Forbes: AFU Use Trick

The Western journalists have reported about the new tactics of the Ukrainians.

The war in Ukraine continues, and the Ukrainian soldiers use a new tactic at the front amid a lack of ammunition - they strike with artillery, and then destroy the remnants of the enemy forces with the help of FPV-drones.

Such drones cannot become a literal replacement for shells, but they can supplement traditional artillery and alleviate the reducing but constant shortage of ammunition among the defenders of the Ukrainian state, Forbes writes.

"One of the Ukrainian tactics that we observe is that accurate artillery fire strikes a large Russian assault group and scatters its troops and hardware. Disorganised survivors taking cover beyond the protection of their radio jammers and air defence equipment become easy targets for FPVs which attack isolated soldiers and hardware," the article says.

The publication notes that while previously a battery of Ukrainians could fire 10 shells to hit a Russian assault group, now it can use only five shells and coordinate its actions with FPV drone operators to eliminate the enemies.

The journalists added that the Ukrainian army's "shell famine" deepened at the end of 2023, and a network of hundreds of small workshops across our country began producing more combat drones. According to the publication, they can now make more than 50,000 drones, "which apparently far exceeds Russia's own production of effective drones".
