The picture shows the Russian soldiers on the front line, the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, is not only the struggle for the territorial sovereignty and development direction of the two countries, but also the contest of various types of ** between the two sides. Judging from the war report in Ukraine, the ** supported by NATO was blown into the sky by the Ukrainian side, is the Russian-made equipment really inferior to the West?
France** provided Ukraine with Storm Shadow long-range missiles on July 11. In this way, the Ukrainian army has four missiles with relatively excellent performance, namely the "Dot" U ballistic missile, the "Neptune" anti-ship missile, the "Thunder 2" tactical missile, and the "Storm Shadow" long-range missile aided by France. Among them, the "Storm Shadow" long-range missile can be launched directly from fighters or ships with a range of 250 to 500 kilometers, which also shows that the Ukrainian army can strike the Russian army in the entire eastern region of Ukraine at a location far from the front line. And the "Dot" U ballistic missile is Ukraine's inheritance of the Soviet Union, but both Russia and Ukraine have equipment. The "Thunder-2" tactical missile was funded by Saudi Arabia and developed by Ukraine itself. And the "Neptune" anti-ship missile was modified by Ukraine on the basis of the "Uranus" missile.
The picture shows the "Storm Shadow" cruise missile Since the "Storm Shadow" long-range missile was provided to Ukraine, the West has constantly claimed the power of this missile, and there are even voices saying that the missile's hit rate can reach 100 percent, and the Russian army cannot intercept it and other exaggerated words. However, the Russian army captured a "Storm Shadow" in Zaporozhye, and from the published **, only half of this missile is still complete. According to the Russian army, in order to prevent this ** from falling into the hands of the enemy, NATO installed a GPS satellite positioning system in the missile boat, therefore, in the process of transportation to the Russian Military Industrial Research Institute, the Ukrainian army also came to "snatch", but under the maintenance of the Russian army, the missile was successfully sent to the Russian Military Industrial Research Institute, which also means that the "undefeated myth" in NATO's mouth will face the risk of being cracked.
In addition, the "Leopard 2", which has always been known as the world's top tank, has also been frequently damaged on the battlefield, and its expensive ** has also raised questions. The "Leopard 2" tank is the third-generation main battle tank designed and developed by Germany after World War II, and it is also the only main battle tank in Germany's active armored forces. But on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the "Leopard 2" was fiercely attacked by the Russian army, and on June 8, Russian Defense Minister General Shoigu said that at about 1:30 that night, 1,500 Ukrainian soldiers launched a fierce offensive against Zaporizhzhia.
The picture shows the "Leopard 2" main battle tank In this operation, the Ukrainian army invested the German "Leopard 2" main battle tank and the American M113 armored vehicle in an attempt to break down the Russian army's defense line and open a breakthrough in one fell swoop, but under the sniper of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army finally failed. And under the blows of the Russian Air Force, artillery and anti-tank units, the Ukrainian army suffered heavy losses when it was evacuated. Subsequently, the Russian army's war report pointed out that the Ukrainian army lost nearly 30 tanks, 11 infantry fighting vehicles, and about 350 soldiers in this offensive.
The loss of combat vehicles includes 5 to 7 "Leopard 2" tanks, from the Russian army released ** shows that the Ukrainian armored unit composed of "Leopard 2" tanks and M113 combat vehicles is advancing on the road, but suddenly attacked by artillery fire from the Russian army, and many tanks were blown up and smoke came out in an instant. In addition, the Russian army also planted mines on the road that the Ukrainian army must pass, which also caused some damage to the ** equipment of the Ukrainian army, but the Ukrainian army blamed its defeat on the battlefield on the ** aid of NATO.
The picture shows the M1A1 Abrams tank, which is also the reason why the Americans are afraid to support the M1A1 Abrams tank to Ukraine, because they understand in their hearts that once these tanks arrive on the battlefield in Ukraine, they will be like "Leopard" tanks, under the "confused" operation of the Ukrainian army, they will be hit and destroyed by Russian artillery or Russian-made **. The most surprising thing is that the Russian army also captured the French "Caesar" artillery. This also casts doubt on the true performance of NATO. Especially after the arrival of Zircon anti-ship missiles, Ukraine's dense air defense system seems to be stretched, although the Ukrainian army has a number of NATO air defense missile systems, but under Ukrainian operations, they seem to be difficult to play the desired effect.
But this is not all a problem of the Ukrainian army, and the performance of NATO may itself have certain drawbacks. During the war in Yemen, the "Patriot 2" air defense system deployed by Saudi Arabia was frequently penetrated by missiles and drones used by Houthi armed groups, resulting in heavy losses for Saudi Arabia. The US military base in Iraq has also been hit by large-scale missile attacks by Iran, and the US "Patriots" have not been able to play a sufficient interception role.
The picture shows the Su-35 fighter In fact, NATO and Russia's ** equipment is "half a catty", and the Russian-made ** has also been damaged many times in this war, such as T90 main battle tanks, Su-35 fighters, etc., have been hit by Ukraine, in addition, the Russian army also lost a BMPT tank, on February 11, the Ukrainian army released a **, the content shows that the Ukrainian army fired multiple shells at a BMPT tank that lost power and destroyed it.
Last year, the Russian army sent the "Terminator" tank to the eastern part of the country, because it was equivalent to the main battle tank's mobility, protection, and terrifying firepower output performance, which was highly expected by the Russian army. After the destruction of the BMPT tank, the Ukrainian army said that the tank is the new equipment of the Russian army, and it is currently reported that only a few are in service, which is the first record of battlefield damage to this special combat vehicle. Not only that, but even the cruiser "Moskva", which the Russian Navy called "proud", was sunk in this battle. And the damage of all kinds of ** equipment has also broken the legend of the Russian **.
The picture shows the Ukrainian soldiers on the front line, this battle shows that whether it is NATO** or Russian** in the hands of Ukraine, there is a lot of room for improvement. For Ukraine, instead of being overly dependent on NATO, it is better to improve its own strength and create a ** equipment that suits it. The performance of Russia and Ukraine in this conflict proves that any development must be based on the needs of the battlefield, and cannot pursue a false reputation.
