Russian troops inflict heavy strikes on Ukrainian units in Vuhledar. According to journalist and military expert Yuri Podolyaka, the Russian army uses “Malka” and “Pion” self-propelled artillery mounts of 203 mm caliber in this direction.
“Rage” our artillery and air force. They beat with a large caliber, so high-rise buildings began to take shape
– said the blogger.
Russian troops have been storming Ugledar for the past two months. However, the Russian army has not yet managed to achieve serious successes in this direction. The defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this section of the line of contact is quite strong. Storming the city at the front can lead to heavy casualties.
In this regard, reports on the use of large-caliber artillery seem quite logical. Self-propelled guns “Malka” and “Peony” have proven their effectiveness in “analyzing” the line of defense in depth. In addition, according to Yuriy Podolyaka, the Russian army uses Tulip 240 mm caliber heavy mortars during the assault on Vuhledar.
At the same time, messages about the work of the Russian Aerospace Forces are coming. In particular, according to Yuriy Podolyaka, Russian planes hit the positions of the Ukrainian army in Vuhledar. The use of X-59 missiles is reported.
According to military correspondents, the massive use of artillery and large-caliber aviation could be evidence of the start of a large-scale offensive by Russian troops.
The command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has been saying for several months that the Russian army is preparing a large-scale offensive operation. However, the Russian General Staff did not confirm this information.
