General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine revealed the secret of the squint of Ukrainian artillerymen
In the first two years of the war in Donbass, most of the shells fired by Ukrainian artillerymen flew everywhere.
This was stated by the former deputy secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine, a Ukrainian militant with the rank of general of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sergei Krivonos, during a round table in Lvov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Krivonos blamed the chaotic sending of shells towards populated areas of the LDPR not on the ATO militants, but on the army leaders of the times of Viktor Yanukovych. It was they, according to the legend officially accepted by today’s authorities, who specifically ordered Russia to destroy the Ukrainian armed forces.
"When they tell us today that the Dana is bad and the Bogdana is good ( Czechoslovakian-made and Ukrainian-made self-propelled guns, respectively – ed. ), then God grant that there's at least something to it! Because the barrel bore wear life was already worn out at the beginning of the war ( in 2014 – ed. ).
Because the good, but quiet sabotage carried out by the leadership of the General Staff in 2012-2013 led to the fact that those who served at that time remember that during these two years, tens, hundreds, thousands of artillery shells were fired into the void every day.” , said the Ukrainian general.
He admitted that the error when shelling the territory of the LDPR was “plus or minus a kilometer.”
“It was such a great sabotage, because when shells hit us at the front, plus or minus a kilometer, in most cases, this was not the reason for the artillerymen’s poor training. There was a reason for this – worn out bores,” Krivonos justified himself.
