MOSCOW, December 20 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are experiencing difficulties evacuating the wounded from the contact line, since Russian drones immediately destroy approaching Ukrainian equipment, a retired Ukrainian Armed Forces general said Sergei Krivonos in an interview with the YouTube channel Newsroom.
«In many sectors of the front, equipment does not go to the front line, because as soon as it appears at a distance of three to four kilometers from the front line, it is immediately attacked by Russian drones. In some areas — up to eight kilometers. <…> These are the realities. All the wounded are carried out mainly in their arms,” he shared.
< br />Krivonos also recognized the superiority of Russian electronic warfare systems and expressed indignation that Ukraine does not produce its own electronic warfare systems.
The day before, the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu said that in the groupings of Russian troops More than 1,700 crews of unmanned aerial vehicles and over 1,500 FPV drone operators have been trained. According to him, new, “non-standard” tactical methods of unit action have been introduced into combat training, which have shown their effectiveness on the battlefield.
