If Russia is using more and more all-terrain vehicles during its attacks against Ukrainian positions, it is also because it has fewer and fewer heavy armored vehicles.
In the Kharkiv sector, the Russians would have returned to their old assault tactics consisting of using small groups, reports Sergeant Volodymyr Degtyarev, representative of the press service of the 13th Khartiia brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, quoted by Defence Express.
To move quickly and hope to surprise the Ukrainiansthe Russians would usemotorcycles, buggies, quads and other fast vehicles.
“One-way vehicles”
“These means of transport rarely come back. Usually they are one-way vehicles. That is why there are a lot of burned motorcycles and buggies around the positions where the enemy is hiding in our area of responsibility”said Volodymyr Degtyarev.
But if Russia uses more and more all-terrain vehicles during its attacks against Ukrainian positions, it is also because it has fewer and fewer heavy armored vehicles. In addition, by favoring these lighter vehicles, Moscow sacrifices the protection his troops would benefit from in a more heavily armored vehicle, leaving them much more vulnerable to Ukrainian attacks.
