Auto-translated from Ukrainian:

A short story about yet another of the million factors (or, more precisely, a combination of several circumstances) that affect the battles near Pokrovsk. Also about how important it is to have a full range of weapons in the required quantities to solve all the problems that are raining down on our heads. 1/

The Russians' possession of a large number of heavy aerial bombs, missiles, and drones allows them to gradually erode our advantage, which we hold while defending within the confines of large industrial facilities and dense urban development, in contrast to the enemy, who is forced to advance, at best, through a network of tree lines and ravines. 2/

As soon as the enemy identifies the location of infantry or drone crews in built-up areas, bombs immediately fly there in such quantities that they either destroy us or make operations in such places impossible, combined with measures to cut off logistics. Therefore, sometimes the decision to try to "get lost" and camouflage in forest strips at least for a season of "greenery" seems like a solution for many. 3/

In contrast, when the Russians take control of some industrial facility (a coke plant, a mine, etc.), it becomes an almost unconditional advantage for them. We lack the quantity of aviation bombs and aircraft that could drop them on the enemy’s heads 24/7, wherever they might be, and not fear to compensate for inaccuracy with volume and density. This, on the contrary, makes it very convenient for the Russians to take cover on industrial facilities and in areas of dense urban development. 4/
