They Come At Night. Ukrainian Troops Own The Night [1]

Kos recently mentioned how the Ukrainian counter-offensive is having to adjust to the Russians making use of their helicopters to make it difficult for the Ukrainians to clear mines and advance during the day time.

One of the ways the Ukrainians have adapted is by making excellent use of the night time optics that comes with their Western-supplied equipment. It would appear night time gives the Ukrainians the cover to do some serious fighting and advance towards the Russian lines.

David Axe of Forbes Magazine has an excellent article on the night time fighting by the Ukrainians. Give it a read, good stuff.
