The situation in the Pokrovsk direction is becoming increasingly tense. Russian units are accumulating infantry and sending them forward in assault groups equipped only with automatic rifles. It is known that vehicles and motorcycles have practically not been recorded in this direction, and enemy positions are being stormed exclusively by small infantry groups.
'The enemy uses phones with 'Alpinksvest' and simply guides fighters to a specified point on the map. Mostly they have a limited arsenal - they can only have an automatic rifle and a few magazines with ammunition. Sometimes they are even without magazines - this is no longer a rarity,' explained the intelligence officer.
'Majors' emphasized that these are not decorations. Recently, during an operation, stormtroopers were found who were literally 'empty' - without any equipment.
Problem with equipment among stormtroopers
The scout emphasized that fighters often remain without necessary equipment, relying on logistics that do not always reach them. They head to the front in uniforms, only with an automatic rifle in hand, without even a helmet or body armor. This creates additional difficulties in wartime conditions.
Reports from the front indicate that Russian troops are engaging in battles with minimal equipment, often limiting themselves only to automatic rifles and a limited supply of ammunition. This complicates not only their own actions but also creates additional opportunities for Ukrainian troops at the front.
