Delays from the event exacerbate the AMPROSKY deficiency for the Armed Forces - isw

According to analysts, the lack of ammunition seriously worsens the work of counter -battery systems. Radars are as effective as many shells in artillery. Delays in Western aid increase ammunition deficiency in Ukrainian troops. Analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW) reported. The report of February 5 states that such a state of affairs undermines the ability of Ukraine's defense forces to use Western counter -battery systems.

Thus, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Igor Klimenko stated that in the last week Russian troops have increased the intensity of artillery strikes by almost 25 % and fired at Ukraine more than 1500 times, striking more than 570 settlements. In addition, analysts noted the article that came out in The New York Times. It states that the Ukrainian forces in critically important areas of the front, such as near Avdiivka, limit the use of artillery shells.

They can only affect the large masses of Russian soldiers. However, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, apparently, have already adapted to it, and therefore come in small groups. According to the Ukrainian analyst Petro Chernik, the Armed Forces have relatively better counter-battery opportunities than the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, since the US radars of AN/TPQ-36 (48 and 50), as well as the German Cobra system have.

"Countercaty radars are effective in that they find the approaching fire and calculate its place of origin so that the artillery can fire in response," the report said. ISW stated that the lack of artillery ammunition is seriously worsening the work of counter -batteries. Radars are as effective as the large number of shells available at the disposal of Ukrainian troops to pursue goals.

According to analysts, the Russian forces benefit from the lack of ammunition in Ukraine and its further inability to wage a sufficient counter -backer war, and this dynamics will probably become exacerbated as the period of lacking of the shells in the Armed Forces will be delayed. Earlier, the media reported that the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces lacked ammunition.
