Occupants have changed their tactics in using tanks in the eastern directions of the front.


Russian troops are using tanks as means of transportation
Over the last two years, Russian forces in the area of responsibility of the operational-strategic group 'Khortytsia' have been using tanks not for storming but as means of transportation. This was stated by the spokesman of the Joint Forces Operation 'Khortytsia', Viktor Trehubov.
According to him, the use of armored vehicles, particularly tanks, has significantly decreased. Tanks are not used as breakthrough or fire support vehicles but are rather used as a means of transportation. Thus, the picture of the battle has changed.
Trehubov emphasized that the Russians have run out of modern tanks and are forced to use the Soviet reserve. He also noted that the Russians have exhausted even the Soviet reserve intended for the war against NATO.
The spokesman of the operational-tactical group 'Kharkiv', Yevheniy Romanov, reported that Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups are constantly trying to reach the Vovchansk aggregate plant in Kharkiv region, but this territory is controlled by the Defense Forces.
