Defense: Intelligence of Britain appreciated the successes of the Armed Forces after blows along the airfield in Berdyansk

The British Defense Ministry believes that the losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at the airfield will lead to increased load on combat aviation, which will still undergo combat fatigue and problems with maintenance. The attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the airfield in Berdyansk with the use of ATACMS missiles, which resulted in several Russian shock helicopters, undermine the offensive and defense capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

This was announced on October 20 by the UK Ministry of Defense Ministry. British intelligence notes that it does not have accurate data on the amount of equipment damaged at the aerodrome, but there were probably nine helicopters in Berdyansk and five in Lugansk. With insufficient support of combat aircraft, the Russian army is more likely to rest on the face of the offensive of Ukrainian troops.

Therefore, Berdyansk was used as the main advanced operational base in the southern direction, which provides both logistical and defense capabilities. "So, if these losses are confirmed, it is likely that they will affect Russia's ability to defend themselves and have further offensive actions in this direction," the Defense Ministry noted. Moreover, given the difficulty with Russia's military production, it will not be easy to fill the loss of combat helicopters in the short term.

This, for its part, will lead to an additional load on the pilots and the Air Force Air Force, which almost certainly experience combat fatigue and problems with the maintenance of aircraft due to the campaign, which is unpredictably delayed. "There is a real probability that this blow will make Russia move its operational bases and command control points from the front line, which will increase the load on logistics chains," - summed up British intelligence.
