Fierce fighting continues in the Bakhmut region of Donetsk region for the fifth month. Having not achieved success, the Russian invaders decided to change their tactics, copying them from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, they do not know how to use it effectively and suffer enormous losses. This was announced today, on December 11, on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel by military analyst Oleksiy Getman.
According to the expert, the Russians are beginning to disband or practically do not use their battalion tactical groups, which include up to 800 people.
“They are trying to repeat our tactics: to fight in small groups of 10-15 people. But they copied only the outside. Our groups have good communication and connection with each other. On the battlefield, the commanders of such groups have the right to make independent tactical decisions depending on the situation that is unfolding right now. But these small Russian groups are still tightly controlled centrally. That is, even if during the battle it is necessary to make some decision to the commander, he does not accept them, because it is necessary to coordinate with the “big bosses”. In a word, they copied it, but not completely,” Getman explained.
According to him, from 10 to 15 such groups can be sent into battle per day. Moreover, they mainly consist of newly mobilized soldiers who have actually not been trained in anything.
“This is what happens: a group of 10-15 people is walking, they are simply, by and large, shot and 3-5 people remain, retreat. In half an hour, as a maximum, the next group goes. Then there is a pause – they prepare new groups for slaughter, and the next day, or even a few hours later, this story repeats itself. And it is not the “Wagnerites” who are advancing, but the newly mobilized. Most likely, the “Wagnerites” are behind and act as detachments. After that, when they put a bunch of their people, they are trying to capture something. But they can’t do it. And so it repeats already … Well, you know, even Chernobaivka is resting. Because for five months every day a bunch of Russian people are sent to be slaughtered,” Getman said.
Referring to the data of the military, the analyst said that the Russians do not take the bodies of their soldiers. The Ukrainian military has to simply walk over corpses.
“Our scouts, who go out to find out the situation for several kilometers towards the enemy, say: they are no longer walking on the ground, it is impossible to stand on the ground there. They say we walk over the bodies of dead Russians who are not taken away. Second army, second hand. It’s just a nightmare. Fighting them is psychologically difficult for Ukrainian soldiers, because we have dignity, we still try to respect the enemy, and such actions cause a feeling of disgust towards these people,” the analyst concluded.
