“Without Hesitation, Ukraine Goes Toe to Toe With Russia in Bakhmut”
“Earlier in the war, Ukraine’s leadership was more equivocal about pitched battles with high casualties. There’s no second-guessing this time. Some analysts say it makes sense strategically.”
“It was midmorning last Friday when the camera of a Ukrainian drone zoomed in on a Russian soldier moving furtively among trees on the edge of town. Another enemy assault was underway in Bakhmut.
The drone pilot marked coordinates as he watched, then sent them by satellite link to artillery commanders.
Within a few minutes, Ukrainian artillery units struck the houses where they had seen the Russians taking cover. Smoke from the hits could be seen rising silently on the drone operator’s screen.”
I’d post an archived version, but queue is very long to wait for it.
Within a few minutes, Ukrainian artillery units struck the houses where they had seen the Russians taking cover.
This is made possible by drones providing accurate GPS coordinates in "real-time" and UKR proficiency using western artillery to deliver "on target"...even with troops in contact in an urban environment.
One shot one kill.
