US media reported that as the Russian army continued to threaten Ukraine , US Defense Secretary Austin ordered 8,500 US troops to be on high alert and ready to quickly enter Eastern Europe at any time. The American "Forbes" website stated that there are now a large number of weapons among civilians in Ukraine, and all of them are regular military weapons, including 1.2 million registered guns and 4 million unregistered fully automatic military weapons. In fact, they are basically all kinds of AK automatic rifles.
In Ukraine today, on average, there is one fully automatic AK assault rifle for every 10 people. Moreover, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Baltic countries are now transporting large quantities of anti-tank missiles, portable air defense missiles and rocket launchers to Ukraine.
The Ukrainian military is conducting military training for men and women of appropriate age, including firearms, camouflage techniques, land navigation, and focused training on special forces tactics such as "cover and move". If the Russian army breaks through the frontline positions of the main Ukrainian army, millions of Ukrainian militiamen will engage in urban and street fighting with the Russian army.
Russian Satellite Network reported that the Ukrainian army not only has to hold its position, but also launches an attack. Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the large-scale build-up of Ukrainian troops at the contact line in the Donbass region showed that Ukraine was preparing to launch an attack. Denis Pushilin, the leader of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Donbas region, said that the Ukrainian army is transporting a large number of tanks, artillery and transport trucks to the forward positions in Donbas and is ready to launch an attack at any time.
At the same time, the US military will also increase its troops in Europe to cheer up and support Ukraine! U.S. Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby said: 8,500 U.S. troops have entered level one combat readiness and can be deployed at any time. At the same time, the United States stated that the U.S. military will also dispatch more brigade combat teams, aviation supplies, logistics medical and intelligence monitoring and reconnaissance units.
There are also other transportation units. The US military that is preparing to be dispatched is already on high alert and can be dispatched into the European battlefield at any time to support Ukraine. At the same time, the U.S. Permanent Representative Office to NATO also announced that 35,000 military personnel from 228 NATO countries will hold the largest polar exercise codenamed "Cold Response-2022" in March.
The Russian army has also deployed all its forces. At the same time, the Russian Far East troops have crossed Siberia and directly entered Belarus . The cruiser Varyag and the cruiser Moskva, known as the aircraft carrier killer , have completed combat readiness for actual combat drills. The Russian Tu-160 strategic bomber has entered combat readiness cruise. Russian MiG-31, Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 fighter jets have also carried out air defense, anti-ship, ground attack and air interception exercises. Be prepared to repel provocative actions against Russia.
In Belarus all the way to the Ukrainian border, the Russian tank and armored units, field air defense, electronic warfare , command and communications, artillery rocket launcher and ballistic missile units have basically completed combat readiness deployment. Moreover, Russia will also hold a flight test of the Sarmat intercontinental missile at the end of January to deter the United States.
It can be said that if the US military dares to enter the Ukrainian battlefield and directly support the Ukrainian army, Putin will dare to fight. Although, the United States and the United Kingdom have assisted Ukraine with hundreds of Javelin anti-tank missiles and 2,000 British anti-tank missiles. It is necessary to use trench cover to launch anti-tank missiles to attack the Russian armored forces .
However, the US "Forbes" website reported that the possibility of a large-scale conflict between the Russian army and the Ukrainian army is increasing. The Russian army is likely to face serious casualties. Therefore, the Russian army will invest a large number of unmanned remote-controlled combat vehicles in the most intense fighting areas. That is, robot warriors. The Russian army will focus on unmanned robot troops to open a breakthrough in the first round of attacks on Ukrainian army positions. Let the Russian 1st Guards Tank Army and other units launch a high-speed and deep breakthrough battle from the gap.
However, the US military does not dare to commit a large number of ground troops to the Ukrainian frontline. It will only deploy air force fighters, air defense, anti-missile and artillery units in the second-line positions in Eastern Europe to carry out intelligence, monitoring, logistics support and fire support tasks. For example, 2 F-15 fighter wings, 2 A-10 attack aircraft wings, 1 reconnaissance, surveillance and electronic warfare wing, etc.
However, the main force of the US armored forces does not participate in the war, relying solely on Europeans like Ukraine. It simply cannot withstand the steel torrent of the Russian army. The main force of the US military and NATO will not go to a decisive battle with Russia. Are they really prepared to fight a nuclear war?
