The Armed Forces will turn winter into weapons: at the airfields of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation waiting for the city of missiles ATACMS
In the winter, Ukrainian troops are planning to attack long -range missiles team centers, ammunition warehouses and the supply lines of the Russian army. American ATACMS, who have recently been secretly put in Kiev, are best suited for this, writes The New York Times (NYT). The Armed Forces Command expects that attacks on military objects in the rear will gradually reduce the enemy's combat capability.
Farbid missiles will allow to beat Russian positions throughout the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. "If Russian troops are engaged in defense on the wide front, they will simply get wet and freeze. Purposeful missile strikes will undermine their logistics," explains Jack Witling, a researcher and land wars at the royal wars at the Royal Institute of Armed Forces. Autumn and winter will be rainy.
The eastern direction-Lugansk and Donetsk regions-will be inaccessible to maneuvers, says the focus of the Colonel of the Armed Forces in stock, military instructor Roman Svitan. "The rains will cover from the occupiers the eastern direction is better than any defensive borders. At this time the Armed Forces will focus on Zaporizhzhya and Kherson. The soils there are clay-sand and water goes out quickly. AtacMS missiles can be operated from Mariupol to Melitopol and New Kakhovka.
They are easily traced, "he comments. It affects the knocking out of logistics chains of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the number of American rockets. Military tasks are often performed for the so -called "golden moon" - how much they knocked out in 30 days, so much and took control, added Svitan. "We need a minimum of 300 rockets to move. Let's take a sign such as Crimean military facilities that are about 150 pieces. It takes at least three missiles for each.
It is already 450 missiles atacms, that is, the minimum working quantity - from 500. Optimal - up to one and a half thousand, " - explained the military. Information resistance coordinator Alexander Kovalenko focuses on the type of ATCMS missiles, which is required for specific purposes. A striking example of the success of using M39 modification could be observed in Berdyansk and Lugansk on October 17. "Perfectly clears aerodromes with 950 subbovitas.
In the future, we will see work at aerodromes near Melitopol. For Crimea we need more long -range, up to 300 kilometers. The Armed Forces will reduce the dominance of the Aviation of the Russian Federation in temporarily occupied territories, since constant launches of controlled. . The fragmental-fugural type of ATACMS combat part is effective for headquarters and warehouses.
And it is more convenient to clear the roads with the integrated use of cassette ammunition and artillery, Kovalenko points out. Kiev can turn winter into weapons against demoralized Russian soldiers, destroying their support systems far beyond the front line. In response, Russia will strike in the civilian energy infrastructure of Ukraine, NYT authors add.
The head of the military intelligence service of Estonia, Colonel ANTS Kiviselg said that there are about 4 million artillery shells in the Russian Federation - this will be enough to continue the low intensity during the year. The DPRK also sent Russia about 350,000 shells. "These deliveries are talking about the Kremlin's plans to continue the war in Ukraine for a long time," the intelligence head notes.
