British intelligence finds out what new weapon type helps AFU to push Russia back from Vuhledar

The British Ministry of Defence wrote about this in its daily report on Twitter.

British military intelligence has noted that Russian attempts to assault Vuhledar in the Donetsk Oblast have almost certainly slowed over the last week. This follows repeated, extremely costly failed attacks over the previous three months.

One of the factors behind Russia's heavy losses in this sector was Ukraine's successful adoption of RAAM (Remote Anti-Armour Mine systems). RAAM is a special artillery projectile that scatters anti-armour mines up to 17 kilometers away. In some cases, Ukraine has launched the mines behind advancing Russian units, causing confusion as Russian vehicles attempt to withdraw.

"Russia's only notable recent tactical success has been in the Bakhmut sector, which is dominated by Wagner Group mercenary forces, currently engaged in a public feud with the Russian Ministry of Defense. There is a realistic possibility that Russia’s MoD has been persistent in its drive for success in Vuhledar, partially because it wants its own success to compete with Wagner's achievements," the British intelligence suggested.

• On March 10, ISW reported that Russian troops are preparing to resume offensive operations around Vuhledar, although ongoing problems with personnel and ammunition are likely to continue to deter them from advancing.
