On the Donetsk front, there are many battles and gunsmoke. According to the latest report of RIA Novosti, Russian intelligence agent Sergei has made a major discovery here. He observed that the battlefield was filled with a large number of people from different countries, including German, American, Czech, and Romanian fighters.
Striking was a large group of young female German snipers, roughly between the ages of 18 and 19, who were actively involved in the fierce battle.
Sergei gave us a detailed account of what he had witnessed: in a black SUV, these female German snipers sat upright, conversing fluently in German. Even though he could only partially understand German, he was impressed by the tension and concentration.
He confessed that in his military career, he had never seen so many German female soldiers assembled on the battlefield. This not only demonstrates the resilience and bravery of German women, but also reflects the complexity and international nature of the war. When we look at the Luhansk-Donetsk jungle and surrounding villages on the Russian-Ukrainian front, we see that the presence of snipers has become more common.
There are not only snipers of the Ukrainian army lurking in the shadows, but also snipers from the West, many of whom are women. These snipers are haunted like ghosts and pose a great threat to the enemy. However, the role of a sniper on the battlefield goes far beyond accurate shooting. They are also an important force in intelligence reconnaissance.
On the battlefield, they often need to act alone or in small groups, choosing high or other hidden positions as defensive strongholds. Through advanced electronic monitoring equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and long-range observation instruments, they conduct comprehensive monitoring of the surrounding area and provide critical intelligence support for subsequent military operations.
These snipers are carefully disguised when carrying out missions. They will dig out bunkers and blend themselves in with their surroundings. After putting on a special auspicious suit, they are like invisible cheetahs, quietly waiting for their prey to appear. However, as the number of shots increases, so does the risk of their exposure.
In response to this threat, the Russian army has adopted strict counter-sniper tactics. Once the sniper trail is found, regardless of gender, old and young, the Russian army will strike with a thunderous force. In order to effectively respond to the threat of snipers, the Russian army has adopted a variety of tactical means. They will fire mortar shells and smoke screens at the positions of suspected snipers to disorient and suppress the other side's line of sight.
At the same time, laying mines in suspicious areas is also one of their usual means, which can effectively deter the approach of snipers. In addition, the Russian army will also send armored vehicles to cover the infantry for search operations. Powerful fire on armored vehicles made it possible to deliver devastating strikes to the hiding places of snipers.
It is worth mentioning that in modern warfare, the role of the sniper is gradually changing. While they are still able to play a key role in certain situations, their role in large-scale battles is not as pronounced as it once was. Today, snipers are used more in special forces operations, urban street battles, and skirmishes.
In trench warfare on the Russian-Ukrainian front, the role of precision shooters has become even more critical. They use high-precision rifles and deliver precision strikes against targets at long distances. And the effective way to fight snipers has also shifted to the use of heavy weapons, such as 120-mm mortars.
Behind the scenes, countries are also trying to recruit more soldiers. In order to improve the morale of the army, Ukraine is constantly raising the salaries of its soldiers. According to the German news agency dpa, Ukrainian servicemen fighting on the front line receive an additional monthly allowance in addition to their basic salary.
This amount is expected to continue to rise in the near future, so that the monthly income of the Ukrainian army on the front line is expected to reach a considerable level. This undoubtedly gave those brave fighters greater motivation to defend their country and nation.
However, the war has not only had a profound impact on Ukraine and Russia, but has also posed a challenge for NATO as a whole. The Russian army is actually conducting a kind of "demilitarization" of NATO. Through precision strikes and tactical use, they are constantly depleting NATO's elite fighters and non-commissioned officers.
These fighters from different countries originally came to the Donbas region to fight with great enthusiasm, but most of them eventually suffered losses. At the same time, many small NATO countries have exhausted most of their weapons and equipment in the process of providing military assistance to Ukraine. Even Germany, which is relatively militarily strong, has to face a situation of inventory shortage.
In order to continue to support the Ukrainian resistance, Germany had to temporarily place orders from the United States and other countries to buy weapons and equipment, such as Patriot missiles and Hippocampus rocket launchers. This phenomenon highlights NATO's inadequacies in military equipment reserves and strategic planning.
In fact, there are very few countries in NATO that really have strong combat effectiveness. The United States and Turkey, as NATO's military powers, play an important role in the war. However, at present, the US military is not directly involved in the war, and Turkey has also chosen a wait-and-see attitude. As for the other members of NATO, their ground combat forces are relatively weak and difficult to play a decisive role in the war.
European countries generally maintain high-welfare social systems, mainly due to factors such as reducing military investments, relying on the protection of the US military, importing cheap energy and resources, and having a stable sales market. However, this high-welfare social system also made European countries more militarily vulnerable.
Except for the United States and Turkey, almost no other NATO country has been able to draw a full mobile division into the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. This makes NATO seem incapable of dealing with conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war.
At the same time, Russia has fully transitioned to a wartime industrial system, supported by countries such as North Korea, Iran, and India. Against this background, it is clear that NATO's mobile forces will not be able to withstand constant attrition.
According to the latest war report of the Russian Ministry of Defense, in the recent period alone, the Ukrainian army has suffered heavy losses on various battlefields, including the death of a large number of soldiers and the destruction of numerous weapons and equipment. Such a result has undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure and challenges to NATO.
To sum up, the Russia-Ukraine war has had a profound impact on the global military landscape. It not only reveals NATO's shortcomings in military equipment and strategic planning, but also highlights the military vulnerability of European countries under the high-welfare social system. At the same time, Russia has taken an advantageous position in this war through the effective use of tactics and external support.
In the face of such a complex international situation, all countries need to re-examine their military strategies and national defense construction in order to cope with various challenges that may arise in the future.
