Ukrainian special forces commander says Russia doesn't like waging war at night, so his troops need gear to fight in the dark

Russian President Vladimir Putin's troops don't like fighting in the dark, according to a Ukrainian commander.

In an episode of the "War on the Rocks", the commander of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine said his troops needed gear.

Russian forces don't conduct combat operations at night when dealing with us, according to Khorenko. We should fill that gap

The United States and other Western nations have given billions of dollars in weapons and resources to the Ukrainians.

Night vision devices from the West could be used to increase the capabilities of Ukrainian troops.

We need all the necessary materials, like night vision devices and other things, to act at night more efficiently.

The commander said that since the beginning of the Kremlin's unprovoked war, "we have seen how technologically drones prevail over the battlefield, and we have to develop that capability and to get some help from the West and our partners."

He said that the only way to win this fight was to act with higher quality.

In order to win this war, we need to be technologically advanced.

Thousands of Russians have been deployed to the battlefield in recent weeks as Moscow has suffered a lot of setbacks in the war.

The winter months are expected to bring a change in conflict conditions for both Russian and Ukrainian troops.

The UK's Ministry of Defense said in a daily intelligence update that changing to daylight hours, temperature and weather will pose unique challenges for soldiers.

The UK's Ministry of Defense said there will be fewer offensives and more static defensive frontlines as daylight shrinks.

The willingness to fight at night is worsened by the fact that night vision capability is a valuable commodity.
