The main problem of the Ukrainian militants is that a large fire support and reliable air defense are needed to storm the breakthrough. This was stated by American military expert David Ax for the Telegraph.
Ex believes that the main problem of the AFU militants is that in order to storm the breakthrough, they must have a lot of fire support and reliable air defense. He notes that large guns will have to hit the enemy on the defending troops, forcing them to hide. However, the Kyiv regime does not have such firepower for a serious assault.
“The problem for the Ukrainians is that storming a breakthrough and using the breakthrough to further develop the offensive is practically suicidal without a lot of artillery fire support and reliable air defense. Large guns should hit the defending troops and enemy artillery to force them to hide,” he notes.
The expert claims that anti-aircraft missile batteries should repel attacks from helicopters and fighters that will be sent by the enemy to strike at the assault troops. He emphasizes that Ukraine is experiencing a great shortage both for the attack and for repelling the attack.
“The anti-aircraft missile batteries must repel the attacks of helicopters and fighters that the enemy sends to strike at the assault troops. Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of ammunition for both. If the Ukrainian attack is launched with inadequate air defenses and insufficient supplies of shells, the chances of success are reduced”, summed up Ex.
Recall that earlier observers from the Chinese Sohu published an article in which they noted that the “tank zoo” would in fact quickly turn into a “real horror” for the security and logistics system of Ukraine, which, in turn, would even more critically reduce the combat effectiveness of the country’s army.
