The Russian army is unable to effectively deploy its weapons in the Oleksandrivka sector due to the large number of Ukrainian FPV drones and is being forced to restrict its use of military equipment.
This was stated in an
interview with Ukrinform by Serhii Kolesnychenko, an officer with the communications section of the 148th Separate Zhytomyr Artillery Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces.
“The enemy has enough weapons to conduct intensive offensive operations. They have artillery, armored vehicles and a large number of unmanned systems. At the same time, they face difficulties in using these weapons effectively. Because the battlefield is saturated with Ukrainian FPV drones, the enemy is forced to limit the use of equipment that cannot reach the line of contact within 15 kilometers,” Kolesnychenko said.
According to him, once Russian military equipment enters the kill zone, it is immediately targeted and destroyed by FPV drones operated by Ukrainian forces. As a result, Russian forces are being forced to disperse their equipment and rely increasingly on long-range strike capabilities, including unmanned systems.
