An interview with colonel Oleh Faydyuk, Commander of the 45th Separate Artillery Brigade.

(I): What should be the minimum target for you to open fire on it? How many people, what type of fortification, and what kind of equipment?


(O): It all depends on the situation. You may need to open fire on three people, for example, if they are UAV operators.

There is no need to spare shells for “worms”, as Magyar calls them, because they will do more damage if left. That is, there is no “less than 10 people – we do not open fire” policy.


For example, in Soledar, the Wagner PMC developed a tactic of acting in small groups without equipment so that we would not use artillery against them. That is, 3-5 people with shovels go to “bury themselves”, and assault groups immediately join them, and so they gradually move forward. There is no classical offensive – columns, companies, platoons with equipment – in our area.
