More Maneuvers: Western experts have named the means for breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Russian Defense

Viewer John Ferrari noted that in the Ukrainian army it is necessary to create armored divisions, which consist of brigades of tanks and BMP, artillery brigade, crews of logistics, as well as engineering units and air defense. The war in Ukraine came into a dead end and went into the battle phase for exhaustion on the First World War. One reason is that the Western allies did not provide enough means to wage maneuver war. This opinion was expressed by military observer John Ferrari in Defense News.

"In order to wage this war, Ukraine must be able to shoot, move and communicate. Despite the lack of ammunition, NATO provides Ukraine with the opportunity to shoot, even if there are more and more projectiles and missiles with the cost of costs," the expert writes. According to him, Ukrainian troops are well -equipped with means of communication - the same Starlink. However, what is missing is enough mobile means for fast military maneuvers.

Ferrari cites an example of the US Army that has formations such as armored divisions. They consist of three to four maneuvered brigades of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, artillery brigade, logistics team and another brigade of other means of providing engineering, signaling and air defense. The expert concludes that the Ukrainian army also needs similar connections, but it will take a long time to create them.

And even if the US Congress allocates the funding requested by President Joe Biden, the transfer of the necessary equipment and the creation of such divisions will take several years. "To put it more specifically, the army must transfer to Ukraine equipment in the number of one division. The number of equipment in the division is not some arbitrary figure.

It is directly related to the current number of the army, which is difficult to maintain a structure because it is experiencing one From the most difficult crises of mobilization, " - said Ferrari, hinting at the lack of personnel in the Armed Forces. Finally, the expert stressed that for the future success of the Ukrainian counter -offensive, the United States should transfer weapons and equipment worth in one division.
