The Drones of the Armed Forces suppressed Russian artillery on the Left Bank: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation uses cabins - ISW

On December 16, The New York Times published several interviews with the Ukrainian military, which said that the Armed Forces dropped the Russian long -range artillery in the east. Earlier, Ukrainian officials stated that the Armed Forces had occupied several bridgeheads on the left bank, and that the task was to reject Russian troops at such a distance that the right shore did not stay within the artillery radius.

The suppression of Russian artillery can allow the Armed Forces to act more freely in the nearby areas, and this can partially explain intense blows of corrective airplanes in Ukrainian positions. 152 mm of artillery with a range of about 25 km, which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is widely used on the front line, is unlikely to deploy in the nearby areas of the front on the Left Bank due to the threat of counter-breadcrumbs.

The removal of the artillery can eliminate the constant threat to the settlements on the right bank, many residents of the region who, in this case, could return home. The Armed Forces, for their part, would have launched important counter -battery defense systems and options in the Dnieper area to continue operations. The Ukrainian military said that the Russian Federation successfully transferred to the Kherson region units of the Air Force from the western part of the Zaporozhye region.

Earlier, representatives of Ukraine reported that during operations on the Left Bank from October 17 to November 17, 1126 Russian servicemen were wounded and 2217 were injured - hence the assumption that the Armed Forces could cause significant losses to the Russian forces in the area. The exhaustion of Russian troops defending on the left bank of the Kherson region can be an immediate operational purpose.
