What is known about the situation in Chasovoy Yar

Earlier, the serviceman of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and political scientist Kyrylo Sazonov said that Russia is throwing elite units into battle for Chasiv Yar.

For 2-4 weeks, the Russians have been throwing elite units into the first wave of the offensive. Enemy airborne troops operate near Chasov Yar. Now the enemy withdrew the 98th division, and threw another landing party, but this information has not yet been confirmed, - the military said.

At the same time, Volodymyr Nazarenko, an artillery officer of the 4th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine "Rubizh", noted that the occupiers cannot actively use artillery and mortars in the area of Chasovoy Yar.

High activity of enemy UAVs. But the unmanned systems of the Defense Forces also work successfully. And the enemy, one way or another, is forced to drag his artillery to his rear in a certain way. He can no longer hit the near and far rear of the Defense Forces with artillery and mortars. And he tries to compensate for this by using guided or unguided aerial bombs, Grad-type MLRS, etc., the fighter explained.
