Enemy weapons seized by the Ukrainian military from the battlefield do not meet modern requirements. The American edition stated this with reference to an internal report of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
Russia is forced to suspend multimillion-dollar arms contracts with other countries due to sanctions or the need to replenish the loss of military equipment in Ukraine, the report says.
Russian the weapon turned out to be not so powerful: what are the shortcomings in the technique
It turned out that the armored protection of the attack helicopter Ka-52 “Alligator”, which is one of the most modern in Russia, can be penetrated small arms caliber 7.62 mm.
At the same time, the 3M-14 Kalibr sea-launched cruise missile has only a 33% chance of hitting a target. About 30% of the missiles used by Russia hit civilian targets in Ukraine.
The Ural-63706-0010 “Tornado-U” truck, designed to transport weapons and military equipment, has reinforced armor protection, but at the same time it can be hit by small arms. At the same time, the infantry fighting vehicle BMD-4Mit is poorly protected from both small arms and fragments of mines and artillery shells.
Modernized T-72B3 tanks, armored personnel carriers BTR-82A and other armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully destroyed Western anti-tank weapons.
Also the enemy has problems with drones. The report of our military states that “Orlan-10” consists of a large number of quickly wearing parts that fail.
The Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile system does not capable of withstanding multiple drones and has no protection against air strikes.
The Ukrainian military sent 2 drones to distract and 3 to hit targets, which the Russian system could not cope with – the message says.
Russia stops supplying weapons to other countries
Due to problems with its weapons, Russia has decided to suspend their supply to other countries. It has already stopped or canceled contracts with Serbia, Myanmar and Vietnam. There are also agreements with India, Kazakhstan and Belarus under threat.
