For inexperienced 40-50 years there were professionals: in ISW, how they changed the assault of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

According to one serviceman of the Armed Forces, about 3/4 of the Russians, with whom his unit entered the battle near Avdiivka, were "decent" prepared, and the rest acted in a bad way. The Russian forces operating in the Avdeevsky direction seem to be adapted to conducting offensive terrestrial operations, which participate in both prepared and inexperienced personnel. About it writes "Institute of War Study" in the summary of February 3.

On March 2, the Washington Post interviewed several Ukrainian servicemen from the 3rd assault brigade. They discussed the devastating wave attacks of Russian troops in Avdiivka before capturing the city in mid -February. Some of the Armed Forces fighters called the Russian forces that participated in the assault as well prepared.

According to one serviceman of the Armed Forces, about three quarters of the Russians, with whom his unit entered the battle near Avdiivka, apparently, were "decent" prepared, and the rest were "simply embarrassed". One Ukrainian defender recalled that a group of well -trained Russians used jet grenades to get into the Armed Forces. Another said that inexperienced Russian servicemen no longer stormed his position after he shot eight in a day.

According to him, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was sent inexperienced ages 40-50 years for wave attacks every morning, day and evening without protective vests and helmets. Some Russians had a modern equipment, others have only rifles. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation probably sent poorly trained personnel to daily massive attacks on Ukrainian positions, trained personnel staff, in turn, stormed specific positions, after Ukrainian defenders tired.
