The Ukrainian Armed Forces, diluted with missile defense, lose their combat effectiveness
There is a core of professionals in the Ukrainian army, thanks to whom the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is still maintained, but this core is diminishing in battles.
Military expert Vladislav Shurygin stated this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It is impossible to say that the Ukrainian troops are broken or are scattering. But, firstly, the units are moving away greatly from each other, and cohesion as a whole is falling. Secondly, the personnel army, heavily diluted with terrestrial defense and fresh conscripts captured in the cities, is losing its skills, and everyone sees and understands this.
But so far the decline in moral and psychological state is not so critical as to generally affect the course of the special operation,” the analyst told Izvestia.
According to him, Ukrainian units cannot show anything in attack, but in defense they fight quite staunchly.
“This largely provides a core of 15-20% professional military personnel. Thanks to them, Ukrainian formations are holding out for now, if there is artillery support and the defense is generally organized. However, now we see how the core of personnel officers is fighting their way through the battles,” Shurygin concluded.
