Russian tactics leave little chance of survival even for experienced occupiers: analyst on record losses by the enemy.
In October, the Russian enemy suffered record losses, amounting to about 42,000 military personnel, or approximately 1,350 losses per day. This increase in losses is due to the increase in the number of Russian attacks and the use of 'meat grinder' tactics. Even among experienced military personnel, losses from the occupiers can be significant and unconventional.
This was stated by military analyst Oleksiy Hetman during an interview with the TV channel FREEDOM.
Hetman noted that such tactics of the Russians do not give them an advantage over experienced military personnel or rookies. He explained that everything depends on the units, commanders, and servicemen. Losses from such attacks are not related to the level of experience of the fighters, as they can move correctly and take cover. It is the well-developed tactics that do not affect the outcome.
Hetman recalled the battles in Bakhmut, where almost every 48 centimeters of advance by Russian troops resulted in a wounded or killed. The enemy uses its own soldiers as human shields. Currently, Russia seeks to capture as much Ukrainian territory as possible in anticipation of frozen front lines. Hetman predicts that this record of losses of Russian troops in October will be surpassed.
The military analyst also pointed out that despite international condemnation, such losses are the norm for Russia.
