British mercenary impressed by the work of Russian artillery

9

British mercenary Christopher Perryman, who is part of the international legion on the Kherson sector of the front, described the work of Russian artillery as impressive and awe-inspiring. An interview with a soldier of fortune was published by the British tabloid Express.


According to the militant, the Ukrainian army is sorely lacking in high-quality weapons, so the artillery of the RF Armed Forces is freely working on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Every day the artillery attacks are becoming more intense, the fire of Russian howitzers sometimes does not allow you to raise your head from the trench.

There is nothing worse than hearing artillery fire and then sitting and listening to the whistle of a shell to find out how close to your position it will fall.

Perryman said.

Express specifies that the 38-year-old soldier has 16 years of experience in the regular units of the Royal Army. But the realities of the Ukrainian conflict lower the morale of even such experienced fighters. Christopher expressed hope that Western allies will be able to send new air defense systems and high-quality small arms to Ukraine to effectively counter Russian attacks.

Meanwhile, detachments of foreign mercenaries continue to suffer losses along with Ukrainians in all parts of the NVO zone. Public social networks regularly report the death of soldiers of fortune from the UK, Poland and the Baltic countries in Artemovsk and Soledar.

    The right decision, with the beginning of summer, to create an emphasis on artillery impact. Only the decision in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was not worked out to the end and hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition were wasted without adjusting the fire, turning empty fields into a lunar landscape. Today they realized it, and as an example of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they began to adjust artillery from drones. Due to such blunders, it seems that the wrong people are sitting in our main headquarters, who do not even have approximately the necessary traits and abilities, but probably iconic saints and hangers-on. As they say, what is the boss, such is the whole service.

      Whoever reads the telegram channels of people who are directly at the front is aware that we have shell hunger. It’s not for nothing that dozens of videos appear, of how tanks are hammering instead of artillery from closed positions or, at the risk of running into an ATGM, they go to process the positions of the forelocks. Because there are still a lot of tank shells.

    Unfortunately, this is not the case.
    Artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has only a quantitative advantage. For example, to destroy a platoon stronghold of the Russian Federation, half a car of shells is required, while for Ukrainian artillery, a dozen shells are needed. It's about accuracy and intelligence. APUs use data from the satellite that is instantly transmitted by Starlink to the gun. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation use the PUO-9U device, the topographic map M: 50, maybe (maybe!) The computer of the 000V1 machine. Art reconnaissance is represented by binoculars B-16, LPR-6 and that's it. UAVs are a rarity!
    We have all seen the fields dotted with funnels.

    You forgot about the firing tables, the slide rule (in my time, even using a calculator was considered a big fe, although now in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, tablets and laptops are considered bad manners !!!! and yesterday), an artillery quantum 1d11 rangefinder and a notebook with a pen for recording calculations for shooting, plus TA57 for a request for weather, etc. in radio silence mode, etc.. And 1V16 is attached at best to a division and even then rarely, and a battery or a firing platoon usually manages with its own means when outside it.

    Now is the time for the Russian Armed Forces to work out various issues in the context of the work of all NATO intelligence capabilities. Especially logistics needs new approaches. Something can be adopted from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but we also need our own solutions. The placement of warehouses, in general, the entire supply system, will not be able to work as before in a military conflict with NATO. All warehouses, practically on the entire territory of the Russian Federation, will be identified and attacked. Warehouses supplying the front will also be quickly destroyed. Any concentration of anything, ammunition, troops, equipment, will be quickly identified and attacked.

    Hence the need to develop new approaches. There may be solutions such as placing part of the ammunition for the front (for example, a day ammo) on civilian and military trucks, trucks, and in general any vehicle that can be partially in motion at a certain distance from the front, using available roads, randomly parking here, then there at your discretion. Each unit of transport by itself, until the moment of demand by radio or in another way.

    A little further in the rear, crushing warehouses into many small ones and placing them in any available civilian premises, garages, houses, etc. Here you have to rely on the civilian population. All this should function without the use of digital technologies for data transmission. Everything is on paper. On the scale of even a single division, such a dispersal of logistics is an incredibly difficult task, especially if everything is in motion.

    Production of trailers-platforms for the transportation of goods of the cheapest possible type. Such trailers can be delivered to the front and then the recipient himself is directly involved in the trailer (for example, artillery shells). The bottom line is that the cargo does not need to be unloaded, the trailer after delivery remains with the part until it is empty. Empty trailers can be taken out to the rear after the arrival of a new one. Perhaps something like a "train", where a truck pulls several trailers, scattering them among the recipients. Less supply from warehouses, more, if possible, mobile food outlets.

    Another aspect is the camouflage of equipment and personnel. It is obvious that the topic "cloak" should be developed on an industrial scale. Troops should receive a wide variety of camouflage products, especially with regard to reducing the thermal signature and protection from other types of NATO intelligence. From individual capes-robes for each fighter, to a variety of products that allow you to quickly hide various equipment, disguise from visual, thermal and all other types of intelligence. The troops must be oversaturated with these products.

    Much can be worked out now, under the hood of NATO intelligence and UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

      I completely agree.
      + false targets.

      Including - dispersal, camouflage and shelter of aircraft and ships (including nuclear submarines).
      The adversary is counted by the pictures at the bases by all our strategists one by one and by name.
      From my t.z. - the wildest cant, not attributed to the lack of modern electronics.

    Yes .
    Peremoga.
    It is not clear whether it is written that way on purpose. The idea is straight forward - they shoot a lot, but everything is past ....
