Slow Counter -Offset of the Armed Forces: The British Military List of Errors (Video)
Some details of the Armed Forces counter -offensive in the summer of 2023 were told by the UK Army Colonel Glen Grant (retired) in an interview with the portal "We - Ukraine". According to the British colonel, the main reason for failure is the lack of shells for artillery, as well as mortars and mortars. Another reason is the advantage in drones that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Thanks to this, the Russians "see" any movement of the Ukrainian military at a distance of up to 30 km from the front line. "This is extremely complicated by movement and any work. Of course, not just move from a trench to a trench or hide behind trees," Grant said. In addition, a powerful displacement and deep trenches built by the Russian military were hindered by the interlocutor of journalists.
To all, the Ukrainian command did not listen to the recommendations of Western partners and attacked one just formed 47 of the Armed Forces brigade. While partners suggested "collect 6-7 brigades in one place. " The colonel also noted that successes could be more noticeable due to the improved training of Ukrainian fighters. "In most cases, the crucial factor for us is the quality of the person, not equipment or something.
Colonel Grant noted another problem that he sees now on the eastern front of the front in Ukraine. In his opinion, there were not enough fortifications here, the fighters have no cover from the air and lacks drones, the British military stressed. "Why no defense was built in the eastern direction in new places. It should be noted that in the fall of 2023, Western media published articles that analyzed Ukrainian offensive actions in the summer and in the fall of 2023.
According to estimates, the Armed Forces have gained minor success due to insufficient weapons, which were obliged to provide partners from the Anti -Putin Coalition. In addition, it was not possible to establish support from the air. In particular, the fighter-giving coalition was formed only in the second half of the summer, and the first squadron will be arrived, perhaps by the end of 2023 at the beginning of 2024.
At the same time, analysts note the promotion of defense forces on the Left Bank of Kherson region. There are several bridgeheads here, one of which is near the crusts 15 km southwest of New Kakhovka. The Russian command tries to knock out Ukrainians from there: it uses a new tactic, but continues to lose live power and equipment. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military regularly publish a video with examples of strikes on the troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the Left Bank.
In particular, within a few weeks, three installations of the Tos-1A Solnicecoc has been destroyed. During one of the Russian outputs, with the help of FPV-aroma, it was possible to eliminate the column of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. We would like to remind you that on December 24, the military observer explained that the Russian command failed to achieve any success in the attempts to knock the Armed Forces from the Left Bank Startarm.
