Animal fear, 15 kilometers on foot and 90% loss of equipment: why in Kharkiv Oblast Russians walk over their own corpses

Screenshot from the video of the battalion of attack unmanned aerial systems “Achilles” of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after the basket chieftain Ivan Sirk In the Kharkiv region, the Russians are trying to advance in the direction of Kupyansk, despite the colossal losses of manpower, weapons and military equipment.

Captain Yury Fedorenko, the commander of the battalion of unmanned attack aircraft complexes “Achilles” of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after the basket chieftain Ivan Sirk, told about this on the air of “Social News”.

– Tactics [ворога] remains unchanged. When the enemy has the opportunity to actively use lightly armored or armored equipment, he uses it. But the enemy loses a significant amount of this equipment on the battlefield – up to 90% of that which is in the zone of damage of both our anti-tank weapons and drones. For long-range logistics, the enemy will use lightly armored vehicles quite actively, he said.

When the enemy’s armored vehicles are exhausted, the occupiers switch to motorcycles and buggies, and when they are lacking, they go on foot.

— When the enemy runs out of this equipment, he resorts to assaults at the expense of highly maneuverable vehicles – two-wheeled motorcycles, buggies, other pickup-type vehicles. When they are missing at a moment of time, it is mostly manpower. They move along landings, run across a clear field and in this way try to shorten the distance as much as possible and accumulate, the military said.

In some places, enemy soldiers have to cover very considerable distances on foot just to reach their own forward positions or assault lines.

— At some rallies, the enemy went through the entrance to advanced positions in the area of ​​12-15 kilometers. Step by step, they are trying to reach, accumulate and move on to shock-assault actions, – Yuriy Fedorenko said.

At the same time, the losses of the occupiers are extremely high, but they still continue to go.

— During such movements, the enemy suffers very significant losses, indeed very significant losses. The question arises as to why they resist, why they do not surrender to captivity, what can motivate them to run from one landing to another in a clear field, realizing that out of 8 people who run, out of 8 occupiers who run, one or two catch up, they are see what motivates you to move forward? – the officer asked himself a question and then answered it himself.

According to the commander of the drones, the occupiers are driven by an animal fear of their own accomplices.

– This is an animal fear of one’s own. The occupier understands that if he returns to the rear, he will not be able to be heard by his own – he is guaranteed to be either destroyed or publicly punished, and there are still a number of tools and coercion. Therefore, the occupier chooses death on the battlefield for himself, rather than returning to his people, he explained.

For the first time, the Russians saw the effectiveness of the described tactics and the attitude towards their own soldiers under Bakhmut and later scaled it to the entire Russian army.

— This tactic gave the enemy results during the Bakhmut campaign, when the “Wagner” was pushed forward. After that, the Russian occupation forces assumed that manpower is the cheapest resource, that this tactic works, and today most units of the Russian occupation forces – both contractors and those that support them – special forces and private military companies like “Storm Zet”, Yuriy Fedorenko said.

Earlier, ArmyInform reported that in the Kupyan region of the Kharkiv region, the enemy was “doing everything they could”, suffering colossal losses.
