According to the military, the war changed after the large-scale invasion.
The commander of the 93rd separate mechanized brigade “Kholodny Yar” with the call sign “Denchik” said that in 2014 he served as a gunner-operator of a BMP-2 and was based in Debaltsevo.
After the full-scale invasion began, he took advanced training courses. He became a squadron commander and now Denis is a company commander.
“I had one task as a gunner: just set a target, I went, fired, checked the equipment, everything, and now instead of one infantry fighting vehicle I have ten, instead of a squadron, ten people, I have 113. I am responsible for everyone “to them, to their parents, to their relatives, so that everyone returns home safe and sound,” the soldier told Suspilny.
According to him, the war changed after the large-scale invasion.
“War is not the same as before. If before we were dealing with infantry, now our biggest problem is unmanned aerial vehicles, and even airdrops are not the same,” he explained.
The defender claims that it is easier for him to assault.
“Attack: you come in, you get the task, you back off, you rest, and in defense, you stand firm, nobody knows when the replacement will be,” the fighter explained.
The war in Ukraine: the opinion of the defenders.
Nachtigal Battalion soldier Igor Sholtis (call sign Harry Schultz) talked about how he treats people in the rear and what he thinks about conflicts between civilians and the military.
