Although the Russians controlled some of the cities in eastern Ukraine, Ukraine was currently planning a counter-offensive to regain the cities controlled by the Russians. The main reason why Ukraine has this confidence is that the attack force of Western aid weapons is increasing.
First, Ukraine has acquired 3 German Cheetah air defense tanks
As we all know, the performance of German tanks and tanks has always been good.
Recently, Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov said that the first batch of 15 German "Cheetah" air defense combat vehicles aided Ukraine, and 3 of them have arrived in Ukraine and handed over to the Ukrainian army. He also said there were also tens of thousands of shells.
Asked if Ukraine would receive German tanks, Reznikov said: "I hope so." We still think that the German Panther tank is the most likely, and many of the owners are our friendly countries. And our plan, friendly countries to aid us with more than a dozen Leopard tanks, and train Ukrainian tank personnel abroad, most likely in the Baltic states. The Ukrainian military has signed agreements on training grounds in foreign countries. ”
He added that as long as it is ready, a new generation of modern tank support programs will continue, not only the Panther tank, but also the American M1 Abrand main battle tank or others.
The Cheetah anti-aircraft fighting vehicle is a German mobile low-altitude anti-aircraft weapon of the 1970s, it has 2 35 mm Aurecan anti-aircraft guns, the fire control system is a set of X-band and K-band radars, which can strike helicopters and low-altitude fighters with an altitude of 1500 meters and a range of 5 kilometers.
In fact, it has withdrawn from the front-line combat sequence, and several major user countries have sealed it, but its combat capability can still not be underestimated. Last month, Germany's Rheinmetall offered the idea of reinforcing the Cheetah air defense vehicle to Ukrainian troops.
Second, the Ukrainian army used the Polish "kamikaze" drone to attack the Russian military camp
A video recently released by the Intelligence General Directorate of the Ministry of Defense (HUR) of Ukraine showed that the Ukrainian military successfully hit the Russian military camp in Ankhd on the southern Ukrainian front with the "comrade-in-arms" stranded ammunition (also known as the kamikaze drone) provided by Poland.
The Ukrainian side said that the Ukrainian army destroyed a truck, including an anti-aircraft gun, a BM-21 "hail" multiple rocket launcher, and several tents. According to HUR, 3 Russian soldiers were killed and 12 wounded.
Russia said that the Ukrainian army used the drone to attack the Zaporozhia nuclear power plant, but did not cause harm to the nuclear power plant.
The "Comrade-in-Arms" drone is a dead-air ammunition developed by the Polish company WB Electronics, which can fly up to 70 kilometers. The so-called airborne ammunition is a slow and cheap unmanned aerial vehicle with an explosive warhead, usually powered by an electric propeller, flying into the combat zone to search for targets, and directly attacking after finding the target.
Third, the Ukrainian army destroyed the Russian S-300 air defense system at Kherson
After the Ukrainian army obtained the powerful weapons of the West, it also constantly exposed the news of the victory over the Russian army.
A video released by the Ukrainian military recently shows that the Ukrainian army successfully destroyed the Russian S-300 missile system south of Kherson, which may mean that the Ukrainian army is continuing to clear the Russian defenses in order to prepare for the reconquest of Kherson's counter-offensive operation.
The description of the video said that Ukrainian forces successfully destroyed at least 2 S-300 surface-to-air missile vehicles and 1 command vehicle.
Of particular note is the site of the destruction of the S-300, which, according to the video description, is located in Zeleno Tobinski in the southern part of Kherson Oblast, a settlement 40 km southwest of the city of Kherson, where the long-range firepower of Ukrainian forces would appear to have been able to encompass the entire city of Kherson if Ukraine had been able to hit it.
The S-300 is Russia's first multi-target phased array radar-guided anti-aircraft missile, with performance close to that of the American Patriot missile, which in addition to its ability to strike incoming aircraft, also provides some cruise missile and ballistic missile interception capabilities.
Although Russia has introduced the better-performing S-400, the S-300 continues to be in service on the front lines.
It can be seen that with the strengthening of Western aid to Ukraine, it is not easy for the Russian army to hold the ground under its control, and it is even more difficult to advance forward. (Inoue Frog)
