[REGNUM] Another video of the combat work of artillerymen of the Russian Armed Forces showed the words of a veteran of the Iraqi war, mercenary Christopher Perryman , who said that he had to fight "more intensely" in Ukraine than in Iraq. The footage was published in the Telegram channel "Military correspondents of the Russian Spring." "All units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that have set foot on the territory near the Dnieper come under continuous artillery fire, as Russian drones are constantly reconnaissance of the area," the military correspondents comment on the video, in which Russian artillery shells explode every second in different directions. As REGNUM reported, according to a mercenary who is participating in the battles for the islands along the Dnieper near Kherson, Russian drones "buzz overhead like giant swamp mosquitoes." Ukrainian positions are under fire when trying to occupy the islands. "Their artillery crews are damn good. Iraq does not compare to this, it is much more stressful here," Perryman admitted. The mercenary called his stay in Ukraine one of the most difficult missions. The sorties take place in difficult conditions, because of the shelling from the Russian Armed Forces, you have to be on the alert all the time. The artillery sometimes fires "100 rounds a day," he said. Earlier, Perryman also spoke about the quality work of Russian artillery and complained that the Ukrainian military needs more air defense systems and high-quality small arms. |
