The Russian Federation is forced to use outdated equipment, but it is still enough to continue the war - the Armed Forces

The year of the war in Ukraine and the heroic defense of Ukrainian defenders significantly reduced the "fleet" of Russian military equipment, which is why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation increasingly began to use outdated tanks and BMPs. Russian invaders still have resources to continue the war against Ukraine, in particular, a sufficient stock of military equipment, although it is outdated.

On May 5, a spokesman of the eastern group of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Cherevaty announced this on the air of the telephone on May 5. "Unfortunately, the enemy still has stocks and has the opportunity to replenish them, but every day our heroic warriors do everything to reduce this stock," he said.

According to him, as a result of the successful counter-offensive of the Defense Forces in the Kharkiv region, Ukraine Strofeyl has many latest enemy equipment, which is why now in many areas of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "moved" on the technique of the old model: BMP-1, BTR-60, T-62 tanks, etc.

"Our year of struggle and destruction of the enemy's technique affects his combat potential, but in quantitative terms, unfortunately, though somewhat outdated equipment, but he still has," said Sergei Cherevaty. He also added that today the priority for the enemy is the admiration of Bakhmut. Here the invaders focused on their main efforts. Over the past day, the enemy attacked the positions of defense forces of Ukraine in the Bakhmut region 19 times, carried out 229 shelling and 2 aircraft.

In turn, Ukrainian defenders "filled" Russian invaders well and destroyed 133 invaders and 166 more. Defense forces "demilitarized" hostile ZRGK "shell", 3 stations of the IP, 2 self -propelled installations, 2 howitzers, one BMP and 8 field warehouses from BC. Recall that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation set themselves the goal - to capture Bakhmut by May 9. This is the 17th or 18th deadline, which Russian occupiers put about the capture of the Ukrainian fortress.
