DONETSK, March 15 – RIA Novosti. The suburb of Donetsk – the village of Marinka – is difficult to take, because Ukrainian militants have erected concrete fortifications there over many years of preparation, which can only be destroyed by particularly heavy weapons, the commander said. of the division of the 381st artillery regiment journalists. Maryinka is a southwestern suburb of Donetsk, bloody battles are fought in the village. It is from here that shelling of the capital of the DPR is regularly carried out. “The enemy is very well fortified, for many years it has been building its defenses there. Therefore, it is difficult for the infantry to advance. They take house by house, heavy battles, to be honest, are going on. They are trying to act carefully so that there are fewer casualties on our side, ”the commander said. According to him, the enemy has equipped concrete bunkers in Marinka, which are difficult to storm – they cannot be destroyed only with a self-propelled mortar “Tulip”. “And the bunkers too, very good fortifications, filled with concrete. Therefore, the advance is difficult. Of course, we have different means for this, even the 240 mm Tulip mortar is used. If he hits, there is hardly anything left of the bunker. We are armed with Tulip, Hyacinth and 2S19 (Msta). Various systems,” the officer said. “Tulip” – a “fairly accurate” weapon, the second or third time you can hit the target, he added. Fire adjustment is carried out using drones. The enemy, in turn, tries to disable the drones, to force them to land. It’s still hard to predict when Marinka will be completely taken, he admitted: “It’s hard to say, only half of Maryinka has passed. There are heavy battles ahead.” Also, according to intelligence, in the town of Kurakhovo outside of Maryinka, Ukrainian security forces are building the next line of defense and concentrating their forces for a possible counterattack, the gunner said. He also refuted Ukrainian propaganda reports that there was a shortage of shells in Russian artillery units. “Of course, I would like to provide more, but, in principle, there is enough. The work is done constantly, continuously. If there were more, it would be better – more targets would be hit”, explained the army.
