Occupants in Slobozhanshchyna disguise themselves under umbrellas: how the new tactic works

Occupants on the Northern Slobozhansky direction

According to hvylya.net: On the Northern Slobozhansky direction, the occupants have changed their tactics and are now using makeshift 'umbrellas' for camouflage against Ukrainian drones. This was reported by the commander of the reconnaissance unit 'Askold' of the 'Steel Border' brigade with the call sign 'Leading' on Army TV.

According to him, within the boundaries of the Yunakivska and Khotinska territorial communities, the enemy is advancing daily, changing their tactics. If previously the Russians used motorcycles and ATVs, now only infantry is advancing. The size of assault groups has also increased - from three to four to five or six people.

New method of camouflage

'In broad daylight, without shame, they walk openly. They started using such 'umbrellas' - they take some metal frame, cover it with some foliage, camouflage netting. And when they hear the sound of a drone, they just disguise themselves under it,' said 'Leading.'

However, such camouflage does not always help the occupants. Ukrainian drone operators and FPV drones work continuously, effectively detecting and destroying enemy groups.

'The fields there are not sown, the weeds are almost shoulder high, above the waist. So they try to camouflage themselves in them with these umbrellas, running from fields to various thickets. At night, we also track them and eliminate them,' summarized the commander.

This change in the tactics of the Russians indicates the effectiveness of Ukrainian counteraction through unmanned systems, forcing the enemy to seek new camouflage methods that, however, are not always successful.

During combat operations on the Northern Slobozhansky direction, the occupants use a new method of camouflage, but Ukrainian drone operators successfully thwart their attacks, rendering tactical explosions ineffective.
