The last opportunity to equip Ukraine with the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation remains - the analyst (video)

London confirmed the transfer of 14 Challenger 2 tanks of "possible 100" that the Allies can put the Allied troops, depending on the results of the meeting in the Ramstein format. It takes 10 weeks to prepare a tank crew, and according to Professor Clark, January 20 is the last date when the Allies can still have time to equip Ukraine before a new offensive of Russian troops, which is expected at the beginning of the year.

Challenger 2 tanks exceed Russian counterparts on security, although the Kremlin said the day before that British tanks will "burn like others". According to Clark, Challenger is much better than that of the Russians and is able to withstand hit. "The Russians use T-72, T-80, T-90 on the battlefield. Challenger 2 is better than them. Even if they hit it, it will not hurt. Therefore, it is a very, very good tank," the expert explained, adding adding What is the main question now.

Russia conducts so -called joint training with the Belarusian army in order to stretch the Ukrainian forces, says Michael Clark. At the same time, the border area with Belarus is mostly drag and swamp, where "no one wants to direct their tank armies. " Therefore, according to the British analyst, the new offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can take place the same route as a year earlier.

The expert added that any new invasion of Russian troops will face a more prepared Ukrainian army, and Minsk, in turn, does not want to be involved in war. In the east of Ukraine, "similar to" that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation seized Soledar at the cost of 15 thousand "Wagner", wounded or killed. The analyst assumes that the Russian forces will now try to take Bakhmut in the environment from the north and south.

Ukraine may have difficulty in keeping the city, but the Russian Federation is unlikely to achieve benefits anywhere in the Donbass. Slavyansk and Kramatorsk - the following strategically important cities in the region - now have become a Ukrainian "fortress". "The Russians have a problem in Kreminna, if they lose it, they are at risk of getting into the environment," the expert explained.
