Change of tactics by Russian occupiers
Russian occupiers have changed their tactics in the Kramatorsk direction, trying to accumulate forces in the 'gray zone' and conduct attacks with small infantry groups. According to the commander of the 'Sapsan' battalion of the 30th separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Konstantin Ostrozhsky, Mykhailo Tkach, the enemy is simplifying the equipment of their stormtroopers, providing them with only 3-4 magazines and 1-2 grenades. This allows Russian troops to operate more mobile and unnoticed.
Moreover, the occupiers actively use heavy bombers, especially drones, to deliver food, medicines, radios, and power banks. This indicates that logistics have become a key element in their operations. The use of ground robotic complexes to support rear units also highlights new approaches to warfare.
Adaptation to modern warfare
Mykhailo Tkach notes that the enemy 'masks very well' and has 'good supply in terms of camouflage coats.' According to him, Russian forces 'are going for first-class armor protection,' which gives them a certain advantage in combat conditions. Thus, the enemy tries to compensate for the lack of manpower for logistics by using new technologies and tactical techniques. These changes can significantly impact the course of military operations in the region.
The change in tactics of the Russian occupiers indicates their adaptation to the conditions of modern warfare, where logistics and mobility are becoming increasingly important. The use of new technologies, such as drones and robotic complexes, allows them to sustain their operations even under conditions of limited supply and manpower. These factors may significantly influence the further development of the conflict in the Kramatorsk direction and overall at the front.
