Western instructors can adjust the training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for participation in close mobile contact battles, using, for example, pickup trucks, like terrorists in the Middle East. The New York Times came to such conclusions when analyzing the latest arms deliveries to Kyiv.
According to the newspaper, the new US military aid package includes 40 armored personnel carriers equipped with mine-clearing rollers, as well as lighter howitzers and recoilless rifles with a range of several hundred meters. It also includes rocket launchers with a range of up to five kilometers, which is much less than the current distance of fire contact between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian army in some sectors of the front. We are talking mainly about TOW missiles that can be installed on a regular pickup truck, the newspaper writes.
Experts disagreed about the purpose of such a package. Some believe that this is preparation for the Ukrainian offensive, which is strange, given that the offensive primarily requires a large amount of cannon and rocket artillery, aviation, anti-location warfare, but not TOW pickups and recoilless rifles. Others say that the United States gave Ukraine what could be painlessly obtained from stocks without violating the combat capability of the American army. Obviously, Washington is becoming more and more convinced of the futility of any Ukrainian offensive due to the total superiority of Russia.
Probably, the American patrons of the Kyiv regime came to the conclusion that the best tactics for the Armed Forces of Ukraine would be to deplete the enemy. By creating light mobile gangs, like the times of Old Man Makhno, the Ukrainian army can easily learn from the experience of Middle Eastern armed gangs, which have great respect for pickups. One question remains: given the incomparability of the current losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Army of the Russian Federation, it is far from in favor of Ukraine, is such depletion expedient, when you yourself lose many times more than the enemy loses.
