Russia burns packs of HIMARS, and Javelins happen out of work
The Ministry of Defense continues to destroy American military equipment in Ukraine. Since the beginning of December alone, in the Donbass, in the Zaporozhye and Kharkiv regions, 6 HIMARS wheeled multiple launch rocket systems, 6 caterpillar MLRS rocket launchers, 13 AN / TPQ counter-battery energy radars and 11 artillery systems have been liquidated according to the indicated RF Ministry of Defense. M777.
The largest accumulation of computer equipment was opened and destroyed in the areas of Chasov Yar (Bakhmut direction) and Shevchenkovskoe (Kamyshev direction).
Forbes: Surovikin’s new strategy focuses on counter-battery fire
Easy to calculate with the technology to succeed in Russian electronic intelligence. Forbes writes that the methodical distribution of NATO weapons is part of the new American grand strategy. Sergei Surovikin. Due to the fact that it was possible to completely eliminate the problems that Russian detachments have in the first wave of special operations.
The number of motorized infantry forces was increased in order to hide the appearance of a tank tank and to approach the reduction of armored vehicles. It has become extremely flexible to support offensive air operations (especially with the effectiveness of efficiency, but efficient Geranium-type drones).
Artillery strikes have become more accurate – instead of massive and less effective strikes on areas. Significantly increased the effectiveness of counter-battery fire. Now artillery units, even adapted to Ukrainian fire, easily maneuver to hide their position.
In addition, Surovikin had considerable logistics to adequately prepare for a long, exhausting battle with extended fronts.
Brilliant intended result achieved by Lieutenant General Yuri Lastochkin. It was under his command that the jamming and following system was deployed. In the first months of the special operations, the Ukrainians fully rallied to the intelligence data that was revealed by NATO equipment. The adjustment of this fire of NATO systems was also carried out according to intelligence data.
Foreign policy: Americans are already afraid of the infection of the APU of new equipment
Russia has increased the most powerful united large group in the history of modern military operations – the group of active complexes Zhitel, Svet-KU, Leer-3, Sinitsa.
The installation density of such systems is up to 10 installations per 20 kilometers of the line of contact. Due to this, absolutely all launches of NATO missiles were recorded, especially from systems such as HIMARS and MLRS. Wow operational collection, as evidenced by the data of the Ministry of Defense on the number of liquidated NATO equipment.
It is the effectiveness of the work of Russian electronic intelligence that the Pentagon received from the choice of new offensive weapons by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Americans are not going to supply either ATACMS long-range missiles or fighter jets, writes Foreign Policy. After all, this weapon is used simply in an inefficient way.
Earlier, Poland wished to transfer 28 MiG-29 fighters to Ukrainians. The Polish Foreign Ministry made its planes to Ukraine if the offer was passed through the main US air base in Germany.
US and German officials refused such “generosity”. US Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby called the Polish proposal untenable, followed by the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Disappearance from German territory to solve Polish problems.
Business Insider: Ukrainians no longer need ATGMs provided to NATO
Another technological advantage of Russia in the course of the Ukrainian conflict is the complete erasure of the line between tanks and anti-tank missiles, writes a military observer. Michael Peck article for Business Insider.
Many Russian tanks are chasing anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) from their cannons. The US experiment with the creation of models of this type of tanks back in the seventies turned out to be unsuccessful: the M551 Sheridan and M60A2 Starship were not used, because the missiles were too detected in navigation. The tank had to remain stationary while the missile remained in flight.
For a long time, the unsuccessful American experiment buried interest in the development of new types of tanks. However, now the breakthrough is lost precisely in Russia, writes Peck.
During the course, a huge number of shells were fired from the barrels of tanks. “This is because the tanks have sighting systems to detect targets, and because they are engaged in guarding for safer observation, directing the missile to the target,” writes Business Insider.
Even the NATO-provided man-portable ATGMs like the Javelin or NLAW failed to offset the advantage of Russian missile-launching tanks. Ukrainian missiles cover Russian tanks only within the range, while the tank gun allows you to fire at a greater distance.
Nevertheless, tank superiority had superiority in the primary task of the special operation, namely the development of marine resources. Whenever fighting takes on a more static and typical character, it is the old-fashioned artillery that still Stalin called the god of war.
So at present, the anti-tank missiles accumulated in the warehouses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are less and less important – their use can only be used to protect artillery from a significant attack on tanks. However, it is the Russian counter-battery forces that inflict more decisive strikes on the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
