Russian Armored Vehicles Have Practically Disappeared From The Frontline

The expert revealed the reason why.

Russia has started using less artillery at the front not only because it is running out of supplies, but also against the background of active work of UAVs over the contact line.

Military observer Denis Popovich told about it on the air of Radio NV.

"Strike zones reach several dozens of kilometers. And in those kill zones, that armor simply cannot be assembled on a scale where you can break through the front and advance further. As it was in the era of classical mechanized warfare. So now armored vehicles are used more like a cab - load a troop in there, take it to some point and, if possible, go back. Yes, there are mechanized assaults on the front. But these are not the mechanized assaults that we saw at the beginning of the large-scale invasion," Popovich explained.

He added that the Russian Federation now actually does not use armored vehicles during assaults, but places key emphasis on drones and infantry. And although infantry can sometimes move on armored vehicles, but in most cases they use light wheeled vehicles. The expert also noted a decrease in the activity of Russian artillery on the front.

"Artillery is not used as extensively as it was at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Then the Russians were creating a rampart of fire, there was an artillery war in general. Artillery was very relevant in 2023-2024, and we remember our conversations about not having enough shells. But then came the era of drones, which began to gradually supplant artillery. They haven't replaced it completely, artillery is still used. But it is used in a 30/70 ratio in favor of drones," Popovich added.
