A Ukrainian commander said that regardless of how many times his unit hits enemy targets on a key battlefront, Russian forces are always being resupplied.
Tymur, a commander in Ukraine’s 11th National Guard Brigade, told the BBC that his unit is using drones to target Russian positions across the Dnipro River from the city of Kherson, per the outlet.
But “no matter how many times we hit the same places, [the Russians] are constantly replenished,” he said.
At the same time, Ukranian drone attacks have proven increasingly vulnerable to Russia’s jamming systems, according to the BBC.
A three-drone crossing observed by the outlet left two drones disabled, with only one making it to the other side of the river.
Ukraine’s forces on the east bank of the Dnipro River have been using first-person view drones loaded with munitions to strike Russian vehicles, the UK Ministry of Defence reported earlier this month.
At the time, the UK MOD said that Russia was unable to counter the Ukrainian drone attacks, likely because of a shortage of Russian electronic warfare capability in the area.
However, this no longer seems to be the case, per the BBC.
The latest news comes on top of other struggles reported by Ukrainian soldiers on the left bank of the river, including being heavily outnumbered, difficulties transporting equipment across the river, and a lack of training among some soldiers.
On Sunday, the Institute for the Study of War said that Ukrainian and Russian forces continued “positional” fighting on the east bank of the river, with no confirmed change to the front lines.
