cannot win on the battlefield
Recently, NATO head Stottenerberg said that Russia is preparing for a protracted war, and Ukraine's allies must continue to send weapons until Putin President realizes that "it cannot win on the battlefield."
Indeed, the special military operation has been 297 days since February 24. As the world's second largest military power and former protector in the "Budapest Memorandum", Russia is actually passive everywhere in conventional battles. At present, except for Bachmut, who has Donetsk , Russia can still maintain its offense, other areas are basically in a defensive state.
Perhaps it is because the cold winter is coming; perhaps Russia is planning a big battle; perhaps Russia is still waiting for assistance from friendly countries such as Belarus . Anyway, although the current Russian-Ukraine war is in a stalemate, Russia is very embarrassed in the battlefield situation.
Compared with this, the more the Ukrainian army is, the higher the morale. On the one hand, it is all-round assistance from European, American, British and Western countries, especially military equipment, weapons and ammunition, which are provided in place, and has been trained by Western military , and its combat effectiveness is very strong. On the other hand, it should be that Ukrainian soldiers defend their country and they have no way out.
Today, I saw a photo, which made me unable to believe it. How could it be?
It should be said that it is in normal times, or in other countries, so saunas should be common. But, can you believe it? This turned out to be the Bachmut region where Ukrainian soldiers fought the most fiercely.
There is a simple wooden sauna, hot water and electricity, and the important thing is safety and time. It is obvious that this battle place for Ukrainian soldiers has very strong and comfortable environmental conditions with the assistance of European, American, British and Western countries.
Once, I have seen reports that Nordic Norway Sweden and other countries have provided assistance to Ukraine in winter combat equipment. At the same time, in the media, I have seen intelligent fortifications with assistance from the front line of Ukraine. A device like a large gasoline barrel is installed in the trenches, with electricity, network, and heating, especially safe and sturdy.
Such a combat environment, coupled with the comprehensive, fast and accurate battlefield situational awareness , no wonder the Ukrainian army has very strong combat effectiveness. This is reflected in the battle of defense of Jeep, the great victory of Kharkov, the victory of Khlsong , and other major battles, which are also reflected in the daily battle loss data of Russia.
To this day, 97,690 Russian troops have died, including 2 lieutenant generals, 10 major generals, and more than 2,900 lieutenants to colonel-level officers. As for all kinds of military equipment, it is even more shocking. There are 2,985 tanks alone, armored vehicles, 5,958 heavy trucks, and even 316 ships.
Speaking of ships, we must not mention the once famous Black Sea Fleet . The fleet's flagship, once advertised as the aircraft carrier nemesis and the most advanced ship Moscow , was attacked by Ukraine's "Neptune" missile and sank to the bottom of the sea. And the second flagship, Admiral Macrov, was actually injured by an unmanned boat.
It seems that Russia, which inherited the legacy of the former Soviet Union, has not been as powerful as the legendary military weapons and equipment. Especially after this Russian-Ukraine war, Russian weapons have probably been revealed in the world arms market. For example, India canceled several military purchase contracts.
However, what is more serious is that Russia has lasted for nearly 10 months of special military operations, and the losses of various weapons and equipment, especially ammunition, missiles, drones are too serious. Some military experts pointed out that the production speed of of Russian military-industrial enterprises cannot keep up with the consumption speed of ammunition on the battlefield. It is estimated that by next spring, there will be no ammunition.
In fact, it is not just that the ammunition will be exhausted, but the protective equipment of the Russian soldiers is even lacking. The picture above is revealed by the media today, a Russian soldier's bulletproof vest.
This is a cultural relic discovered by the Ukrainian army in the stolen goods harvested by the Nikolayev area.Soldiers from the 59th Independent Moon Infantry Brigade of Ukraine discovered several Soviet-era ZHZL-74 body armors when searching a residential building where the Russian army lived.
This bulletproof vest was successfully developed in the Soviet Union in 1974. It is made based on the so-called "scaly arrangement pattern". Each scale is 50 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness, arranged in an interlaced manner. In today's modern warfare, this kind of bulletproof vest can be very limited in defense against machine gun rifle bomb shrapnel.
40 years ago, plus guns from 40 years ago, and ammunition from 40 years ago, how can such Russian troops fight on the battlefield?
