Confidence in many Russian weapons systems has been undermined
Relevant information was reported by the intelligence of the British Ministry of Defense. The reason was the exceptional demand for arming its own forces in Ukraine and the growing influence of Western sanctions.
According to British intelligence, Russia's military-industrial potential is under significant pressure due to aggression against Ukraine.
< p>In addition, the British department stressed that the credibility of many Russian weapons systems was undermined due to their connection with poor performance in the war in Ukraine.
What else did British intelligence say
The report says that Belarus recently released details of a new domestically upgraded T-72B main battle tank.
Belarus likely developed this alternative solution instead of a modification program for which there was a contract with a Russian state-owned company ” Uralvagonzavod”.
