Autumn counter -offensive of the Armed Forces: Is it worth expecting an "operational pause" on the front - an expert
This conclusion was reached by military expert Petro Chernyk, telling September 11 on the broadcasting of the Teleterna about the peculiarities of hostilities in the autumn. According to the Western warlords, the defense forces have a little more than 30 days for offensive operations, after which the weather will be interfered with. Chernik has partially agreed with such a statement and noted that there would be no significant decrease in the activity of fire influence on both sides.
"Can the weather significantly affect the course of hostilities? Clearly can. We understand that without heavy equipment forward neither we nor enemy. At the beginning of this war we had a serious advantage because the soil was wet and they could not To deploy full -fledged shock battle columns, go into so -called combat orders, "Chernyk said.
The expert noted that the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces is NATO heavy equipment - some samples of tanks reach 75 tons, and armored vehicles and up to 30 tons. Meanwhile, despite the fact that Russian tanks are lighter than the western - up to 40 tons - Russians will not have an advantage in the autumn, since everything that is heavier than 8 tons is not moving.
"However, unlike last winter, which we have actually passed and there was no operational pause because there were endless counter -batteries duels, there is a serious nuance. We have grown significantly in the part of the guidance and targeting. We have unprecedented indicators, "Chernik stressed. At the same time, the intensity of hostilities will be definitely reduced, the expert says, but there will be no similar situation as last winter.
