Russia has become a "alpha-boat" on the battlefield due to a lack of shells in Ukraine-the media

Ukraine can usually use artillery, which allows infantry to attack and resist Russia. But the current shortage of shells means that the Ukrainian military cannot do it, the media reports. Ammunition deficiency in Ukraine, which has become noticeable after stopping US assistance, allows Russia to be an "Alfa-Prosie on the Battle Field". This opinion was expressed by the American veteran and assault instructor in the 3 OSHBR with the call sign "Jackie", writes Business Insider portal.

Western experts and scouts believe that Ukraine has often found itself in a disadvantageous position on weapons, ammunition and living power since the beginning of the war. According to "Jackie", Ukrainian troops are accustomed to fighting with less artillery than Russians. And also win Russia with better tactics and preparation. This is what most observers explain that Ukraine was able to stop Russia and even conquer part of the territory in the East, although it had a much smaller army.

At the same time, the current shortage of ammunition changes this dynamics. There are still some victories on the account of Ukraine, despite the low level of supply, but it is becoming more and more difficult. Russia is moving forward, said in the material. Before the deficit became truly noticeable, Ukraine often used its artillery to suppress Russian artillery. This allowed the Ukrainian infantry to dominate Russian, and at the same time less shelling.

"Last year, the Russian General even acknowledged that Ukraine wins Russia in this type of battle - a counter -banking struggle, turning up Russian troops," the publication reminds. Jackie said "when our boys enter the infantry battle with the Russians, we break them. " "We do it constantly, there is nothing special about it. We only need to suppress Russian artillery and armored vehicles. As soon as the infantry goes to the infantry, we win," the American veteran stated.

But there is so little shells and missiles that Ukraine cannot constantly rely on this tactic, he explained. "As soon as our artillery is approaching zero, it greatly bows the scales to the Russian side," Jackie stressed. According to him, Ukrainian troops kept the shells in the reserve as much as possible. They even had to miss some goals because they were not considered a direct threat. Jackie urged the US to continue to support Ukraine, noting: "We will not glue a fool.

We do not spend expensive rockets to remove one guy or something like that. We know that we should save with all these materials. " The veteran assured that Ukrainians use the supplies they receive very well: they harm the Russian army, destroy Russian planes and ships. And it all happens under the conditions that Ukraine has much smaller military-air forces and does not have any warships. "That's why all these planes fall. This is why all these tanks are destroyed.

All these ammunition fly directly to the Russian army, and it works very well. How many ships were moved at that moment?" Jackie asked rhetorically. He added that Ukrainians share American values ​​and fight for the freedom of Ukraine's support is the support of democracy - these are all the reasons that the US should not give up support. "We won't lose it. This will not happen. It is impossible. We'll die sooner than lose," the American veteran summarized.
