Russians in Bakhmut use smartphones with AlpineQuest GPS application, which contains coordinates of Ukrainian positions, - Syrsky
The commanders of the Russian assault groups in Bakhmut use smartphones with special software "Alpine Quest GPS".
Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrsky told about this in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine, Censor.NET informs.
"Commanders of assault groups use smartphones with special AlpineQuest GPS software, which shows the coordinates of the positions of our fire equipment, attack targets, advance routes to them, as well as the tasks of neighboring units," said Syrsky.
According to him, in each Russian brigade, based on motorized rifle companies, reinforced by tanks, flamethrowers, mortar, and anti-tank units, separate "Storm" assault units were formed, designed to restore lost positions.
"To create favorable conditions for conducting assault operations, the enemy actively uses tank and artillery units (including from closed firing positions), inflicts heavy fire damage on our troops, and destroys the positions, after which the assault units go on the attack.
During assault operations, a UAV must be used, thanks to which the enemy adjusts artillery fire, and the group commander has the opportunity to effectively manage subordinate personnel," said Syrsky.
In urban conditions, he noted, the enemy uses long-term artillery barrages to fire at the object of attack. "A group of up to 10 people with small arms directly storms the object of the attack. Combat equipment is used extremely rarely. Usually, an attack is carried out in three or four "waves". The losses of the assault group are promptly replenished by the evacuation group from the distribution points," the general said.
