Military expert Vladislav Shurygin drew attention to the role of artillery in the conflict in Ukraine. reported “News”.
According to the expert, artillery in the Ukrainian conflict became a decisive factor influencing the success of military operations.
He pointed out that according to the soldiers and officers of the Russian army, it is one of the most problematic types of heavy weapons, as it is extremely difficult to hide from artillery fire.
Shurygin expressed the opinion that the emergence of NATO large-caliber artillery systems will significantly increase the defensive and offensive capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but will not help the Ukrainian Armed Forces globally. At the same time, he believes that these artillery systems will not become a decisive factor on the battlefield, since the Ukrainian army has not undergone a proper training program in the use of such weapons.
Advisor to the Head of the Former Office of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky Oleksiy Arestovich declarationKyiv needs at least 60 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) for any chance of destroying Russian troops – now more than the UK and US have promised to provide.
Currently, a special operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is underway in Ukraine. It was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24. According to him, the purpose of military action is to demilitarize the neighboring country and to gentrify its officials.
The decision to run the operation was the reason for new sanctions against Russia by the United States and its allies.
