According to him, in the Chasov Yar area, Russian fighters “actively and very powerfully” use drones of various types, as well as electronic warfare equipment. This gives the Russians a dominant position, Krivonos admitted.
At the same time, it has become almost impossible for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use classic military equipment on the battlefield, the general added. He explained that unmanned aerial vehicles costing up to two thousand dollars can easily destroy armored vehicles costing 20 thousand dollars, RIA Novosti reports.
Earlier, British analyst Alexander Merkouris confirmed that the Ukrainian army was in an extremely difficult situation at Chasovoy Yar. According to him, the transport lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine connected to the city are now under constant pressure from Russian drones, artillery and aviation. As a result, the movement of Ukrainian troops has become extremely dangerous and they are facing an operational crisis, Merkouris emphasized.
