According to the sergeant of the UAV strike unit of the 109th ground defense brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yehor Firsov, Russian war criminals are actively using UAVs in the Avdiivka region of Donetsk region, which somewhat limits the actions of the Ukrainian military.
What is known about the situation in the Avdiivka area
Firsov emphasized that the BpLa of the Russian occupiers literally "hang" over the heads of the Ukrainian military and allow the enemy to receive complete information about the supply routes of the Armed Forces in the Avdiyivka area.
The military officer noted that Russian war criminals use the information obtained from drones to attack the positions of the Armed Forces with strike drones.
The situation around Avdiivka is critical and the situation is unchanged. Our unit is not located directly in Avdiivka, but nearby. We use strike drones to cover our infantry and all those in the city. The enemy is very heavily using unmanned lethal vehicles of various types. For example, they have a type of UAV like ZALA that just hangs around and broadcasts to the enemy everything that is happening on the battlefield and not only directly there. They are also trying to use it to control the roads to make it difficult for our forces to make rotations, deliver BC and provisions, carry out evacuations, etc., - says the soldier.
According to him, at the expense of these UAVs, the Russian occupiers are striking the supply routes of the Armed Forces in the Avdiyivka area.
In particular, the road to the city is currently being shot at by all means of attack available to the enemy, including various types of FPV drones
The Russians now use FPV drones with a night camera that fly at night. There are still some aspects that can be commented on by the senior command, which sees the situation more clearly, - the military officer explains.
He emphasized that the Avdiyivka region currently remains almost the hottest area of the front due to the constant use of aerial bombs controlled by the occupiers to attack the positions of Ukrainian defenders.
Enemy anti-aircraft vehicles are constantly arriving at the positions. If this KAB fell next to the infantrymen, then this is 100% contusion, even if it fell 200 meters away. There were times when we worked in positions where Avdiivka could be seen with the naked eye from afar, then when the KAB fell, we felt a real earthquake in our dugout. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine the feelings of our boys, next to whom these bombs are constantly falling hundreds of meters away. It is difficult not only physically, but also psychologically, - says Firsov.
He emphasized that despite the constant enemy pressure in the Avdiiv direction, the Ukrainian defenders are holding on.
We are doing everything in order to bind the enemy, to cause him the maximum huge losses, both in the personnel of the infantry and in the armored vehicles, - emphasized the military man.
