The British newspaper Independent has published an article saying that according to some intelligence report, Russian troops in Donbass are dozens of times larger than Ukrainian troops in the number of artillery and ammunition and many times larger in the range of their weapons, and this has a depressing effect on the morale of Ukrainians.
The newspaper did not say by whom and for whom this report was compiled.
“Russia surpasses Ukraine 20 times in the number of guns and MLRS, and 40 times in the number of ammunition. The Ukrainians have almost run out of Smerch and Uragan missiles, which allowed them to hit the Russians from afar in the first weeks of the war. Grads and howitzers are left, which can reach a maximum of 20-30 kilometres. The Russians, on the other hand, can hit concentrations of Ukrainian troops with missiles from a distance of many tens or even hundreds of kilometres. And this is not counting the huge superiority of Russians in the air: Russian planes and helicopters can be shot down only rarely,” the article said.
It is also reported that the anti-tank Javelins and NLAWs are now completely useless, they cannot hit the long-range artillery of the Russian forces. Therefore, Ukraine is suffering heavy losses and this is suppressing morale in the units: the number of deserters is constantly increasing.
