Russia's 'Scorched Earth' Tactics in Bakhmut, Ukraine
TL;DR Summary
Russian ground troops are struggling to capture the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut due to lack of air support, but Russian aircraft, some flown by private military contractor Wagner, are being used sparingly and often at night to test Ukraine's defenses. Russian pilots are flying at night to avoid Ukrainian man-portable air-defense systems. Russia may also be probing to see if Ukraine still has enough radar-guided anti-aircraft missiles.
