The Ukrainian military uses unusual tactics during artillery strikes.
Experts drew attention to the fact that the Ukrainian military began to use new tactics during artillery and rocket attacks on the territories of the DPR and LPR. The tactics are very unusual, but, as Russian war correspondents note, they are very effective, since it is very difficult to identify the positions of the Ukrainian military at the moment.
According to the data provided by Russian military correspondents, the Ukrainian military actively use artillery exclusively in the daytime. We are talking only about cannon artillery. This is due to the fact that at night, flashes from artillery salvos can accurately determine the firing area and successfully hit targets with counterattacks.
“As a rule, with the advent of darkness, artillery shelling of Donetsk stops. In the dark, the risk of detection when fired increases significantly. This means that the risk of being destroyed by return fire also increases. After all, the observation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not stop day or night. Identified targets are immediately suppressed. Yes, at night, as a rule, the city is not shelled., - report the journalists of the "WarGonzo" project.
At the same time, experts pay attention to the fact that at night multiple launch rocket systems are actively used, including both Soviet-style ones (Grad, Uragan, Smerch, etc.), and American MLRS M142 Himars, as well as M270 MLRS. This is primarily due to the fact that such artillery systems are mobile and, after firing, quickly move to another position. In the case of shelling during the day, such complexes can be easily detected using a drone.
