Recently, the Russian army is putting all its strength to quickly gain control of the strategic city of Bakhmut in Donetsk province, Eastern Ukraine.
According to Defense Express, the biggest difficulties that Ukraine’s defense forces are facing come from the superior firepower advantage of the Russian army.
Accordingly, similar to what was done in the battle to gain control of the city of Poznan (now in Poland) in February 1945, before launching infantry into the fight, the Russian army caused confusion to the enemy by
In Poznan, Soviet troops reportedly fired thousands of artillery shells at enemy positions in the city.
Previously, 12 Russian artillery units were dispatched to participate in the `pan of fire` in Eastern Ukraine.
Russia’s intense shelling not only caused heavy damage to the city of Bakhmut but also caused Ukraine’s defense forces to disperse to avoid damage.
In addition, like what happened in Poznan, the Russian army regularly uses small armored vehicles, including the UR-77 Zmei engineering vehicle, to raid Russian targets.
Russia’s above tactic is said to have been effective, as its army has an almost absolute superiority in firepower at Bakhmut.
In a statement updating the war situation on February 5, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense, affirmed that the country’s forces, with support from artillery and fighter aircraft,
Russia deployed heavy artillery and flattened many Ukrainian military targets
