The expert revealed the enemy's tactics trying to capture Toretsk.


The city of Toretsk is in a terrible state after countless destructions caused by Russian occupiers. FPV drones are used to carry out strikes that cause damage to almost all houses. The enemy uses a scorched earth tactic, destroying urban development to force Ukrainian forces to retreat. Ukrainian defense forces lack effective protection against aircraft carriers of guided aerial bombs, giving the Russians the opportunity to continue their destructive actions. With the help of F-16s and other planes, the Ukrainian military tries to influence Russian airfields, but this is not an effective enough solution. The front line in Toretsk is complex and ambiguous due to constant changes in building ownership and using urban communications to penetrate the enemy's rear. This tactic has already been used in other cities, such as Avdiivka and Vovchansk.
