As Gorbatyuk noted, at the time of the operation the task seemed adventurous and provocative to him.
— My artillerymen did not like it, because it was an unconventional and non-standard use of artillery forces and means, to put it mildly… Hunter's proposal to move artillery forces and assets closer to the line of contact (it was directly the so-called gray zone, even behind the front line of contact) — it was quite adventurous. Adventurous in the sense that, according to all governing documents, artillery is used no closer than 5 km to the front line, — he explains.
Brigadier General Hunter says that “world history has not yet seen heavy 152mm artillery conduct sabotage raids” and notes that this is simply not a function of these tools.
