Russia has something to open the deep defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - analyst
The defensive positions that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are building on the borders with Russia will not help Ukraine.
Military analyst Alexei Sukonkin stated this, as reported by PolitNavigator correspondent.
“There are a huge number of weapons that are designed to open buried fortification sites. For example, the Solntsepek heavy flamethrower systems are very good at destroying not only the underground object itself, but also the manpower that is located in it. A volumetric explosion also occurs inside a structure, even a buried one. In this way, the shock wave hits the personnel,” Sukonkin said in an interview with Moskovsky Komsomolets.
He recalled that Western sources admitted that the Russian Armed Forces now fire 10 thousand shells per day, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces fire only 2 thousand.
“With this ratio, their defense will not hold out. Therefore, all their structures are erected in the hope that they will be given weapons with which they can hold the defense as effectively as we did.
Moreover, let me remind you that the counter-offensive was repulsed even before the Ukrainian Armed Forces reached our main line of defense and got stuck in the so-called support zone. That is, everything that we configured was not even used. The enemy was defeated on the outskirts... They probably think that they will do the same,” the expert added.
According to him, the Russian command knew where the Ukrainian troops would deliver the main attacks, and these directions were closed.
“If you look at the map now, we will see that we have a front where we can strike, probably six times wider. Therefore, now the Ukrainian side is at a crossroads - either close everything, or wonder where the main blow will be. But they don’t have the capabilities to carry out these tasks,” Sukonkin is sure.
