There is also the risk that the loads do not withstand the transport units on which the equipment is delivered to Ukraine, wrote March 22, The Washington Post. In addition, even a weapon that has arrived in Ukraine or is on the road can be ineffective. This opinion was expressed by the analyst of the Atlantic Council Rachel Ritzo.
"The announcement of fighters was extremely symbolic and caused loud applause in Kiev, but the Soviet aircraft have limited use, given the nature of the war," the expert said. According to Ritzo, fighters will be useful to the Ukrainian military only in an artillery battle in the near distance, in which neither side controls the sky. The situation with Abrams tanks, as the publication writes, is also ambiguous. "They (tanks - ed.
) Will add great armored force, but will arrive no earlier in the fall - about six months after the expected spring counter -offensive of Ukrainian troops," the analytics said. In addition, the officials in the Pentagon have expressed fears that Ukrainians will have difficulty supporting and maintenance of Abrams tanks.
Rachel Ritzo believes that the Russian Federation can now gain an advantage on the battlefield in four cases: Recall that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at the end of March that the outcome of the war would decide the military industry. According to the Secretary General, Britain, France and Germany, it is necessary to be prepared for long -term support for Ukraine with shells and spare parts for armored vehicles.
