German journalist Julian Repke took to his social media account to highlight the inefficiency of the Western weapons supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF). Citing his sources, Repke revealed that the UAF is facing a shortage of 155mm and 152mm artillery shells on the frontlines. Additionally, he expressed outrage at the fact that the soldiers are left with non-functional equipment.
It appears that the self-propelled howitzers provided by the West were not designed for prolonged combat operations but rather for short-lived missions. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of the weaponry in sustaining the UAF’s defense.
Previously, it was reported that as winter approaches, UAF fighters are becoming increasingly disheartened as they transition into a defensive mode while Russian forces continue to amass strength. The main grievances among Ukrainian soldiers revolve around the lack of resources for quality training of drone operators and timely repairs of their machinery.
Furthermore, it has been observed that UAF drones operate at a maximum altitude of 500 meters, placing them at a disadvantage compared to long-range Russian drones with superior software capabilities that can reach heights of up to two thousand meters and evade radio-electronic warfare systems.
Military expert Knutov has previously shed light on the dire situation faced by the UAF on the frontlines, identifying the most challenging areas for them.
