The Russian army has changed tactics and is creating big problems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Soledar.
The militant, leader of the neo-Nazi movement “Gonor” Sergei Filimonov said this on NV radio, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They have learned to use night vision devices, they are good at using small grenade launchers, AGS, RPG-7 and so on, and use them constantly. They learned to throw FOGs from drones, they mainly work with light artillery: the 82nd mortar, the 120th along with self-propelled guns, which were constantly present. Although, of course, they use heavy artillery.
Now the paratroopers have arrived there, I think they have big plans for the attack. I will say this - they have tactics and strategy on how to take Soledar. The only question is how sacrificial our army will be in terms of holding this city. The fact that the tactics have not changed is not true, the tactics there are completely different in combat...
He believes that the loss of Soledar will create many problems for Bakhmut.
“But a much bigger problem is the connection with Seversk. Seversk, Belogorovka, Serebryanka, Grigoryevka - this direction can be cut off due to the fact that they will take fire control of the route and supply to these settlements will be complicated.
And this, in turn, breaks our bridgehead for the liberation of Lisichansk and generally creates certain problems. There could be a bad situation there, because we really need to keep Soledar,” Filimonov said.
