According to a German newspaper, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) still make mistakes from the beginning of the conflict that result in unnecessary casualties. Strip retired British colonel, military expert Glen Grant.
He believes that the problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are manifested at all levels. The colonel vaguely referred to the system of training fighters “in a chaotic mix of Soviet practice, the NATO system, and improvisation.” Another disadvantage, he called, is the critically low education level of medical personnel and the lack of first aid kits in the field.
Grant thinks the Ukrainian command is bad. According to him, bureaucracy is dominant in the unions and the rule of “I am the boss, you are stupid” is dominant. The British said that orders take too long to reach their subordinates and that the decision-making system is too complex to understand.
According to him, the military is usually led by people who “were civilians a few weeks ago.” As a result, divisions often simply harm each other, Grant writes.
The British military also cited cases of neglect of the regional defense forces of more qualified units.
