Russians storm the Donetsk highway: how the occupiers changed their tactics in the Pokrovsk direction.
Situation in the Pokrovsk direction
According to inkorr.com: In the Pokrovsk direction, enemy forces plan to break through to the Donetsk highway, trying to harm Ukrainian logistics. This was reported by an officer of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Anna Kyivska, Artem Prybylov.
According to the soldier, the enemy has been conducting numerous assaults in recent days. Russian attackers are covered by artillery, and 'the sky is very dirty, clogged with drones.'
Change of attack tactics
The occupiers have changed their tactics, often attempting to advance without helmets and body armor, favoring speed of movement. This resembles an 'absolute Zerg rush,' where mass attacks occur with minimal protection.
'If we take 90% of the cases, the enemy mainly tries to advance with very light infantry. It really resembles American football, where the opponent wants to make a touchdown. That is, to capture some basement, accumulate there, keep personnel, and then infiltrate further,' the officer noted.
Situation on the Donetsk highway
The occupiers use small group tactics to block the Donetsk highway and harm Ukrainian logistics. This may lead to supply complications and escalate the situation in the region.
The attempts of the Russian command to achieve success on this important logistics route confirm the enemy's readiness to suffer significant losses to achieve their goals.
