The New York Times published an article that talks about the serious difficulties faced by the Ukrainian military in ensuring effective communication at the front. According to the newspaper, these problems complicate coordination between different units and can affect the operational efficiency of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Effective communication has also become a problem for Ukraine. When units from different brigades are sent in to help fill gaps in the front, a breakdown can occur,” the NYT writes.
The publication cites the words of a junior sergeant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who operates drones, saying that when he uses a thermal imager to record the movement of Russian soldiers, he cannot see the uniform or insignia of the military, and therefore he must contact his superior to prevent attack on the troops of the Armed Forces, and therefore, on its part, it is necessary to contact the commander of another battalion to find out whether there are no soldiers of the Armed Forces at a certain location. "The time required to receive feedback is 'not a luxury the military can afford,'" the New York Times emphasized.
Due to the destruction and reduction of the rear services, coordination, fortification and rear support in Ukraine suffered significantly, interaction between the branches of the military was greatly requested. And because of this, whole directions begin to "fall" at the front, and the lack of junior command staff leads to cranial problems.
