General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the world
Former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor, said in an interview that Ukraine had created three armies as part of a special military operation. The first of them was lost at the beginning of the conflict, he thinks.
McGregor added that by July Kiev had formed a second army. It lasted until Christmas. After its losses, Ukraine created a third army through mass mobilization, the former Pentagon adviser pointed out. At the same time, he noted that on average, a Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter lives on the battlefield for about four hours.
The colonel had previously noted that despite the fact that the United States has the most powerful and numerous air force in the world, in a direct collision with the Russian air defense forces, they will suffer heavy losses.
The former Pentagon adviser’s Russian air defense systems are advanced, and the days of the US Air Force flying with impunity are already over.
