The Ukrainian Armed Forces Have Begun Employing New Offensive Tactics

This has already helped recapture some of the territory.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ infantry is employing new tactics to overcome "kill zones") near the front lines, according to Z-channels: this gives the Ukrainians a significant advantage. The “Baba Yaga” drone is popular for transporting weapons, according to “We Can Explain”.

Soldiers on both sides have long been covering the final 10–20 kilometers to the front lines—the so-called “kill zone”— — mostly on foot, and are forced to carry all their gear, weapons, ammunition, and rations themselves. Any vehicle in this zone is immediately attacked by FPV drones.

But the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ infantry now travels light, carrying only personal small arms, while everything else—including heavy weapons—is delivered to them using “Baba Yaga” heavy drones. “Once they receive what they need, the soldiers make a rapid advance. And this advance is effective, since they didn’t have to haul all their gear for tens of kilometers <...> Now our assault teams can unexpectedly encounter a large-caliber machine gun or a well-equipped group with anti-tank weapons in places where previously there were only exhausted soldiers with assault rifles.”

Isolated efforts to deliver weapons to the front lines in this way have evolved into a full-fledged supply system, according to Z-bloggers. The use of heavy drones completely thwarts Russian forces’ attempts to isolate the front lines: “Shooting them down over enemy territory is significantly more difficult than over our own.”

The Russian army cannot replicate this tactic due to a lack of heavy drones. “Numerous reports speak of thousands of soulless porters. In reality… well, let’s hope for the best. There are simply no other options,” writes RT “military correspondent” Alexander Kharchenko. “We’re dropping our payloads with FPV drones. The difference is enormous,” notes another Z-channel (referring to the difference in payload weight that an FPV drone and a heavy-lift drone can carry).

Against this backdrop, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have advanced in the south of the Dnipropetrovsk region near four settlements. A total of 43 square kilometers have been liberated—by comparison, throughout the entire month of June, the Russian Armed Forces expanded their occupation of Ukrainian territory by 84 square kilometers along the entire front line. Thus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have come very close to fully liberating the Dnipropetrovsk region, notes military analyst Yan Matveev.
