Russian artillery preparation before infantry attacks. Artillery fire has always been the backbone of Russian firepower.
Although drones play a significant role on the battlefield, they are mainly used for point targets and are powerless against area targets. It is unrealistic to expect drones to destroy enemy fortifications, trenches, and shelters. Only artillery fire and heavy bombs from air forces can achieve this.
Even the Ukrainian army said that their positions in Zaporozhye were subjected to fierce artillery attacks by the Russian eastern group, and almost all shelters and fortifications were destroyed, making it impossible to hold the line.
Therefore, everyone should not be misled by online videos showing drones attacking vehicles and personnel, leading to the belief that drones are the decisive weapon on the battlefield. In fact, traditional artillery remains the "king of firepower" on the ground. Especially with the support of drones and information systems, the response speed and accuracy of artillery fire have vastly improved compared to the past.
