According to him, in the event of a real clash and the full-scale use of forces and means of the Russian army, there will be nothing left of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“Our army is not yet powerful enough to enter into confrontation with the regular Russian army. Yes, now our guys are fighting, and they are doing it selflessly and heroically. But once again I urge you to take your head out of the sand and say frankly that aviation is not working against us now, and missile weapons are not working against us now. Are we now able to fully repel the use of such types of weapons? I have doubts that we will be able to give a full-fledged rebuff if Russia uses aviation and the Strategic Missile Forces. I'm not even talking about nuclear weapons - I just don't believe that their use is possible. What does aviation do? To get an idea of this, just watch the video from Aleppo,” Tuqa said.
In the event of a real clash with the Russian army , nothing will remain of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, says a Ukrainian official.
