According to the report, during interrogation, prisoners from among the Russian groups that infiltrated Pokrovsk said that it had taken them more than two weeks to cover the route from Selydove to Pokrovsk, having suffered heavy losses from drones along the way. Yurii Butusov published the interrogation video, according to the Military media outlet. Given the route the Russians took, they had to cover approximately 25 kilometers from the temporarily occupied Selydove to Pokrovsk. The interrogation of the prisoners captured by the 425th Separate Assault Regiment ‘Skala’ confirms information from DeepState analysts. According to the analysts, sabotage groups set out from Selydove to Pokrovsk in early July, and the entire journey took them 14 days. During this time, they spent 10 days covering the stretch from the village of Pishchane to the street of Zakhysnykiv Ukraiiny on the outskirts of Pokrovsk. Thus, each day, the enemy infantryman covered only 600 meters, hoping not to be detected. Communication, water, and food were supplied by drone drops, Military says. According to DeepState, 120 out of 150 saboteurs were killed along the way.


The report also said that the slow pace of advancement and the high losses of Russian assault saboteurs were caused by the extensive ‘kill zone’ that formed on both sides of the front line due to the very high concentration of drones. The ideology of the drone ‘kill zone’ is being implemented, in particular, through the development of the ‘Drone Line’ project. The main goal of the project is to develop the best unmanned systems units and scale their combat experience, so that they can become the backbone for weaker frontline units, the Military says.It’s important to understand that what is commonly referred to as a ‘kill zone’ is actually a zone of potential, not continuous destruction – it doesn’t mean that everything within it is annihilated. Nor does it imply that this is a gray zone. Both Russian and Ukrainian units are present in this area. However, due to the high saturation of strike capabilities, infantry can remain in position for months, showing minimal activity. Ukraine is forced to rely on the drone-based ‘kill zone’ as its primary method of defense due to several critical issues the state is currently unable to solve directly. Chief among them is a severe shortage of infantry on the frontlines, which cannot be replenished at the current pace of mobilization.
