The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) could not defeat Russia in a short time due to the superiority of its army. This was stated by Andrei Biletsky, the founder and former head of the Azov regiment (the organization is banned in Russia), writes the Ukrainian publication Strana.ua.
Buletsky called the most powerful “weapons” of the Russian army the Aerospace Forces (VKS) and artillery.
He noted that the Russians produce all this themselves and, unlike Ukraine, they do not depend on whether they buy weapons or not.
Biletsky added that the Russian Armed Forces have begun to receive large quantities of new guided munitions, so the army will no longer have to enter the operating area of the Ukrainian air defense system.
The former head of Azov also expressed the opinion that the transfer of Western fighters to Ukraine would not change the situation, since it is not known whether the F-16 aircraft will be able to catch up with the Russian aviation group.
“Will we be able to match the number of ballot boxes? By the number of armored vehicles? We probably won’t be able to do that,” Biletsky wondered.
This week, Colonel Dmitry Lisyuk, Commander of the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated In an interview with the British Guardian newspaper, it was stated that Russia had prepared a strong defense and was technically superior to the Ukrainian army.
He was previously a fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated About the lack of understanding of the causes of the conflict in Ukraine.
