Russia’s huge tank losses are blamed on ‘inept’ Kremlin top brass as MoD mocks ‘poor’ efforts of Vladimir Putin’s troops in Ukraine
Britain yesterday mocked 'the poor performance' of Russia's armed forces in Ukraine, blaming the country's top brass for their ineptitude and lack of discipline amid huge losses suffered by Vladimir Putin 's invading forces. A daily intelligence report by the Ministry of Defence said Moscow had lost a large number of battle tanks because they were not equipped with explosive reactive armour technology – or ERA. 'Used correctly, ERA degrades the effectiveness of incoming projectiles before they hit the tank,' the report said. 'This suggests that Russian forces have not rectified a culture of poor ERA use, which dates back to the First Chechen War in 1994.' The report added: 'It is highly likely that many Russian tank crews lack the training to maintain ERA, leading to either poor fitting of the explosive elements, or it being left off entirely.' British officials said 'the war has seen numerous failures by Russian commanders to enforce low-level battle discipline', adding: … [Read more...] about Russia’s huge tank losses are blamed on ‘inept’ Kremlin top brass as MoD mocks ‘poor’ efforts of Vladimir Putin’s troops in Ukraine
Pentagon acknowledges sending previously undisclosed anti-radar missiles to Ukraine
(CNN) The Pentagon announced Monday that the US has sent anti-radar missiles for Ukrainian aircraft to target Russian radar systems , marking the first time the Defense Department has acknowledged sending the previously undisclosed missile to Ukraine . Colin Kahl, the under secretary of defense for policy, said at a press briefing that the US had sent "a number" of the missiles without specifying how many the US has provided or when they were sent. Kahl did not explicitly say what type of anti-radiation missile was sent. A defense official told CNN the type of missile sent was the AGM-88 High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM). Produced by Raytheon, HARMs have a range in excess of 30 miles, according to the US Air Force, making them one of the longer-range weapons the US has provided to Ukraine. The missiles can be used to target Russian anti-aircraft radar systems, such as the S-400, which have made it very difficult for the Ukrainian Air Force to … [Read more...] about Pentagon acknowledges sending previously undisclosed anti-radar missiles to Ukraine

With New Weaponry, Ukraine Is Subtly Shifting Its War Strategy
KYIV, Ukraine — From spring into summer, the Ukrainian military was pummeled by Russian artillery in eastern Ukraine, steadily losing ground and as many as 200 soldiers a day in a mismatched, head-to-head contest. But in recent weeks, Ukraine has shifted its strategy with the help of new weaponry and succeeded, at least for now, in slowing Russia’s advances. Supplied with a growing arsenal of long-range Western weapons and aided by local fighters known as partisans, Ukraine has been able to hit Russian forces deep behind enemy lines, disrupting critical supply lines and, increasingly, striking targets that are key to Moscow’s combat potential. The new weapons have also forced Russia to recalibrate on the battlefield, creating some breathing room for the Ukrainians to make more strategic decisions. One blow to the Russians this week was a series of explosions at an air base on the occupied Crimean Peninsula that destroyed at least eight warplanes , and that a Ukrainian … [Read more...] about With New Weaponry, Ukraine Is Subtly Shifting Its War Strategy
