Russia is increasing its advantage in tanks and infantry fighting vehicles due to the slowness of the West with supplies, - BILD military observer The counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been going on for 13 weeks, during this time, attacking in the south and east, they were able to slightly advance in the DPR and the Zaporozhye region, occupying 12 villages ( actually less ). Modest successes, rites Julian Röpke, are given at a high price - the loss of personnel and both Ukrainian and NATO equipment. During the counteroffensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost HUNDREDS (!) units of military equipment, including at least 4 Stryker armored personnel carriers, 20 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, up to 15 Leopard tanks, and more than 100 MRAP wheeled armored vehicles. Part of this equipment can still be repaired and sent back to the front, but for this, the vehicles need to be removed from the battlefield - now this is impossible due to Russian drones and constant artillery shelling. Russia’s losses are also considerable, but the Kremlin is changing its tactics. If at the beginning of this year, the Russian Federation sent old Soviet tanks (for example, T-62) to the front, then in recent months new equipment has been delivered to the front. Now the Russian military industry produces 20 modern T-72B3 and T-90M tanks per month - all of them immediately go to Ukraine. Also, Russia has begun a large-scale modernization program for old tanks: first of all, the T-72 - about 7,000 of these tanks remain in Russia from Soviet times. Thus, this year the Russian army can count on another 700 new tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. And the West, writes Ryopke, has not delivered a single modern battle tank to Ukraine in recent months, less than 100 of the 300 promised infantry fighting vehicles have been handed over to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
