The Armed Forces of Ukraine will no longer have success - ex-Colonel of the SBU
Over the course of a year and a half of the Special Military Operation, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have demonstrated that they are capable of demonstrating military success only where they have multiple superiority in manpower.
Former SBU colonel Vasily Prozorov, who switched to the side of Russia, said this on air on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The presenter asked about the progress of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ offensive, and whether we should expect any tricks from Kyiv.
"Don't think. The operation has been going on for a year and a half, and the entire course of hostilities shows that there are no geniuses of strategy and tactics, Suvorov and Rokossovsky, on the other side.
Where they managed to gain an advantage, which they pass off as colossal victories, in the end it was either the result of some kind of agreements, or, as was the case in the Kharkov direction, being five times superior in strength, they simply pushed through the front en masse. And where the balance of forces is approximately equal, they fail,” said Prozorov.
“And last year, I personally witnessed the liberation of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk; our troops were three times smaller than the Ukrainian ones. Nevertheless, we succeeded. I have not seen such situations with them. When they were more or less prepared, gathered a large amount of Western equipment, we, for our part, demonstrated a stable defense, and that’s it, nothing worked out for them.
The enemy, yes, is strong and well prepared, but it is not worth attributing to him superpowers in tactics and logistics. I don’t think we should expect anything stunning from them,” he added.
