British intelligence reported, because of which weapons the Russian army suffered huge losses near Ugledar
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation insistently sought to achieve success in the area of Ugledar in order to compete with the achievements of the terrorist PMC «Wagner». This is stated in the intelligence report of the UK Department of Defense.
According to intelligence, over the past week, the invaders' attempts to storm Vugledar have almost certainly slowed down. This comes after repeated, very costly, failed attacks over the previous three months.
One of the reasons for Russia's heavy losses in this sector is intelligence citing Ukraine's use of Remotely Controlled Anti-tank Mine (RAAM) systems. This is a special artillery shell that scatters anti-tank mines at a distance of up to 17 km from the launcher.
The indicated shells mined the area not only in front of the advancing Russian armored vehicles, but also behind it, which led to additional losses during the retreat.
In addition, it was noted that the only last noticeable tactical success of Russia was achieved in the Bakhmut direction, dominated by the forces of PMC «Wagner», who are now in a public feud with the Russian Ministry of Defense.
«There is a real possibility that the Russian Ministry of Defense is persistently making progress in Vugledar, in part because it wants its own successes to compete with those of «Wagner», — ; summary says.
