Stormtroopers in flip-flops without "armored armor": the Armed Forces spoke about the new tactics of the Russian Federation in Donetsk region (video)

Share: The occupiers are trying to replace the positions of the Defense Forces in the Siversk direction of the Donetsk region, sending infantrymen to storm in flip-flops without helmets and body armor. On October 19, Stepan Barna, the commander of the company of unmanned aircraft complexes "Barni" of the 10th separate mountain-assault brigade "Edelweiss" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told about the battles in the Donetsk region on the air of the "Kyiv 24" channel on October 19.

According to him, assaults by Russians on the Siverskyi direction are happening all the time. "The enemy tries to enter the positions of the Defense Forces in small infantry groups, this happens almost without limit. Usually, in many circumstances, it happens in one direction. You can imagine such a situation when an infantryman of the occupier without an "armor", without a helmet, only with a TM (anti-tank mine - ed.

) in his hands moves in flip-flops and tries to replace the position of the Ukrainian defenders," the commander said. According to him, the key task of such attack aircraft is to install a mine and detonate it. According to Stepan Barna, assaults without equipment may indicate either internal disciplinary problems or the fact that the Russian Armed Forces are resorting to desperate measures. At the same time, such phenomena acquire a mass character.

"Despite all the circumstances, the assault operations are supported by artillery, aviation, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft guns are actively used in fields, on landings, in front-line cities, and this is simply massive," the company commander noted.

We will remind, on October 18, the press service of the "Charter" corps of the National Guard of Ukraine published a video of an attack on the Russian positions by their own missile from the "Grad" multiple-launch rocket system, which was launched back in 2022 and fell in a field. The ammunition was dropped on the occupiers by a Ukrainian Vampire drone.
