The point of non -return is traveled: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation does not remain armored vehicles for assault except "Zhiguli" - Forbes
Last fall, the first Russian assault groups moved to Zhiguli and went to virtually suicide attacks by a neutral strip in eastern Ukraine, which is patrolled by drones. At that time, it seemed with single cases in units that lacked vehicles. Now - for the loss of armored vehicles and other heavy equipment, which now exceeds 15,000 - attacks on "Zhiguli" are becoming more common.
"I think this assault" Lada "now became the norm?" Said Moklasen Osint analyst, examining the next video of Ukrainian drones. Andrew perpetua, another analyst, is also surprised. "The time of assault," he wrote. "Everyone on" Lada ". " Ladi "and more powerful" fields "began to appear in large quantities among Russian assault units against the backdrop of exhaustion of equipment reserves. Russia produces about 200 new BMPs annually.
-3 and 90 new T-90m tanks, as well as several hundred other armored vehicles, including wheel BTR-82 combat vehicles. Obsolete cars, which have been filmed from the Cold War, have once stored in the warehouses of old tanks and other armored vehicles. There is a total of 2358 BTR-60/70/80 out of 3673, which were stored before the war, "said Jompy in December. He added.
For such an estimate used satellite images of the 1063th logistics center in Saigraevo, not far from the border with Mongolia, and additional images of fleet in the Russian excavator Kaliningrad, as well as Smolino, west of Moscow. It turned out that no vehicle in Saigraevo has moved from its place since 2020. Those in Kaliningrad have been stationary since 2018. Transport to Saigraevo has not moved to an inch since 2010.
"A vehicle that does not move for so long, is a dead vehicle," Jompy explained. "And if you do not believe me, you probably saw what happened to abandoned civilian cars for only a few years outdoors. " During the months, the observers have argued whether the Russian armed forces would reach the critical point when the efforts to create vehicles would be nullified and when it happened. The mass appearance of "Lada" during the storms is a clear sign that the point of non -return is passed.
Every day, while the war of the Russian Federation with Ukraine is ongoing, the Russians will have less armored vehicles, and they will be increasingly relying on civilian vehicles for troops. Recall that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation want to form a "boiler" for 1200 sq. m "from Pokrovsk to the time ravine". It was also reported that the military explained where they want to reach the Armed Forces by the end of February, and where they are trying to develop the offensive.
