MOSCOW, December 5. The Russian military could use drones instead of infantry to storm positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, former CIA officer Larry Johnson said in an interview with the Judging Freedom YouTube channel.
“
"Russia has expanded the use of drones to the point that it can now attack entrenched Ukrainian fighters individually. In the past, they would have had to use ground forces to attack, but now they don't need to. So Ukraine is in a very dangerous position,” the expert said.
Johnson noted that even the United States will not be able to provide Ukraine with the means to repel such maneuvers of the Russian army, adding that the potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is somehow to continue hostilities has practically exhausted itself.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have been trying for the sixth month to advance in the Yuzhnodonetsk, Artemovsk and Zaporozhye directions, throwing into battle brigades trained by NATO and armed with foreign equipment. According to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, the enemy army lost more than 125 thousand people during the six-month counteroffensive.
