Assaulting Fortified Enemy Positions in Tree Lines

Assaulting Fortified Enemy Positions in Tree Lines

The terrain found in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, characterized by vast fields, rolling hills, and narrow tree lines, presents unique challenges. Tree lines are often utilized by defenders for concealment and protection against aerial surveillance and artillery shrapnel.

1. Use Vehicles:
Vehicles play a crucial role, their objective is twofold: to transport the assaulting squad closer to the tree line and to provide suppressive fire while the squad clears the tree line.

2. Use of Drones:
The use of drones proves invaluable for reconnaissance and target tracking phases of the assault, relaying real-time information and a comprehensive battlefield overview to ground units.

3. Infantry:
The infantry constitutes the backbone of any successful assault, their job is to take control of the tree line.
