the frontline.

Dense fog has become an important factor in the attempts of Russian forces to advance in the Novopavlivka area, allowing them to cross the pontoon bridge during worsening weather conditions.

Difficult Situation for the Ukrainian Army

'Russia's use of weather reveals vulnerabilities in Ukrainian defenses and the need for conventional weaponry,' notes ISW.

Ukraine's defense currently heavily relies on drones, but adverse weather conditions limit their effectiveness, placing the country in a difficult position on the frontline.

Suggestions for Strengthening Defense Capability

The Institute believes that Ukraine urgently needs to enhance conventional weaponry, including artillery, intelligence, and defensive positions, to reduce vulnerability to the enemy.

Additionally, experts note that Russia is using artificial intelligence to create panic in the Pokrovsk region.

Thus, using weather in combat has become yet another challenge for the Ukrainian army, which must adapt to new conditions. It is crucial for the country to strengthen its positions and enhance its defense capability in light of these changes.
