The Russian-Ukrainian crisis has been 9 months unconsciously. Most of Ukrainian armored vehicles have been destroyed, and many of the equipment rely on assistance from Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, Australia and other countries. Many of them are much higher in terms of software and hardware than those equipped in Ukraine before. However, most of the weapons they aid are used in their own country or hot spots. On the Ukrainian battlefield, the geographical factors here are different, and some have become unacceptable.
Geographical factors include many aspects, mainly weather, terrain, vegetation ecology, etc.
This year, the northern hemisphere is warm in winter. Ukraine, which has been snowy in previous years, is still very warm. Although it has snowed in southern areas such as Khlsong, Odessa, Nikolayev, etc., the overall temperature is still very high than in previous years.
The cold air going south overwhelms the warm and humid airflow of the Black Sea going north. There is not much snow and rain often falls. This rainwater accumulates in the deep black soil and will not dry out in a short period of time.
Europe and the United States have assisted a large number of wheeled weapons such as armored vehicles, truck guns, towed howitzers, such as the American "Hummer", the French "Caesar" self-propelled howitzers, the American M777 towed howitzers, and the American "Haimas" multiple rocket launcher. These are very suitable for use in desert areas, the Great Plains of the United States, the Western European Plains, and even mountainous areas.
In the dry summer and autumn, you can maneuver on disrepaired roads at high speed, or even crush crops, passing through the great plains on the black soil. What about now?
You can often see that the Ukrainian army's European and American wheeled equipment is deeply trapped in the quagmire and drifts on the main road. They have to send steel ropes and pull people.
It can be said that if Russia had more missile cruisers, it would have been a month to bombard the equipment on the front line that was deeply trapped in the quagmire.
Most of the Russian weapons inherited the Soviet Union or developed in the Soviet Union's concept. Based on the frozen soil and muddy terrain in the region, it is not necessary to say that the chassis of the wheeled car is more adaptable than that of Europe and the United States, and the impact is much smaller. The most famous one is Kamaz, Ural series of cars.
Terrain aspect. Everyone knows that large plains in Ukraine have windbreaks only when there are long distances between large areas of arable land. Some places have hills and trees everywhere.
Europe and the United States have assisted a large number of anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers. These ranges are too short. The maximum range of the "Jaberfin" is 2.5 kilometers, the maximum range of the "Tao" type is 3.75 kilometers, the maximum range of the "Milan" is 2 kilometers, the maximum range of the "NLAW is 1 kilometers, and the maximum range of the "Gustav" is 1 kilometers.
These weapons were very useful when ambushed in Kiev, street fighting in Mariupol, Northton, Lisichangsk and other places, and caused great damage to various Russian vehicles.
However, there is a shortage of combat in plain windbreak forests. The distance between many windbreak forests has exceeded the maximum range of missile rockets. Carrying an anti-tank missile through the flat ground is very dangerous.
Especially now, the Russian army often releases drones, flies a few kilometers to reconnaissance, discovers fortifications and ambush teams, and greets them after a blow of artillery fire. These weapons rarely have the glory of the beginning of the war.
recently leaked videos, and the "short number" performed very well, and even used drone positioning to create an anti-armor case of over-visual range.
"short number" has a 10-kilometer range, and the shooter is very safe. Unlike the "javelin", once the launch team is exposed, tank guns can often knock them down.
There are many other aspects, such as rifles, which have a lot of mud and water environment and cold times, which makes some NATO rifles useless, and the AK series can be played casually. At the beginning of the year, many Ukrainian troops had known that they had given up European and American rifles.
Türkiye's "TB-2" drone was in the Nagorno-Karabakh War, in the early days of the Russian-Ukraine War, Türkiye has performed well in the attack on Kurdish, and it is now hard to find in the Russian-Ukraine battlefield. The Russian air defense force's old "Doer" was solved. Even older "Hornets" have their results.
The US government has refused to provide Ukraine with the "Grey Eagle" investigation and attack drone. The reason is very simple. Iran does not take it seriously. So what if you go to the battlefield in Ukraine?
