The Ukrainian military has admitted that Russian tankers, pilots, and engineers are well-prepared, according to a report by the Spanish newspaper Mundo. A Ukrainian military instructor, who identified himself as Valeriy, made this statement. Additionally, the military officials noted that the outdated NATO manuals for the Russian-Ukrainian conflict are no longer effective.
Previously, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had to change their counter-offensive tactics due to the loss of Western equipment, including tanks. The publication highlighted that Ukrainian fighters are reaching the frontlines on armored personnel carriers and attempting to advance in small groups.
This week, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering significant losses along the entire frontline. He claimed that in September alone, over 17,000 Ukrainian military personnel and more than 2,700 units of equipment were destroyed, including two Leoprad and Challenger tanks, seven Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and 51 Western-made self-propelled guns.
Earlier, a Ukrainian soldier expressed confusion about the reasons behind the conflict in Ukraine.
