"We are in the decisive phase of war," NATO Secretary General told whether the Armed Forces will receive more Western weapons

According to Jens Stoltenberg, recent reports of some countries about their willingness to pass heavy weapons to Ukraine is an important sign that supply will increase in the future. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces) can receive even more heavy weapons from Western allies in the near future. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with Handelsblatt.

He noted that the war with Russia has gone into a decisive stage, so NATO Secretary General expects that Ukraine's Allies will be more active in supply to the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces for defense and a counter -offensive of weapons. "We are in the decisive phase of the war. It is important that we give Ukraine weapons needed to win," he stressed. Earlier, Germany, France, Poland and the United States announced new military assistance packages for Ukraine.

This is the first time in the 11 months of the war, the Ukrainian army will receive Western armored vehicles. According to Jens Stoltenberg, the supply of heavy equipment can be increased. "Recent promises for providing heavy military equipment are important - and I am waiting for more in the near future," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. It should be noted that Stoltenberg's statements were heard on the eve of a new meeting in Ramstein format, which will take place on January 20.

On this basis, we can assume that the Ukrainian army will receive more armored vehicles from the Allies to change the situation at the front. On January 11, after meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, Polish chairman Andrzej Duda said that Ukraine would transfer LEOPARD 2 tank company to Ukraine as part of an international coalition. Western tanks are much better than the tanks of the Soviet era, which were already passed on to the Ukrainian army.

By analogy with HIMARS, Ukraine can continue to expect an increase in deliveries. The main difference is in the ammunition. In Soviet tanks, ammunition is around the crew because of the charging machine. And in the western ammunition are stored in the back of the tower, so the crew increases the chances of surviving if the tank is lined. In addition, the UK Prime Minister Risha Sunak also considers the issue of the Kamenger Tanks to Ukraine.

After negotiations with Vladimir Zelensky, French President Emmanuel Macron announced the transfer of AMX-10RC combat armored vehicles and Bison's BTRs. AMX-10RC machines are often called "wheel tanks"-because of a powerful 105mm weapon. BTR BASION is a French multi -purpose armored personnel carrier, built on a 4x4 wheel formula. The equipment was developed in 2012. For over 10 years, BASION has been used in the Middle East and Africa. Its reservation will protect the crew from balls of 7. 62 mm.

The United States announced a record package of military assistance for $ 3 billion, of which more than $ 2 billion was assigned to Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive the M2 Bradley BMP in the M2A2 modification, created in the experience of the Storm in the Desert Operation. States will also strengthen the Ukrainian army one of the latest versions of the M109A6 Paladin.

Recall, according to The Wall Street Journal, Russia was ahead of the United States and other Western allies on the supply of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces with military equipment. Thus, one Battalion "Carpathian Sich" captured 10 Russian T-80 tanks and 5 howitzers 2C5 "Hyacint" in Izum. Focus also said that, in addition to the Armed Forces tanks, other Western armored vehicles could be obtained.