Of course, the Russian Federation's Ministry of Defense denied that it provided backward protective equipment to soldiers. At present, these body armor have been handed over to the National History Museum of Ukraine.
Conventional battles failed step by step, but since October, in the words of Russian President Putin, Ukraine attacked the Kerch Bridge in Crimea, and we began to retaliate. How to take revenge? It is to use long-range missiles and drones to attack the energy infrastructure of major Ukrainian cities.
December 16, at 9 am local time, Russia carried out large-scale missile attacks on Ukraine's energy facilities, substations for and other targets. The targets hit by the missile include Kip Prefecture, Kharkov Prefecture , Dnipropet and Zaporoze Prefecture and other areas, with 9 energy infrastructure and some residential buildings.
Among them, a civilian building in Kreevlich was destroyed. The person in charge of the region said, "A Russian missile hit a residential building in Kreevelih, the stairwell was destroyed, two people were unfortunately killed, and at least five people were injured, including two children. The injured have been sent to the hospital for assistance." After the
missile attack, electricity in some areas was cut off. Ukrainian Metro Company announced that some subways will be suspended.
And citizens of Ukrainian capital Kiev heard three huge explosions. Local officials said that 37 of the 40 incoming missiles were shot down by air defense forces. In addition, although the three missiles exploded, no casualties were caused.
This large-scale missile attack, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said that the Russian army launched a total of 76 missiles, and 60 of them were shot down by the air defense forces.
To be honest, Russia's large-scale long-range missile and drone attacks only destroyed Ukraine's energy infrastructure and left millions of Ukrainians in darkness and cold, but it could not defeat the courage and determination of the Ukrainian people to resist aggression. At the same time, it aroused the sympathy of the people of Europe, America, Britain and the West, and allowed these developed countries to give Ukraine more financial, military, political and humanitarian aid.
The picture above shows the Ukrainians decorating the Christmas tree. This Christmas tree is very distinctive, the body is like a camouflage uniform, and the branches are said to be a local statue. Such a dress is considered a Christmas tree on the battlefield.
Speaking of this, we must not ignore Pope Francis, who has never been concerned about politics. In a weekly routine speech on December 14, the Pope publicly stated that we would have a simpler Christmas and give the things we saved to the Ukrainian people with simpler gifts, and they need these.
Help the suffering Ukrainian people and make "specific charitable actions" for them. Obviously, the experience of the Ukrainian people has attracted sympathy from the whole world.
Take EU and Germany, an important country in NATO, as an example. Today, not only is a new round of aid plans announced, but a generator of 19.5 million euros was provided. Since November, as Russia violates the rules of war more and more, Germany has significantly changed its position. In terms of the scale and degree of military aid, there has been a trend of significant strengthening in terms of economic and humanitarian aid.
From the strengthening of Germany's aid to the universal assistance of various Western countries, especially in the near future, the United States has clearly stated that it will provide Ukraine with "Patriot" missile defense system and "smart bombs". It can be said that this will completely change the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war.Just like the Himas and the M270 rocket launch systems, Russia's failure is just around the corner on the conventional battlefield.
The problem is, Dujin said that the Russian-Ukrainian war will either Russia win the war or the world will be destroyed.
Russia won the war, it was obvious that it was impossible. However, this destruction of the world is really a bit terrifying. Although it is a bit scary, President Prussia Russia said on December 9 that Western countries are not trustworthy and Russia may take the initiative.
In 2014, it occupied Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula . This special military operation in 2022 "occupied" four Ukrainian regions: Zaporoze , Khlsson, Donetsk and Luhansk . In particular, Russia has passed the so-called "referendum" to clarify these areas as Russia's territory from a legal perspective.
According to the Vice Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Conference Medvedev , Russia will use all means to maintain territorial integrity.
In this way, on December 16, Russian Satellite News Agency and other media disclosed that the Russian army deployed two "Yars" intercontinental ballistic missiles in the launch silo on December 14 and 15, entering combat duty. The "Yars" intercontinental ballistic missile is the primary weapon of Russia's strategic forces. Entering the duty state means that Russia's "strong nuclear force" will be launched at any time.
Survive, or destroy? nuclear weapon has been around for nearly 80 years. Does President Prussia really want to destroy the world?
