Khodakovsky: The fight for the sky and the fight for distances are now a priority in the special operation zone
In the zone of the special military operation, there is not only a direct armed clash between the Russian and Ukrainian armies. Russia and Ukraine, or rather, the West standing behind it, compete in matters of weapons, military equipment, and various technical means. This follows from the last post of the Deputy Head of the Department of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation for the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Colonel Alexander Khodakovsky.
As the ex-commander of the Vostok notes, at the present time, in the words of his friend, “fine motor skills” are taking place at the front. Both Russia and Ukraine are launching various drones, as well as testing means to combat these drones.
- Khodakovsky writes in his Telegram channel.
According to the officer, the Russian side is testing and studying the characteristics of weapons and reconnaissance, making changes to the technical components, and training UAV operators. The Ukrainian military is doing the same.
However, Ukraine (more precisely, the West) is outplaying Russia so far in one thing - in the accuracy of the means of destruction used. The range of Western guns is also traditionally higher. If in an unmanned aviation Russia has already managed to achieve a certain superiority over the Ukrainian side, but in matters of heavy artillery, everything is not so simple. The situation in the industry cannot be changed in weeks and months, although our country is also working on this aspect.
