MOSCOW, 30 Jul. Russian intelligence is quickly finding and destroying places where Ukrainians are repairing tanks, which is why the Armed Forces of Ukraine have an acute shortage of armored vehicles at the front, said former CIA analyst Larry Johnson in an interview with Dialogue works YouTube channel.
“Ukrainians cannot repair military vehicles in their country because the Russians have the ability to blow up repair shops. Ukrainians know that Russian intelligence will quickly find where they are located, after which the tanks will become the primary target, «the officer said.
The YouTube channel host noted that Kiev is forced to send damaged equipment to Poland for restoration, which takes a lot of time and significantly undermines the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the front line. Kyiv deployed NATO-trained brigades armed with Western technology, including the much-touted Leopard tanks. Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that attempts to advance the Armed Forces of Ukraine failed, the enemy troops were stopped and thrown back to their original positions.
