The head of the Wings of the Phoenix volunteer group, Yuri Biryukov, stated this on air on the Kyiv Channel 5.
“I never noticed any fundamental difference in equipment there. Yes, now there are rumors that sniper rifles of increased caliber and range have appeared in the militants’ arsenal, but there is no fundamental difference in equipment. On our side there are also tanks, on our side there are also MANPADS, so there is not much difference here,” the expert noted.
“Yes, but on our side there is a regular army,” the presenter objected.
“On their side, too, it’s essentially a regular army. It is well trained, GRU experts have been seen more than once, Russian military personnel have been seen more than once, and on our side most of them are reservists, so calling them a well-trained regular army is also quite difficult,” says Yuri Biryukov.
