Recently, the Russian army's electronic warfare capabilities on the battlefield have been further improved, which has brought tremendous pressure to the Ukrainian army. Over the years, the Russian army has developed a large number of advanced electronic warfare equipment, mainly used to counter NATO's highly dependent network information system. In contrast, the electronic warfare equipment of the Ukrainian army is mainly from the Soviet era, and the technical level is seriously lagging behind.
Due to the superiority of the Russian army, Ukraine's communication system was paralyzed, and the command system was seriously damaged. Fortunately, the West provided a large amount of military assistance in a timely manner, including advanced equipment, which helped the Ukrainian army to make up for its disadvantages in electronic warfare and successfully survive the crisis in the early stages of the war.
In addition, the West has also made full use of the weak perception of the Russian army on the battlefield to direct small units of the Ukrainian army to carry out interspersed and surprise attacks, and the Ukrainian commander-in-chief, Zaluzhny, once ridiculed the Russian army's electronic warfare system as just a paper tiger.
However, this does not mean that the Ukrainian army can already easily confront the Russian army, because the electronic warfare capabilities of the Russian army have always been an important advantage for them.
The Ukrainian army has shown itself quite assertively in the conflict in Ukraine, but they have overestimated their strength. Compared with Ukraine, Russia, as the successor of the Soviet Union, has a richer accumulation of military technology. After a period of running-in, the Russian army's electronic warfare units have mastered the combat methods of NATO, and have made large-scale adjustments in tactics and deployment.
And what is surprising is that NATO countries believe that the advanced ** system has actually failed on the battlefield. Some of the ** equipment of the Ukrainian army, such as 155mm "Excalibur" GPS-guided artillery shells, GMLRS long-range guided rockets and ATACMS missiles, JDAM-ER guided gliding bombs and "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles, etc., often lose their deadly threat when confronting the Russian army. In addition, the "Starlink" system, which once played an important role in the Battle of Kharkiv, was also destroyed after the Russian army upgraded its electronic countermeasures device, and the communication network of the grassroots units of the Ukrainian army is at risk of disintegration.
In such a situation, the drones used by the Ukrainian army in large numbers have also become a key target, and according to analysis, about 10,000 drones are lost every week. What's more serious is that Ukraine has lost many important cities, which has seriously damaged the status and image of the Ukrainian army.
Although the Ukrainian side has not publicly stated that the "big **" has failed or stopped, in the eyes of the West, the Ukrainian army is already doomed to defeat in this war. On the one hand, the Ukrainian army is mired in a war of attrition, and they have strategically barely recovered any territory, while at the same time, the territory actually controlled by the Russian army has expanded by more than 500 square kilometers.
On the other hand, the nine elite brigade-level units trained by NATO have also been depleted, and there is not much left on the battlefield for the ** provided by the West, and their so-called "big** has no chance of winning at all." The Russian army has begun to launch a multi-pronged offensive in different regions, including Kupyansk, Svato, Crimea, Veliky Novohilka, **Mut and Avadiivka, among others.
Recently, a joint assault group consisting of the elite of "Wagner" and the Donetsk Corps made a major breakthrough in the southeast direction of the city of Avadiivka, successfully seizing the industrial fortress and breaking through the second line of defense of the Ukrainian army. For the Ukrainian army, if it continues like this, they may not be able to survive this winter.
In such a predicament, the Ukrainian army finally came up with the much-anticipated "trump card" M1A1 main battle tank provided by the United States. The tanks have been deployed to the front lines, meeting Ukraine's urgent defense needs and demonstrating the high importance that the United States places on Ukraine's defense infrastructure.
According to reports, the tanks belong to the M1A1 "Situational Awareness (SA)" model, which the US Army is armed with 650 units. Although it is not the latest M1A2 tank and is not equipped with depleted uranium shells, the M1A1SA has some enhancements compared to the base model, such as an upgraded laser rangefinder and a new remote-controlled ** station.
However, the limited number of M1A1 tanks provided by the United States could not determine the course of the war. Some commentators believe that in the current situation, sending small tank units is of little use and will only give people heads. Therefore, the Ukrainian army still faces huge challenges.
Summary: The current situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war is not optimistic, the Ukrainian army is obviously inferior to the Russian army in electronic warfare capabilities, frequently loses a large number of drones, and has hardly achieved any gains strategically. Although the Ukrainian army came up with the much-anticipated M1A1 tank, it was difficult to change the tide of the battle due to the limited number. Therefore, the Ukrainian army still faces huge challenges and needs more support and assistance to change the current situation.
