“After massive shelling, the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are too depressed to fight”: in the foreign press about the tactics of the RF Armed Forces before the assault
The successes of recent days in the capture of key defense centers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass by Russian troops are largely due to the large-scale use of artillery before the start of the assault on the enemy’s fortified positions.
As noted in the publication Pucará Defensa, the mass concentration of artillery systems by the command of the RF Armed Forces in certain sectors of the front allows breaking into the defense perimeters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine even before the armored vehicles and infantry go on the attack. The most vulnerable to artillery fire are stationary lines of defense - trench networks, field fortifications, fortifications in villages and cities and their environs.
- is indicated in the foreign press, explaining that the city was eventually taken by the forces of two BTGs, including with the participation of the special forces of the 24th brigade.
After the success in Krasny Liman, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation repeated the tactics of massed attacks on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and military battalions in Severodonetsk. According to the author, on May 27, after several hours of intense artillery fire and air strikes (“on that day, Su-25 VKS flew in flocks over the entire city”), Russian troops attacked from four directions.

Recall that today more than 70 percent of the territory of Severodonetsk is under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the People's Militia of the LPR.
