Russia failed. General Bridlava gave a defective assessment of the Russian army and named two features

The retired General and Expert Commander of the NATO forces in Europe, Philip Bridl, in an interview with HB, defeated the Russian army and named two of its peculiarities. Some people called the Russian army the second or third army of the world, though it is not.

However, it was a good army that was not ready for war in Ukraine, since the leadership of the Russian and the Russian army made the wrong decisions and created failed plans, while the Ukrainian army was ready for what happened, ”Brydlava said in an interview '' YB. He added that after the fighting on the outskirts of Kiev, and then near Kharkiv, the Russian army lost its quality and "it is a completely different army today.

" "Now it is an army that tries to regroup and redevelop, and it cannot do anything of it, while it goes into battle again," the retired US general. He also named two remarkable features of the Russian army in the war with Ukraine: “The first-the Russians were unable to do what we call nationwide fighting (Combined Arms Fighting), and second, they were unable to take the sky and set their own game rules in it ”.

The NATO Exported Commander in Europe has specified that although the Russians are making much more departure, there are places where Russian aviation cannot get in principle. “There are such technical concepts of war in which Russia failed. The first is SEAD - suppression of the enemy's aerial forces. The Russians failed to suppress Ukrainian air forces to the end. The second - Dead - the destruction of the enemy's air forces and she also failed.

Earlier, the Russian army was respected for the skills of war in the sky, but in Ukraine it showed that she was not able to demonstrate them, ”Bridlav summed up. He also expressed the opinion that the Russians underestimated the Ukrainian army and "catastrophically overestimated the mood of Ukrainians to meet them in their territory", which was why they invaded Ukraine unprepared and "defeated by defeat.

" “They did not have the opportunity to retreat massively to Russia in order to regroup well and return, they still have serious problems in the organization of their army. That is why they are leading this maneuverable artillery war today at a slow pace, ”the retired US general. According to the latest data, from the beginning of the invasion, the invaders have already lost 42. 8 thousand personnel.
