All the Black Sea Fleet will soon be in reaching the Armed Forces missiles - US Army General

Approaching the Crimea, our military will be able to beat Himars rockets across Sevastopol. The entire Russian Black Sea Fleet, which is now hiding behind the peninsula, will be in a disadvantageous position for defense. Given the failure of the Russian army as on earth, and at sea, the Russian Black Sea Fleet was a futile spending of cash. Such a statement was made by Ben Hodges, a former commander of US troops in Europe. New Debate has introduced a new episode within the Renew Democracy Project.

According to Hodges, by February 24, the Russian Navy controlled almost all the Black Sea. "This fact was not denied, they had winged missiles -" calibers ". But in the last half a year we realized that the Russian fleet was not better than the Russian army," the expert said. The flooding of the Moscow missile cruiser, the cost of which was estimated at $ 750 million, attracted attention.

But after that, other ships were drowning, the whole fleet had to hide behind the Crimean peninsula, now Russian ships are afraid to go near the Ukrainian coastline. At the same time, Ukraine does not even have its fleet. "It was an asymmetrical response of Ukraine: with the help of" Neptunes "," Harpons ", other weapons and drones managed to drive Russian ships from the Ukrainian coast," the military researcher explained.

"The Great Black Sea Fleet, except for their submarines, is in vain expenses. He did not participate in the fighting," he said. "As the Ukrainian forces approached Crimea, they will be able to launch Himars missiles and other missiles on Sevastopol, And the Russian Black Sea Fleet will be in a disadvantageous position for defense. " "The impact of sanctions in this conflict begins to affect.

We know that Russians cannot replenish accurate weapons because they do not have components for missile production. They try to replace them with outdated technologies in their high -precision missiles," Hodges said. Hodges also noted that Russia seeks help to North Korea. The so -called second army in the world buys artillery shells in North Korea, which does not show Russian MIC or logistics on the best side.

"Over the next 2-3 months, due to the influence of sanctions on the Russian population and losses on the battlefield, the degree of negative emotions in the Kremlin will increase significantly," Hodges said. "We are between the Kremlin and the western capitals: Washington, London, Berlin, Paris, Rome - all the capitals of Western Europe. If the sanctions are preserved, and we will continue to supply everything that promised Ukraine, the victory of Ukraine is inevitable," he said.

It should be reminded that the head of Lugansk Ova stated that a heavy struggle is waiting for every centimeter of Lugansk land. The Russian forces are preparing for defense, so it will not work for the front march. At the same time, there are already the first successes in the Lugansk direction - Bigorivka was released. Earlier, Focus reported that Putin was driven into a corner and forced to think about survival.
