On the southern front, Russian invading forces are using munitions with chemical agents just as they do in the northern sectors of the front, - Spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces Vladyslav Voloshyn. “The enemy also uses chemical weapons here almost daily. How and why they use this weapon — I’ll explain. When an assault begins, a plane delivers an airstrike with glide bombs on a position, while artillery strikes the same position, which has certain shelters and fortifications. This position is basically destroyed; nothing remains there. After that, the enemy launches their drones and first drops one or two chemical munitions to, basically, ‘smoke out’ our defenders still hiding on that position, and immediately follows with FPV drones and drop drones. Then the enemy activates electronic warfare (EW) to block our guys from using their drones, while they themselves use fiber-optic drones to cut off assistance and reinforcements coming to those positions,” Voloshyn explained.
