The "ancient" weapon, which the command of the Russian Federation gets from "chests" confuses Western journalists. They are convinced that a little more, and the Russians will run in the Ukrainian steppes "with bows and arrows". This is stated in the article of The Telegraph. Yes, the publication notes that in Ukraine recently "lit" Russian artillery gun D-74. The forces of defense quickly destroyed it on the battlefield.
According to The Telegraph, the destruction of one howitzer does not play any role in the war. However, the attention was attracted by the fact that the D-74 came to the conveyor in the 1950s and was gradually removed from the Soviet Red Army weapons in the 1970s. "We can combine this with reports that, having lost more than 6,000 tanks, Russia again puts on the T-55. T-55 was a wonderful tank, but its design dates from the end of the Second World War.
For the last time I saw the British Challenger 1. Bretton-Gordon. Bretton-Gordon expressed surprise that in three years of a full-scale war in Ukraine Russia has already lost one million servicemen, and two million more will be needed to capture the remaining 25% of Donbass. "Even the most ardent and optimistic supporter of the tyrannical Russian regime must realize that his army is in the last breath. At some point, they will only remain with muskets or bows and arrows," the journalist writes.
The analyst added that the use of rare weapons, including D-74, indicates that Russia's more modern and powerful 152 mm shells end in Russia, but it can replenish its stocks by supply from North Korea. At the same time, it is a demonstration that Putin will continue the struggle at any cost in weapons and human lives. "He knows that if he fails, he is unlikely to enjoy a peaceful pension.
Having much prevailing military forces, [the political forces of the event] should manage the situation, not the Kremlin," Gemish de Bretton-Gordon emphasizes. The journalist noted that the restrained response of Europe to the shelling of Ukrainian cities forces Putin to feel unpunished and continue "in the same spirit. " At the same time, British tanks, air defense, other weapons of the event would be a real help of the Armed Forces, and they are provided too not enough.
"On the battlefield, Putin is clearly close to the complete exhaustion of weapons, as he is forced to wave dust from the old T-55 and D-74. He is also lacking people. If the event is firmly in support of Ukraine, the dictator will soon have to go to negotiations," Gemish de Bretton summarized. In one of the directions of the front was noticed a rare Soviet development-a fighting machine of intelligence and management "Ladoga", built on the basis of the T-80 tank.
According to experts, the appearance of a rare sample on the front may be associated with a deficiency of armored vehicles. In addition, in the adjacent section of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces "Birds of Magyara" destroyed a rare Russian howitzer, which was developed during Stalin. The strike confirmed the opinion of The Telegraph The Telegraph that the Russians are difficult with the artillery.
In the area of Avdiivka in the Donetsk region, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost BTR-50, which was produced in the 1950s. At that time, it was already the second such armored personnel carrier, who destroyed the defense forces of Ukraine. It was also reported that Russian soldiers train at the sniper rifles of the Russian Imperial Army - "Mosinki", which were adopted in the late 19th century.
