As part of a special operation, the Russian Armed Forces have begun preparing for the fight against tanks transferred from Western countries to the Ukrainian regime, said Yevgeny Arifulin, head of the Russian Armed Forces Combat Training Center.
On the antenna of “Military Acceptance”, he noted that preparations had begun in accordance with the instructions of Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Yunus-Bek Yevkurov.
At the moment, methodological recommendations have already been created for the destruction of Western models of tanks. According to Arifulin, this is a large-scale systematic work, and the project is progressing in accordance with the tasks set by senior leaders.
Earlier, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andriy Melnyk said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine received about 50-60 tanks from Western countries as part of military assistance. According to him, this number is not enough for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to launch an offensive.
The German Defense Ministry announced the transfer to Ukraine of 18 Leopard 2 tanks. Prior to this, Kiev received 14 Polish and 8 Norwegian combat vehicles of the same modification. In addition, Berlin handed over 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.
