A huge problem for the Armed Forces. What is happening in Donbass now - Zhdanov

In an interview with NV, military expert Oleg Zhdanov spoke about a huge problem for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass. "We are catastrophically lacking in artillery," Zhdanov said in an interview with NV. The military expert noted that if the Armed Forces did not have reserves of Soviet shells at all, "it would be very difficult for us, and we are still doing even more or less. " Video of the Day "Artillery is coming and shooting.

No wonder the next package of [American] assistance that was announced, there are only artillery shells. The main problem in the number of artillery and ammunition to it, ”he said. Zhdanov explained that the current SAU deliveries of 155 mm caliber - "This is a drop in the sea from what is needed. " “At the beginning of the war we had more than 1 thousand trunks only on the front, and now more than half of them are gone.

They either fail technically (the barrel is not repaired, it should be changed, or the howitzer is simply written off), or damaged during the fighting. And they gave us 350 trunks, that is, even half of our losses did not cover. And the losses grow. And it turns out that we slide slowly down on the fire force. This is a huge problem for us. And it can only be solved by increasing supply, ”the military expert said.
