Dude, I know you build literal castles with 1 foot thick walls, but the 125 mm high explosive shell is an angry fist of god:
That's 9MJ of kinetic energy pummeling the wall, before the 5kg of TNT equivalent does its job.
The thing is the amount of concrete in a so called "commie block"
Those buildings have tons of concrete and are supported in almost every part of the building
Look at any donbass battle, and T-Series are opting for cumulative AT loads of 125mm to penetrate the building before switching to HE once the concrete has been penetrated
The problem with that is once a hole is put into the building, you have to put more in to expose the foundation, which creates advantages for defenders, namely spider holes to shoot ATGM and sniper fire from
Not only that but the amount of ammo expended from a tank to take down these buildings is insane
So the FAB is the main ticket to just knocking the fucker down
The key is not to expend FAB liberally, I mean if you can then by all means
But the key is to take down the buildings which provide flanking fire positions for enemy defenders
And therefor isolating the remaining defenders in a lower height building, while friendly guys can fire at the isolated defense from enfilade positions in taller buildings,
That was the staple of Avdeevka it seems, as the tactics of Mariupol and Bakhmut have become nearly refined and perfected
I'm sure Chasov Yar will be Assault 3.0 because we have nearly perfected urban assault tactics now
I think what is useful will be PBK-500U Drel bombs
Although they are expensive, they could be key to opting for Accuracy in taking down select buildings, instead of expending FAB on leveling the entire apartment blocks
Anyway, the experimentation has led to what we see, speed and aggression in a focused channel, in this case the railway junction and then the auto dealer
They focused the assault in one narrow sector, and FAB cleared their path for them
Anyway give credit where credit is due, 115th spetsnaz are Wagner guys
