Commander of the “Bars-13” section. The Union of Donbas Volunteers (UDV) Sergei Fomchenkov answered the question of how the presence of Western high-precision artillery in the armed forces of Ukraine makes Ukrainian troops capable of a serious counteroffensive.
“This is not a panacea for them, not a miracle weapon”, – Fomchenkov said in an interview with the Ukraina.ru portal.
At the same time, he noted that this artillery causes some inconvenience to the allied forces and makes them more disciplined, while emphasizing that it does not solve the problem of counteroffensive by the Ukrainian forces.
Fomchenkov added that the volunteers are gradually learning to withstand Western artillery, and noted that the Russian air force is helping in the fight against it.
