Battalion offensive - rarity: UAVs forced the Russian Federation to change tactics - Syrsky

According to the Commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, in response to the offensive of the Russians, Ukrainian defenders conduct small counterattacks that he described as "active defense". The wider use of unmanned aerial vehicles by Ukraine and Russia forced to change the tactics of fighting. The commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Sirsky told this in an interview with Reuters.

According to the commander, both sides are now conducting less large -scale fighting to save ammunition and preserve people's lives. According to him, Russia has also learned to respond and prevent losses. "The offensive operations at the battalion level are a rarity," Sirsky said.

At the same time, according to Sirsky, the armed forces of Russia are coming in several directions along the Eastern Front, seeking to establish complete control over the Donbass industrial zone, despite large losses in people and technology. Also, according to the commander, the Russian Federation hopes to regain lost positions in Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. In response, the Ukrainian soldiers carry out small counterattacks, which Syrsky characterized as "active defense".

They force the enemy to constantly be alert, exploring the possibilities for counterattack and seeking to regain the initiative. We will remind, in the same interview with Reuters, the commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky stated that the forces of defense still have a chance to move on the battlefield, as it was in the fall of 2022.
