Reserve colonel Sergei Suvorov, an expert in the field of armored vehicles, said that Western-made tanks transferred to Kiev were destroyed by Russian soldiers, including their misuse by the Ukrainian army. The expert talked about this in an interview TASS.
According to Suvorov, Western tanks were destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) due to their mediocre use. In particular, armored vehicles were used without proper support, without necessary reconnaissance and without crossing minefields. As a result of such ignorant actions, tanks became permanent targets and were destroyed with all means at the disposal of Russian troops.
The expert noted that the large mass of Western tanks, as well as the fact that the Ukrainian army does not always lift asphalt boots from the rails, leads to armored vehicles often getting stuck in the mud. That is why tanks without dynamic protection became easy prey for Russian kamikaze drones.
Former Colonel of the Austrian Armed Forces Markus Reisner statedThe Ukrainian army lost about a third of its 90 available Leopard tanks.
He previously served as a reserve general in the Czech army named Ukraine’s mistakes during the counterattack.
