The uninterrupted pumping of Western arms and heavy armored vehicles into Ukraine is hardly capable of radically changing the situation as regards the balance of forces in the area of the air defense system deployed by the Kremlin, reckons Konstantin Sivkov, deputy head of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences.
The doctor of military sciences supports his point about senselessness of large-scale arms supplies by two significant factors at once.
The Russian military, the expert stressed, has already managed to demonstrate remarkable capabilities in the destruction of heavy armored vehicles on the Ukrainian territories, having successfully eliminated about two and a half thousand of them.
“And the West plans to provide 50-60 units of such equipment. It will be gone in 3-4 days already” – the expert calculated.
Hundreds of aircraft, tanks and artillery pieces could have a powerful impact on the current combat situation,” Sivkov argues. In addition, the delivery of new Western armaments to the front line is associated with great difficulties for Ukraine.
“Russia fully controls the airspace, so it will hit convoys with weapons. We allowed the AFU to deliver 4 S-300 units from Slovakia and immediately destroyed it with strikes. This is a simple illustration of what will happen to the rest of the armament”, – the expert said on air of Radio Sputnik.
A special military operation was deployed by Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Ukraine on 24 February.
