In the clash of artillery, Ukraine is more often the winner than Russia – Der Spiegel

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are fighting on a certain principle, which they cannot afford to deviate from due to the lack of heavy weapons.

On the 108th day of the war more and more foreigners The media write that the war in Ukraine escalated into artillery clashes . Journalists of Der Spiegel, who saw live one of such duels in the Nikolaev area, note that more often such battles are won by Ukraine.

The media reports that the tactics of the Armed Forces are that they quickly deploy ACS, fire, and then move away from positions before they are noticed by enemy drones. Thus, Ukrainian defenders keep an absolute amount of equipment.

“June morning, somewhere in the vast fields of the Nikolaev area in the south of the country. Two soldiers jump out of the Ukrainian howitzer 2C1, run 50 meters and set the aiming circle on a tripod. The battery commander shouts out the coordinates of the target, in quick succession, after which he immediately jumps up and disappears into the bushes, hiding from enemy drones, “- describe the German journalists.

Otherwise, Ukraine cannot afford to fight because we lack firepower. The Russians, meanwhile, lack both artillery and ammunition. They focus their efforts primarily on Donbass.
