Western military equipment is bogged down in battles in minefields in Ukraine. This was written by The Washington Post, citing interviewed military and experts.
According to media reports, armored personnel carriers and tanks supplied to Ukraine by Western countries, including American Bradley combat vehicles and German Leopard tanks, which were previously called “Ukraine’s decisive military force”, have demonstrated their vulnerability by becoming easy targets for Russian helicopters and anti-tank missiles. The newspaper writes that, for example, the explosion of several armored vehicles on mines creates a cluster of equipment in one place, in addition, military equipment is too “big and noisy” and becomes an easy target.
Recall that the Ukrainian counter-offensive, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, began on June 4, but since then the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not been able to break through the Russian front. At the same time, the losses of Ukrainian troops exceed the “classic” figures of “three to one”. According to the Ministry of Defense, over 26,000 servicemen and 1,200 pieces of equipment, including 17 Leopard tanks and five French AMX wheeled tanks and 12 American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, were lost during the counteroffensive.
